So, Sinister mentioned in NME: Is there any chance of us promoting ourselves as some sort of tightknit mafia-style organisation that's above the law? Go on, please. Y'know you all want to. Mwah ha ha... I really need to get out more. Monday will be a good day for new records - new 7"s from Broadcast and Helen Love (and someone else, can't remember who). And "The Foolishness We Create Through Love Is The Closest We Get To Greatness" by the Airport Girls is out soonish, so I'm told. On 'the second best record label in Streatham (tm)', I believe.

Sinister: Another rainy day
by Liisa Kallio 19 May '00

19 May '00

It`s been a bloody stupid day...well at least yesterday was.I`ve got my an exam on Monday 22/5 IŽve been trying to study for it, but IŽm feeling too bored and sad. Then I woke up last night and realised that I got to write this 8 page essay and I haven`t got time, it should be ready by the end of the month, I got all panicked and couldn`t sleep. I went to a park and there was this woman out with 3 Belle dogs(you know the dog Sebastian had in the film)they came to me and I patted them :)they were so sweet big,white and fluffy.My trousers were covered with white dog hair.The woman said bye bye when they left so it was sweet.I also saw a rabbit last night.I went out to our garden at midnight for a cig and it was weird cos I was just thinking what if some madman would suddenly stand behind me and I looked back and there was a rabbit looking at me,we both got a bit scared and the rabbit ran away. B+S uniforms.I always thought the velvets looked very cool so something black (black and red leather)and shades.Shades are essential, at least for a shy girl like moi. Urusei Yatsura someone mentioned them.I havent heard from for years.They havent split up or anything?If someone would be kind to mail me about them,please. Sonic Youth.Does anyone know on which album is this song it should go like this: "jesus had a twin who knew nothing about sin" is it from Sister? Mail me if you know. I`ve been listening to this old Denmark`s eurovision song contest entry "Teaching Ding-Dang-Dong" :) Edwyn Collins sings it in this Eurotrash compilation thingy.I think it`s so lovely "when the world looks sunny everyone`s funny when you sing a song that goes ding-dang-dong" Bye,bye babies bye,bye xxx Liisa Ps.Sinister picnic in Helsinki?When and where in HKI?I accidently deleted the message. ---- Soittoäänet ja ikonit matkapuhelimeen! http://www.iobox.fi/ +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Little House on the Prairie
by Martin Robinson 19 May '00

19 May '00

Hello friends and Alisdair Cook, My oh my it's a wonderful day. Apparently we have some insipid visitor's coming down from Glasgow this weekend, so I should be tidying the house and hoovering like the good housewife that I am. But, I can't be arsed and they'll be too pissed to notice. So I might go shopping for tomatoes instead or have a practice run through for the picnic by sitting on top of Greenwich Hill reading Chekhov short stories. Which incidently are bleedin' GRATE. Talking of which those still confused by directions to said picnic and Big Gay Mark. Well Big Gay Mark confuses me but in a different way. Anyway, a few of us shall be meeting the 1:30 train at Maze Hill, which leaves London Charing Cross at 1:12pm precisely. It's the Dartford via Greenwich service. So then we can all walk up the hill together and talk about urbanisation, my paranoia of modern surveillance systems, why my diet is controlled by the person who does Iceland's 2 for the price of 1 offers and we'll still have time for a couple of cigarette breaks on the way. Sorry for those non-Londoners but I also said I would properly mention 2000 Troubled Teenagers on the list for one of the DJ's at Saturday evenings extravaganza. It's a bit late and you all know already but here goes: Ummm... Saturday 20th May 8pm until 3am @ The Paradise Bar, 460 New Cross Road, SE14 (corner of florence road). New Cross tube /rail. 20 mins from Charing Cross. £6 (!!?) entrance or £5 with a UB40, NUS card or Belle & Sebastian T-shirt or badge. Pre-release plays of the new album, ep, live B & S cover shennanigans etc. Bla bla... Anyway, that's my Mercury bit done so I'll go out of orbit and say I saw Tompaulin the other day who are a bit great and have a great single Slender out in the next couple of weeks in the UK, well the song sounds great live anyhow. The performance was only marred slightly by some drunken twat, or even drunken Matt, talking continually during the performance. Bless his little cottons. I would heartily recommend the gorgeous new Clientele single too as I seem to have worn mine out in two weeks, which is kind of warming me to CD's as I'll have to buy it again, but now I'm just listing bands and lists are to be seen and not heard. Right kids? Has anyone else thought of taking up the language Volapuk? As it would be silly if I had no one to talk to. Te ra, Martin +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Rage against the bollocking machine
by Elizabeth Daplyn 19 May '00

19 May '00

Hello ladies. Looking forward to piqueniqueing in about 24 hours. Woohoo! And, as some of you will remember, I bake exceedingly good cakes. Going to have to lug a bottle of wine around London beforehand for a whie, though, so I guess red will have to do. Turns your tongue black, you know. You know what? I actually sat here and calmed down before writing anything. Sterling advice from Honey. This is probably a good reason for being on a mailing list: in a pub-argument session, I'd normally give the surrounds a good taste of Daplyn invective. To be honest, over the last half an hour while I've been reading the backlog of sinister-digests that's built up over the couple of days this week when I've been too bleedin' busy to do anything other thatn run around like a headless chicken, eat and sleep, I've frequently been yelling "OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE" silently inside the warm squishiness of my brain. Particularly in relation to Mr. San Angel. But I'm not going to be nasty to anyone or about anything, because I'm a nice girl. But I'd like to register an objection to people posting things which they know will royally piss off any number of people out of the seething masses which we know as Sinister these days, but do it anyway. Steven Wells autocloning isn't pretty. Think of Sir Cliff. I know _I_ frequently do. Heh. The delightful Chris_t_opher wafted forth thusly > Beautiful music with 'interesting' lyrics [NB. B+S lyrics aren't > just 'interesting, they're 'likeable'!!] is far better than any lyrically > revolutionary song where music takes the back-seat. I know a lot of you > disagree but i only use music for entertainment. If i wanted to learn > something useful, I'd read a book. Absolutmont. As a fount of simply spanking and sometimes heartbreaking music, B&S are tops. They may personally be out spraying the walls (tm. the Grand High Struan) but why should they be obliged to reflect that in the way they pursue their commercial livelihoods? I have had many a thought provoked by music and the idle ramblings of musicians, but I'm not looking to it for a grand schematic for living my life or how I should be thinking politically. Screw the NME. There are some lovely ducks quacking around my college environs at the moment, seeing as we've got a wee river flowing placidly past the edge of the lawn. Not to mention swans, but they're scary and evil (just try punting past one which has a brood of cygnets) and belong to the Queen. Sometimes our ducks experiment with their sexuality, such as two lady ducks waddling around together. They don't hold hands because they don't have hands, and I'm not shocked anyway, because I respect their right to discover themselves as canids of the new millennium. I feel quite faint from all the effort. I'd best get to doing some work. I've got to design a fricking Christmas card for the Vice Chancellor of the universty to send to the Queen and the Sultan of Brunei and that. Lucky me.

Chris was SPOT ON about Struan looking like the bloke out of Ally McBeal. Yes! Why had this never occurred to me before? He's also the freaky nervous bloke in BBC2's top new sitcom "Coupling". It's a bittersweet experience for me, because the best new sitcom (along with "Spaced") of the last 10 years is made by my old company - who fired me. Me! How could they! Stuart also appears as Geeky footie schoolboy no. 2 in Gregory's Girl (well, it looks like him, anyway), and is also Bjorn Ulvaeus out of Abba. Which explains the top pop songwriting. 'Strue! Picnickers in Greenwich who aren't sure of where they're going - Martin and I will have our mobiles with us at all times (we fancy ourselves as illegal-rave-organising wideboys), so if you get lost/confused/nervy, just give one of us a call and we'll ORDER you up the hill and then make you drop and give us 20. Ahem. Big gay Mark - 07771 656961 Big gay Martin - 07968 369985 Jarrod. I was going to write to you off list, but I don't feel comfortable saying the things I'd like to suggest to you about your attitude. I strongly suggest you put some of the less complimentary letters you received up on sinister for a bit of balance. If you didn't receive any, I apologise and withdraw this statement.

Hi, Some people have been slagging off Isobel again, and normally I'd just let it slide... but right now I won't (for reasons i won't go into). *Leave the lass alone!!!* Isobel's singing is *absolutely gorgeous*. I happen to really like the way that it's so quiet that the mic has to be turned up to the point where, when listening with headphones, you can hear her open her mouth. I think it's because it sounds like she's singing in my ear, although if I'm wearing headphones I suppose she kinda is. I suppose I just like to be able to hear my pop stars breathe. Oh, and the Scottish accent is *so* sexy, don't try to deny it. Frankly, you're all a bit jealous aren't you :) The Gentle Waves are fantastic too, so there. And lyrically I think it's great. I mean, someone (hi jim) once said to me that "when a person's sad and lonely sometimes they will cry, when the sun comes out to meet them then their tears run dry" wasn't exactly profound. Well... it is actually. It's good because it's simple, if you see what I'm getting at. I mean, can any of you think of a better way of saying it?

Sinister: Half Decent Idea At The End
by ELZober＠aol.com 19 May '00

19 May '00

back onto the subject of B&S and a new album, is anyone else kind of excited? if you think back to how things started - how this was all some kind of fluke when Richard met Neil at college and Stuart put together this menagerie of people (taking a little artistic liscene there folks...) and the first album was made.... then they only played i think about seven or eight shows in total before IYFS came out.... they were something obscure, and frankly at times they were pretty shite - hey, some of you out there have seen them live when they were not at their best... :) and now, it's almost like they're everywhere - even in a John Cusak film..... i don't think anyone, who was listening to them way back when, thought they would get "this far" in that their music would reach such a wide audience... i think it's a wonderful thing, because here are eight people who, if not for a billion things going right and wrong and every which way - would not have been in a band to start with.... and Sinister wouldn't exist and tons of people would still be walking around in cardie's... not talking to anyone and drinking pints of ale alone... now they're all a bunch of lager swilling Sinister hooligans - which, i'm told is quite the same as hooligans of the football variety.... - the cardies are worn with pride and here we are doing what Stuart did - we've seen the poetry of the world, of our own unique lives and we're out there, on this list, at college, at the pub, meeting loads of folk who think kinda like "we" do... nearly 2000 people make up the "we"... so it sounds crap, but we listen to what everyone else has to say, we argue and we move out... then we come back... perhaps without Sinister we'd all have different cyber homes and nothing would be missed.. but i dont' think that's true for a lot of people... perhaps i'm wrong... perhaps i'm not... perhaps this is the end of an era... Chandler and Monica are engaged... 90210 is off the air forever... (do twee people watch American telly? ofcourse.... it's on Channel 4....)and now B&S have given the world an album they matured on, worked on, and gave to the world as a piece of who they are as muscians.... i think that's pretty fabulous.... so... perhaps we could start gathering parties - instead of picnics - listening parties in the different cities where Sinisterines are for when the new album comes out.... hey - we could have them at the same times in the same country - accounting for time zones and all... then go on line in a chat room and people at a party in Ireland could vitual chat with people at a party in London and so on... and in the states we could one in DC and Seattle and so on... ok... perhaps that's a little far fetched... perhaps it seems a bit odd... it's just an idea.... oh, and woudln't that give the NME something to write about, eh? obssess much?..... :) elle +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
