Sinister: New Orleans wishes
by Nik Ovenden 02 Sep '05

02 Sep '05

I don't know about god, but what i've seen isn't pretty. It's nasty to watch, and being from the UK it's a sheltered life (a 100mph hurricane once in a dozen blue moons). Yuck. I was in the city July 18-20th, and was amazed at how nice the population of a city can be. Super polite, even to people in my family who are extravagantly *english* tourists. always a "how you doing" and a smile. Excellent. Now i see this, Canal st. literally a canal, and think of the rats (there were a few). It must be awful down there. I hope any sinister people in the area and those with relatives are all safe and well. I know this wasnt a 15 minute email, nor does it have much list content, but this is pretty much the most gutwrenching thing i've seen in nearly 4 years. and i guess it hit me having been there less than 6 weeks ago. Best wishes, Niko xox __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

SV: Sinister: Yet another anonymous lurker from lurkerspace uncloaks himself
by Johan Cheander 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

ok, this must be my first post. I like the idea of focus on a few dates as Nando did here below... 1974) Born, Helsingborg, Sweden Didn't do much -94) Met my GF and then went to uni. -98) Got a job. Join "Sinister" just to ask a quick B&S question to the members, just to find out that you can't post before you've been a member for som time.....oh man :c( Spending hours at work deleting mail from Sinister ;) -01) First daughter born Spending hours at work deleting mail from Sinister ;) -04) ...the second is born Spending hours at work deleting mail from Sinister ;) -05) Finaly I write somthing completely stupid like this. If you still are with me I really have a question for Sinister: I'm going to London next week for a weekend trip Thurs to Sun. Are going to the Den on sat 10th do see Millwall-Preston, but do you know if there are any fine popular orchestra playing any of the nights in the area?? Thanks Johan ________________________________ Från: owner2-sinister(a)missprint.org genom nando(a)venera7.com Skickat: må 2005-08-29 16:26 Till: sinister(a)missprint.org Ämne: Sinister: Yet another anonymous lurker from lurkerspace uncloaks himself ahemmm. well, happy b-day! I've been a durmant siniestr for years. I witnessed the ancient times, oh yes. and when I saw this list blooming again... well, I was kind of touched. I suppose that noone of you know me, so therefore it might be interesting a wee catch-up on my life's changes during all these years: 1996) The obscure uni years(TM). Not very well documented. I for one welcome the new scottish overlords. 1998?) Subscribe to sitsnier. Automatically overwhelmed with its coolness factor. The lurking begins. 2000) Finished my gray degree in electronics & started working. Get tired of lurking. 2001-2003) Become Yber-stressed. Looks like the younger generations here in Spain are more into outrageus spanish pop- rock or flamencoázapatista satanic bands. I no longer can impress a girl with my compitapes: no wedding. 2003-2005) Leave the job & emigrate to Swedish Lappland. not blessed by the holy matrimony. late2004) Comeback. New jobb. Woeful reintroduction. the 2nd stay at the nursery didn't help at all, but at some point around X- mas I discover that kenneth.chu loves us all. I try to post something. failed. didn't get married. aug2005) honey saves me and I believe again. still not married. Where's the rest of us?

Sinister: let me take you on a journey
by Ian Moore 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

HI DERE! first up, usual apologies. You may recall that the last time I posted I made some rash claim that I would not post again until I had posted out my Sinister Christmas presents. Well, I have not posted them yet, but I will one day. Maybe tomorrow, maybe not. Anyway, I have been so excited by the sudden burst of posting to the list that I feel I must join in this joyful correspondence. It was nice to see loads of old names posting again, but I think I was particularly pleased to see Astrid mailing again, as I think she joined the list around the same time I did. Maybe there will be a sudden resurgence of posters from around that time. You know, like Psi, Grainne, Priscila, Seamus. and all the others. I'd like that. I would also like to hear from Jenowl again. I remember what I think was her last post, a joyful mail about she had finally left school and thus was free to move away where the hard kids would never find her again. And then nothing. In her happy post school life did she no longer need to post to us, or did the hard kids track her down and see to it that she never would post to anything ever again? I do not know. I've had some adventures of my own. Recently I was in the troubled land of Palestine (I don't recognise the state of Israel, except when dealing with their immigration and security officials, and in any case I spent almost my entire time on the other side of the Green Line). If you like big fuck off walls with graffiti on them then Palestine is the place to go. The olde city of Jerusalem is also good fun, if you've ever fancied seeing what cities looked like in the middle ages. I also discovered a species of cute animal hitherto unknown in the western world - the hyrax. This little fellow lives in the Judean desert and although he looks like some kind of cuddly rodent, he is in fact a relative of the elephant. And very fierce. Never forget that. Next week I am off to the Americas. Montreal, Vermont, New York, that's my itinerary. I'm a bit worried about Vermont - I've read my H.P. Lovecraft, and I hear that every second person there is some kind of squamous monstrosity in league with rugose entities from beyond time and space. Also, the place seems to lack public transport. I'd suggest trying to arrange a rendezvous, but I think I will be too busy getting over jet lag in Montreal, while I am at a wedding in Vermont (steady on ladies, it's not mine). And in New York I am staying with people from the other internet, so they get first dibs on my social time. However, it is possible that I will go along to a concert by popular Irish band The Chalets which is taking place somewhere in New York on Thursday week (checks events diary, they play at some KCRW showcase with a load of other bands in that Sin E place where Jeff Buckley recorded his lamer live version of 'The Way Young Lovers Do', on the 15th). If you go to that concert, have fun going up to people and saying "Are you the Dirty Vicar?". You might want to confer with MarkH or Amy Skelton before going to any Chalets concert, mind. I recall them saying they were going to one, but not them posting as to whether they enjoyed it or not. OK, better run before the beloved realises I've been talking to you all instead of finding us somewhere to stay in Vermont. live to rock, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: god and his judgment of the south
by leyda campbell 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

its crazy here in the states what with the hurricane and mass devistation of bibical proportions. i am hoping that any sinisters out there or there families and friends are safe and well. it is scary to think that an entire state is almost totally submerged in water. i have tried to avoid watching too much news coverage about it because i think that it has turned into a media circus which is insulting to all these people who are truly suffering. but maybe im just too sensitve. anyway, take care all. much love and all that good stuff to you all. xoxo leyda _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Sinister: screaming babies in the tropical night
by Nando Sola 01 Sep '05

01 Sep '05

Here I am again. Quite alive after a pagan weekend, a loitered monday and a void tuesday. I've been just riding my bike around the town again, but it won't do me any good to get some sleep. A night whose temperature is above 25º is called "tropical night" and unless you have an air conditioner, your only companion will be insomnia. I tried to open the window, but instead of rutting howling monkeys and soothing, alluring jungle night sounds, I have this baby-neighbour of mine screaming for human milk (or blood) like there was no tomorrow. Time to look back at my memories, find new, very painful ways to slaughter newborns or just go deaf. Speaking of babies, I bumped into my 1996-1999 crush yesterday afternoon. She has settled down and has an extremely cute babygirl of her own, whom she was carrying in a stroller. Btw, she's not into B&S anymore. her boyfriend-and-future- husband doesn't belong to the swinging Madrid we both once knew. And shame on me! Today I came to work (2 & a half hours late), after a night of tapas, beer, bowie and a regrettable discussion about the nonexistent possibilities of skinny dipping in Madrid. Well, we have this itty-bitty Manzanares river, but it's more of an open air sewer full of 3-eyed mutant fishes. I stood up for the good-ol' public fountains, but we never reached any conclusion. I wish we had something like Helsinki's Hietaniemi or at least non-gay, *real* saunas (skinny rolling in the snow at -30º included). I miss all that healthy scandinavian thingies. As for my coming late to work, I had this silly moment in the commuter train when I realized I completely forgot to put my laptop into my bag, so I had to get back home. DOH! Status: still hangoverish. Resaca. Write five hundred blank mails to yourself with "I shall never go out on tuesday" in the subject line. More things. Now that I am officially a former lurker, I decided to go to the PopRevolution festival (I loove almost all of the bands in Labrador). So if any sinisterino feels like guiding this humble spaniard back into the Light, I'll be there. Krister & Co. kanske? off to sleep (hopefully) //NANDO +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Welcome to the new term.
by jo perry 31 Aug '05

31 Aug '05

Hey kids, shake a leg. Like many who haven't posted for a while life has moved on and I am now a fully qualified English teacher. This has taught me many things, the most important of these is that i am no longer allowed to make spelling errors. This is unfortunate as some words i haven't written in a while, or read for that matter so i forget how to say them let alone write them on a big white board in front of 32 teenagers in turmoil. The new term is about to begin, this can be seen clearly in the massive displays of pens and notebooks in the various stationers. However, the allure of new stationery seems to have evaded this teenage generation as on the first day i will be handing out pens like candy on Halloween. Now- surely this problem would be solved with a little bit of clever marketing. Pop bands need to jump on the stationery bandwagon, the kids would be more likely to carry a pen if it had 50cent on it or something else coolhipandtrendy like The Killers or Mcdonalds fries (McFly). Now, clearly i would be more than willing to hand out pens emblazoned with the lyrics of B&S. That would make me a very happy Miss Perry. Perhaps i should suggest it to some higher being. On other matters, why doesn't Yahoo capitalise my i? Looking forward to the Barbican shindig like a fox.

Sinister: first post without the word dude in it.
by Astrid Wiezell 31 Aug '05

31 Aug '05

hello sinistereens! i thought i would write a better post than the last one, for it was utter cack. I was super stressed and just wanted to say, hey, how's it going bowlies, i live in islington. and i still do. five days ago i flew from skavsta, which is the horrible airport from which ryanair have their cheapo flights. as it is ryanair, it is in the middle of fucking nowhere. i live in a lovely townhouse of four (and a half, sort of) floors with a family with a mum, a dad and two kids. a boy turning six, and a girl turning four. not having had any younger siblings myself, being their au pair is truly a weird but funny and sometimes distressing experience. they can be so hiliarious! and horrible! and lovely! it does make me think of all that stuff though... getting married, and having kids, and that sort of thing. i have met the most lovely boy ever, and i am so happy he is my boyfriend. he lives up north, but he is coming down this weekend to stay with me (yay yay yay!!!) and the weekend after that I will be going up to see his family for the first time, and the weekend after that he is coming to london for a week of londony things, all ending with the barbican gig! how good will that be? it will be brilliant. i haven't seen b&s live for ages, not since 2002, i think it was. i had such a b&s-y day a while back. i listened to tigermilk, as i walked through the lovely park and then over this big bridge to visit my sister's extra-work workplace, a kindergarten where she used to work fulltime. i hung out with kids all day, and then as i was going home, i thought "hey, i need an ice cream!" and went into this video store to get some. and there was some old man behind the counter, and a guy who was probably around 30, who had a big bag. he was renting porn dvds. then when i looked closer, as i was paying for my innocent ice cream he had the whole sports bag filled with pornos. ew. that felt very b&s. you think it's all lovely. but it's not. then you laugh about it and get on with life. oh crap, i think the kids are in my room. hold on. i'll be right back. ... oh, right, they were lurking about, wanting to play my guitar. they LOVE my guitar. unforunately for them, so do i, so they can only play it sometimes when i'm around to see them maiming my darling. oh and i am playing a gig too! on the 24th. at the windmill in brixton. it has a lot of potential to be shite. but i am playing second, i think, so it'll be early in the evening. it is however (and this i say with some shame for promoting the b-word on sinister feels weird) a bowlie all-dayer so if you want to go, there might be a few tickets left. it costs about £4 i think, and if you send your full name to alldayer(a)bowlie.com they will reserve tickets for you. but a few days ago, it was just under 30 tickets left. anyways, yeah. i am so nervous about it. i might fuck up a bit. please don't hate me if i do. there is a good chance i will. so how do i spend my days? well. usually i will get up really early, i think my latest start is 8:30 and start minding the kids. take them to a nice park and play with them (jeez what a workout THAT is) and then come back. usually have a break for a few hours, then i'll either work between 12:30 and 17:30, or from 16 or 17 to around 19:30. it is very much alright and ok work, it's more a matter of learning how to do things. this weekend, my boyfriend is coming to see me. i canont tell you how much that means to me. oh, the kids want the computer now for star wars games. but it's hard to refuse when the boy goes to his friend william, who is here visiting: "william, let's go downstairs and pretend we're in space!" speak to you soon sinister. luv ya.

Sinister: another one
by Zoe Charaktinou 30 Aug '05

Hello to all Sinisietrs out there... Lurkerdom you say? it's been 2 years and 4 months since my last post...sighs...for me it was Stacey's posts -hello!- who put my brain into motion and made me decide to write again. The stirup of some fond memories. Newly arrived in UK circa 1999, all alone in a uni computer room in tropical Dudley- remember that?remember me?- trying to get info on our favourite band and that was it. I wonder how GHD and velocity are faring? any news? I'm still dancing on the streets of Birmingham, working in a LIBRARY (YES YES YES!!!), in fact the Art and Design library of UCE (you can find me in Gosta Green dancing under the counter) and doing a postgraduate in Visual arts, mainly curation. I occasionally drop by Athens, (how's the Greek posse? let's meet one day (really) ). Not married. I didn't wear red knickers for Sinister birthday but a red bra, is that ok? I have also initiated a new person to the wonders of Sinister on the list's birthday, how good am I? She will unearth herself soon I am sure. Even though I didn't meet a lot of people from here and the ones I met I didn't really keep in touch (I was VERY shy once), this still is one of my favourite places in the whole wide world. Can we meet again? So as this year I was/am back in uni, I will be very original and go now cos my wee books are waiting for me on my wee desk waving impatiently. Dare I say I'll be back? love Zoe :-) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I Thought She Meant Mark E Smith
by Krister Bladh 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Hello all and happy birthday! Nice to see a post from Niko... and Astrid! I've been meaning to post myself for some time now, because I have a lot to tell you. I'm happy for all who got to see Jens in Glasgow this weekend, especially Tara, whom I know has been a big fan of him for some time! The swooning is understandable, but as a Swede I'm tragically past that stage: having seen him play for at least seven times now, and over here he's almost becoming a 'mainstream' artist. Not that its a bad thing... but Id rather talk to Momus, or Stevie. This summer really has been the best ever for me. With so many friends to see and go the beach with, finally holidaying in Scotland, meeting REAL sinistereens, meeting my first girlfriend here in Malmö at Perfect From Now On (great one-day festival that had booked (note: booked) TVPs) maybe there'll be a little something about that... *hint*... I also went to the Emmaboda festival and saw The Pipettes live and interviewed them! At the festival, I was hanging out with them and my friend (and friend of Pipas') Alice who came all the way from London, as well as Neil who came all the way from Leeds (he was in a 90's twee band called Bouquet if anyone recalls?). On the last day of the festival we were drinking by a self-made fire in the woods, but sadly those bastard festival guards came and spoiled the fun. They have no decency, these people. Today was the last day at work for me and on Thursday it's back to uni and art studies for me. That also means back to the student radio! First thing, I'm going to play Pocketbook Angel in memory of Liz. And of course we'll play the Sinister-connected Tales of Jenny! I just can't BELIEVE Matinée hasnt signed them yet... Theyre one of the best bands I've heard for months! I'm also looking forward to the Pop Revo festival in Denmark in a couple of weeks. It will feature Lovejoy, Louis Phillipe (!), TVPs (as if...), The Clientele, and our own Ian Watson will be playing records. See you there Ian, and anyone else going! love chris -- _______________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.linuxmail.org This allows you to send and receive SMS through your mailbox.

Sinister: blue knickers, list content and additional de-lurking (hellos to all)
by Nik Ovenden 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Gosh, I was such a lurky lurker for the past 4 years that I honestly didnt realise what had happened to everybody. I'll pin my message to the corkboard and say how great it is to see everyone proving posting is the new lurking. So, I have met many Sinister people in the past 4 years; Helen McLean, Jimbo and Terry Boyle in Perth, Lawrence Mikkelsen in Auckland; also Rachel Fruitloop in LA. Thanks to those who accommodate a rogueish little 18 year old fresh out of school with no money and not an awful lot of anything else. Interspersed with these were some ATP rendezvous-es; Carsmile and a swell fellow this year have excellent festival taste, I look forward to meeting more sinister peoples at Camber Sands in the future... Times have changed, my original listy introducer Viks is finishing her 4th year at the Slade, UCL. I'm into my last year at Edinburgh Uni, having now been here three years (how many other Edinburghers are here? Or do you all go to the Glasgow picnics?) doing Social Anthropology; my dissertation is in poker, yip de doo. In the last year I had the pleasure of meeting Lawrence and his wife Vanessa again, when they toured the UK, also Krister who visited Edinburgh briefly, plus on my trip to NYC (as well as other bits of the USA) i met Martha. Hello to all there and thereabouts also! Ooh, hasn't a lot happened since I last posted. I have a confession, the last B&S record I bought was Storytelling, which i *didn't really* enjoy. And DCW is still awaiting a purchase, for shame. I missed the picnic action as i was away on a catering job this weekend, and i left my red underware behind. So I'm not doing very well, tut tut. Happy 8th birthday (belated), and I'm glad i've been around for 5.5ish of it, despite my quietness. You'd never guess i was quiet by the length of this (email). Or my [exceptionally Sinister-ish] smutty sense of humour. The upshot of being away on that catering job was that my bed for the weekend was in a house who owned a copy of TWATTYBUS, so in honour we played it twice on saturday. Until maybe the 10th? Anyone in edinburgh who wants to meet up for a belated Capital City Pick Nick, I'm game, anyone I've missed from meetups give me a shout, anyone i owe CDs to shout louder, hee hee. Love to all, most of all Honey, who does a tip top job. Everyone pull your trousers up now, red knicker day is over. Paul McCartney? yep. the Pope? possibly. Sinister people? maybe not.
