December 2000 - Sinister

Sinister: Poppycock
by Lucy Alder 06 Dec '00

06 Dec '00

I'm still at work and am likely to be here as late as last night, but if I don't get these darn spreadsheets done, Cinderella can't go to the ball. It's the office Christmas party tomorrow night and it's at London Zoo. Quite how I'll manage to tiptoe round heaps of camel dung in my heels is beyond me, but unlimited champagne and the opportunity to see coworkers make fools of themselves is not to be missed. Anyway, we all need a break, don't we? So rather than attempt any Drew-style escapades, I thought I'd write to you lot. A couple of weeks ago, Julie Burchill tried to sound Important and Controversial in the Guardian by writing about grown-ups who profess to like P!O!P! and how they should leave shiny, fluffy music in the territory of teenagers. I tried not to imagine what she'd say to me (if she really cared) if she heard I, at the age of twenty-five, had acquired tickets for Britains top Saturday morning show. That's right, last weekend I went to CD:UK. We arrived at the studios at the ungodly hour of 10am and were shown into a hospitality room where they served us... cups of water. Then, they made us practice dancing to garage hits. Sober. On a Saturday morning. This was meant to warm us up. They also made us practice clapping and whooping and sounding enthusiastic. The bloke standing on the table getting us to dance/clap/whoop/sound enthusiastic then told us what a rubbish show it was going to be. We were about to enjoy performances by Madison Avenue, Oxide & Neutrino, Sugababes and S Club 7. 5ive would not be live. Slash would swear and talk about blow jobs, but his mic would be turned down, so we would miss it. Have you ever tried to dance/clap/whoop/sound enthusiastic when you really, really, really can't stand the music? It's HELL! Especially in a great big shed with only a hundred-odd people inside, swinging cameras threatening to decapitate you and a bunch of scrawny clones in cowboy hats wiggling their arses on stage. We had to dance/clap/whoop/sound enthusiastic to a very forgettable Madison Avenue song THREE times (they've recorded another two versions for future programmes, oh joy, watch out for me next week, folks). S Club 7 might not have grinned at each other quite so happily had they realised they had only half a dozen fans in the room and the rest of us were cheering their choruses because if we didn't, a chap in headphones would sneak up behind us and threaten us with violence. Dear old Important, Controversial Julie Burchill, you got it right for once. P!O!P! may look shiny and fluffy, but underneath it's made of grey old brillo pads. Or something. Thank goodness I didn't go last week. I don't think I could bear to see Kylie looking haggard and lumpy. On to other stuff... We wonder if the person masquerading as Edna Welthorpe considers himself on a literary par with Joe Orton and if he sees himself as a watchdog of public morals, a daft egotist or both :) Beat Goes On was, indeed, the name of a Sonny & Cher song, but I was just joshing when I (not Mark C) said that - it was Sonny Rich who did the version the Gents (I like that name, thank you Mr Miller) covered and I remember the All Seeing I also did it a couple of years ago. Actually, I thought the GW gig was pretty good. I didn't catch a glimpse of Isobel's bum, but I did hear a couple of bum notes. She was both sharp and flat and she knew it because I saw her wince, but I'll forgive her because when they rocked out a bit, they weren't half bad. Shame they didn't do Sister Woman - I think it would have been quite successful. I still got the feeling Bill Wells had been helping Bel with her homework though... I found the BW Trio about as dull as a theme repeated over and over again with very little variation. Oh, hang on, that's exactly what they did. People appear to be crushing on my old email address - does that mean people preferred me as I was six months ago? Should I get my hair cut? Is anybody else going to see Monica Queen at the Notting Hill Arts Club on Saturday? Juicy Lucy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: ooh, replies...
by Anthony Saunders 06 Dec '00

06 Dec '00

'ello again... to those who wrote me, thanks for welcoming me to the list, i'll be sure to reply individually soon. I just wanted to point out that my first B&S record was actually Tigermilk, which i got in december 1999, followed by TBWTAS, FYHCYWLAP, and then If you're feeling sinister... so my favorite B&S record is actually the second one i got. I am terribly fond of all of em, save for Sinister, which I guess i need to crash course on and listen to over and over again till it clicks, which is how i came to love the other three... take care, Anthony __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Everyone . Experience . Godspeed . !
by IndiRckGrl＠aol.com 06 Dec '00

06 Dec '00

Hello Sinister, I just woke up from a wonderful sleep, and a wonderful sleep it was indeed....i dream of no other but Struan! Oh yes my dear sinister boys and girls, it was such a lovely dream...I dreamt that they came to NY and played a concert at the Bowery Ballroom (I think I dreamt that since I was talking about it with my friend at the venue last night). Then I dreamt that I got to meet Struan through a friend...and he was so nice, he even came to my house to cook some soup! The whole time I was with him, I was going on about how much I loved him and his music and how much B&S meant to me, etc., Struan just smiled and hugged me and said thank you, I'm glad we have fans like you. It was *so* nice, it was actually my very first full length dream about B&S, I am extremely happy...I suppose all that talk of them last night worked out! Last night, I went and saw godseed you black emperor!, and wow, what a show it was. I never heard any of their stuff, but quite a few of my friends told me to go, and that I would really like them since I like Mogwai so much. Halfway through the first song, I was just in awe.....oh how beautiful it was. And their performance, 9 people on a small stage playing under red lights....it seemed so eerie but so very passionate. The whole time they were playing I was in love, I was in love with them on stage....with the boy with the asthma inhaler in front of me....with the girl who kept dancing next to me....and most of all my friend Chris for pretty much getting to go to the concert. I was supposed to leave at 11:00 to get home by 12:15, but I decided to stay until 12, to get home by 1:15. So, as I stayed and watched more of godspeed..and the show came to an end, it was 11:55 when I ran and got my coat then went back up to see the encore. I promised myself I would leave at 12:03 to give me half hour to get to Penn Station just in case, but after they came on, that 12:03 lead to 12:08 which lead to 12:10. Sadly, in the middle of their encore I decided that I really should go since, the next train after 12:30 was 1:46. So, I ran down to the train station to find that.....there were no trains going uptown, I needed to take a train downtown 3 stops and transfer there. This of course made me miss my train, which I was not at all thrilled about. When I got to Penn Station I went and put some money in my metro card, for the next time that I go use the subway. On my way to put more money in, I saw this guy that I met just about a year ago at his high school dance. We met off the net, and since we were the same age and both went to school relatively close, we decided to meet up at his school dance. So, we did...but we didn't really talk much after that. So there I was in Penn Station all alone at 1am in the morning without a thing to do for 45 minutes. I made myself brave enough to go up to him and say hi, and I did...and it was really nice to talk to him. We ended up taking the same train halfway home, and we got to talk about Belle & Sebastian and all sorts of indie bands we've seen in the past few months. I was extremely happy to have had the courage to go and speak to him. Finally, the stop came for us to go our separate ways, and we simply said bye to one another. I ended up getting home at 2:20 and went straight to bed since I was so very tired. So, here I am writing to you, before I run off to school....my I don't think I could be any happier right now and wow, it has been quite awhile that I've felt the way I do right now. Now, all you wonderful sinister boys and girls with impeccable taste, go see godspeed you black emperor! The moment you have the chance. They are truly something wonderful that everyone deserves to go experience. -Melissa +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the western tradition from socrates to saussure
by alix campbell 06 Dec '00

06 Dec '00

hello i'm only writing because i had to queue for a good 10 minutes before i got on the computer and now i want my tuition fees worth. a third of which, incidentally i have had to pay. i rang up the council the other day to see what the hell they were playing at. after 15 minutes of being put on some weird kind of hold where this woman kept saying 'engaged, want to wait?', i was put through. apparently my parents haven't been stamped, and the form will be sent back to them. i'm not entirely sure that my parents have the right stamp either. anyway, i got off the phone, ran loudly upstairs so i could slam a door, threw stuff everywhere (i have yet to locate where i threw my pens, i am down to one biro) and swore liberally. then stopped. ally reminded me of that mental bus driver. i'm telling you, she gave me the fear. she argued with the elderly about their tickets! you can't argue with the elderly, it's not on. there's following procedure and there's being absurdly strict. she was not open to pursuasion. i have always hoped that should i be stranded i would be able to talk my way onto public transport using some wiles that i must have stashed away somewhere. she dashed those plans, for sure. oxford was very nice, if incredibly cold. when i lived there, it was warm, i'm sure. even in winter. the high definitly wasn't some kind of picturesque wind tunnel. my mum had brought a scarf out for me though. we went to the pub, we being lucy, ally, steve, glampam and liz, and out of politeness and a sense of masochism i invited my parents and brother along. there was a lovely big fire in a metal bin type thing so we could sit outside, and eat and drink and explain frottage to my dad. sorry liz. he's run out of drugs apparently and refuses to buy any more due to the extortionate price. it's no excuse, i know. ken said: >Again I hug all of you, you bunch of sweet pies. :) which i misread as 'sweet piss'. is piss sweet? i've got a bloody awful headache, i got up in the morning, which is a bad start to any day, then actually went to my lectures. true i was an hour late to one of them, but it's the thought that counts. not that i did much thinking. Ozma said: >Call me Ozma. My favorite Monopoly piece is the iron (i felt sorry for it) it is a rather pitiful piece and indeed a rather wonderful aspect with which to introduce oneself. i mean, not that anyone introduces themselves using an iron, but the idea. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. i mean, i know what i mean. argh. linguistics is doing me nut in. meaning this, meaning that, i am tempted to think that it's all meaningless. brierliar said: >Sorry to send you all into temporary phonetic confusion....... it's permanent for me. i don't think i'll ever hear things the same way. damn tertiarty education. ah shit, i've been in here hours. it looks like rain, i need to go shopping. yellow brick looks luminious. i think i am in a flight path here. will write again in a few years time lixi.x _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.

boo!!! i don't know if this present exchange thingy makes you all feel good about yourselves but from my point of view you people are really sinister... i didn't manage to get a ticket for the gentle waves concert last week because YOU people got all of them first!!! however i already have a ticket for the trembling blue stars which also makes me a bit sinister since there aren't any tickets left (at least on ticketweb) yesterday i had my first b&s experience in london (that is except in my bedroom). i've probably not been in the right places... well my first b&s experience in london was in a cinema. i walked in and fox on the snow was playing. in fact the whole IYFS was on the stereo because more tracks followed...it was really nice and made me happy... that was all, hope i didn't bore you to death, nikos "at least she may forgive me for my honesty", b&s "noone will love you for your honesty", magnetic fields +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: puffing for balloons to rise
by Kenneth P Y Chu 06 Dec '00

06 Dec '00

Hello! Hmm I haven't posted for a while until suddenly when my life starts to get really overwhelmed with work and I don't have much time for posting, I'm posting like, loads! It is surely the "Freetime/ Sinister posting inverse phenomenon".. At least I'm now a true B&(k)S fan. I am very glad that Jeff has discovered the delights of the Vodka and Red Bull. Yes oh how the Red Bull complements the Vodka so well, sweet on bitter, bitter on sweet, the coma of vodka is what the Red Bull energy meets. Oh Vodka and Red Bull you make me feel so right, oh Vodka and Red Bull you make me stay up all night, where in the world is there a prettier sight, than the sight of the Red Bull with Vodka spiked. There was an advisory poster in my University hall saying that when you go out to this vodka and red bull night, you have to beware of your drinks being spiked because there had been incidences where things went really wrong, but I can imagine all these people now going "Oh noooooo! My Red Bull is spiked with vodka!" Hehe that'd be (not that) funny really. You know how Red Bull keeps you awake and away from bed, if you turn the initial letters of the word Red Bulls around, you get "Bed Rules!", which is almost Red Bull backwards in meaning and in spelling. Grate, huh? I can't claim credits for this remarkable discovery tho because it was found by the lovely yogurt eater in the park Joan of Dark who now gets the full marks. Red Bulls also make you dance all night, and what better way to dance than in a radical, revolutionary style known as Dance Dance Revolution style? There has been talks about what B&S songs to be made into a DDR dance routine, well, what can be better than "Like Dylan in the Movies", apart from being a class song it also has a bit where it stops, offbeats and guitar solo(ette)s. However to be honest what really should happen is for a DDR B&S Mix to be created, with all your favourite B&S tunes on it, that'd be G!R!A!T!E and it'd be soooo much money because I'll be on it like, all day. Ooo ooo guess what I'm doing tonight? I'm seeing T E R R O R V I S I O N! Oh yes and they're going to be GRATE! Woohoo :-))))) Vodka dances and Red Bulls!

Sinister: Now Winter's Spread Its Wings Again
by Brian Pennington 06 Dec '00

06 Dec '00

Hello Sinister, Ah I have been itching to post for days now. Ever since Peter Miller and his comment about knockers. I still don't know how I manage to make my way into your posts, Peter. I feel as though I am part of history. Or at least something really amusing. My aim is to make this post as short and sweet as the piano bit at the end of Judy Is a Dick Slap. I love that ending. It makes me think of a warm winter day inside, wrapped up in the steam from the radiator, time moving by at just a few frames per second, reading a book in a big armchair. And Felt. I adore Winter the way most people seem to adore Summer. The great big coats, the crystalline snowy nights, trudging about breathing hot vapor like a steam vent, sitting by a crackling fire. And most of all, the snow drifting out of the sky. The effect is best where lights jut into the sky and illuminate the flakes closest to them, such as in a parking lot. There is something about the chill air that seems to clarify everything, just as hazy summer days seem to sap my energy. I love the first day of Fall that you can feel a cool breeze. I live for that day year-round. An odd thing I noticed the other day. It's about the Jeepster Discussion Boards. It's sort of a strange phenomenon, I wonder if I ought not to bring it up. It may unsettle you all. Well, the thing is, there are places where people actually...discussbelleandsebastian....there I've said it. You can't take something like that back. It's all a bit strange, and yet oddly familiar. Alright I think I drove that home enough. I wouldn't have it any other way, I enjoy reading about trying to increase the size of movie stars' knockers and having a moment by the Hudson River too much to have another way. It's just sort of interesting to note how tangentially we really talk about B&S. So Lisa Morrisson was saying something of how she felt she was the only listee who could bridge the gap between hard and soft like some latterday musical Colossus of Rhodes (not to be confused with a large electric organ). Hum hum hum, but I happen to have been thinking about this a bit lately, having made the acquaintance of someone to whom B&S is far too soft. But I think the hard/soft argument is seeing things too black and white when music is all about the shades of grey. Sure, maybe someone might be able to simultaneously like soft and hard music, but can they deal with anything with a dance beat? That's instrumental? That involves shakers or the word "samba" repeeatedly? I rest my case, however shakily. My e-mail program has taken upon itself to rate e-mails on a basis of how many virtual chili peppers they contain. This post, believe it or not, for all its mundanity, contains no less than three small red chili peppers. When I try to send it my e-mail program warns me that it may cause me to have to wash my mouth out with soap. To put things in perspective, Peter Miller, Lisa and Chrstiaan Chris Lampinen all had some three-pepper posts. But other than that they seem pretty rare, at least in my inbox. And initially this surprised me because this post really isn't that smutty. But then I looked back up there. I guess without intending to do so, I've touched upon the subjects (figuratively of course) of knockers, dick slaps and most importantly, the wide world of electric organs. If I were in #sinister maybe I'd get a tart point. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how much my week has been improved by purchasing the new Clientele and Stars CDs. They stand by my side at work every day, battling ennui. Mmm, I probably had more things to say but to do so would risk seeming even the slightest bit short and sweet, so I will pretend like I meant to stop right here. -- Brian Pennington, aka Mick McMick | cellophanesky(a)mac.com | ICQ# 39021436 Sandcastle Records: <http://www.indiepages.com/sandcastle/> the Cellophane Sky:<http://home.earthlink.net/~cellophanesky/the/index.html> "Better a tear of truth than smiling lies." - Duncan Browne +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

hello left handers something occurred to me whilst reading Anthony Saunders' mail everybody's favorite belle and seb record seems to be the one they heard first. personally i consider '...feeling sinister' as *my* album as no one else i knew had heard of b&s when i got hold of it and it got me through my gcse exams (i went through a phase of listening to it every night on my walkman and wore the tape out and had to get the cd) the two latest albums didn't really *do* it for me, if you know what i mean, but i adore tigermilk coz a friend bought it fo my for my birthday this year, on vinyl too, i suppose b&s records hold sentimental value for me more than other bands, they're not my favorite band in the world (well, equal 2nd and definately in my top 5) but i love them for different reasons to other bands and they are very, very special to me. did this ramble have a point? mail me if yiu can figure one out. don't you think 'i fought in a war is just so incredibly sad? people always ask me why i listen to melancholy, down music but i find it all amazingly uplifting and it helps me get through when shit is getting *me* down so i suppose it all goes round in circles. i think i'll give 'fold your hands...' another go and learn to love it. incedentally 'fold your hands...' reminds me of charles de gaulle airport in paris where i had a 2 hour wait between planes on my way to barcelona last month and i listened to FYHCYWLIP whilst sitting in the departure lounge and it'll forever remind me of that. CDG airport is the one on the front of the new U2 album. someone mentioned customising badges from boring crap to something you can wear, i took this on board today and changed a badge i had picked up a a lo fidelity allstars/regular fries gig with 'sneaker beaters' written on it and stuck on with sellotape the words 'on the leeds side-streets that you slip down,' this is for my aforementioned friend, cathy, who has moved to leeds for uni so i think it's kinda appropriate. on our way to the leeds festival this year cathy (how come cathy and leeds are recurring themes her?) and me saw some cows on a hillside so she sand 'punctured cows, on a hillside desolate' and we spent the rest of the journey singing smiths songs but changing vital bits to the word cow, it's grate fun, you should try it. cow in a coma if a double decker cow, kills the both of us reel around the cow this charming cow see? hours of fun bit tired now think i'll go to bed see ya cats of all ages pez* _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
