Sinister: NW Picnic and other Delights
by COURTOLY＠aol.com 21 Jun '99

21 Jun '99

Okay I'm trying not to talk too much, being at home with my parents last week left me with too much time on my hands. Now I'm safe at my real West Coast home. NW Belle and Sebastian Picnic! Sunday June 27th, 2PM at Priest Point Park in Olympia. The Park office is closed today so I'll have to post directions later on in the week. Basically you come to Olympia, find 4th Ave, head over past State Ave on Plum, go that direction along the water until you find East Bay Drive, and then the park. I'll hang blue balloons so you can find your way to our picnic spot. Please bring food and drinks and games. My high school had a dual vcr for converting nstc to pal and vice versa (for the language classes, we got to watch Beethoven's Second in French)....so I would check the community college because they might have the equipment in their library or media loan department. I was talking to a boy at the Olympia Experimental Music Festival last night who had gotten a request for Belle and Sebastian on his radio show. He said he knew it was a kids show, and started scanning all the Disney soundtracks because he knew there were characters named Belle and Sebastian in their recent cartoons. It was against his better thought though, that there was a show about a boy and a dog called Belle and Sebastian. Right now I'm making him a tape of TBWTAS...not because it's the best, but because it's the only one I have on CD and can dub without my roommate hearing. I was thinking it would be nice if we had badges for the listfolk. Something not terribly obvious, the word SIN in cursive with a heart dotting the i perhaps? I'd be willing to coordinate it, just e-mail me privately or include a yeah or nay in your posts. >I was very disappointed when Leo Di Bloody Caprio >got Yummy Ewan's role in the film version of "The >Beach". Don't be too sad. There is a boycott of that movie because the company totally paid off the local government to destroy the beach vegetation where they were filming. They went so far as to bring in non native plants to make it look "more realistic" on film or some crap like that.

Sinister: ~cabaret punks - we salute you!
by Youn Jong Noh 21 Jun '99

21 Jun '99

Robin's syntax for sarcasm is best: more economical than mine (2 symbols as opposed to 3) but unambiguous. I will adopt the further convention that sentence-initial tilde has scope over the entire sentence. Yesterday I went to watch my sister try on bridal gowns. It was lots of fun! Now I know the origin of 'bustle' as a verb - the movement in a certain part of a gown as the bride makes haste ... I get to do it cos I'm gonna be the bridesmaid, do the bustle that is. I get to wear a real dress. It's gonna be a sheath - gunmetal grey satiny material with an interesting foldover thing at the neckline, granted - not a very good description. There was a depressing part, too - when my sister talked about how much weight she wanted to lose in front of the girl who was helping us who was so nice who was so obviously heavier than she. The girl was beautiful though, auburn hair and greenish grey eyes and a really sweet demeanor and her eye makeup was expertly applied - I've never seen anything like it - could be out of Seventeen - or even from the back of the applicators - a perfect angle from the corner of the eye - grey eyeshadow. I watched Henry Fool today on video. Hal Hartley has improved tremendously as a director. At university, I watched one of his films (the one about the professor who has a brief affair with a student; Flirt which is more recent is also better than this; find it intriguing that he has a japanese girlfriend, partner, whatever - intriguing mostly cos he has to order two caterers according to the credits) and it was all wrong - a mistake - and though there were redeeming parts, i.e. the homeless woman - some parts were just hard to take, i.e. when they break out in a song and dance routine (someone complained about the Simpsons on the same lines). But Henry Fool is great! The film critics on the list - do they take Hal Hartley seriously? Read the beginning of Soft Touch at the bookstore but was distracted by the accent and couldn't finish. Didn't really want to. I make the mistake of equating Stuart with every male character (sometimes even female) that he sings about. And who can match his sensibility? +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Treatment for depression
by McQuain, Chris 20 Jun '99

20 Jun '99

My personal cure for depression: Avoid ALL prescripto-chemicals like Prozac and Zoloft (which, at least for men, can diminish the capacity for sexual arousal), and take the herbal supplement St. John's Wort. It's available in pill form, much less expensive than the aforementioned chemical treatments, at your local Safeway. It doesn't, as is a popular myth about antidepressants, change your personality in the slightest. What it does do is give you a perfectly natural ability to cope with negative feelings- you're still fully aware of them, still feeling them, but it doesn't make you feel so hopeless. This has been brought to you by the St. John's Wort Council of America... -Two or Three Things I Know About Chris +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Another Tigermilk
by McQuain, Chris 20 Jun '99

20 Jun '99

Was there somebody making a 'registry' of orig. Tigermilk vinyl? I finally got mine and of course it's pure gratification. Yes, somehow a copy made its way to Portland, where it was purchased in 1997 for a standard retail price by a wily pop investor, who in turn sold it to moi, who has no plans of ever letting it go. My question is: What information does this meticulous person (I wish I could remember who you are, but I can't!) need? Is there a serial number on there, or...? Each copy must be kept track of, like the precious works of art they are. Ciao 'til the flip side... -Chris :) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: Sophie and Eddy
by Martin Robinson 19 Jun '99

19 Jun '99

Hello, It's my birthday today and by the law of averages and a scientific calculator it's also nearly 2 other people's. So a very happy birthday to the other two, and I don't mean the New Order married couple. I've also been using my calculator to work out how to post something that appeals to 3 out of 4 Sinister's. Obviously I didn't manage this but I worked out how to spell sausages upside down on it. Cool. Annoyingly I didn't manage to win Super Furry Animals tickets for their gig in London today, especially seeing as several friends went. If anyone did go can they please refrain from telling me how good it was. It's just finished and I already know how good it was in intimate detail. Bragging isn't big or clever. I just ordered loads of CD's on the internet instead. Do they not know I can't afford it? Can't wait to get my mitts on Arthur Lee's "Vindicator" and some Yo La Tengo. Can someone let me know what Tullycraft albums are like as I heard "Belinda" today and it's ace (Is this where you say PRIVATELY?). Must dash I'm off out on the piss, Te ra, Martin P.S Can I wish Sophie and Prince Eddy all the best for their lives together. Bless 'em. It'll end in tears... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".

Sinister: I'm going to see the Matrix on Monday
by Koen 19 Jun '99

19 Jun '99

Hi Sinister people, here's a snippet from a Grant McLennan interview I found on Tallulah, the Go-Betweens mailing list: " That warm reception may be partially due to a new appreciation among the indie cognoscenti for the style of pop that the Go-Betweens pioneered. For instance, it's easy to hear their gentle spirit and literary bent in the music of Belle and Sebastian. Says McLennan, "The last few times we've been to Glasgow, the Belle and Sebastian people have been at the shows, and we've gotten the chance to know them. They are very honest and forthright in their love of what we do. I'm glad that there's a band as good as them. There's enough people who want to turn the amps up to 10 and put the fuzz pedals on." " It's always nice to find your theories confirmed. B&S kept reminding me of the GB's, or maybe it'was the other way around, but I feel there's a spiritual (for lack of better word) kinship between B&S and the GB's, at least for me. I just spend 15 minutes trying to describe (find) similarities, but the best I can come up with is thay I love them both, and that GB-wise I'm in the same state of mind like I was last year, when I just got my "Arab Strap" promo and a ticket to Shepherds Bush, and I was almost incapable of playing anything but B&S. Oh, there's a pic of my newly-born niece and me in the gallery. I'm off now to find the six degrees of separation between Brian Wilson and Stuart Murdoch, Koen +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister(a)majordomo.net".
