Sinister: Dancing At The Vermilion Gate
by Genevieve Wesley 24 Oct '00

24 Oct '00

Dear Sinister, My Belle & Sebastian silk-screen print, which I was complaining about earlier, actually did work on that final,exhausting attempt. Well, it produced 3 alien-babies, and then died on me. Silk-screen prints are supposed to be forever! So I'm cutting up all the didn't-quite-turn-out prints and making an arty collage...no one will know the difference.Shh! Don't tell my art teacher or else there will be some Lambasting with Honey's kinky whip, and I see JenOwl has come into possesion of one too..so,beware of sinister whip squad. Halloween costumes,yippee!Halloween is one of my favourite holidays.The air,leaves and candy. Once I saw two Devils on Devil's Night,and they were smoking through their ski-masques,impossibly cool. I'm not going to be original this year, I'll just be the sure-fire french maid. A staple of any girl's wardrobe,for sure. But there are more pressing matters at hand, fishnets or thi-hi's and garters? Decisions,decisions. Struan...what would YOU choose? Now, there's lots of talk round these parts of sinister boys and nail varnish and glitter,so I get confused, but if those gorgeous hands with the long red nails in the picnic photos (3rdBdayStillLife) belong to Ally96, I will eat Isobel's tigers-ears and die a thousand times. Phillip Runion: Do not worry about sending messages of Pish to me. It's the most commonly used word by one of my favourite Men of the world...SIGH...excuse me as I press my body against the window,tears streaming down my face...bosom rising and falling as the rain falls harder with each sob...(don't mind me,I'm just trying to get as many matches as possible with certain words in the search machine) Honey whispered,in sugary pink tones: >And if you're >within hearing range of a member of the band, and your embarrassed >fumbling explanations that it's "ironic" fail to impress, and you try >and blame it on me, then I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking >about. Ho ho. Ha Ha! B&S ringtones. Ok, sometimes I worry that my certain thoughts of certain members of the band are a little weird,but... I mean,what if you're chatting up Struan in a bar,and your cell goes off to THAT. I can bet you that Struan would toss his hair over one shoulder, roll his eyes and run away, gucci pumps clicking off in the distance and there goes your one and only chance for some loving. Oh,that looks bad. A longtime-ago a boy once sent a poem to umm..a 'friend' of mine.And from then on I am always afraid whenever I say loving it will sound like him: A KISS TO STOP MANKIND I WANT TO GIVE YOU LOVING THE SORT TO BLOW YOUR MIND I STOP THE POEM HERE INCASE YOU DO NOT LIKE IT BUT IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE MY SWEET I'LL MAKE YOU FEEL EXCITED! (shudder) (and the whole poem was in upper-case too..help help) Are any else of you pack rats? I keep..the weirdest,strangest little notes and scraps and letters. Marybeth had quite a funny post asking if any one else on the list is a Stylophile. Me! Me! Me! I arm myself for classes,ready to take notes with a special pen set (Hot Pink, Wild Violet, Neon Orange, Electric Blue, Lime Green..) and don't even get me started on how gorgeous silver ink is on black paper; I get all tingly. l!o!v!e!, genevieve p.s Christiaan, you are of the most delicious nuts in the whole wide world... Honey Roasted, you come to me hickory flavoured and I F A L L, over, overcome with the taste sensation _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: jeepsternews: Christmas seems to come earlier every year. (fwd)

23 Oct '00

Heyho lovers, Two things: please find below the Jeepster Nudeslines from Jeepster Nudes: stuff about the Xmas LP and the new Gentle Waves gejibberies. In case you haven't seen this. Secondly some ringtones for your phones. Obviously I didn't write these myself, and even more obviously not while on a holiday in Paris, because that'd be a really sad thing to do in one of the world's most beautiful capitals wouldn't it? So obviously not. These are for Nokia's, um, I'm told: family tree +c+c+c+d+Ca#a+c+c+c+d+Ca+c#aagfGga#aagfGa#a+c+c+c+d+Ca#a+c+c+c+d+Ca+c#aagfGga#a+d+g+f+f+e+d+c+D the model aa#aaGF+f+f+f+f+E+E+d+d+c+c#ap#a#aa#a+c#aAGffggA+f+f+e+f+g+f+E+D+c+c+d+d+E+C+d+d+d+d+E+F+E+D+C As the fragrant David Moore has pointed out, *someone* also wrote one for Ericsson's, it's in the archives, so don't feel left out. These have come via a tortuous route and may be garbled. Probably easier to send me your mobile phone number and I'll zap them to you. Get *them* to zap them to you, sorry. All I ask in return for the 12p is a smutty text message back to make my toes curl. And if you're within hearing range of a member of the band, and your embarrassed fumbling explanations that it's "ironic" fail to impress, and you try and blame it on me, then I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about. Oh I may not be able to send text messages to some US phones, because electrons are sometimes like that.

The title song on this EP is taken from the forthcoming long- player "Swansong For You". Its dark, baroque atmosphere plays host to harpsichord, cello and violins, whilst philosophising on the potential disaster that comes from living with the world's most perennial four letter word. 'Going Home', 'October's Sky' and 'Hold Back A Thousand Hours' were recorded with Domino maverick Bill Wells at East Kilbride Arts Centre in the late spring.

you all won't believe this, but i was in a little hole-in-the-wall bar in munich germany and heard the entirity of "boy with the..." it was incredible. i have never heard b&s outside of my car and my room. it was sooooo great. sitting around playing cards and drinking a few and all the sudden... beauty coming out of the speakers. it was grate. i found out today that for one of 9 classes that i am taking i have to write a 30 page paper and do a 30 min presentation before the end of the term. this wouldn't be so bad, but german is not my native language. english is. this is going to suck!!! oh well. i will manage somehow. well... i don't want to waste your time with a whole lot of crap. hope all are well. n|ck.g _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: Mr. Simpson, please do not offer my god a peanut!
by Neil Milton 23 Oct '00

23 Oct '00

Hi guys, most of you won't have a damn clue who I am, but I thought that after being accused <grin> of being a lurker on the list, I would show my face and reply to a couple of emails recently sent. Firstly, if I remeber correctly, it's generally a good idea to have a bit of B+S content in emails so here goes... Has anyone seen the piano book for FISHYCLAPS (or is that term outdated now and I have to type the oh-so-boring FYHCYWLAP) and does anyone know if there is a guitar tab book? Also, on the official website there is talk of a guitar tab book with EVERY B+S song in it. Has that idea been scrapped, and the FISHYCLAPS book taken its place, or is that book still likely to be released. The reason I'm asking is that even though Troika (my 1st Band) is a little too punky to play B+S songs as surprise covers at gigs, I'm thinking of starting a rather twee 'side project' (oh, very muso!!!!) called 'the cupcakes' or some other intensely twee name, and we'll play some b+S songs at gigs. Can anyone help? Anyway, moving on... I'm gutted that Jason has left us... I know he says he won't but I bet he comes back one day... I'll send a virtual wink whenever he does :o) A really true friend who doesn't have any hidden agenda like a couple of my other so-called-friends... You Know Who You Are!!!! (although none of them are on this list so the last comment was a bit pointless!) HAPPY BIRTHDAY.... to both Andy (our singer), Paul (our Drummer) and belatedly (although I spent most of her birthday with her) to Amy Jackson!!!!! Yes Idlewild was excellent!!! In both Aberdeen and Glasgow! YOU JUST HAVE TO BE WHO YOU ARE!!!!!! OK... Troika... Thank you to both Amy and Jason for publicly praising my band. To explain a bit about us... We are melodic, punky, alternative, fresh, and fun! To date we have been compared to the following bands... Idlewild, R.E.M., The flaming lips, The Gang of Four, Joy Division, Mogwai, At the Drive In, Radiohead, The Delgados, and Seafood. If anyone is at all interested we have a website you can visit.. Http://www.troikaonline.co.uk where you can find out more... Ok, just a couple of hellos to finish off... to the following... Hello, it was nice to meet you, email me anytime... *JenOwl *the bloke she was with in Flip (sorry mate, names!!! tsk tsk tsk) *Ian Radcliffe *Ally Cook To the following... Hi, lots of love, c ya soon... *Amy Jackson *Sweetie *Jason (if he hasn't deserted us yet!) last words of the day... Read Alisdair Gray's Lanark. It is outstanding!!!! Simpsons Quote of the day... Mr Burns: I think you should leave. Immediately! Homer: Or What? You'll release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouths, and when they open their mouths they shoot bees at you! thanks for reading, cheers, Neil.x.x. ===== "he has no idea where he's at or where he's been."

Sinister: Looking For Tickets
by Kerr, David 23 Oct '00

23 Oct '00

Alright Folks **Sorry again but there is no content here** I was wondering if any of the UK listees have any spare tickets for the David Gray gig at the Glasgow Barrowlands. The October show has been pushed out until December and I would really love to get my hands on at least four tickets. Does anyone have any for sale? Or know someone who is looking to flog their tickets? I've tried at least five numbers and a few different websites today but seemingly everywhere has sold out. If anyone can help me out I would be FOREVER grateful. Please email me privately if you are able to help me. I spank you in advance Peace Out Davie +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Sunny Day with a historical face
by Jeff Burke 23 Oct '00

23 Oct '00

Hello. I'll start by announcing that this has no B&S content. that's alright tho' cause all of you U.K.-ers (not UKERS that sounds gross) get all the good gossip, so really all us yanks have to offer are anectdotes, anyways I'm going to tell you all about a show I saw last wednesday evening in Providence Rhode Island. Providence is about an hour south of Boston (which is home...) OKay I went to go see a band called Sunny Day Real Estate. Now if you're in the 23+ yearold range (yes, I'm a fogey but I haven't grown up yet...there too much living to do to grow up but I digress...) then SDRE could be a very meaningful album for you. In 1994 they put out a album called "Diary" it was one of the most powerful records you'll every hear. Emotional, angst-ridden but not in a "pearljam" was rather in a socially anomic sense. It's really a moving beautiful record. It also created a genre called Emo-core, or now just Emo. Cause it was musically based on hardcore (which i don't really hear...but..) and it's lyrical content was emotional geddit>? Emo-core. Anyways SDRE started it and in my opinion perfected it. This album Diary means alot to me. I was listening to it in my dorm room when I found out on my friends was found dead of Spinal meningitis. Track #4 "round" ..so an emotionall charged album became that much more for me.. a year or so later they came around and my best friend Luke and I were going to go see them but being at college (University for you UK-ers)and having a final exam the next day we blew it off. then the band broke up. I'd never see them play. Never hear those songs that meant so much to me live. it was very depressing. then they got back together but the lead singer had found god and was born again. He put out a solo album that was pretty tough on the ears. the edge was apparently gone. that raw nerve was covered over by faith. they put out two more albums that were good but nothing like "Diary" and I wasn't motivated to go see them again because I "knew" that they wouldn't play anything from "Diary" they weren't the same people nor in the same place. Wednesday night my friend JP called and said we're going to Providence to see SDRE we'll pick you up in hour. I said sure and went along. He'd seen them since they've gotten back together. I asked if there was any chance they'd play anything off diary and he said the two times he's seen them they've only played one song "in circles" each time. I wasn't expecting anything.. I was so wrong. they opened with "Pheurton Skeurto" a cool song with a waltz-time piano line It almost saddened me cause I figured that was the one "old song" i'd get and it wasn't "48" my favorite. they they played a newer song then he said "this is the first song I've ever written for sunny day and it's out quintessntial song, it's called 48" I admit I nearly cried. it was powerful, and the bad was so good the emotion was all still there. they seemed to really like the old songs... anyways I've rambled on. they played 6 of 11 songs off of Diary and it was the greatest thing ever.. the whole ride home I kept repeating "i never thought I'd hear those songs" I apologize for taking up space and mythologizing SDRE but sometimes a band does that to people and it's wonderful cheers have a nice day jef. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Sinister: Doings etc
by Katy Dutton 23 Oct '00

23 Oct '00

Hello everyone :) It's been sooooo long since I posted, so I thought 'Now I'm settled at Uni, why not post?'. Why not post indeed.... A few things have been going on. I went to see the Delgados the other night, who were utterly fantastic. As David says 'I can see who wears the trousers in that band now' (Emma). Very very good - I imagine lots of you went. 'Nae jaspers' - it explains a lot. Also, I went home for the first time at the weekend. I walked into Hillhead station from my halls, and just as I walked round the corner, who was staning there but Struan and Isobel. STRUAN AND ISOBEL <g> It was one of those utterly knee-quaking, heart-fluttering moments. And I had the courage to go up and speak to them (it was an opportunity not to be missed). Struan was great, lovely; Isobel looked a wee bit annoyed though, I guess I did kind of interrupt them :( SO, Isobel, if you see this - sorry for interrupting you (I'm the girl who randomly accosted you on Friday lunchtime in the leather coat). That brings my Belle and Sebastian sightings/interactions to a grand total of...wait for it...5. 5 people that is. I'm easily pleased, sorry. So, non-sequitur here: the new Hefner album. Good or pants? In my opinion, it's not matching up to their previous efforts. But, who knows - I'm going to see them on November 3rd so I guess that'll decide how I feel. Saw the tracklisting today for the Jeepster/Xfm album, and it looks fantaaaaaaaaaastic :) Anyway, I think that's enough ranting for now.

Sinister: Fires! Water! and the rest of Idles peculiar weekend...
by idleberry 23 Oct '00

23 Oct '00

Hi, There was a fire at the block on Saturday. Three fire engines. It was quite a sight to see. My flatmate alerted me to it, as I was sitting, idly in my room, watching telly. So I stepped out onto the balcony, to smell a wave of smoke. I love the smell of burning things. Three fire engines! All fully equiped with cute firemen. ;) Abi, the girl flatmate and I thought it was a shame we couldn't be rescued... As it turned out, the fire was in a flat two blocks away from mine. Same level though, and afterwards there was a stench of smoke in the corridor. It took them ages to get it under control. There was a warning tht they were going to shut off the power and stuff, which irritated me a bit. But in view of the circumstances and stuff... I guess it would have been okay. Yesterday morning, the flat windows were boarded up, and outside there was a charred pram and some melted matresses. Fortunately, as far as I know, nobody was in when it happened. Rumour as it that it was an electrical appliance that started it . Water! Woke up on Saturday morning to find puddles of water. Abi had put out some pans and things to catch the drips. Apparently it was due to the heavy rainfall on Friday night, and the electric light was removed so we didn't electrocute ourselves or anything. They came round this morning, to sort it out, I think they've already sorted out the source. I don't know what happened or why, cos this morning I was trying to avoid my alarm clock, and stay snuggled in bed. I dreamt I was in Oslo, arguing with an Oslo man, in Norwegian, about taking my clothes off, because he thought it was too warm for so many layers. I had a strange dream Saturday too. About a little boy and his mum who went to see an uncle of hers. Then they went to a graveyard, and there was an open coffin. the uncle told the little boy to look inside, and there, he saw the uncle's dead body. He returned to the uncle to tell him what he saw, and sees his mother handing over a baby. The baby was his little sister who had died. She was handing her to the uncle to look after in heaven. Got to work on essays in Norwegian yesterday, and my disertation, a creative writing piece of 5000 words. Started in English, but I'll translate it into Norwegian. Its pretty good. Complete with a plot and an ending... unusual for me... Oh, and by the way.. Its not just Glasgow that get free papers. So do Edinburgh, and Livingston. And we get them on the train too. neeh.
