Sinister: Nick Drake
by Tony Charles Green 22 May '00

22 May '00

I got a chance to see 'A Skin Too Few', the Nick Drake documentary recently. What struck me most initially was the footage of Nicks room which looked like it hadn't changed since his death. Then right at the end one of his home recordings which really spooked me. I think Island are planning to release it as part of a reissued box set later in the year, and next month the 12 Bar is organising a Nick Drake Tribute Concert to celebrate what would have been his birthday. Its nice to see him finally reaching the people he so desperately wanted to mean something to during his life.

Sinister: Belle and Sebastian | Kathryn Williams | Cat Power
by Tony Charles Green 22 May '00

22 May '00

RIOT ON Belle and Sebastian have added their support to anti-capitalist protesters who hit London on May Day according to the crunch bunch... http://www.crunch.co.uk/news/2000/alt/05/18_belleseb_anticap_t.shtml photos of the press conference: http://www.crunch.co.uk/news/2000/alt/05/belleseb/1.shtml LITTLE BLACK NUMBERS Kathryn Williams' new album is supposedly very good. While I can't make out the Belle and Sebastian or Nick Drake comparisons that the press pitch into very profile of her (including this weekends Telegraph) , her voice is sublime. I tell people to try and imagine crystal spring water tumbling through alpine air and her live cover of Leonard Cohens "Hallelujah" always gives me goosebumps. GRAND DAY OUT Lovers of the lo-fi likes of Smog might like to listen to SAVOY GRAND. Their Dirty Pillows EP is a great little intro to them. Love the sideburns too chaps. T.

Sinister: Poetry and music and some laughs
by stephen hewitt 22 May '00

22 May '00

Oooooh, my aching thighs... *steve makes a mental note "never ever attempt to play football again" I should have realised when i was gasping for breath by the time i got to the top of greenwich hill (groan, yes another picnic post) that footy was out of the question, but a few cans of john smiths can do strange things to a young boy's sense of judgement. Anyway a lovely time was had by all, as you may have gathered, nice to meet friends, just as nice to make new ones. So on we eventually went to 2000 troubled teenagers, which was ACE. Unlike some of these city folk with their fancy "indie discos", some of us very rarely get to hear our fave band played through large speakers and certainly not every four or five songs. This may go some way to explaining my somewhat exuberant dancing, or it could be that i was as pissed as a fart, you decide. However, it goes no way to explaining why i was slow dancing with a particular (male) list member who will remain nameless (but still very obviously gay and crap at pool :)) i do have some photos but i haven't quite finished the film, so it may be some time until they see the light of day (although following the first line of this post I'll have to use some of it up taking pics of my thighs). I also claim the record for sleeping with the most sinisterines at once. I'm not quite sure how many of us were in martin, matt, geoff and rich's lounge (thank you once again for your hospitality gentlemen), or, in fact, how many of us actually got any sleep, but it was at least 7 or 8. Well, as i've been asleep almost constantly since i got back, i haven't really got any more news, except that mrs carsmile reckons Struan looks like "a young Steve McQueen" in the Legal Man vid. And the new album is definately a grower, and good for listening to on buses, inevitably. xoxo CarsmileSteve +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Exam stress. Its my own fault really.
by idle berry 22 May '00

22 May '00

Been listening to B+S all weekend. Its the only thing that I can use to take my frazzled little brain off the thought of the year... Ex-ams. Well, Nice to know I'm not going to be alone when I have to resit my exams. I haven't even taken them yet, but I fear I might be doing resits. Why oh why oh why did I choose this daft subject? I never really liked foreign languages. Well, at least I know I don't want to do anything more with languages when I graduate! If any of you don't know, I'm doing Norwegian. And tomorrow is the first exam. A scary nasty exam,scarier than listening to Mogwai, after watching a horror film in your house, on your own, where things go bump in the dark and you're in bed. I have to translate Norwegian (50% mark cos its my honours language) Danish and Swedish (25% of the mark each) into English. All I know, is its going to take three hours, and that I don't get a dictionary, and that its based on detective novels. Its quite a daunting thought, and my stomach is churning like a washing machine on spin. I don't really know where to begin with revision for it either. I am dreading it. I really am. I feel like a lamb to the slaughter. What if it all goes wrong? do I start wibbling my lips and stick my pencil up my nose and plead insanity? No theres a thought.... What if I don't pass? Its too scary to think about. What the hell was I thinking when I sent in that UCAS form all those years ago? I need to pass. I really do. I have one more year left at uni, and I so want to get out, with a little dignity intact and a degree. I don't care right now what grade it is. Afterall, my main concern isn't involving a job with languages. I think I fancy a job where I can speak, talk and write English. I've been studying languages since I was 12. I'm 21 now. Time for a break from it. And don't even think of giving me support. I really am very very crap at languages. Still, at least its not Nynorsk (Norways other official lanaguage, spoken by a minority...), or synomynynynyns. And god, am I panicking. After this, everything else is easy. Welfare state of Scandinavia? a cinch. The UN and Nato in Scandinavia? easy as pie. The second World War in Norway? pah! The language and the press ideology, of them and us? do it in my sleep. Meanwhile, studying isn't quite going as planned. Ended up playing my guitar instead, and played it over the phone to a friend in Cardiff, at which point he said it was very good, (ahh!) and we decided to form a band. How we shall reherse over the phone, I do not know. But we swapped chords and things, and hes working on my ideas, and when I feel ready, I might do the same with his. who knows? Got a name too. After my second favourite chocolate bar. Fir Klover. Its all one word, but I didn't want any sniggers from you at the back (and you Honey! no protesting innocense!) calling it Firk lover. Oh, bliemy, this is all too much. Love, Idles. ===== http://www.geocities.com/idleberry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Legal Man will sound good in the sun
by Mr Smiley 22 May '00

22 May '00

Hi, OK so I'm pretty sure I was the first (only?) person in Worksop to buy Legal Man. It was 10 past 9, when I got there, but I had to do my hair first you know. It takes a lot of time and gel to get it to look like I've just got out of bed. I suppose over the coming week we'll all have to endure lots of people saying "I bought Legal Man, it's great!!", so I don't see why I should be any different. Legal Man: My least fave on the single, but it gets better every time I play it (and considering that the EP is on repeat play it should be a classic by lunchtime) I wish I could remember what the Eurotrash theme sounds like. JIADS: It's very good, although I don't think it *should* be extended. Because that would be boring (what with it being an instrumental). It does sound like it's come from a Velvet Underground rarities disc. Winter Wooksie: Is the best track here. Lovely. Right that's that over with. Now I'm going to talk about my life to stretch this out a bit. Hmm, well I have my first exam tomorrow, so I shouldn't be writing this should I? [Mike gets worried]. Oh yeah, and today a letter came for my dad, well it was addressed to the exors of my deceased granddad, about sorting out said granddad's gas bill. On the front of the envelope it said "Say farewell to the standing charge - it's the last time you'll see it", which strikes me as a silly thing to put on an envelope you're going to send to the relatives of a deceased customer. Well, I'm on the second play of JIADS since I sat down, so I guess that must be about 15 minutes.

Sinister: favor
by mattwardfhnn＠hotmail.com 22 May '00

22 May '00

I'm constructing a mixed cd for the girlfriend of a friend, who, poor dear, likes top-40 music. Anyway, Belle and Sebastian will be on the cd, since they represent all the is good, indie, and twee. Here's where you kids come in. What song do you think either a) best represents the band, or b) would be most likely to appeal to a top 40 person? Feel free to reply to me personally, or post to the list if you're feeling brave or important. Thanks to all for help fighting the good fight.

Sinister: please find me somebody to live
by Michael Simanoff 22 May '00

22 May '00

Hi all -- first post. I'm a B&S fan in the heart of New York CIty, home of some decent music and three restaurants for every set of lips. OK, so there's a lot of talk about the new album, and this has been done to death BUT. I've taken to not judging, because while I loved Tigermilk and Sinister and all the little EPs at first listen, I really didn't like TBWTAS when I first heard it. Why, don't know why. But after a few more listens I soon began to consider that it might even be The Best. The only song I immediately liked (Sleep the Clock Around) is now my least favorite song on the album. Maybe the group is maturing, diversifying, experimenting, but I think it's all going fine. I mean, the way Space Boy Dream goes into Dirty Dream #2, I love that. About the popularity argument -- I'm not going to get into my own personal opinions, cuz I don't really have any, but I do chuckle when I realize that pop no longer means popular. I don't attach value either way to the word popular... but then again I do enjoy the irony of a pop band being unpopular, which exposes the vast machine of the music industry which promotes and rewards a lot of stuff that's just um Crap. And to add something new to the group, I just thought I'd like to say that, although I'm American, I grew up in London and my favorite song when I was growing up and glued to the telly watching Top of the Pops was that Dead or Alive song, "you spin me right round baby right round like a record baby right round round round" or something to that effect. It still echoes in my mine and I can see the lead singer from Dead or Alive, with his massive hair, sometimes in my dreams. Shudder. Oh, and I think I saw John Cale in Barnes and Noble the other day. Nice to meet you all.

Sinister: I was a teenage donkey, and look at me now!
by Martin Robinson 22 May '00

22 May '00

Hello, you are not as gay as me. But you may still be allowed to live. The weekend has been a haze of crap. Yet still the fact shines through that Matt Powell is a twat. Funny how some things never change. Thanks Alasdair Cook, who's typing with his lovely nail varnished fingers. What a big Glaswegian girl. He really is not worth listening to, is he? I mean does anyone even like him? Thought not. I, on the other hand, am a keyboard God whose every word should be recorded and left in hotel rooms instead of the bible. That Jesus was over-rated anyway. As I always say, never trust a man with a beard. Even if beards are fun. 2000 Troubled Teenagers had the surprise guests of B&S playing in the toilets. They did "Weeing on the people" and were asked never to return to the city. Which is just as well, because I've heard the next album (not the new one) "I'm shy and introspective but I still buy fish and chips", and it's rubbish. Didn't they used to be good? Today I got pissed, which is why I'm talking pish. So I'll stop now. Bye bye. Martin xx Right thanks Ally for pretending to me again, abusing him. He wishes... And pretending to be himself. It's all very odd. Ummm... the picnic in London was great. And 2000TT, after the initial entrance fiasco which I can sympathise with as they drew the line at Carsmile Steve. A good door policy if ever there was one, I mean would you want him in your house? Anyway, 2000TT was about as good as the big eccles cake I stole at the picnic, but not as good as the red slush puppie. But what could be? Apparently Ally says this email is a filler so I don't have to write anything, especially as I'm a bit jaded right now according to some weird Russian doll on #chat. Te ra, Alasdair xx P.S This has nothing to do with Jim Rockford or penguins. Which is why it's complete pish. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Get Out of the Office, & Into the Springtime
by Jarrod San Angel 22 May '00

22 May '00

"Sunshiiiine, On My Shoulderrrr, ...Makes Me Happyyyyyyyy..." - The Late, Great(?) John Denver Bongiorno, Principessas! *********************** How many of you are retail slaves or corporate workhounds? How many of you want to punch the timeclock where you punch in and out and in and out.. each and (seemingly)every live long day? Dreadful, isn't it?Is there any virtue to be found, fellow Sinisterines, in the Dilbert-esque, office cubicle lifestyle? Because that's all I've known for nearly 16 months now, and I fear I'll go absolutely mad if I don't find something worthwhile or redeeming about the work I do. Cold cash in hand and fatty foods in fridge would normally suffice as a relatively good answer, but if you're at all like me, you just can't help but keep your chin rested upon your palm, your sights fixed on what's beyond the glass window, always thinking how sweet life would be, if only it could be lived as the closing lines of Legal Man. "Get Out of the Office, & Into the Springtime, Get Out of the City, & Into the Sunshine.." Ohhh, if only. I'm rambling again. I always am. Well, the new Legal Man single shall be released to the salivating public tomorrow, and the knowledge of that is inspiring a lightness in my heart that I've got to spread. I'm really looking forward to the long walk down to the indie record shoppe, where I'll place my hard (or hardly) earned dollars upon the counter, and then take my prized possession off with me to a nearby teahouse. Like a kiddy at Christmas, I rip the cellophane wrapper off with a fearsome zeal, panting at the thought of what I'll find inside. Slowly I inspect the sleeve, noting minor details like the smell of the ink used to print it all up, and the texture of the paper used. Then comes the cherished moment of sitting back with a cup of Green & Chamomile, reading the sleeve notes and lyrics. A smile as widespread as the music itself blemishes my otherwise humourless face. It's a hallowed, all too rare event. Anyway, I'm currently working through hour number 7 here at the office. I work as an Electronic Support Account Specialist in a Customer Service Call Center for EarthLink Network, Inc., located in good ol' Pasadena, City of Roses. But lo, all is not rosey. I'm begining to resent these four walls with a sickness previously unknown to me. It's not that I'm a lazy soul, just one that needs creative and artistic fulfillment.. and I've just not seen enough of that these months. How many of you, dearest readers, are or have experienced the same thing? How does one get out of a rut like this and not sacrifice job security, financial security, and not anger the wife who wants to buy something nice at the end of the week and have her hair done? Simplify, Simplify. That's what Thoreau says. I'd love to give that a go, but I'm afraid that's what the wife would want me to do, too.. "GO!" =) I suppose I'll just do some job searching and scour the city with resumes galore. That and daydream some more. Perhaps I should become a Legal Man. Tomorrow. To Better Days....

Sinister: The High Numbers
by David Moore 21 May '00

21 May '00

Hi 1325 Troubled Whateveragers, BEFORE Sadly missed seeing Ally dressed in a selection from Lucy's wardrobe: only got to see the nail varnish later at the... GREENWICH PICNIC Which was cool (but sometimes sunny): nice (not scary) people, chat, food, booze, football, toilets (!), electrickery, flashers, fashion, photography, reminiscing over ATP photos, John Peel becoming Terence Stamp, & the first listen for some to... LEGAL MAN Ha! I told you that those wonderful people at Disques International Jeepster wouldn't be charging very much for the 12 inch: in fact they were GIVING them away later in the Paradise Bar. Those of you contemplating a purchase should know that the 12" JIADS track is 60 seconds longer than that on the CD, but 2 minutes & 10 seconds different, and with added Mick Cooke (so worthwhile). As for the music, its a carefully constructed hommage to British electronica acknowledging The Tornados, Rolf Harris, Hawkwind, Stereolab & The Gentle Waves over a joyous dance track. I think I will end up listening to this track more than to Legal Man itself. Another question for (I suspect) (spokesperson)/Back Cover Star: who is the person in the framed photo on the cover art? Stevie Jackson talks about "Legal Man" ** "Hi. I've been asked to write a few word about our next release - "Legal Man". Something of an innovation for the group, this is a ensemble piece written by us one day while trying out an Electric Sitar. There's nothing very profound about the song I have to say, it's just a love story about a boy and a girl and the boy happens to be a member of the legal profession. "Judy Is A Dick Slap" is our first instrumental to be released. Hard to know what to say about this, except I love it and play it all the time. "Winter Wooskie" was assembled from a demo Stuart David cut in the studio. The rest of the group lovingly brought the song to life in true "Free As A Bird" fashion, dubbing on our parts while using the latest technology to enhance the original recording to an aesthetic conclusion we feel he would have been proud of. And that's it, except to say that this record has been designed for the Pop Singles Market and every care has been taken at the mastering stage to ensure it sounds good on the radio. Another innovation! No, not at all. With the exception of "This Is Just A Modern Rock Song" all our EP's have been designed for the Pop Charts, have all been chart eligible and indeed have all charted, as high as 32 on one occasion! I read in a magazine this morning that this record is our fist chart eligible single and our first attempt at mainstream success. Nonsense. If this is an attempt at mainstream chart success, then it is no more so than any of our other releases. All our EP's were considered by us to have hit song potential and were released in the hope that they would be playlisted and become hits. Should anyone be surprised! Why ask questions! THIS IS THE PROFESSION WE HAVE CHOSEN. We are supposed to be a Pop Group after all. Anyway I hope you like the record. Love Stevie." ** from the programme for... 2000 TT Random recollections: lots of danceable B&S played, the DJ's seamless segue from whatsit's St Tropez (the Eurotrash theme) into Legal Man, the covers band whose name I can't recall (Kajagoogoo?) assassinating Fox In The Snow & The State That I Am In to a reaction ranging from horrified by the sacrilege to wetting themselves at how funny it was, Cazz :) sorry Casarotto's talented pole-dancing (where do you practice, Mark?), Arantxa's Austin Powers Go-Go Dancing on the illuminated stage, Carsmile Steve's arms & legs everywhere, nearly puking when they played Rupert The Bear & the theme from Rainbow, remembering that String Bean Jean is one of my all time favourite songs, some snogging (no names), dancing (what, me?) with Martin Rockford to Photo Jenny (the boys are just friends) & pondering the future of B&S: the good time dance thread has always been there (the Tigermilk Instrumental, the track that I think is called Grazing In The Grass, the boys' DJing) but is now becoming more public, & is meeting more widespread acclaim (single getting daytime airplay, etc.) Can the needs of the "old time Belle and Sebastian fans" still be met satisfactorily, and can their tastes grow in parallel with those of the band? AND SO TO BED Walking back to the car in Greenwich at 2.30 a.m. we saw a Fox In The Rain: thanks for the directions, Joe :) Love to all, David Moore Chelmsford, UK +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
