i think i am obsessed with the Powderpuff Girls. i was in Target the other day (*heaven on earth*) and just about cleaned out their Powderpuff Girls stock. i got stickers, drinking cups, notebooks, a day planner, pens... i'm telling you, it was a goldmine! did you know that they were made by combining a beaker-full of sugar, spice, and everything nice with Chemical X? that darned Professor Utonium, what a kook! anyway, they kick ass. and have a great hair! i'm getting muy excited about the new B&S album. now that the weather is getting warmer, i'm listening to their stuff nonstop again and i've noticed a marked change in my attitude- much for the better. and the news about an upcoming tour ain't too shabby either. i have a good feeling about this summer... lots of good records coming out, at least 3 good tours... warm weather, sexy shoes that show sexy feet... bare shoulders, weekend trips to the beach... oh, sheesh! now i'm all in a tizzy and i have 2 more months to wait! speaking of tours, someone asked about Cure shows on the east coast? My Boy and i are going to the one at merriweather post pavilion on june 17, and quite possibly the next day in NJ as well. will anyone else be attending? i'm so hungry. cough drops and Chloraseptic aren't very nutrient-rich. perhaps i should try cooking something instead?! listcrushworthy, -christa- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Here comes the sun....
by James Gilmer 29 Mar '00

29 Mar '00

Dear Sinister Siblings, The blur of winter is wearing off and spring is getting it's ass in gear finally. After suffering a brief bit of apathy and a slight dip into maudlin thoughts the arrival of LLPJ slipcase helped to hearten me, as did the arrival of several books by Harlan Ellison including a collection of his essays for the LA Free Press which rekindled my spirit and gave me a swift kick in the butt, waking me out of my winter blah induced haze that had been hanging around for about two weeks. This was mostly due to several run-ins with (in no particular order), a rabid bigot, a sexist, a homophobic moron, a pack of religious zombies, and an ex-girlfriend. However, besides LLPJ and Harlan several other things cheered me to no end. 1) American Beauty swept the awards. Which it deserved even though the Insider was a brilliant piece of filmmaking as well. 2) Hilary Swank won for "Boys Don't Cry", as she said in her speech sunday, the amazing thing is that the movie was even made (which would have been unthinkable three years ago), let alone won an award. Which just goes to show how far we've come in such a short time. 3) By September same-sex civil unions will be protected in Vermont. This is almost assured to pass despite objections from the Moral Majority Midgets, welcome to the twenty-first century, please watch your head. Though I am reminded of the many states where these legislations are being shot down and of things like the bus situation in the UK and the fact that we as a nation couldn't pass the ERA so what hope do civil unions and laws protecting equal rights for homosexuals have? 4) I spent a day at an elementary school reading Winnie -the-Pooh to fifth graders and was rewarded with a group of smart, sharp as tacks, kids who joked around with me and expressed an interest in reading. I am also going to be spending this summer working with kids as part of a day-camp program through the local community ed. 5)Thanks to those who turned me onto some very cool stuff after I mentioned that I liked B&W photography and was developing a greater appreciation for phtography as art (though to be honest, can we please avoid the what-is-art, what-is-music bits?). Having said that I hope Erica won't mind if I point out something that I thought was just brilliant, www.chickpages.com/rants/golighty/art.html I'm not sure if Erica did all that herself but I think the middle pic is amazing. There's some other brilliant pics on her site, especially the London pics. Of course, I can look at pics of dog turds if they're b&w, I just love it. Idiot of the day: "Darwinism equals Communism"- bumper sticker at MSU...no, I'm not making that up. I'm not sure where I'm going with this one so bear with me, though I do promise actual B&S content and a bit of it to boot. This will prolly end up longish, so apologies about that. Oh, I may spout off odd quotes at times...I apologize in advance, I'm feeling verbose today... "Sure, I'm a vegitarian, but I'd kill a cow in a New York minute for a cool looking jacket"- Bobcat Goldwaite Nothing really to say about the above, just that I wanted to share that. Also, the fact that if I'd love to be a vegitarian...but, I just likes the meat too much. *sigh*, I guess there are no morally pure positions in the world. Onto the B&S stuff then; The new album. I'm excited. It's a new Bell and Sebastian album (plus we have the promise of a new Delgados album this year too, what? not listening to the Delgados? Run out and buy Peloton right now and pick up "the Virgin Suicides" by AIR while you're at it) so of course I'm excited. As to the whole idea of "retro-sixties", jeez, does it really matter? I'm of the mind that B&S is in part descendent from those folk-rock roots anyways. Retro? It doesn't parse for me, the titles and look of the album still owe to where B&S have been. If it is retro-sixties it is in the idea that B&S are musical descendents of the folk groups of the sixties in the same way that rock of the fifties grew out of skiffle and country/westen and blues/jazz. You'll pardon me but I get in a slight sniff when the term retro is used as a pejorative. Which it can be pejorative in the same way 'camp' is. When people today try and do camp they usually make a fine mess of it in the same way people who *try* to 'do' retro stuff end up with a lackluster product. But there's a difference between "retro" and simply playing folksy music with a semblance of sixties nostalgia. But I don't think we are seeing anykind of concentrated effort to produce a retro-album with "Fold Your Hands Child.." (am i the only one who can't do the abreviation?), instead I think they are building on what they've done before in the same way "Sinister" and "Boy with the..." did from "Tigermilk". Will it be a new sound? Maybe, as Mike said (in far fewer words and much better than I) "There's only so long you can keep doing the same thing". It remains to be seen if the album is as strong as previous efforts, but I've got faith. "I write to remind you that you are not alone, we are all in the same skin, all heirs to the terrors and wonders of simply being human"- Harlan Ellison The Ep slipcase: Dare I say brilliant? Oh, I've heard them all before on mix tapes supplied by my Sinister siblings, but now I have them in CD format for my very own enjoyment and all for $17. I went into the local Harmony House (which kinda stinks in comparison to my usual haunts at Wazzo in Ann Arbor or Tower) and asked if they had it. To my suprise the women knew exactly what I wanted and even commented that one of the girls that worked there had been looking to buy their other copy and that they had sold another copy of the set earlier that day. (My friend Bryan submits that he had a similar experience in Tower in Ann Arbor. He was looking for something to get me and asked the girl at the counter if she knew who the spin-off groups from B&S were. She rattled off a long bit about Looper and Gentle Waves and B&S and how "absolutlely fucking brilliant" they were and he should buy every album by all of them. He ended up getting me Looper, which I already had but anyways, and buying Tigermilk for himself which he absolutely loves now) The MSU radio station, the Impact 88.9 continues to play B&S on a regular basis and I've also caught them on "Brave New Waves" which I dimly pick up from somewhere in Canada. A rather brilliant show to as anyone who's heard it should know. Judy: Well, our little girl's all grown up now isn't she? Went from dreaming of horses to pharmaceuticals to the dickslapping. Hmmmm, we had such high hopes for that one too. Not sure if I need an extended dickslapping though, the regular version should be quite enough for me thank you very much. "It is precisely at their worst that human beings are most interesting" - HL Mencken Non-B&S stuff: A book store in my little Michigan town was picketted last week. It's a little New Age store that sells incense and tarot decks and books on meditation and philosophy and Wicca and the like. About thirty people stood outside and prayed for it's closure and then went inside for over an hour and informed the owners in stern but soft voices that they were going to hell and that their satan worship wouldn't be tolerated in our town. The television news caught wind of the story and ran it as; "Churches protest Satanic Bookstore". I shouldn't even have to mention that there wasn't anything remotely satanic about the shop, that it was just a regular New Age shop that had some overpriced incense and power stones and a few tarot decks and some books on meditation and Wicca and Buddism that normally I'd give a rat's ass about but decided to check into since the stink was going on. Sorry, but I wanted to share that because I think it's sad that some people forget just what the First Amendment means and that people like that reverand managed to instill the FEAR into thirty people and have them 'praying' that a store would close. WWJD? He'd run the hell away from people like that. It's the twenty-first century and we still have the specter of the witchhunts over our heads. It is with much pleasure that I learned that many, like myself, were spurned to action by this and have in fact increased traffic at the store by coming in and spending money there as a form of counter-protest. I'm also heartened by the fact that the overwhelming majority of people wrote into the local paper in defense of the store and its right to be there. Books and such: Anything single book or collection of stories or essays by Harlan Ellison. "Dead Girls" and its sequels by Richard Caulder are mad novels about sex, death, fashion, living clothing, pop psychology and other fun subjects set in a cyberpunk universe by way of Alice in Wonderland. "High Fidelity" which has already been mentioned by others but needs to be mentioned again because it's just *that* brilliant. Oh, and "Empire of the Sun" by JG Ballard because it's so beautiful and tragic and told with much humility and humanity. That's all for now, "Goodbye Rag! Goodbye Tag! Goodbye Bobtail!" Be Sinister Children..... Jim (who's mood is much improved thank-you-very much) "...a young boy takes a feather out of his mouth"- Jeff Noon, "Vurt" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2000 17:59:33 +0100
by Chris_t_opher 29 Mar '00

Hello I've decided to sit down (makes a change) and write something. Kenneth said::: "One of my friends is really uptight about all these things, he would hate a "townie" to guts even if that guy hasn't done anything wrong.. but I actually quite admire townies in a way that they can go to a really bad nightclub and has a good time, which surely shows great tolerance... but I don't like those who thinks that they have to wear Ben Sherman shirts to stay alive." Firstly, virtually all townies have done something wrong. They're abusive, obnoxious, impolite and too obsessed with themselves to be nice people. If i left that paragraph there, i'd get loads of replies saying im stereotyping. So, i will add that there are probably a few townies who are ok. I've just never met one. Secondly, i like bad nightclubs. Only when i'm drunk, mind. I'm just amused by bad dancing. Whenever i go out with friends, townies nearly always want to fight us because we do t o w n i e d a n c i n g. You should try it. Just pretend you're describing (with the use of your hands only) a big fish, a smaller fish, two cars colliding and then a small fish again. If you want a demonstration, you'll have to meet me. Oh, and Ben Sherman shirts. I've never had one cos they're not designed for me. They're designed for short, slightly overweight townies with very short legs. The *anti-me*, you could say! I was think yesterday (makes a chance (again)). I think that girls go on dates more than boys. And i think i know why. Firstly, girls are more attractive (sorry damo). But more importantly, there are more shy boys who'd never ask girls out on dates than vica versa. So, the boys who do have to confidence to ask girls out get loads of dates with loads of different girls. But, shy boys dont want to ask girls out. And because it is (traditionally custom) for boys to ask girls out on dates, these boys dont get many offers. The only way they do end up on dates is if they are really really deeply in love and dont feel any embarrassment or if they get asked out by girls. I cant remember the last time i heard about a girl asking a boy out on a date tho. Maybe it's because people around here are so repressed. Or maybe this is the standard formula for "girls+boys+dates". Anyway, my mind is back in my head so dont be affraid. Someone who shall remain anonymous said::: "I first fell in love with B+S when I read the story on the inside cover of Tigermilk. It was as if their happiness at finding each other was somehow my own, and even if their music had been terrible (which it is certainly not!) I would have loved them just for telling me their story." Have we got ANOTHER winner? If you're reading this, dear, email me. Also, people seem to have started using mIRC commands in their sinister post. /me thinks this is utterly pointless and hopes it will stop soon. <ENTER> Tweelyrics. That's me done for a while..... Chris_t_opher PS. Anyone know the broadcast date for the new Peel Session? Knowing my luck, i probably missed it. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Yum yum yum, chomp chomp chomp. > News just in - > I'm going to All Tommorows Parties. I'm so excited, I can't > wait to stand on the seafront. Hmm.. visions of Emily Lloyd flashing her knickers in 'Wish You Were Here'. You don't want to end up like her, clinging onto a fading star, making occasional appearances in films that no one sees and being Cynthia Payne. Glad to hear you're coming though Erica. Is someone going volunteer to collect a list of everyone on the list who's going, like last time? I'm not. Sigh, was it really a year ago that we were an angry mob demanding that Katrina clarify whether we could take plastic bottles of vodka into the site or not? Mark C: > Which reminds me, I don't think I bigged up Youn for sending me a Venn >diagram of Catholics, homosexuals, uncle Tom Cobbley and all, which won the >prize even though (or perhaps because) I couldn't figure out what the hell >was going on. More maths in pop. To anyone who was wondering, as far as I am aware 'bigged up' is not a recognised piece of English vernacular. I think Mark's trying to talk tough. My flatmate has not been allowed to forget the time his retort to a minicab driver asking for an extortionate fare: "You're shitting me!". Anyway, yes. More maths in pop. Jim G: >>I'm excited.

The folksy thing is what comes naturally to them and it's wonderful. But as you say, "there's a difference between "retro" and simply playing folksy music with a semblance of sixties nostalgia." The latter is great, the former not so great. There's a *danger* that in striving to evolve their sound, broaden their horizons and escape whatever labels they've been given, bands don't evolve from within but instead look to emulate 'cooler', fuller styles from the records they admire in pop history. This tends to produce records that sound nice and shiny but ultimately don't matter as much. There's a fine line between absorbing influences and wearing them on your sleeves. That's all. I'll shut up now.

Sinister: a "nice" story
by elenita99 29 Mar '00

29 Mar '00

Hello List, Well, I still can't understand why Tigermilk is always fresh and bright as a spring morning, even after listening it 10000000 times, but anyway that is no the point. I was thinking today about how I discovered B&S, it was a "coincidence day", so i thought I tell you about it. So it was about 2 1/2 years ago, one of my friend brought me to Helene's flat, a girl I didn't know at all. (tiny coincidence, if you translate my name it's the same as hers) Anyway, we were here sitting, drinking a bit and blablating, when she played IYFS on her stereo. I found it good, and as she was nice and the first impression was good for both of us, she left me the CD cos she was out the next day for a week of holiday. And...she was killed by a car two days later while crossing a street. I didn't know her, but it was a bit of a shock, well she was 18 like I used to, and I suppose that kind of thing is always a bit of a shock... I didn't know her or her family or boyfriend or whoever, so IYFS stayed with me and that was the beginning of my B&S addiction. It sounds a bit "brrr" and unusual, I know, but well that's what happened... last thing: I would be glad to receive by email any ideas and places for going out in London (is this my first list abuse? I hope not but if it is I'm sorry :), as I am quite new around here...thanks!! Oh and Jason, answering your question, I lost my virginity with Ben Harper's firts album "welcome to the cruel world", which is quite a good title to do it I think.

Sinister: Mum and Dad and Uncle Bill don't realise
by Mark Casarotto 29 Mar '00

29 Mar '00

Yesterday, /me bought not one, not two, but THREE swinbeat/r'n'b type singles yesterday. What's happening to me? I even felt the need to make excuses at the counter - at least I had Joni Mitchell and Hefner to give a bit of perspective into my warped musical taste. Okay, one was "No Scrubs" which is one of the finest songs of the last 10 years, but the other two...A prize (okay, a guest list spot at the next Peasantfolding, as I've just this minute renamed Sinister's top P!O!P! extravaganza) for the first person to guess what they are... Which reminds me, I don't think I bigged up Youn for sending me a Venn diagram of Catholics, homosexuals, uncle Tom Cobbley and all, which won the prize even though (or perhaps because) I couldn't figure out what the hell was going on. More maths in pop! My first cup of coffee tastes like overpriced corporate heaven in a cardboard mug. Not Starbucks though. Okay, hardcore book recommendation (which I think I've suggested before, but Laura quoting Steve quoting Zardoz reminded me) - "Orlando Furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto. Okay, so it's a thousand pages of densely-packed medieval Italian poetry (so Lucy Alder'll be okay then), but if you can find an English prose translation, you'll be overwhelmed and amazed and astonished in equal measure. It's like every tale of magic and chivalry ever, all intertwined into a narrative which resembles a bloated, magnificent soap opera, only with more blood. There's a lot of blood. For the Belle and Sebastian fans among you, it's a bit like an epic medieval Italian courtly version of "I could be dreaming". Yay! Jessica and Jygsaw Dave are back!

Sinister: its a long, long way down
by Scampi 29 Mar '00

29 Mar '00

Talking about the age thing, I think that the most depressing age is 21. I happened to find a biology text book under a bench in victoria coach station once, and as I had to wait another hour for the coach, had read all the 'london to wherever you want to go to, for less' leaflets and was generally extremely bored, I started to turn the pages, as you do. I definitely wouldn't recommend the book for inclusion in the bookshop. Anyway, there was a section at the front of the book which was entitled "Amazzzzing facts about YOU!" and it said that the age of peak sexual performance for men was 21, so at this moment in time I should be in the prime of my existance - it is a downhill slope from now on. I should be dancin' and a romancin' all the time at the moment, cus tomorow I will be geriatric. How miserable is that? From what I could gather, the only positive thing about being older than 21 is that you have still got another 3 years to go on your young persons railcard, and you can stand for parliment - hooray! That makes it all better then. love and pensions, scampi.x +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

I have seen an A&E special on Audrey Hepburn though. can you believe that Jennifer Love Hewitt is going to play Ms Hepburn in an upcoming biopic? quoth Huey << magpie told me that since u never know anything until u're past 18, i'm technically speaking, only 2. the difference is that when i was 12, i never felt like a kid, and never dreamt of being 20, but now that i'm 20, i'm aware that i feel like a kid and i always dream of being 12.>> magpie reminds me of a crow. And I like crows. They are my totem animal. However I advise you to disregard the magpie's advice in this case. I know less now than I used to. And I'm 20 also. You're right, it's an uneventful birthday. At least when I turned 18 I listened to that Alice Cooper song as soon as I woke up. There aren't many songs for the twenties, are there? Think of it as the Roaring Twenties.
