Sinister: I'm out!
by dylan m. 16 May '00

16 May '00

Now that Im a dandy little debutante and fresh out of the nursery, i should introduce myself. My name is dylan, im from the states, iowa actually. and ive listened to b&s for a year now (i KNOW.. im not nearly as hardcore as you). B&S are very special to me. there was a time in my life when the sun did not shine so brightly. blah blah ..i was very unhappy, until i came across a B&S mp3 on the internet. I was in love again. THe clouds parted and the birds flew in to chirp the melody of The state i am in. Needless to say I quickly bought tigermilk and smiled for weeks. dylan ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Picnic in Helsinki: Be There Or Be Somewhere else.
by maria 16 May '00

16 May '00

Hello List, I emerge from lurkedom to let all the Finnish list members (all 4 of them, I suppose. we are few...) know that in honour of the International Sinister picnic day on the 20th me and Jarkko and possibly a few others are going on a Sinister picnic of our own and everyone is welcome to join us. On a London picnic a year ago I observed, eavesdropped and took notes of how it's all done professionally and it appeared very simple. All you need is booze and food and a ball you can aimlessly kick around. And a donkey on wheels apparently. Basically, everything will do. Also, if you like you can bring me presents since it's my (and Morrissey's too) birthday on the 22nd :o) So if you'd like to come and spend a lovely (almost) summer's day with us mail Jarkko and he'll give you the details as to where and when 'cause I haven't the faintest. Right-o. That's all from me for now. Byee!

Sinister: Not really worth reading to be honest
by Robin Stout 16 May '00

16 May '00

Hey Kids! Snow Patrol were on Mark and Lard's Pop Upstairs Downstairs last night, and they won. Props to them for being so well turned out, they really looked quite respectable. They were all as well scrubbed and fresh faced as matron when she went to Beachy Head. This morning I recieved my free "Inventor's Kit" that I'd phoned up for after seeing an advert for it on telly. It's not as impressive as it sounds. Just a laminated piece of nonsense about how important inventing things is - "We need inventors. We need people like you." - and two sheets of paper, one for you to write about what your invention is, and the other, covered in handy squares, for you to draw your invention on. Does anyone have any ideas for an invention I could send off to these people? The more rubbish the better, I think. Like an inflatable toaster, or a cardboard dog. The future needs inventors like me.

Sinister: tempers brewing
by idle berry 16 May '00

16 May '00

hello all, where do I begin? well, right now I'm supposed to be seeing my lecturer for some advice, and hopefully help. But shes busy, so I might go and see her later. I sat on the bus today. I felt on the verge of tears. I do sometimes when I'm alone with a problem to solve, and not the sort of problems you get from text books. But I looked out the window and tried to put it out of my head. I could alomst still hear him shouting. Him, my flat"mate". Him, the bastard. I spent the night at a friends place. It wasn't ideal, it wasn't what I had planned. This is my last week of classes, and I have some translations and an essay due in, plus my exams start next week. I tried to get on with some work, and I did, actually, I got quite a bit done. Not all of it, but a bit. My dad called me, my boyfriend called me, and my best friend called me. She said she'd tried to call my house, but they told her I was an ex tennant and had gone for good. She was going to have a go at them, shes like that, a lovely person, but shes great when it comes to the snarling bit and putting people in their place. My other friend let me stay at hers after I called her last night. I'd been sitting on my porch, which goes into my room. My bedroom door was locked, I didn;'t want anyone near me. Least of all him. I called her, cried down the phone. I think I looked a mess, mascara all over the place. I really ought to invest in something waterproof. She came over and helped me pack a few things. We sat on my bed, chatting for a bit, sharing my last cigarette. Lots of hugs. I needed hugs. My dad called, and wanted to know what had happened. I'd only spoken to my mum and brother before that, he wasn't home from work yet, you see. I'd been sitting on the porch since the people came to view it. They saw me afterwards, but politely ignored my sniffles and tears. Maybe you would too. They came to view the house after it all happened. Almost as exactly as they had knocked on the door, to be exact. Great timing. My flatmate lost his temper last night. He threw something at me. He said I was abnormal human, I was a freak. It all happened that morning. I was just leaving, and he said they had people viewing at four o clock, to leave my door unlocked to my room, so they could show them around. I said I'd be back by then, locked my door anyway. I've lost my cash card and specs you see, and I didn't want anything else to get up and walk. And besides which, my room was a mess. Nobody goes into my room unless I let them, and its tidy. I wasn't back. university things to do. Things to sort out. You know how it is, maybe? So he screamed at me. I told him he should have given me more warning. He'd had all weekend. He said I was pracing about, in my room. I was in my room, but I told him I wanted to get my degree, if he hadn't noticed, but it was the end of term. I told him I wasn't answering to him, I wasn't there to do that. He called me a freak, saying I spent all my time in my room. I do, but thats my progative, don't you agree? Then he picked up something, and threw it at me. It missed, hit the door. The other flatmate, for all he won't get involved, let it happen. Didn't say a thing, lift a finger. I was fuming, but the minute I left and went into my bedroom, I felt afraid. When I went to my friends place, I was angry. I wanted to go back and slash his precious bike tyres. He loves that bike. Keeps it in the living room (despite the fact that we have a shed) and washes it in the bath. Other folk take rubber ducks, maybe a sailing boat in the bath, he takes his bike. I was so angry. My dad called him, and threatened to call the police if Andrew so much as laid a finger on me. Andrews response was it was empty threats. My dad told him just to try and see. He told him that its not right for a twenty year old man to start throwing his weight around like that, behaving like an animal, like a spoilt brat. Andrew didn't see why I was scared or upset. My dad told Andrew to try it in my shoes. Andrews nearly twice my weight, and a good foot taller than me. He told him to call and appologise. He told him to leave me in peace, to let me get on with my life as I wanted to, to ignore me. As my wise friend said, he was sharing a house, not renting a friend. As I said to her, he couldn't pay me enough to rent me as a friend. So what do I do today? well, I might go and see about alternative accomodation. There must be something they can do on campus for me. But my dad would prefer if I tried and stuck it out. I might call the letting agency and let them know that hes agressive and intimidating. But what will they do? his word against mine. And I'm sure my other flatmate will happily take his side. What I wanted most was to speak to someone. and shes busy. what I want is to sort out this situation I am in. Maybe I could pretend I was in the circus, throw daggers at the bastard. I dunno. Also, going to buy tigermilk for my friend who helped me out. as a thankyou. ===== http://www.geocities.com/idleberry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Ah, yes, Grandaddy. The new record "The Sophtware Slump" is out in the UK and getting great reviews, and it is due to be released in the US in early June. I just directed the first video for it, for "Hewlett's Daughter" which won't be out until mid June at earliest. Just prior to shooting that one I helped Stevie realise his visions for "The Wrong Girl" shooting the video in Glasgow in late April with most of the band's help. We edited it in Portland a few weeks ago as mentioned by Mick on this list, and I expect it will be released sometime after the video for "Legal Man" has conquered the airwaves. Jeepster are very good about keeping the fans informed of any showings of videos, but if I happen to hear of anything I will mention it to the list as well...

Sinister: the model and legal man.
by feather boa 15 May '00

'ello it's me again. i went to where it's at on saturday nite and they played the model. i danced enthusiastically, but was not joined by the rest of the club who looked a bit bored, and were really waiting for them to play another old punk band. i probably looked a bit poncey because i already know all the words *s* does anyone else think there should be a ymca style dance to legal man? see l - you stick your arms up in the air, o - arms down circling in in a classic "strong man" pose (oh the irony), v - arms up again. then there's the question of e, how can we represent this without looking like idiots? answers on a postcard. if i don't get lost i'll be at the london picnic, see you there. pip pip, FB X *********************************** chickclick.com http://www.chickclick.com girl sites that don't fake it. http://www.chickmail.com sign up for your free email. http://www.chickshops.com boutique shopping from chickclick.com *********************************** +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Hi Fragrant Ones, If you missed Stevie being interviewed on Radio 1 last week you can listen to him here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/media/djs/lamacq/belleandsebastian.ram The Jeepster Belle & Sebastian News page http://www.jeepster.co.uk//belleandsebastian/news/index.shtml has info on the promotion of the new releases (Legal Man video on Channel 4, Club Promotion evenings, etc.) There are also links to reports of the recent Q&A session, for those of us not sequinned enough to have been there in person. If you like any of the Beach Boys, Neil Young or The Flaming Lips try the new Grandaddy album (The Sophtware Slump) as its a great thrashing romp for the summer, with added pretty bits. Shares some themes & stylistic traits with Looper as well. Alternatively, be cool & dismiss as sub Pixies toss :) Wearing Band T-shirts can be good for a laugh when people strain their eyes to check the name of the new designer they've never heard of before. Maybe see some of you later this week, Love & Peace, David Moore Chelmsford, UK +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Ol' dirty bastard

>Talking of old codgers, Nick Dastoor seems to be feeling his age all of a > sudden doesn't he? Oh dear, yes you're right. What have I become? That didn't come across very well. I think queasy is a bit of a stupid word to have used. Tom Cox does like new bands though. It's just that they have to sound like they're 30 years old. Cotton Mathur, anyone? I like some current indie bands too. But I can only think of a handful other than Belle & Sebastian who are doing anything very vital. Let me try and explain things better. What I don't like is the assumption that because you think B&S are the bee's knees, you must be heavily into other current 'indie' bands too. I wish I could have followed Simon Reynolds (http://members.aol.com/blissout/bio.htm) into his 'right, alternative music is ossifying - I'm off to rave culture' re-invention. But I'm not at home there either. I'm just an indie-kid plagued with self-contempt, that's all. Ignore me.
