Sinister: compo
by Josh Modell 03 Oct '97

03 Oct '97

Here's a night time group shot; I like those the best. Nobody's posed, of course, but D, Monica, Danie (the girl), Danny (the boy), Jim, Heidi, Eric, Jim, John, Amy, Rich and Heather are milling about outside the movie theatre, facing all different directions, facing the sidewalk. If anybody's talking, they're cautiously attempting to find out if the film made sense to anyone else. Everyone's relieved to learn that it didn't. Small consolation was found in the fact that no one had paid to get it -- that and a walk to the corner for some ice cream. If you look closely, you'll see the back of my head. I'm already halfway there. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: compo

This is one of me standing outside the Gap in San Francisco waiting for Susan. I'm wearing a stiff new dress shirt and old jeans I used to think were too tight. I used to hate wearing tight clothes because I thought they made me look too skinny. Susan is very fashionable, in both clothes and lateness. I really like her. I hadn't seen her all summer, and she called me out of the blue to see Supergrass. I'd barely even heard them before. I feel plain, unhip, but happy. I see her, and she's wearing beautiful shoes. After the show, I didn't see her for the rest of the summer. Tyson McCreary tysonm(a)cats.ucsc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: ah ha!

i'm sure we've all had those specific, clarifying moments. they're akin to when you're traveling up a mountain and your ears begin to get all plugged up. it's then that you open your mouth and giggle your jaw side to side and <voila!> you can hear the world in technicolour again. i had one of those moments the other day. i was listening to "stars of track and field" and it got to the line, "kissing girls in english at the back of the stairs." all of a sudden it made sense! they weren't FRENCH kissing! they were kissing the english way! peck on the cheek? for some reason the rest of the song seemed to fall into place once i got past that line. perhaps i'm incorrect (though i don't believe that there's anything incorrect with anyone's interpretation of song lyrics. it's all so personal.), but i was very excited when it occurred to me that way. :) michelle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you can't say something nice, please phrase your insults well. It makes for a better read. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

RE: Sinister: Belle and Sebastian at Peel Acres
by Keith Watson 03 Oct '97

I'm more partial to Oasis now than I ever was. I think it's because of the Flying V guitar in that video with all the helicopters. I see no reason why brickkies should or shouldn't make music, or musicians become brickies. Communists used to do that as punishment for excess grooviness. I also think it's OK to nick tunes. There are only so many ways to make the air vibrate. If you think up something "new" someone else will immediately copy it and run off with all the money. And where do you draw the line between "influenced by" and "ripping off"? It keeps lawyers in business, I suppose. [Keith Watson] Nothing really against brickies, it was more a way of getting across what I meant than singling out Bricklayers for non-music making duties. Again, it's not really the nicking tunes that's the irritating bit - it's a fact that they're crap as far as I can see and that they're all the same - the fact that Noel considers himself one of the worlds greatest ever songwriters and that shitloads of people are currently slapping him on the back and agreeing that rankles a little - I'm also a little sick of people with their arms around Paul Bloody Weller in the NME. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Compo

This is a picture of Charlie and Butterfly Jo sitting in our back yard last summer. Charlie is on the left wearing my old brown chords and a wicked grin. Her eyes are fixed on next doors tabby cat who is perched on Joe's belly, striving to grab Joe's key which he's dangling from a shoelace. That red shoelace acted as a beacon all year. He'd have lost that key a thousand times down the side of the sofa or under a pile of old newspapers had the shoelace not betrayed its resting place. Its funny but I never did manage to find a way to attract Charlie's gaze. Chris DM ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: Mishearings

I thought the first time I heard the State "My brother had confessed he was gay and said that he loved me for a while" I think this is classic. Anyone else hear it like this? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Here's one of my nephew. I forgot to turn the flash on and it's already getting dark inside on this midwinter's afternoon. He's scurrying about around the furniture and although I'm supposed to be playing hide and seek with him, I'm really lying on the sofa acting lazy. As he sticks his head out from his hiding place and I say "I found you now Eli." He smiles and says, "No you didn't Uncle Matt" and sticks his head back inside.

Sinister: Century of promos

Hi! This one goes out to those chosen few who have got the "Centuary of fakers" ep in their mailboxes already. I want an review, and a description of every track. And do not just use the word "fantastic"! I´m dead curios - you see, and I guess more of us "unchosen" are. So please, somebody... ///Klas, who also wonders if anyone "Over there" has seen "Henry Fool" yet. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: More chords
by S.A. Clarke A9653157 03 Oct '97

03 Oct '97

Hello there. I've just found the "Belle and Sebastian songbook" page and noticed that the songs off the Lazy Line...E.P are not included. I think they go something like this. Steve LAZY LINE PAINTER JANE F# Bb Working the village shop, putting a poster up Eb min F# B maj7 Dreaming of anything, dreaming of the time Bb min Ab min When you are free from all the trouble you're in F# Bb In the mud on your knees, trying hard not to please Eb min F#7 B Anyone all the time, being a rebel's fine, B min F# But you go all the way to being brutal. C# You will have a boy tonight, you will have a boy tonight B F# min F# On the last bus out of town, on the last bus out of town. YOU MADE ME FORGET MY DREAMS This song is built around the following chord sequence. There is a droned Db bass note for most of the song. Db F# You made me forget my dreams when I woke up to you sleeping Db F# Db We had peace for a night at least but the trouble starts today This morning you'll say: Ab F# Db F# "I'll see you sometime, maybe" and I fall back to uneasy sleep. PHOTO JENNY F# I'm in a mess, I'm in a dress There's nothing from here till tomorrow morning B Bb min G# min How do I get there? How do I get there? I don't do drugs F# All my friends are on their holidays. (Same for second verse) C# B Bb min They got the drugs I could use but then I don't need any C# B Bb min All that I want is a photograph of Photo Jenny B F# How will I get one? I don't know B F# How will I get one? I don't know B F# C# How will I get her to strike a pose? Then at the end of the song there are some harmonies on the word "pose" that go.. A maj7, B, F# A CENTURY OF ELVIS There are four chord sequences in this one that are repeated. For those who don't know, A/C# indicates an A major chord with a C# in the bass. D A/C# G/B D/A G D/F# A (Play 4 times) B min G D A (Play twice) A A G D (Play twice) D A/C# G/B D/A G D/F# A (Play twice) B min G D A (Play twice) D G D G (To end) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
