Thus the loss of Sinister web pages and probably your ability to post to the list for a few days. Sorry! Should be all fixed now; well, if this mail gets thru, it is. At least it made me pipe up. If you sent something, it might turn up in the next few hours/days as it recovers, or it might not. The list bounces so many offers from Nigerian businessmen to invest in offshore diamond deposits these days (mmm tempting) that I'd never be able to spot the genuine mails amongst all the rest. Wait a bit and resend, maybe. Content: we watched the B&S DVD on holiday (for the first time) and noticed that this very list is thanked by name in the video Lance Bangs did for Dirty Dream #2. I see this was mentioned before but it was nice to see: aw. For some reason this made me suddenly realise that the list exists somewhere outside my own mind as well as inside it, which is odd, like when you see a member of your family on TV, waving and grinning and pulling faces behind a TV reporter's head who's describing a horrific disaster. We came back from hols to a dead goldfish (poor Kylie, anyone know any good fish eulogies?) and an ill cat getting iller, bless her little black socks. No connection between the two events. If anyone knows how to pray for cats, say a little one for Shirley: she's named after a Billy Bragg song, after all. She won't last forever, but it would be nice to know she had a bit longer. The vet says she has an enlarged heart: when I first heard that, it sounded like a compliment. No-one needs to tell me Shirl has a big heart, but I didn't know it was fatal.

But it didn't stop us from having a lovely time (who needs sun when you have PUBS?) And as if Monday mornings weren't painful enough, I have immortalised the experience in song: Wrapped Up In Booze It was not that bright, up on Brighton Pier tonight I could see out of the window of Horatio's bar No one on the bumper cars Beside four boys, I just don't know if they are up for What I have in mind If they are up for what I have in mind Pimms is on the cards, but 'pork on chips' will be hard But I never want to leave here We've had an ice cube fight Liz and Rob and Stefano Ian, Ken and Robyn too I wish I had nothing to do tomorrow I'd drink tequila without any sorrow I will drink some beer, just while we are sitting here I will wrap my hands around it I know it will be fine We've got a karaoke bar We didn't get wet, we didn't dare Our aspirations, are wrapped up in booze Our inclinations are guided by Chu Summer's hastening on I'm trying to get weather that isn't so shitty But I've been incapable I've been playing air hockey We won on Millionaire We didn't get wet, we didn't dare Our aspirations, are wrapped up in booze Our inclinations are guided by Chu [repeat] Er yeah. It might have been better if I'd actually remembered how the tune went. But anyway, any Sinister picnic where you win £6, eat Liz's scones, and have a Canadian for a whole afternoon goes down as a success in my book. It was also a bonus to have the lovely Ian and Stefano as guests, since it gave me an excuse to go shopping all day on Sunday and prove that we do SOMETIMES get sunshine in Brighton. I'm coming up to London next time though, where there's not so much chance of being swept out to sea.

Better the the previous ones I have seen. The Copenhagen trip in general was great. What stands out is the nude 70 year old guy that streaked past me in the middle of the night. Me and my friends, drunk and all laughed our asses of until the next day. We had to poke ourselves to realize that this was true. A 70 year old man, completely naked strolling around the street. :) Chris from Sweden posted the setlist and his comments a few days ago so I wont bore you with mine but I saw alot of peeps around with their fancy digital cameras and I was wondering if some Sinister ppl had theirs with them because I really would like to have pictures from the show.

Liz and I arrived fashionably late due to Other Commitments. No-one, however, is as fashionable as the lovely Ian, who arrived immedately after us and began stalking us down the hill from the station. He didn't have CHEESE SCONES though. A brief pause in the pub with picnic mum Archel, Ken, Stefano and RobynFromCanada was followed by a drizzly trip to the pier where we sadly concluded that we're all too grown up for fairground rides - especially rub ones that you get on piers. On the other hand, there was a pub with a big screen that showed the same 5 pop videos in a loop and KARAOKE next door that you could hear in the bogs. And PIMMS in JUGS. As night fell, we retreated inland, via the chip shop, to the more pleasant environs of THE CRICKETERS PUB. Luckily, there were no actual cricketers present, leaving people free to drink, talk about the Captain Caveman and do unwise things with tequila (ie drink it). With tiredness and illness working at our systems we left fashionably early. waving goodbye to the south coast, we returned, on a soopah-fast train, to the smelly capital and the remainder of the scones.

Chu. He probably did the same, but had realised about one week before myself the fact that clocks has been shifted to the summer time. I did set my watch to the right time, but that one only, and only a few days later. But I did check the forecast and the always says showers as it should be in a real British spring. To cut a long story short, ken was already half way trough his way to the seaside when I dropped into the station and queued in at a personal loan consultancy desk before talking to a rather sweet bloke, wearing a suit which was at least one size bigger and a tie, which definitely didn’t matched with the suit, and I honestly doubt could have matched with any other suit really, but who gave me, as a surprise bargain a free return train ticket to Brighton, thing that I found absolutely app! ropriate. So I stepped into the first convoy heading south and, holding my telescope in one hand, a map on the other, pointing at the horizon in the Ahab fashion with a steady look to the Providence. That wasn’t before the compass, in very sinister way, decided to invert its polarity, that finally the Express met the Providence, and Capt. Archel and PiKeyChu, took control of the operations. After the bar was in safer hands then mine, I could stop thinking that of many whalers I’ve been in my life, and they are not many to be honest, in just a few had the remarkable habit of serving beers, but in a lot less, mariners were travelling around with electric scooters drink vodka shot. But that must have been a practice imported from some sort of Russian icebreaker. Even strangest than that, there were horse running on the main bridge, and jumping here and there, they call it the Grand National, and you are supposed to bet, but ‘frisky whisky’, or something similar, the horse I fancied, didn’t even show up at the starting line. Then the wise captains led the ship to the pier, trough the thunderstorm, where lovely Rrrrrrrrobyn was waiting, for the reduced sinister massive to berth. The piers, these days, when not affected by arsonists, which by the way, I though was quite a brilliant name for band, offers quite amusing entertainments from the past and the future, including a thing called space hockey. I think was capt. PiKeyChu who suggested to associate each of us with the teams that had reached the F.A. cup semi-finals, and to play a rematch, or a pre-match, or whatever it turned out that MILLWALL won the cup, which made me laugh hurrah for Dell boy! It was just after the final whistle that, gracious Liz & Robster and Ian joined the crew amazed (?) by fellows dancing (?) on something called, I believe, DDR, which I though only was the so called ex-east-Germany acronym, but I later understood was sort of a dancing device. Few more drinks were shed on the docks. I’d love to say a few more pints, but apparently in some north-American country there is the very depreciable tradition of serving glass only half full well, might be not half, but a few sips out of it that reminded me of too things in the southern Mediterranean see, but also in the lake’s land country of Italy have got the same, totally disputable manner, and that, in the senior common room, where alcoholic scientific official the Queen Mary crew meet, they actually adopted the very cheerful manner of filling to the top glass which are bigger then an actual pint. So it is an extra gain for our, well sweated, pennies, sir. That prompted me to the reflection that, being the typical glass not really cylindrical but rather a truncated cone section, the upper bit, of a larger-then-a-pint pint glass, contains quite a bit of precious drinking material, being the part of the glass with the larger diameter, and taken as difference with the! smaller-then-a-pint glasses, it made the comparison even more even hence, do we possibly drink 3 beers for 2 over there. Big emporiums called supermarkets does the same offer as well, I heard, but nothing better then a pint of Pimms. In a jug. It is quite well known that there are not many chances to play a good cricket game under showery weather and anyway after the tea time, so what better place to retire then the comfort of the pub? Thinks quite a few better opportunities, really, including your captain bring you tequilas and then you can embark in talks about semi-obscure, but definitely lovely, bands and wreckage in the southern seas of love. Then the time came, to head home, but that was not before, trying to convince capt. Pikeychu not to get back to the capital and to share a slice of, very delicious, onion pie, in the rather sinister company of myself, Ian, and capt. Archel, that Mr. (note the gender! Is not a typo for once) Archel prepared with his own hands: blimey! Of course the plan was to get back in the capital, as well but can anyone apart from the EVIL Mr. Chu resist a slice of home baked onion pie ion sinister company well suppose so really not me tho!

Reveal yourself!). SO! I propose a Sinister Northern Picnic, York being the ideal spot to hold such an event. And, even though I've been a lurker even within the York Sinister Massiv of late (for which I sincerely apologise), I'll be your mummy, if you like that kinda thing. Here's the plan. Feel free to tell me to change date/time etc - I'm a suggestible character. WHERE: outside the front of the Minster, York (then moving onto Museum Gardens). I reckon this is good because it's easy for non-Uni people to get to (hint: non/ex-York people very much welcome), and is in the close proximity of Nice Pubs in case it rains. WHEN: 2pm, Saturday 24th April (or Saturday wk 1 for the Uni contingent) ME: tall, lanky, glasses, a feast of delights inside my bag. Mobile 07793711306 YOU: laden with boooooze and other picnic accessories, wearing upside-down badge for ID purposes. Sound like a sound plan? Let me know. I can't really think of much to report on really. I guess we all run out of things to say eventually. I went to see Lambchop on Saturday night. They were rather gorgeous. Support was in the form of Camera Obscura, who were pretty good. Not as good as the 'chop though, for sure. I take it that a small section of this listen would have heard the last ever Mark & Lard on Friday? Belle & Sebastian were on it, singing a pastiche of Seymour Stein. I went Mark and Lard Oh how we'll miss you On Radio 1 You say you've got a promotion Our thoughts are far away We remembered the day You first played our tune And now we are minted Mark and Lard (repeat to fade) It warmed my heart, because M&L was the first place I heard B&S. The final show was generally a sad event though - I might have cried if I wasn't a) apparently incapable of doing so (nothing seems to make me cry, even when I want to, rather annoyingly) b) laughing incontrollably for the most part. Inspired by Vilkas' post, I listened to Beck's Midnite Vultures yesterday, and I was forced to conclude that it is one of my favourite records of all time. And that thought inspired me to make a list of all the records I own that would warrant five stars in the fictitious Asm Magazine. Unsurprisingly, I came up with about 80 of the little blighters. After much pointless pontificating, I managed to narrow it down to about 20, but realised what an inconsequential task I'd set myself so I gave up. Still, 20 is fair enough though, doncha think? Anyway, let me know about the picnic. love Asm.x <> ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with cool emoticons - download MSN Messenger today! http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

ONE OR MORE OF THE ABOVE EVENTS HAS ALREADY HAPPENED. PLEASE COME TO THE OTHERS. ------------------------------ anyway, here's the whole, drawn-out affair. read it, if you don't have a wall to go and bang your head against. ------------------------------- i'll keep it short, and to the point, as always. you know how succinct i am. succinct ian, they call me. which is nice of them, isn't it? yes, it is. so, no fannying around. straight to the point. as the buddha once said ' i would like to hide, high in a tree. i could be happ-ee. i could be happ-ee'. or something like that. you know all of that is strangely relevant. just not to this e-mail, or to your life in general. too much talk. get to the point. or points POINT #1 there will be a PICNIC in LONDON on SATURDAY 17TH MARCH. i think this picnic will be in GREEN PARK. this is because GREEN PARK is near BUCKINGHAM PALACE, and we might get to LOOK AT THE QUEEN whilst we are SIPPING NONCHALANTLY ON SOPHISTICATED YET EXOTIC BEVERAGES and CONSUMING AN ARRAY OF FINE FOODS. if you are not a royalist, come and THROW FOOD AT THE QUEEN, AND THE GRENADIER GUARDS. all of whom are forbidden to do anything back to you. if you are a crazy, crazy anarchist, come and SWEAR AT THE QUEEN, and laugh at her inability to stop you scoffing cakes and drinking HARD LIQUOR right under her nose. okay, look, the queen thing is a gimmick. i'm not all that bothered about her myself. i used to think she was the symbol of everything corrupt at the rotting heart of imperialism. these days, i just think she's a slightly sad old lady in an expensive frock. green park just seemed like a nice place. we could even meet somewhere completely different if you prefer. anyway, i think its in green park. maybe at 2 PM, because aren't they always? i don't know the park very well. if you do, suggest a suitable meeting place. now is your chance to shine. otherwise, i am going to suggest meeting at the palace, which probably won't be the best idea. too many people with instamatic cameras, pointing and clicking at some blokes in silly hats. POINT #2 on the NIGHT of SATURDAY 17TH MARCH, there will be TIGERMILKING. venue likely to be the betsy trotwood, but stay tuned for further details. if you have not heard of such a thing before, go HERE, and try to ignore the fact that there's no mention of saint etienne and that someone has managed to insert an 'i' into 'yo la tengo'. http://www.undermybed.org/tigermilking/ you should come. it will be many nice dancing and drinking, oh yes, such nice. which, rather neatly, brings me to POINT #3 the brighton picnic was very lovely. no beachy frolicks, sadly, as it pissed it down. apparently, this means going on the beach is not a good idea. i was a brighton virgin. now, i am a brighton-slut, eager for any bit i can get. the city is lovely, and is made even fairer by the residence within of the lovely ms Rachel Playforth. we cheered it up further with our smiles, and by the end, i'm sure i heard it crying 'stay.....stay.....linger.....' actually, come to think of it, it could have been 'gay.....gay.....minger.....' best not to ponder such things too much. others have already reported, so i'll keep mine brief. it was nice. is that too brief? archel is a true funkateer, and a fantastic hostess. ken and stefano got married, robyn educated me about london clubs and liz and rob sang quiet, secret, and achingly sad songs about the month they spent below the waves with the mermaids. the whole pub was enraptured. particularly the scampi fries. i sat quietly with my pint and muttered about my corns. there was more, but some of it must remain secret. POINT #4 i'm sure there were other things i wanted to discuss. i can't remember what they were. i haven't blasphemed yet, or whispered naughty thoughts in your ear, but they can wait until the next post. hell, there were loads of things i should have done tonight. i haven't done any of them. now would be the ideal time to start. right now. no more fannying around. i'll go to skye on my hol-i-dee i could be happy i could be happy that's what the buddha said. and i wholeheartedly agree. he didn't fuck about, the buddha. utterly fuck-free. what a guy. xx ian ps. DON GILMOUR - I'[VE LOST YOUR ADDRESS, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH! it aint urgent, or anything, but the WEST MIDLANDS SINISTER MASSIVE must stay strong. only this way can we defeat those york-ist bleeders. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Plus more!) Message-ID: Hello 45 yr olds! How's life on the slow lane? Hope the zimmer frames are rusty as usual! MUSIC'S INFILTRATION OF SNOOKER Being old men, I'm sure you guys have all been watching the prestigious snooker "Daily record Players Championship" that is on SkySports 3? Or even LIVE at the SECCCCCC in Glasgow? STEVE DAVIS played today, you know, haha the old nugget. Did you know who he played??? The up and coming snooker talent.... you've guessed it... it was...

DAVID GRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! versus IAN McCOLLOCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahahahhaha holy crap! I'm rooting for David Gray I think. Babylonnn Babylonnnn . urg. Check this site to keep track of the scores of this exciting tournament! http://worldsnooker.com/snooker_media_centre/players04/stats.asp ------ BRIGHTON PICNIC At this rate, this Brighton picnic is gonna be the most reported back picnic ever! Percentage-wise at least. It was so much fun - haha there was even two girls LEZZING UP action in the toilet on the train down (although probably that's not a first for sinister picnics, mind, hahaha). Plus there was the aforementioned RECREATION OF THE FA CUP SEMI-FINAL AND PREDICTION OF THE FA CUP FINAL RESULTS through the medium of AIR HOCKEY! The results table was a bit like this Semi Final -------------- MAN UTD 5 (chu 12,15,16,68,79) ARSENAL 7 (fadden 11, 24,37,69 chu o.g. 52,57, 59) MILLWALL 5 (santabarbara 12,15,27,36,69) SUNDERLAND 3 (playforth 34, 67, 89) Final ------ MILLWALL 5 (santabarbara 24,35,46,57,78) ARSENAL 4 (fadden 12,27,38,59) Winner: Millwall Those who've missed it I hope you can understand what you've missed out!!! This picnic also might win for the VARIETY of drinks consumed, yeah lager bitter guinness baileys tequila whiskey and pimms had all been consumed!! After the picnic some of the WIMPY ONES went to sleep early, in either London or Brighton. Whereas the HARD CORE ones went back to London for DANCING, and the REALLY HARD CORE ones caught the LAST TRAIN just in time back to London for DANCING after stupid amounts of Tequila. Yeah that was me I rock!!!

Wow... Thats all I could say yesterday after the last song... I just didn't knew what to say! (and thats quite strange for me...) It was really really great! Stuart was terrific, Sarah too and the rest, wow! this was my forst show live and I didn't knew they were so good. In the train back we tried to remember all the songs they play but well... I always forget the titles, ecerything fades away and theres just me and the band... so I'll try to remember but... Mark- maybe you can help? here's a list of what I remember.. - I'm a cuckoo - step into my office (wow!) - if you find yourself caught in love(jeeej!) - baby girl - you don't send me - stay loose - dirty dream part 2 - asleep on a sunbeam well... It was just great. I don't know how to discribe it... they even got 5 fans on stage to play with them. I was standing front (only one guy for me..) but when they asked for some volunteers I was just so shy... oh and they did good vibrations from the beach boys! how good is that?! the audience was great. everyone was quite with the slow songs and just started dancing with the fast ones. well.. did I allready mentioned that it was fantastic? Too bad we didn't made it to the afterparty, we had to take the train. (mark, how was it??) (I finally met an other sinister, there are only two of us in holland...) and worst of all, I had an exam this morning... :S but that doesnt matter because... ...I think I'm in love... with belle & sebastian. thank you guys (and girls ;)) you are great!! with a lot of love, imke enjoy the sun that shines right upon your face! *:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_, *:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_, +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <001d01c41bf3$b0db9540$6701a8c0@maaike> Right. Some de-lurking is in order, I guess: Imke, there are at least 3 sinister people in The Netherlands! Me being number 3, of course. So - reporting back. Ok. I went to the Utrecht gig as well, and great it was indeed! About 2 years ago B&S played in Rotterdam, which was terribly good, too, but I liked them even better this time. More relaxed, perhaps, more at ease with the audience and I have to say I didn't really miss Isobel. They had brought some (3?) extra musicians as well, which was nice, who played cello and violin and did backing vocals. And now the good news for y'all: the whole thing has been put on-line! Yay!! You can find it at: http://3voor12.vpro.nl/3voor12/archief/index.jsp?showme=concerts (the link is somewhere in the top right corner). Don't really remember the setlist either, but now you can check it out for yourselves :-) I especially loved Sleep the clock around, which was the last song they played. I also missed the afterparty, as I had to catch the last train home. After that came 5 days of moving/redecorating stress... but that's another story... :-) Maaike +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I was kind of there for the laugh, really, but B&S were playing so I thought I'd go along. I might some B&S fans from the internet, some of whom may have links to this parish, but in the main I think they were *left-footers*. B&S were playing in some place called the Columbiahalle, which is near the Tempelhof airport into which the friendly Americans flew in loads of nosh during the Berlin airlift. These days food is in more plentiful supply in Berlin - you could even buy it in the venue. Winner. Did any of you read that Onion article a while back about how some guy spoiled a gig for everyone by enjoying himself? There were elements of that kind of things at this concert. The Berlin crowd were in general somewhat unappreciative and possessed of a worrying territoriality - I think people there do not go to the bar for drinks and then return to where they were standing, for instance, and going to the toilet and trying to push back up the front is seen as distinctly uncool. Fortunately I played my foreign idiot card and barged past people muttering "Lass mich passieren, ich bin das Schmutzpfarrer!" (German for "Out of my way, nadface"). The band themselves seemed a bit slow to start, maybe because of the overly polite nature of the crowd, but they soon picked up. So did the crowd, who gradually became a bit more up for it. My own boisterousness attracted a few fellow enjoyers to my vicinity, and we bopped away like nobody's business. At one stage some of these fellows even started moshing (to 'Get Me Away >From Here, I'm Dying', I think); that was maybe going a bit too far. A lot of tunes from DCW were aired, reminding me again of how great it is. Near the end of the night they delighted me by going from 'Roy Walker' straight to 'Stay Loose', playing a storming version of this great tune, surely the 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' of our times. The more advanced elements of the crowd were suitably impressed. Rockist B&S fans, meanwhile, were catered for by a number of older tunes. Despite pleas, nothing by Die Puhdys or David Hasselhoff was aired, but they did cover David Bowie's 'Sound & Vision' as their nod to local culture. And they had a local waitress onstage to act out 'Dear Catastrophe Waitress'. If you are interested in that kind of thing, my notes say they played these songs: An Ennio Morricone-esque intro Expectations Step Into My Office Baby Wrapped Up In Books The Model I Fought In A War Beautiful The Loneliness Of A Middle Distance Runner You Don't Send Me Sound & Vision Simple Things The Boy With The Arab Strap Asleep On A Sunbeam Lord Anthony Dear Catastrophe Waitress Dirty Dream # 2 The State I Am In The Wrong Girl Roy Walker Stay Loose Sleep The Clock Around Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying Me & The Major & possibly one more that I forgot to record. That's about all I've got time for now. Maybe another short note from me will discuss my recent trip to Camber Sands for the All Tomorrows Parties festival. bless you all, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: <20040407215947.7008.qmail@web41306.mail.yahoo.com> There is Lamchop playing on Radio 2, which makes me feel like emailing people. Last week, I was sat at home feeling glum because I was about to turn 22 and all my friends had gone on hiliday and nothing exciting was happening...then two exciting things happened all at once... 1. I went to see the Station Agent, which is ace, then went for a walk near a primary school where I saw a young boy sat on the edge of the football field wearing a traffic cone on his head...until two bolshie young ladies ran up to him, ripped it off his head and sneered. Our hero promptly picked it up, popped it back on and calmly continued to pretend to be a wizard. But that wasn't the exciting thing (although I also saw a Red Admiral which was pretty cool...) What happened was this..I was feeling nostalgic about college, a time when I felt vaguely clever and had an idea of what to do with my life, and remembered a moment during my final year, in the autumn. A lot of bad things happened then, which I can't be bothered to explain, but suffice to say I was listening to Jeff Buckley a lot and certainly not enough Echo and the Bunnymen. I bumped into a vague person, who I knew from being the only othe r indie person in my school and as far as I knew back then, maybe even the world, but somehow we didn't become friends. Unfortunately, I bumped into him while crying on a bench in the beer gardenn, and he kindly chatted to me for a while, telling me I shouldn't be upset and giving me good advice which I've forgotten now :) as well as slagging off the music industry. So I was vaguely (I'm very vague at the moment)wondering what happened to him, when I opened the local paper and saw an article about a student who was going to Africa for an education mission...and it was the same young man. So I'm thinking about the serendipity and wondering whether to drop him a note thanking him for being so nice on a night he probably doesn't remember... 2. I filled out a job application out of boredom and unemploymentm, anbd they contacted me the next day to go down to London for an interview...not only is this A Sign, but also means I get to go to9 another city for a few days, which is my patented cure for the mean reds...I would've done it months ago had I anyone to visit :) So I shall have to leave behind my Cheers watching, writing my Rubbish Novel and general mooching and go and tell some stranger why I'm so great. Anbd as I haven't been there for a while, I also plan to wear interesting hats and look round art galleries and Foyles. Hurrah! Suddenly, the whole world is opening up like a beautiful vagina.... ...hey, if Woody can say it, so can I. -gillian (www.livejournal.com/users/~mippy) ===== _________________________ 'i have a tendency to say hey do you remember that moment we shared in 1988,that was great, hey! 1988 was great'-milky wimpshake, yeah, it's true ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Archel cabin. It was the sign of a calm day of sunlight over the rocky Brighton shore. The perfect day to discover the treasure of the sinister crew. We had maps, we had colourful rocks, and we had tarots and coffee bottoms, to read. Just, how? Well, doesn’t really matter. Anyway, there was no clear indication on any of them, for as far as I was concerned, of where the rusty coffin full of shiny golden coins (?) was hidden we walked down the street all the morning, here and there, looking for better jackets, space age souvenirs, sixties cheesy music and finally we got into a sort of place loaded with STUFF, covered in two inches of dust, which made it possibly even more fashionable in its out-of-fashion scenario: talking about typewriter (wow!), super 8 video (double wow), robot-head shaped TV and radio (classy) and gramophones ( cheesy) isn’t that, all in all, a fortune of war which would have make Ali Baba’ and the other forty good fellow he used to hang around with, pretty much envy? I’d say so. After having shared the silver in between the four of us, waved goodbye Ms. and Mr. Archel, and embarking on a journey back to our homes and wives (??????), we, and for that I mean myself and the pleasant company of Mr. Ascombe, decided to have a picnic, yep, another one, just by the seashore it sounds so much as a good plan. The sun was shining and wind was blowing and waves were high on the peers. There was enough food and a barrel of rum in the hold, but then the unpredictable happened I’ve lost oh so many things in my life, glasses, shoes, umbrellas, books, records, jumpers, coats, I’ve lost my love and I’ve lost my pride, but, never before has happen I’ve lost my booze!!! I suppose that only the combination of Mr. Ascombe and me could have result in such a conspicuous disaster. Mind he is organising a picnic this week It once happened to get to midlands and sinisterly enough we manage to loose or destroy in between the two of us two cameras, a phone and a cd player something else I forgot well, might be destroy is a bit of a rock’n’roll act, really we flooded them in Ribena juice: nice. I only fell asleep on the bus though we all know that running of city buses for a hobby is rather sad. Hence, look after your goods when he’s around, BUT he is one of the most lovely people I’ve ever met, and it was at a magic roundabout in green park before Belle and Sebastian played the Brighton academy. I’ve met a lot of lovely people actually on that occasion, some of them I love more then I can tell, and it was the first time I’ve ever seen B&S play, was it just a coincidence? (is it any sort of content? I’m amazed) well, it was just a long sentence to say come and meet us in the park, it might be loads of fun, and the spring has much definitely bloomed a! nd Ian is coming all the way down from Birmigham, do you want to leave hinm alone in the park with myself??? That would be rather sinister! And I don’t know what to add more Hope you all are well and have had a nice time over Easter (about myself I drunk more beer then Brian Lara scored runs, is it a world record? Too many questions?) love stefano #~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~# When you sleep do you see an angel in dying light Or can you see someone standing outside trying to set you alight Or maybe you've seen someone somewhere before that I might have loved if i'd never loved you but you only see me in bad dreams +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

It�s my second chance to do New Year�s resolutions as it�s the first day of the Bengali calendar. I�ve been extremely bad and not written an update for more than two months ! Needless to say I�ve been enjoying my life too much to sit down and write about it. Thanks to those of you who ask questions about my travelogues. Johan � feel free to get in touch. I�m enjoying hearing about your tales of gigs and picnics. I still feel very sorry for Mark O who is going to be coming back from San Francisco the day before B & S play. Big Stu � come on we want to hear more travel tales. I can�t get around Asia at the moment (bloody immigration) so you can at least make me jealous. Siniglasto has been quiet what�s happening? I know I won�t be in attendance as I�ll be in Bangladesh still (unless immigration chuck me out of the country) but it�s interesting for me to hear what�s going on. I still get to go to festivals, but on a smaller scale. Think of the more folky stages at Glasto. I go to things like that but with Baul music (Bangladeshi folk) with way more tabla and sitar etc. Quite recently some fellow volunteers got to share a bit of folk UK style with millions of Bangladeshis singing, playing harmonica and acoustic guitar on BTV � Bangladesh Television. Plus they got to say a bit about why they�re volunteering etc. it was all very exciting for our little community out here. Well in terms of content I�ve managed to get my copy of I�m A Cuckoo � I�m with the preferring some of the B-sides crew. At long last the DVD has arrived so I now know what all the fuss has been about. The Asian branch of HBO has been showing Storytelling but always at times when only insomniacs are awake. I know everyone had mixed opinions about the film (and I�m not terribly keen on the soundtrack) but I�m one of these people that likes to see things for myself. Yes, I�m very behind in films, books and music at the moment. My excuse is that I just wanted to go outside more. On to the travelogue then� Warning � you may need to read it a bit at a time � it�s quite long! EID IN LALMONIHRAT So where did I leave off � ah yes the Muslim festival of Eid-Ul-Asha. Well I quickly followed up my weekend up in the North-West of Bangladesh, mainly in Lalmonihrat (to visit my boyfriend Stuart*) and Rangpur with a whole week for the Eid festival. Lalmonihrat district is considered to be the poorest district in Bangladesh. I have only really been in the town area, which has a nice relaxed atmosphere typical of a pretty rural town. Poverty is not as apparent as it is in some areas of Dhaka city but the undertones are that it is present. The place is only about 7km from the Indian border - walking distance and everything but my visa situation is still preventing me from leaving Bangladesh at the moment. In Eid-Ul-Asha animal slaughtering is involved (as opposed to the fasting of Eid-Ul-Fitr). As people of many dispositions read these updates I am going to err on the side of caution and not go into too much detail. I can provide more info. to those who are interested. With Islam being the majority religion in Bangladesh the festivals are so much more visible here than in the UK. Eid-Ul-Asha obviously goes on back in the UK but in a more discrete fashion - in remote gardens rather than the side of the street etc. This week also marked the start of a big Mela (fair) in the town. I'd forgotten how much fun simple Ferris wheel type rides could be. I met a lot of interesting people during the week including some of Stuart�s students � they were such characters. It�s always nice to meet people with hopes and dreams. The district commissioner was wandering around the mela and we got talking to him. He had a lot of ideas of how he wanted Bangladesh to improve and seemed genuine. Hopefully he�ll make the most of his political position to make a change for the better. * Some of you already know about Stu. I�ll share this with Sinister because it�s a good tale of being brave. We�ve been going out since the New Year � although it turned out that we had both fancied each other since we first met at the beginning of October. He�s an American Peace Corps volunteer teaching English and basic computer skills to young adults and he quite simply rocks. It�s silly that we waited so long to get together even though we were hanging out together a lot. A typical tale � two very confident people in all aspects of life except the part where you � ASK PEOPLE OUT. A result of emotional turmoil over the years it�s really something I should get over. So for my first New Year�s resolution of the year I decided to go for it. It was all planned to be done gracefully but me being me I ended up blurting it out awkwardly � but hey it got done and had the desired effect. One of us had to do it and I couldn�t take waiting for him to do it any longer. We�re quite similar in lots of ways but with the right amount of ying to yang in things to make it work. MOTHER LANGUAGE DAY � 21ST FEBRUARY A true celebration of the joy of Bangla � as I'm not supposed to go to major events because of crowd security I had to miss the ritual of walking barefoot up to the mother language monument. The Ekushey language celebrations go on for a good month � with extra special Bangla language book fairs and film festivals. For the day itself I went running with the hash harriers close to a different monument� Due to festivities going on elsewhere the Martyred Intellectuals Memorial was relatively quiet. This memorial remembers the victims of the night when Pakistani forces went down to Dhaka University (25th March � day before independence for Bangladesh) and killed a whole generation of brainy people. A simple, but effective structure, this is just outside the city near Mohammadpur, which is the area of Dhaka I work in. It was great to explore the rural parts of my area of town. SYLHET AREA March got off to a good start with the VSO Bangladesh volunteer's conference held in Sylhet (as I've mentioned before in the North-East of the country). For those of you that don�t know most Bangladeshis that are now resident in Britain are from this region. This has a lot to do with the history of the cargo industry. It�s very easy to dig out information on the subject � as I managed to do before I came out here (too much to type down though). The theme of the conference was Celebrating Diversity. An all encompassing title reflecting the cultures of the volunteers and their partners � from Holland, Scotland, Kenya, Uganda, Philippines, England, Wales and Norway. Reflecting the different communities of Bangladesh; religions, tribes etc. Plus of course just reflecting the sheer diversity of individuals. There were more than 50 people there. The vast majority of volunteers and programme office staff were present together. It was a great time for sharing and lots of workshop activities were crammed in to the few days (too much to mention). One of the best learning parts for me was the disability workshop. Mainstreaming disability issues in development is an area that I definitely needed to learn more about. Lippi, a young disabled Bangladeshi woman (one of the very few that lives independently out here) was a very enigmatic speaker. The participatory workshops involved were also great. Although I have given many presentations the conference also played host to me running my FIRST EVER workshop! I felt it was very important to include global education in the programme. I was very pleased as I felt it went well and that my message of how important a role volunteers can play in raising awareness of their home country in Bangladesh�. and�.vice versa. It�s true to say that when I was growing up all I knew about the country was natural disasters and poverty. There are many other sides to the country. I do hope that the culmination of my travelogues will give you that impression. We did have an afternoon off to do some sightseeing. I went on a trip to Jaflong with some of the gang where we took in the beautiful hills and visited an under-river stone quarry. These stones are brought down from the hills by the monsoon so with all the weathering they�re all beautifully rounded. It was nice to finally see the place my local restaurant (when at uni in Shef) is called. A few km down the road and we were at another Indian border crossing � still couldn�t go over. On the way back we stopped off at Haripur where there is this rather bizarre lake. There are open gas fault lines underneath the water so you get natural gas bubbling through the water. No sparks please! We actually stayed at the Parjatan hotel (Bangladeshi Government Tourist Board) surrounded by lots of pretty posters saying things like �Visit Bangladesh before Tourists Do�. If only they managed to gear themselves up to get people to come. They certainly need to do some work with immigration if this is ever going to happen. It really frustrates me as there are a lot of beautiful areas in this country but people overseas don�t really know about them. Not only are the posters pretty but when I first arrived on placement a colleague showed me a video that the Parjatan made to encourage visitors. It was great � if only it got distributed!!!!! Gah! As a token of appreciation for helping organise the conference the volunteers clubbed together and bought me some lovely Monipuri fabric to make into a new shalwaar kameez. The Monipuri are one of the tribes of the ethnic communities in Bangladesh. Some representatives from the Monipuri community in Sylhet came to give a talk followed by a cultural evening. Sadly, I had to miss this as I needed to go and sort out some urgent conference business that had come up. All is not lost though. I�ve got the contact details from the Monipuri people that came � they do cultural events fairly regularly so I plan to head back up to Sylhet to catch one of these. In a major bout of coincidence the area of Dhaka city I live in is known as Monipuripara � Village of the Monipuri People. So there you have it. Another major reason I�m cursing having to leave that evening (although when organising events these thing happen) is for a workshop Rob and Ian were putting on. These are two other VSO volunteers who are currently based in the Chittagong Hill Tracts. Rob in Bandarban and Ian in Rangamati respectively. They wanted to share their learning of the tribes of the area. They decided to do this through a big team game with quiz questions so that everyone could learn more. They had made me Chief of one of the tribes but they had to get another woman to fill my place. That is one of the interesting things for me � many of the tribes such as the Garos don�t follow a patriarchal structure but more of a matriarchal one where females have a say in decision making along with men. In some cases they actually have more power with inheritance goods returning to the Motherhood. I really want to go into this subject further at some point but I�ll cut is short for the moment. The current advice is not to travel in the area but I�ve got all bodily parts crossed that the ban will be lifted soon. I really want to go so I can experience the different cultures and explore the beautiful areas � hey it is reason I brought my hiking boots out with me after all. SILVERWARE When I was busy at the conference the important business of the Carling Cup final was underway. I didn�t really feel it was appropriate for me to go into Sylhet to find cable TV showing the match and in fact I didn�t find out the great news until several days after the event. Up the Boro�! I�m still really pleased - Middlesbrough Football Club�s first bit of silverware. The pictures on the BBC and my local paper�s website looked great. Plus of course I had friends sending me their pictures and stories too. Big thanks must also go to our very own Irish Boro fan - Simon Fallaha (I shall write soon). My dad (amongst others) went to see the victory bus drive through town. Shame I couldn�t join the party but then again I�m having my own out here. SRIMONGAL So on through to mid-March and back up to the North-East region of Bangladesh to the lovely Srimongal. I went away for a long weekend with the Dhaka Hash House Harriers for some walking, running and general festivities. We stayed at the DFID guest house which I�m sad to say closed its doors at the end of March. It was a very pretty place to stay as well. I saved this trip (rather than going in Sylhet) to be my first time to go into tea gardens. It�s always interesting to go and see where produce comes from. Miles of tea plants in rows are pretty astounding to look at. It would be wise to not be completely deceived from their beauty � if you get scratched by one when you�re running past it hurts � ouch! >From now on every time I have a cuppa I�ll always think of how beautiful the Srimongal area is. Of course on a more serious note there are lots of trade issues to consider when thinking about tea production and I will hopefully get to go through a little Tea Trade Game with peeps when I get back to the UK. Hey it�s better than you simply reading my drivel � trust me. QUALITY WORK Work is improving in leaps and bounds. It looks like the water and sanitation for disabled people work I�ve been pushing for is going to be taken on fully by my organisation. The staff gender policy I�ve been working on is starting to be put into practice. .. Another exciting thing for me was to get to go back out into the field � yey! I was part of the technical team getting training on water quality testing in the slum areas. As I�ve been in the office a lot recently this was great for me. It looks like I�m going to get my newly acquired skills into more practice over the coming months. THE BENCHMARK Many other things have gone on both at work and play but that should be enough reading for you to get through for now. Just for the record I have recently gone past the halfway mark of my placement. Six months has just flown by. I�m now at the stage of trying to get a job to go onto. I need to get some industrial engineering experience under my belt before my degree is deemed to go stale so I�m applying for environmental jobs � particularly in the water/wastewater sector. Many hours are spent filling out online forms. Please email me to give me a break from these efforts! Hopefully there will be a few job interviews to go back home to. Don�t worry I will still make lots of time to do more global education activities after I finish in Bangladesh. To start with I�ve got enough photographs to do some exhibitions � visual aids for my updates would clog up your email inboxes. Besides I want to give the whole picture of Bangladesh (as best I can) so it will be better when I select and present images after leaving. I do have piccys on an Ofoto website but only a few friends and family can have access to it. Regardless, the images will look better for all when they�re blown up larger. I�ve got many other plans for workshops and activities. There�s no point in me being here if I�m not going to share things. Normal service of regular monthly updates should resume now so expect something in the first week of May... �Amy _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.

References: Message-ID: <007a01c42260$0f59ba80$cb4d883e@IanandJim> (brief summary - mentions picnic. at length. plugs tigermilking, replies to some posts on list. not many, though. doesn't mention belle and sebastian except in passing. passing what? who knows?? read it anyway. go on, i dare you!) hello there my little mangos of joy, i do hope you're all feeling lovely, and beautiful and more splendidly funky than you ever thought you could. phew, that's an introduction done. quite a nice one. and i didn't say 'bastardbum', 'titwobble' or 'arsecheese' once. which is a good start. belle and sebastian fans get a little bit sad, slightly teary-eyed, misty and dewey (not like the decimal system) and rather itchy-skinned when they hear swearing, its a documented fact* and i don't want your flakey scalp near me, frankly. so, just niceness, then.. i am wondering whether to try and say something relevant that you'll all like, or whether just to say what i wanted to say. perhaps the latter. yes, definitely the latter: there will be a PICNIC in london this weekend. on saturday. at 2 p.m. in the lovely GREEN PARK. i am currently trying to look at a map of GREEN PARK to find somewhere nice to meet. it is taking a bloody long time to load, and i am wondering if i made a mistake picking this venue. i thought there were LOADS of maps on the interweb, but apparently not. type in 'map, green park', and you get THIS sort of nonsense: http://www.green-park.co.uk/map.html personally, i've never seen a flying robot there, so i suspect trickery is afoot. but then, i've only been a couple of times. and i'm not a REAL londonista. perhaps you need to be from london to understand about flying robots. perhaps its one of those things that people understand more the further south you get. like driving range-rovers and not picking your nose. anyway, looking at the REAL map, http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=529250&y=180250&z=1&sv=529250,180250&st=4&ar=N&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf&dn=794, i notice that there are lots of nice things in the park. some of these being spencer ho (presumably, this is spencer from eastenders. i didn't know he was a ho. i wonder how much he costs?), queen victoria, wellington arch, and JAPAN. i'm tempted to suggest we meet in JAPAN, but then that might cause confusion, what with me not knowing any japanese and such. so how about we gather near the tube station, and those that want to can go off and look for spencer ho later? if you're coming, and scared of my crappy organisation, or want to come late, or don't know anyone and are worried about not finding us, mail me off-list and i'll send you my mobile number. stefano has suggested we have an EVENT at the picnic. he was muttering about football. football isn't one of my Marvellous Things, but by all means play it if you wish. thoughts i had included: a DISCO! we all wear flares and tank-tops (not much change there then) and errr... no that's a crap idea. a ROLLER DISCO! we all wear roller skates, fall over and break our necks. a ROLLER DISCO ON ICE! if we can find some a ROLLER DISCO ON ICE WITH CAMELS! camels love roller-discos. throwing STONES AT FLYING ROBOTS! an imaginary birthday party for the 17th April Child Of Sinister. errr...just eating cakes. maybe i'll bring a frisbee. and have you got a little tape player, anyone?? i'm going with the birthday party. bring a balloon, and one of those hooter-y whistle things. and a pass the parcel. and...bring that tape player if you have one.. god, this is probably the longest e-mail on such a subject ever. some people would just say 'we're having a picnic. turn up. or else' why does everything have to be an essay ian as the buddha once said: 'why do you have to go and make everything so complicated?' he was a wise man. didn't fuck about. after the PICNIC, there will be TIGERMILKING at the BETSY TROTWOOD near FARRINGDON TUBE. its pretty easy to find, but mail me or stefano for instructions if you haven't been there before. there will be nice tunes by the likes of...oooh...i dunno... belle and sebastian, maybe; camera obscura; aislers set; shonen KNIFE; sleater-kinney; slipknot; you know how it goes. the more the world is changing, the more it stays the same. krishna said that, yknow. in his latest reincarnation. as cilla black. so, come to both. have very much loveliness. -------------------------------------------- onto the bit where some acknowledgement that other people post on this list is appropriate... it was lovely to see the return of the Fragrant Princess Honey to these parts... very sad to hear of poorly pets. is there anything you can do for an enlarged heart? stefano reported back on brighton: *I've lost oh so many things in my life, glasses, shoes, umbrellas, books, records, jumpers, coats, I've lost *my love and I've lost my pride, but, never before has happen I've lost my booze!!! I suppose that only the *combination of Mr. Ascombe and me could have result in such a conspicuous disa and i appear to have lost my second 'n'. never mid. i was't really attached to it. and it started me thinking of a thread-type thing.. what's the strangest thing you've ever lost? and what's the oddest lost thing you've ever found? answers (not one-liners, that'll get me in trouble...) on the back of an e-mail to.... nice reporting-back, though, stefano.. speaking of which, is someone going to report back from atp?? the rest of you said nice things too. some of you said very brief things. i hear shortness is the new longness, but we want to know MORE about you than just your club-night, and your e-mail group. we want to know the colour of your inner-child (mine is greenish pink, today); the things that make you smile (sunshine, cats, HARD SEX...) (not together) the song you sing when your mind goes dancing into the ether of wibbly-wobbliness and floats into something you weren't even sure ever existed (actually, a song might not be appropriate at such a point. change the question to something else). see? i have cleverly plugged a picnic and a club-night and you wouldn't even know i'd done it. because you stopped reading half an hour ago. actually, maybe there's something to be said for brevity. oh... BASTARDBUM, TITWOBBLE AND ARSECHEESE!! sayonara, my twinkles, xx ian * from 'ian's book of BELLE AND SEBASTIAN FACTS'. more of which later, no doubt. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Message-ID: i don't know if ian being the insightful man (especially when i confide in him so he doesn't have to be) is setting me up on this, but in answer to his question: "and what's the oddest lost thing you've ever found?" i can but offer the lyrics to the rather lovely jam ballad, "English Rose" which of course I'm going to type out for you and not just google "jam lyrics english rose ". really. so errors are all my transcription and not some random lyrics website. looks ok to me though. and no it's not the song i lost (well possibly from my consciousness but never from my sub.) It's the meaning see. it's all in the song: No matter where I roam I will come back to my English rose For no bonds can ever tempt me from she I've sailed the seven seas, Flown the whole blue sky. But I've returned with haste to where my Love does lie. No matter where I go I will come back to my English Rose For nothing can ever tempt me from she. I've searched the secret mists - I've climbed the highest peaks Caught the wild wind home To hear her soft voice speak No matter where I roam I will come back to my English Rose For no bonds can ever keep me from she. I've been to ancient worlds I've scoured the whole universe And caught the first train home To be at her side. No matter where I go I will return to my English Rose For no bonds, nothing and no-one can ever keep me from she So, if you happen to know my inner psyche, which fair enough you don't as I'm only just getting on the closest terms we have managed so far, you might conclude i've had a universe-rearranging time and my paradigms have shifted or something. Either way she is yet to be inducted into the world of B&S beyond me telling her "String Bean Jean is very small, 7-8 years old" [Fact] and that yes she passed the Nick Drake test [a little sad that i may have invented it as a joke, but again the F word applies], and as she likes him, she should like them. i think she has some idea i am a not very good (cause i don't come here often enough) interweb B&S nerdle. That's right someone *might* be coming to the picnic who doesn't know B&S. so no pointing or feeding with slightly mouldy sunblest bread. (#'the children call him Bogey# - remember that any lyric spotters i loved that song but don't tell anyone i still know all the words). talk to her supernice and she'll respond in mandarin. rather than by throwing mandarin oranges at you. i hope. You following this? no, well never mind. come to the picnic on saturday as detailed by Ian Annsummers in the proceeding post http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/latest/msg00031.html and tigermilking EIGHT PM TILL ONE AM IAN YOU SHOULD KNOW BY NOW and it'll all make sense. http://www.undermybed.org/tigermilking/ and YOU might be doing your virgin dj set at the next tigermilking* well maybe if you've supported a couple of these events. that's how it works see. we all get to play at being cool :) and then give the badge back at the end of the night as it is really rather heavy and onerous, and realise we're actually very happy just being how/who we are thanyouverymuchandgoodnight. except we're djs too now! woopeee. erm sorry. with metta Jim x (who actually doesn't wear any (or own any decent) purple trousers whatsoever at the moment but is well up for any insightful tips form london shopping fashionistas out there) *unless you live a long way away in which case i owe you an apology and possibly a pint as long as you don't all turn up at once. or at all in fact. apart from a couple of you. PS i need football it is officially good for my health. i once got a postcard from Japan a dear friend telling me so. she was right. I don't have one and may not get chance to get one. can anyone provide? i need football. And ian can make up utterly embarrassing stories about me when I'm playing, which i think he'd be rather good at. there's your challenge lad. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

Imagine chickens on springs! Tied to their skinny stick-legs, haha they'd all be like bouncing up and down and have lots and lots of fun like the whole world is a bouncy castle! Until somebody starts to cry Fowl Play. I think chickens are one of my favourite things. When they're wee they're these tiny little yellow furry thing and they cluck around and eat bits of seed and rice, and they run around sometimes but not so fast that you can't catch them. We used to have wee chickens as a pet in our house in a 16th floor flat, but one day one of them committed suicide by jumping out the window... it was quite traumatising! And then when chickens grow up they turn into these ugly cocky bastards, sounds like a bad thing but NO because NOW YOU GET TO EAT THEM!!!! Yummy. BELLE AND SEBASTIAN CHICKEN Apparently, there was this one time, Belle and Sebastian went to New York and they were having the time of their lives - shopping, playing football in central park, getting drunk on long island iced tea - so much fun. So towards the end of their trip, they celebrated the good time by having a feast! The dinner party was all fun and games, stuart joked about isobel filling her fat base with different kinds of cake, she was a bit bummed about that but she really just turned the other cheek, and they sang all their songs and everything before the main course arrived - a gigantic chicken!! The chicken looked so tasty, but just as Stuart started to cut up the chicken, one of them started saying how everyone needs to get an equal portion, otherwise it's just not fair. And the whole band got into a huge row!!! They all argued about how the chicken should be cut up. Stuart wanted everyone to have exactly the same amount of each bit, so each person would have 2/8 of a chicken leg and 1/8 of the chicken torso etc. But that involved too much maths, and they'd rather have some poetry and music and laughs. Mick suggested that whatever bodypart that each person has out of the whole group should have the chicken's counterpart of that bodypart.. Isobel disagreed, and Stuart David commented that he should have the whole thing as he obviously had the biggest cock. The argument went on til the twilight hours and Sarah got fed up and threw the chicken into a blender and everybody got an equal portion of cold, greasy minced chicken. It was a sad end really to a great trip. Stevie later wrote a song about it - it's actually on track 10 on TWATTYBUS! MILKING TIGER LACTATING CHICKEN Have you guys heard about this Tigermilking club that's happening this Saturday night at the Betsey Trotwood?? Starting at 8pm - You get to DANCE WHILE KEN CHU DJs!!!! Holy shit. I hope my DJing will be good enough to make you all come. Will you be coming? Good question. Ken P.S. has any of you ever sung that Heaven 17 tune "Temptation" but changed the word to "Lactation"? It's really fun. ********************************************************************** This email is confidential and intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

Have been on the list for a month or two now but have been too shy to talk. Am currently very jealous of anyone going to picnics or music festivals. Especialy music festivals with Belle and Seb or Moz. So envious. This is a point where I consider quitting A-levels to go to Glastonbury then realise I can't as the tickets have sold out(duh!) So I'm just waiting for the next time they come back here, home to Sheffield. (Yes i know another Sheffielder!) But they were so good in December! Much fun... Am too shy to talk to the other Sini's here even, so will just hang out with my crazy mates and drive the bf insane with constant song lyric quoting. Heh heh heh. Still trying introduce him to Belle and Seb this has not been succesfull so far but have introduced him to the Smiths so not all is bad! Now-days the loyalties are a little split between B&S and the Smiths but i think I love them both equally. Although due to the fact wrapped up in books and expectations say more about life at the moment and they are still together B&S win by default. Will irritate the dj unintentionally next offbeat and request lots of B&S at the smiths night, much like any other Offbeat I suppose. I guess you don't really want to know about Offbeat though so I'll end that strand, there are plenty of other people who'd love to do that anyway. The sky is all grey here and it's a few months before I finish college for good and face the big wide world. Then all I want to do is the same thing as last year, spend the summer wasting listening to Belle and Sebastian Cd's. Always fun but this year I must work. And go on Holiday over the leeds Festival weekend. (Not fair Moz is playing!) So I'm thinking maybe in May or June if the sun makes an apperance the Sheffield Sini's can meet up in Town and go to a park say Eccelsal or Botanical Gardens for cake, kite flying and frisbee with lots of Belle and seb music playing as the soundtrack. You guys can be all knowledgeable and I'll nodd whilst you talk about music. Actually maybe that's a bad idea... Well consider it and I'll try and get over the shyness. Or all the Sini's in Britain could meet up in Scarbrough that would ! be great! Make the place more interesting I know some folks there who'd love you all to pop by! Anyway enough of this frivolity. I guess I haven't added enough content and picnic daydreaming is bad out loud or on e-mail. Oh well. Have fun out there guys and galls! Bye! C P.s. I don't think I ever lost anything that odd but I did once leave a pair of headphones on a plane and never got them back. Now that was irritating. (I was going to go for the cliched my mind but I think you'll have guessed that already!) P.s.s. I don't think all the Sini's are 45 are they? I think I'm the youngest around here (Sheffield) being 17 Although I'm glad that there are other Belle and Seb fans my age as I only know older folk who like them.) But that will change in a few months. (Yay!) Still it's nearly three years since I first fell for Belle and Seb! Wow. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

"Anyone would think," she sniffed, "that there was a conflagration in the building." Professor Hester adjusted his deer-stalker hat and nodded in grave agreement. The cause of their frustration was his assistant, Dr. Healey, who was fast becoming a dot on the horizon, if indeed underground railway stations could be said to have horizons. Once they had caught up with him, it became obvious that he was simply looking forward to the evening's festivities. But Professor Hester was worried, for two reasons. He was concerned that his status as the capital's premier solver of crimes and mysteries was being usurped by an upstart who had the audacity to copy him - he dressed the same way and smoked the same brand of tobacco in his pipe. Apparently this person lived in the street outside this very railway station - at #221B if he recalled correctly. The professor was also concerned that he would not be able to work the confounded contraption which was to provide tonight's musical entertainment. A man across the sea known as the Wizard of Menloe Park had designed it....apparently it was the first one to be imported to England. It was supposed to be very special....one inserted little silver disks and lo! - music came out. But the Professor knew that there was more to it than that - for he had seen a line drawing of the device in the Illustrated London News. It had numerous knobs and switches that had to be twiddled at the appropriate moment - enough to tax the keenest mind. The professor was particularly anxious not to disappoint a visitor from one of the colonies - a mysterious land of ice and snow. Eventually the party completed its journey to Farringdon and emerged into a thick fog. A hansom drew up and they all climbed in. "The Bestey Trotwood Tavern, and be quick about it!" barked a young man to the driver. "Who is this young upstart?" wondered the professor. The man in question must have known what was on his mind, for immediately he doffed his hat and introduced himself. "Master Anscombe at your service, sir". "Oh," said the professor, "and what do you do for a living?" "I am a Super Hero, sir", replied Anscombe. "Really....what precisely does that entail?" Hester asked. "I am an Acquirer of Books, sir. For a library", came the reply. Immediately an uncharacteristically wide smile spread across the professor's face. "Well, in that case, you are indeed a Super Hero, for books bring knowledge and what does knowledge bring?" - Hester glanced penetratingly in Healey's direction. "Brains sir" Healey replied (somewhat wearily, having been asked the question on numerous occasions). "Precisely!" said the professor, a trifle too loudly, causing Lady Playforth to wince and cover her ears. Right now, Hester was wondering if there was a book which would provide detailed instructions on Mr. Edison's latest invention, but he kept his thoughts to himself as they disembarked from their transport and entered the tavern. Ignoring the gathering of Cockney chimney sweeps huddled at the bar, murmuring into their ale, they all made themselves upstairs where a shock awaited them. They had enlisted the help of a gang of local artisans to clear the room of chairs and tables in preparation for the evening's terpsichorean delights. They had even promised them an extra shilling apiece if they removed Mr. Edison's magical device from its wooden box and place it carefully on the special stand at the front of the room. Yet neither of these things had been done. A scruffy woollen-hatted individual appeared to be the leader of the group. "See here, young man, this room is a disgrace" the Professor muttered, but was met with a vacant stare and a stony silence. Suddenly, a tall individual wearing distinctive purple trousers strode into the room. "I'll handle this" he said and much to the professor's amazement, began to engage the urchin in a lengthy, detailed conversation. The result of this was that somewhat belatedly, the room was prepared and the mind-blowingly complex contraption installed in its proper place. Soon, a gathering of people culd be seen staring at it. The Professor recognised Sir Dafyd of Dorking and the Oriental magician known simply as Chu, but the third person was a stranger to him. As mysteries were anathema to him, he felt compelled to go and make his introductions immediately. The man made an austentatious bow. "My card" he said grandly, presenting Hester with a gilt edged card with the following legend in particularly swirly copper-plate: D.J. Santa, Esq. Steady State Scientist and Music Maker Hester was well acquainted with Steady State Science and felt no enquiries about that were necessary, but was intrigued by the music maker part. "I perform in various local hostelries under the name My Dear Killer", Santa replied. Given the gruesome demise of several harlots in the Whitechapel area recently, Hester felt the monicker to be in dubious taste, but he let that pass and diverted his attentions to the music machine. "What seems to be the problem, gentlemen?" he asked. The answer soon became apparent. A silver disk containing music by the ensemble known simply as Elastica had been placed inside, music had been played, but when they twiddled the knob to make it come out again, the little shelf it rested on was as bare as Mother Hubbard's cupboard. The professor stroked his chin thoughtfully, summoning Healey from the other side of the room. "What I suggest, is that we insert a second disk and see what happens to that" he told him. Healey looked baffled. "Is that wise?" he asked. "Won't it eat that....as well?" Hester gave Healey the kind of look of condescension which did not so much have 'you have a lot to learn' written on it, as chiselled with the precision of a master stonemason. Healey picked up a second disk. "I think we should try this song called Wrapped Up in Books" he suggested. At once Master Anscombe ran over, waving his hands in panic. "I hope nobody is suggesting wrapping anything up in books," he said, gasping. "After I've gone to all the trouble to Acquire them, they should only be stacked neatly on shelves, taken down carefully and read" he reminded everyone. After this brief interruption, the second disk was indeed inserted into the machine and the most beautiful music the assembled party had every heard came out. On the now clear dance floor, the visitor from the land of ice and snow, one Mistress Robyn began to dance to it and everyone was very impressed, showing their appreciation with a polite round of applause and shouts of "Bravo!" The disk emerged from the machine without a scratch on it, but the Elastica one was still trapped inside! What could possibly had gone wrong? D.J. Santa told the Professor that it had been agreed that everyone was being given a period of 45 minutes to try out Mr. Edison's invention and play as much music as they could. "It is your turn next", he whispered. "That means you have just 45 minutes to solve the mystery." Hester eyed the machine with some trepidation. He had to discover what all these switches and knobs did. He began to experiment. Sometimes the music stopped for no apparent reason, sometimes it came from one side of the room but not the other! And sometimes songs seemed to start from the beginning again for no apparent reason! The assembled gathring began to chatter amongst themselves. Whatever would Mistress Robyn think of all this? She had come all this way on her Cunard ocean liner, telling horrendous stories of narrowly missed icebergs and sea-sickness pills left unpacked on Montreal bedside tables. It was essential that her impressions of the mother country were positive ones. Eventually Hester's patience was tried. Swishing his cape aside, he switched all the switches at once, like a cat clawing at a tree-stump. Lo and behold the Elastica CD emerged, shiny and pristine with not a scratch on it. The mysterious tall man in purple trousers appeared once again. "Thank you for solving our mystery for us" he said, shaking the professor's hand. "Nonsense, it was nothing," Hester replied. "I should be thanking you for this excellent evening's entertainment, and the opportunity to experiment with the latest, um, Audio Technology". "The latest what was it?" the purple clad one asked quizzically. "I will make a prediction," the professor stated confidently, "that a century from now, the good subjects of the British Empire will still be referring to devices such as this as Audio Technology. From the Latin audiere, to hear, and the Greek teknologia, systematic treatment. Of course". "Of course", replied His Purpleness. As the granfather clock chimed one, Hester and Healey bid their farewells and stepped out into the chill London air. "Mistress Robyn does dance well, doesn't she?" opined Healey. "Yes of course" Hester replied. "One thing puzzled me though," Healey went on. "She told me she was a Canadian. Do you know what she meant by that?" The professor clasped an avuncular hand round Healey's shoulder. "Now that, my friend, is a mystery which will take slightly longer to solve." ______________________________________________________________ For up-to-the-minute music news, reviews and specials visit http://www.nme.com Only emails from nme-admin at nme.com and websupport at nme.com are from senders associated with nme.com or any other IPC magazine. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I can go to the Seattle concert on May 5th with a friend, but unfortunately, his ticket ended up being on a mezzanine and I have a floor ticket. Do any of you/does anyone you know have either a floor ticket that you would be willing to sell or a burning desire to have a nice comfy chair? Neither of us have ever been, and I can state quite honestly that this is the group that literally saved my life and has made me the person I am today, as I'm sure is a similar story for many of you. I'm quite honestly desperate, as I'm not quite sure how the Paramount would look upon sneaking onto the main floor... hmmm. We still have a month to attempt to negotiate, but Ticketmaster is a royal bitch, and I thought I'd turn to the all-powerful B&S font of incredible coolness as early as possible.

Yes, I, Astrid, have finally been given a voice on the sinister list! Actually, I've had it for quite a while but not used it, oh shock. Since I am known to send out totally meaningless posts about four times a day. Almost. See. I can't help but lie, or exaggerate. Always. Damn. SO. I've been to Miami. It was nice in many ways, bizarre in some other, and wonderful in others. However, seeing all the JOIN THE ARMY!!!-commercials running all the time made me feel quite uneasy, and we saw some of Bush's ads as well, dissing John Kerry. I don't know. Also, we got stuck on QVC (home shopping channel) the first jet-lagged evenings, and found ourselves wanting shitty-looking lamps and ugly moo-moo-like clothing. urgh. But at least we got fuse, a channel with some good videos, we saw some stuff we liked. After a while however, we started enjoying crap songs by crap bands just because there really was no alternative. I bought two records, Snow Patrol - Final Straw (my life on a record, basically. Hell, it is a truly lovely record!) and Nick Drake - Way To Blue (An introduction to Nick Drake). Hell, that is also a truly amazing record that i lurrrrrve, maybe because i am in lurrrrrve i think, and it makes everything nicer. Yes. I will not talk about it here, because these things are stored and people can see it on the internet, and that freaks me out quite a bit. today after my organisation and leadership class i stayed behind because i was waiting for my friend, and my teacher and i, a very nice Scottish woman, talked about Margaret Thatcher a bit, since I only knew people hated her and never really had much knowledge of what she did, except the mine strike in the 80s and that she was mean to the working class etc. etc. etc. But it was a good discussion, i got reminded of the fact that thatcher's called the iron lady, and then my teacher started thinking about this puppet show where she would eventually dress more and more like a man. Anyways, yes, it was interesting. Must know more. It's weird that people seem to hate her so much, i mean prime ministers and power people in general are usually super charismatic people who tend to, er, i don't know, but not be called the iron lady. I can't stop thinking about this certain boy that's become the object of my lurrrrve thog, he's coming to Stockholm on Thursday, and we will rent a movie and make dinner at my place. Shit, I almost sound like a grown-up, but I really am not. I am as childish as ever, for instance me and my friend always makes penis-jokes during our classes when we're supposed to listen, and we break down laughing at least once a day because of, er, stupid things. Dirty things, or, like... poo. HAHAHA. I'm sorry. I just called her over and now we are harrassing fellow classmates, just like it should be. Haha. Ahhh. The comforting feeling of knowing you have another hour of nothing to do during class, or like they call it; research. By the way, Scrubs is the best show ever, BECAUSE I AM JD! My favourite episode is when JD is in the elevator, and he has to sing Kung fu Fighting to himself, with complete moves. That is me. Ah I have to go, because everyone is harassing me now, and reallyl, it's not that much fun. Lots of love and PLEASE send me e-mails. I hope I don't sound needy. Ah, who are we kiddin' here, of course I am. LOVE ME!!

Grand. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I went to a blues club the other week, appropriately called The Blues Bar, on Kingley St in Soho. It kinda reminded me of YOU - I found it very difficult to believe that I was the only Sinister person to have ever stepped in the joint. It was great though; all scuzzy furniture and fittings, and some old dude growling about how his baby left him and about his toils with his woman. I noticed though that the most fun you can have when watching blues is to look at the drummer just before the end of every 12-bar phrase. They all (in my limited experience) seem to love to pull a face just at that moment when they break away from the rhythm and do some crazy fill. My man at The Blues Bar did a great line in gurning just as he rolled back into the start of a new verse or whatever - it was a joy to behold. Thinking about it, Richard from B&S has the facials of a frustrated blues drummer, I suppose. Anyway, that's all I can really think about at the moment.

Waves were crashing all around us and the sky way birght red and green. The ship was going fast becuase it was being chased by a whale who was in bad spirits becuase he beleived we had stolen his glasses . Of course we hadn't but we threw him some grapes to make up for it. That made the whale stop chasing us. When I woke up it was still raining and I thought: "goodness, is has been a long time since I've been to a PICNIC IN GLASGOW" Then i thought: " I know what, perhaps when Grainne comes to visit me on SATURDAY 1ST MAY, we could take Belle my dog to Kelivingrove park and have a picnic there. " Then I had some coffee and some toast and found it was much easier to carry on thinking and I thought: "Hmmm maybe if Grainne, belle and me, all hung around KELVINBRIDGE UNDERGROUND AT 2 PM some other people would join us" Then I realised I had been thinking out loud as Belle interupted me saying: "I can chase some pigeons!" And then she said "well perhaps you should email that nice mailing list we belong to and tell about the idea. Maybe they'll bring food!" So I did. See you soon (hopefully) Rachel PS if you think you like the idea of coming for a picnic with us please don't be shy and email me back so we know whether we should bother hanging around waiting for very long or not. And maybe we can make a more definite plan. ************* If you're any sort of hero, you'll be fighting for what you believe in. You'll get tired, and worn down by the world.

On the upside, despite never having had the opportunity to attend a sinister picnic, (did consider an igloo based option some time in january - no more carrying the fridge to the park), i can now just gatecrash a different picnic in a different city in a different country on a different continent every month...and if they don't do sinister picnics in peru then i'll just darn well have one on my own.

Oh, I never write, I never phone, treat this place like a hotel, only show up when I need me laundry doing, and only then because a twee Bob Hoskins materialised from thin air to say "It's good to Sinister". Talking of which, went to see Mum last night. They were wonderful. There was a bit when they all had tiny handbells and rang them off in a peal of noises while they were playing their other instruments. It was like electronic coming to life! Magnificent. The venue was great too - the Old Vic. Makes you wonder if Kevin Spacey was there, prior to taking his pooch out for another early hours stroll. A twee Bob Hoskins? What a thought.

Message-ID: Dear Sinister and Sinistrines I went to the Bank this morning. I can tell you, believe me, the bankers take the Bank holiday very seriously, they actually let us wait in the freezing April rain outside the door for more then half an hour out of the door, building up the longest queue ever out of a bank I’ve ever seen, and apparently enjoying themselves pretty much for that, which is a good sign of belated cynicisms. Some you should need if the people you were meant to talk to, were, actually on holiday. Bank holiday. Of course. This actually made me realise I haven’t realised it is actually Bank holiday, and, it is well know, there is no better way to spend them then having a picnic. Indeed, lovely Mrs. Rachel, pardon, doctor Rachel, invited you to meet her, and her (almost as) lovely spaniel Belle, in Glasgow, near Kelivingrove park. SATURDAY 1ST MAY, and meet up at KELVINBRIDGE UNDERGROUND AT 2 PM. [http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200404/msg00044.html]. And, as an irrelevant bonus, you’ll have chances to meet possibly the most beautiful people I have ever met, to lay down, hopefully in the sun, otherwise the pub is also a quite comfy shelter, in one of the most beautiful city in the country, the home of one if not your favourite band, I suppose, since you are on this list, (might be it used to be, alright, I’ll admit it myself) and meet the possibly most amusing bunch of sinister and sinistrine around, for the once I met. Can you think at a better plan? Honestly, I can’t. So I think that **you** should really really go, if you haven’t got better plans, like holidays in the Haway, or so, space trips on the Soyutz booked months in advance, marriage, but only if you’re marriage, or, perhaps best man, or something similar or if you are planning to go to Ian’s Yorkshire picnic, which as been rescheduled if I’m not wrong, anyway! Well, at least, I think, **you** should. **I**’d better stay in the capital. Which is not just turned the corner to Glasgow, but that is, at time, irrelevant, provided you have somewhere to crash, but because I have to redecorate the house. Well, that is not good enough as an excuse. Then let’s say that a good friend is moving to the southern seas, and won’t possibly see him for ages. And that’s, also, the truth. That makes me remember that the first time I saw Glasgow, it was for some kind of similar reason. At ahs been one of the best day in my life. And wasn’t expecting it either. Or might be I was. I’ve learnt the river which cross is the city is called the Clyde, and that is a good piece of information anyway. For the people who lives in London, we have a very welcome reminder by Mr. Ian Watson : [http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200404/msg00048.html] : about how does it feel to be loved being held south of the river side, and as he is pointing out there is not much actually going on over there for the indiekids(?)/galls(?).. but tonight there is a quite interesting gig at the Coronet, near Elephant and Castle, a location of well deserved fame, featuring the absolutely astonishing The Exoplosion in The Sky. This has been my favourite record this year, and to calla a song ‘first breath after coma’ is genius. Also to call an album ‘those who tell the truth shall die, those who tell the truth shall live forever’ is a piece of genius, I think, and is damned true, as well! Papa M. (ex slint tortoise, aerial M, many other and a band I won’t name because IS rubbish) is playing and it is a rather nice thing to listen to as well unfortunately there will be a bunch of elctroni! c performance, I say unfortunately because they make me sleep more then Valium does (so I should abuse them without any back-drawn ) but often find disappointingly pseudo-intellectual with total lack of irony and add any other nasty comment you’ll like better one was the guy from Mogwai with a sticker saying KID 666 on his amplifier: rock’n’roll well the poster in which they posed as Oasis was quite funny as well kid 606 is ‘playing’ (eheheh hitting keys on a laptop, to be precise) for the once who like the stuff. I am going, guess Dafyd, on this list and possibly other people, if so, and if you’ll fancy what about meeting up? {I would say for a drink, but possibly a pint of water would be nice anyway. Can always look like wodka or gin. actually gin and tonic, is the perfect drink for a sunny bank holiday. If the police don’t fancy sending you into jail for that!) {please reply of mail} We have a had a quite comfy and familiar Tigermilking night a couple of week ago, this time I have not slacked as much as usual and I have updated some photographs. It was near Easter and Mark Hester came with a chocolate bunny. !N!IC!E! You can actually see them here: http://www.undermybed.org/tigermilking I think is quite a lot for social events, but, if you fancy giving a hand redecorating the house, well, I’ll never say no Hope you’ll all have a fabulous week end You, rather steady stefano #~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~# I know one day I'm evil but i don't know where or when #~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~# TMBG +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.

I neglect my reporting back duties terribly, but in defence, I do have an extensive programme of procrastination to keep up with. MY LIFE ON BUSES OLYMPIC EVENTS ON CRUTCHES To my shame, I didn’t attend the last instance of Tigermilking, but it has been splendiferously described by others including Steady Organiser Stefano and the non-more-Victorian Mr Hester, Esq. Instead, I and the boy Robster were in attendance at a pre-wedding thing (referred to rather inelegantly by the perpetrators as a ‘sten’ [stag/hen] party) elsewhere in London for two former disciples of this forum, Mr Cabbage and Miss Vicky, who by now are proper married (the event took place in Central Park, New York City, no less) grownups and who can therefore tell how long a piece of string is and advise authoritatively on other such matters. It was very nice indeed, and the whole shebang is a shining example of why Sinister is a Good Thing in many people’s lives. MY LOVED ONES WAIT AS I’M ATHLETICALLY LATE Some time ago, the aforementioned R & I tooled up to the appointed pub in Brighton hours after the official meeting time, having missed a nail-biting air hockey tournament on the pier due to having a very tasty lunch with my mum. The rest of the afternoon and evening were very pleasant indeed due to good company and being able to duck out of the not particularly welcoming (but traditionally British seaside) weather into cosy pubs. There was also more air hockey later, so my visceral need to swipe a puck around a table and crow unbecomingly in victory was satisfied. More Brighton later this year hopefully, if Ms Archel feels up to hosting a mini-rabble or two ? A couple of weeks after that and now a couple of weeks ago there was a lovely sunny Saturday when a group of people of this parish met up to loaf artistically in Green Park, luckily the day before the London Marathon and so we didn’t have to feel guilty about eating pork pies while other slogged around the East End until hungover the following morning. There was a cornucopia of fine comestibles, but Jim Purple Trousers truly takes the gilded biscuit for his coolbag of goodies including actual fruit and lardy profiteroles. I had a scotch egg. I trust that the burgeoning picnic season has been as good to those of you lucky enough to have participated in such an event. THERE’S USUALLY A LOONY WHO WANT TO TALK TO ME It was nice to see strangers wandering up to be included in the frankly unwise display of manly ball sports that afternoon, but I suppose that’s the inclusive camaraderie and loving rivalry of football for you. It was not, however, quite so nice to witness the gents of a nearby group of recreational Italians repeatedly using the same poor tree as a urinal in plain view of all in the park, when there were easily accessible facilities very close indeed in the entrance to the Underground station. Honestly, some people don’t know how to behave themselves. They were also practising ‘poi’, which as you should probably know is fit only for technogoths and other such shady characters. THE CERTIFIED INSANE THEY ALL SEEM TO KNOW MY NAME There was a gent on my train home last Sunday with one amputated thumb and a lot of issues, who told me he had left a rehab centre earlier in the day, and who was a long way down a bottle of whisky (who knows how many had gone before?) by the time I met him. He was quite nice, although a bit too insistent about kissing my hand when he introduced himself, and his short-term memory was all to hell from the drink. We had a discussion about connections between people and how your confidence diminishes whenever they break. I had to move seats when he started to sway and burp prior to copious vomiting. ALTHOUGH MY EYES SAY “PLEASE IGNORE ME!” If I was being a really ‘good’ person I’d have stayed with him, but to be honest I get a bit fed up of vaguely lecherous drunk men approaching me in public (although it doesn’t happen that often, I seem to get a disproportionate volume of tramp love), even if it is possible to have a perfectly civilised conversation with them. I’d rather stick with my friends or people who I know in advance will be interesting and not encroach on my personal space. This doesn’t, of course, exclude random fruitful meetings, but one has to be wary of the general public, I find. In contrast, a nice new reason to be anti-antisocial is that Mr BenApps and the lovely Rachel Fruitloop (whose saga of transatlantic love and marriage you may find in the archives if you wish) have relocated back from LA-la land to London. We performed entirely inadequately in a pub music quiz the other week, but this humiliation didn’t stop the evening in their company (and that of Ken C and Miss Marianna) being great. As Ferris Bueller would say, “I highly recommend it if you get the chance.” I LISTEN TO YOUR LIFE STORY I haven’t made official note before of how much I have been enjoying Amy Skelton’s reports from Bangladesh. My dad’s living there at the moment, and it’s grand to get another view of the country beamed into my Inbox regularly. You go, girl! Take care and don’t let the bed-bugs bite. Love, Liz :x p.s. to conclude my belatedness, I’d like to note that the Avalanches remix of ‘I’m a Cuckoo’ is a bit strange, less Thin Lizzy-like than the original, but really enjoyable nevertheless. The choir who become prominent at the end sound very chirpy. ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today!

A wee treat for the Scotland massive... On Saturday June 12th, in Glasgow's Botanic Gardens, Belle & Sebastian, in association with the West End Festival, will be holding a FREE gig/ mini-festival/ party called "School's Out". We're going to be joined by V-Twin, Camera Obscura, The Trashcan Sinatras, Mother & The Addicts and The James Orr Complex. And maybe more if we can squeeze them in. That'll do for starters though. It's the first time the Botanics has ever hosted a gig and it's going to run from 3pm to 9pm. No tickets, no nothing. Just turn up. There's room for 10,000. We're totally excited, as it's going to be a top day. Those of you of a footballing bent will be pleased to learn you'll only miss Portugal vs Greece and Russia vs Spain, which, frankly, could be worse. The party is going to move on somewhere else after. More details on that as soon as we get it sorted...

Message-ID: <20040430190707.582DF29A18@xprdmailfe22.nwk.excite.com> so i am dumb, i am the first to admit it. i am staying at a hotel in north palm springs, a town that until yesterday i had never been to, so i had no idea that is pretty much separate a town. i was hoping to catch a bus or shuttle to coachella, but i am too far away for any of that. if anyone who is going has room in their car for me and a friend and would like a few extra dollars gas money please give me a call on my cell phone. the number is 206-351-7383. tammy. there is no silver lining on a mushroom cloud-ny times _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister at missprint.org.
