Sinister: In any case the moon
by LNino＠levi.com 03 May '00

03 May '00

Hi Second post, a hundred digests unread. I will be getting a computer at home, at last, I wil be able to check my email there and spend the evenings reading the silliness of Girls are Scary. In my opinon boys are scarier.. but girls and I quote Jack Kerouac again: The woman is a cellular mesh of lies, as well as a scratcher, are unknowingly dangerous. The man is very strange... Anyway, I thank everyone who wrote to me about my first post, Les Anomalies. I wish I could write to everyone daily. I'd like to thank Jules a lot because she sent me a WIl Oldham tape, which funny enough, a friend in Norway had taped three songs by this guy and I loved them, but he couldn't tell me who that was.. when I was listening in my car to it, on comes A minor place and i was frozen. I had found the singer of such wonders! And Also thank her because her last fable was just what I needed.. I have it here on my wall on pretty paper and a cool image to illustrate. I love it.. I really do. I was also thingking about Belle & Sebastian becoming famous. I guess they are in a way, being grabbed by an audience that is exploiting their beauty. I listen to a lot of spanish pop which can be sticky sweeter than Belle, Family is a spanish band, they have the greatest pop songs... Le Mans is also supberb, but then came an avalanche of Twee pop bands and frankly I started meditating about how maybe Belle & Sebastian might not come as huge, but huge enough as to create little clones that will kill the true twee-pop. I think if B&S came into the light in 1992 (?) and have been making this music for nearly a decade, and suddenly they have a cult, and this cult makes others want to do the same kind of music, we will be pretty bored with it in a few years, it will lack delight.. even in B&S. So it's not a matter of anguish if they become big as in hitting the cover of Alternative Press or Rolling Stone.. I bet they wouldn't allow it anyway, but other bands will suck the marrow out of this pop music. It's not bad to want to write pretty songs, we need them desperately, but we need a filter.. Rambling at the end of a day full of stomach pains, work, email wars, starvation and dreaming of being elsewhere.

Sinister: I'm in love with my clone
by Reid Dossinger 03 May '00

03 May '00

You know what I think is funny? You people. I think you people are funny. Funny, ha ha. Unintentionally. Until I hear a Burger King commercial sung to the tune of Sleep The Clock Around or The Rollercoaster Ride advertising the new "Beast With Two Backs" coaster at Busch Gardens or A Summer Wasting used as the theme song to the new Jennifer Love Hewitt "vehicle", I'm going to keep from putting "Belle and Sebastian" and "sold out" in the same sentence. Oops, just did. Well, you know what I'm getting at. Putting extra tracks on different versions of a single is tiny, man, TINY. I've always thought it's pretty funny when indie folk pretend that "it's only about the music", but will get all bent out of shape over something as small as extra tracks or the wrong clothes or the wrong taste in music or the Wrong Girl. And even though I personally don't have any problem with trying to sell more singles, so many people forget that Belle and Sebastian, like so many other bands, are in the enviable position of being able to make a living off of their record sales. It's their *job*. And even though that doesn't mean that we should forgive them if they deliberately alter their sounds for the sake of selling tons (which they haven't done), I don't think it's too much to ask forgiveness for trying to sell a few more records and make a better living. We'd all take a promotion at our jobs, but we'll put down musicians who, more or less, are doing the same. They're just trying to get ahead like the rest of us, and if they can do that without compromising their vision (which, again, B&S haven't done), that's pretty fucking amazing. What it does mean is that they have to do TV shows, and they have to sell extra versions of their singles, and they have to try and get airplay on MTV. Let them. It's a small price for us to pay. It makes me anxious and scared to disagree with the Duke's thoughtful words, but, as great as the 'the things that made me fall in love with you disappeared when you saw them too' quote was, I don't think it's correct. I think that Belle and Sebastian are doing exactly what they've always done: exactly what they want to do. It's always been equally frustrating and admirable that they don't seem to give a shit what ANYONE thinks of them, including their fans. If they had given half-a-second's thought to what we did and didn't like about them, they wouldn't be giving Isobel and Stevie so much air time on the albums, seeing as how their songs are consistently at the bottom of the voting results on the Jeepster site. And if you've heard "Legal Man", there is no way you could possibly think that they're tinkering with their sound for the sake of a hit. The last time I checked, the formula of a top 40 hit was not '60' retro and electric sitars. Maybe it'll be so successful that it ends up creating that formula, but I'll welcome that like I'd welcome a long lingering hug from Gwen Sefani. By the way, I won't say anything to give it away, but I have heard the new album. It doesn't have the highs of TBWTAS, but it doesn't have the lows either, and from everything I've read in interviews with the band members, this is the kind of album that they've wanted to make for a while. *They've* wanted to make. For themselves, you understand. I don't think they give much thought to what we think of it. As a side note, re: Shania Twain as the "anti-christ"...if a bland, slightly odd-looking "country"-pop singer is the worst thing you can think of, you have a pretty great life. I'm not too crazy about Shania Twain either, but I can imagine a whole lot worse. So I guess this is the part where I have to apologize for the length of my letter, say that I hope I didn't bore you and make some "funny" comment about "If you've read this far, you're a saint", etc. So there you go.

Sinister: umm ... hello.
by gina 03 May '00

03 May '00

(a very tentative start to my life in (on?) sinister, but then i am finding this experience very intimidating, so perhaps 'tis apt). well, hello children, i am yet another addition to your tribe, who, after some weeks now of watching your game, has decided to ask to be allowed to play. i think i've learnt the rules. firstly, you have to introduce yourself. all you really need to know about me is that i am called gina (tho some people elect to call me regi), that i am 19 and that i'm a student in york. if you truly want to know more, you can mail me privately. my reasons for joining you are fairly simple. #1 is that the people here are grate, you all seem so kind and understanding, yet cynical and disillusioned, and you won't try to tell me that ash, nor kent, nor 5ive are the greatest (yes, greatest) bands in the world (cheers housemates), plus you will listen to my rambling outbursts (i don't have too many). and #2 is quite simply greedy. and quite sad. y'see, years ago, when my boyfriend was making me a compilation tape, he accidentally used his copy of the second belleandsebastian markradcliffe session. most of the songs survived, but tijamrs was horrifically slaughtered. i now have "we rule the school" and "seeing other people", which i will copy for people, but i would love to be able to restore his collection. and, if anyone would be so kind, add to it by copying the first, effectively marklamarr, session also. (there's an even more distressing story behind this one. not only did i listen to the night b+s were in the first time, i recorded the show. i *even* recorded the talking in between the b+s songs. BUT I CUT OUT THE TRACKS. o h m y g o d. sobsob, whimper.) so, yes, i am here in part to get a copy of these songs from one of you kind souls. please will someone put me out of my misery and record them? i'll cover postage and supply the tape and everything. i ought to go as a friend is waiting for me, but one last request if i may: i am interested in going to the picnic on saturday but am afraid to go on my own (yes i'm a wimp. and i don't know anyone yet) so i was wondering whether anyone from the york area was going and, if they are, if they wouldn't mind an extra body. i hope i don't sound too pushy, i'm really a shy little girl but i can't resist this chance. and i promise any future missives will be much shorter and funnier. love to you all, gina, trying to press send... +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: all in the kool-aid, don't know the flavor
by sxi2590＠njit.edu 03 May '00

03 May '00

been let out of the nursery and am finally caught up in reading every last post, however i still don't have a clue as to what to say. i might as well dive in, seeing as whatever i write will be all wrong. apologies in advance if i tend to ramble. anyhow, my name's david. i'm a 23 yr old boy, korean, live 5 minutes from nyc (on the nj side of the lincoln tunnel). i quite like it here, what with the GRATE view of the manhattan skyline. i'm terribly jealous of those of you who've seen b&s live. i was discovering them about the last time they played new york, so i'm really excited about the upcoming album and US tour. right now, i'm a bit tired as i recently got back from visiting an old housemate of mine, who lives up by rochester which is a good 6 hours by train. he just told me that he and his girl, Liz, will be getting married so i'm to play the best man. well, it's a bit more interesting than that since liz is a witch and they're planning a wiccan ceremony. so officially my role is "the man in black"... meaning i have to get dressed all in black and recite some incantations or somesuch. i think it's peculiar but it'll be fun. my friend linda will be "the north corner." while i was there, they allso invited me to this one week event called starwood, which takes place the beginning of june. basically, all these ppl gather and they're all naked. it's some weird pagan bacchanal (i'm not sure about that spelling) where all these freaks meet up at some place in the woods, i think upstate ny. you have the wiccans, pagans, dischordians, some ren-faire types wearing chainmail and armor, and even *gasp* some REAL weirdos that come in jeans and t-shirts, deadheads, phishheads, roly poly phishheads, etc. a real wide variety. anyway, it's like woodstock gone awry. you have the center of the temporary settlement occupied by market row, where vendors can sell their goods and services. liz makes wands and pentagrams and other altar worship stuff to sell there. some of it looked quite nice. it may sound a bit on the cheesy side but she was really cool to hang out with...not as neurotic as i suspected. although, she didn't think too highly of my pink hello kitty dreamcast. you know, now that i think of it, if i can find a cute girl who can beat me at video games, i think i could definitely dig that [1]. back to what i was saying...during this week there's hottubs and did i mention naked ppl? i don't know but i'm so intrigued by this. i wonder if they worry about ticks and lyme disease. i can just see it now. hundreds of naked throw-caution-to-the- wind hedonists, wearing thick socks...with legwarmers even. for some reason that turns me on. a naked girl just wearing socks. i mean, it turns me on more than just a plain naked girl. odd. also, i wonder if they play slip&slide. no, not that slip&slide. ;) i'm talking about that rubber/plastic mat distraction where you have the sprinklers on and you run, you slide, you hit the bump and take a dive. i think i may have my commercials mixed up but hopefully someone knows what i'm talking about. anyway, that would turn me on too. wet naked people at high speed. of course they would play without the socks but you can't have everything. hopefully i didn't bore you to tears, angel dave [1] "neato" by baxendale comes to mind +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: That is not very twee
by Chris Paluch 03 May '00

03 May '00

Hello Sinister People, I think the hate list idea is a bad idea. It is better to be bitter and not tell other people. In fact I can not imagine anything less twee than making a hate or dislike list, because it is extremely indirect and mean, and finding out you are disliked and finding it out from a secondary source is an extremely terrible experiance. I mean alot of us people on sinister are highly sensitive people, and that is part of the reason we do like B&S so much. Yeah people should not talk about if they get on the crush list, but to make a hate list is just plain evil, and can really hurt somebody. You may not like somebodys posts, but it is better that they do not know it, and you just delete the post and go on with your day. I mean a hate list is not very twee. Plus if you do not like someone, and they are not a good writer it is not thier fault, some people just are not. I had to write because i was fairly upst by the idea, really I have nothing else to say. Chris ===== The sole member of the Lost Letter Society A society dedicated to turtle lovers everywhere.

Sinister: Badges, badges, shiny bright and lovely badges
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 03 May '00

03 May '00

Hewwo, Ooooh, my badges arrived today along with my tee-shirts. Three B&S badges (to replce the ones that the hard kids either stole or defaced), and gentle waves badge, a bus tee-shirt to replace the one that got wrecked in the wash and a bel and fox one, because I'd saved up for that for donkeys. But yesterday I had two B&S badges returned to me unharmed, and the prefect one with "say up my authoriti" written underneath 'belle and sebastian', which I didn't get back. Yesterday, I was walking home from school, with a brand new, unread copy of Bunty under my arm, when two hard kids ambushed (god I hate that word. I don't know why, though) me and stole it, laughed at it and threw it on to a garage roof. I got it down, but it was all dirty and ripped, and I felt a bit bad about it all. I've found a keyboard player for my band, so now I have....me on vocals and rhythm guitar, and cello, and tin whistle, and writing songs, and sometimes bass, a girl called Laura on drums, and tuba, and a girl called Caroline on keyboard, and stand in drums. So we're basically crap. And we don't have a name yet, but we'll think of something, and it'll be TWEE and GRATE, I promise, really, I do. Shania Twain is the Anitchrist. No, I'm convinced of it. She looks like a vampire, sings like a constipated demon of hel (isn't hel cool when you spell it with one L? well, it's obviously not cool, anything but, but don't you think it looks all gothy and mystical and GRATE? ), and feeds off the blood of freshly slaughtered virgins on a sarcrificial altar. And they're still playing her album (which I now know by heart) non-stop in the school canteen. Sample lyric goes a bit like this (making allowances for mishearings): "I'd rather die standing, than down on my knees, baby please, no more black eyes". I mean, she's practically a goth. I hate school. I wish I ruled it, like in the song. Than I'd play Belle and Sebastian in the canteen, and make bus tee-shirts (or twee-shirts, which I just discovered looked grate in a typing error), and knee high socks , or flares, and, and and little pigtails for the girls and floppy hair for the boys and and... ok, i'll stop, I always hyperventilate when I think about how I will one day dominate the school, and force them all to be like me. If B&S became P!O!Pular, really, does that mean that everyone would be gentle and twee, or would sinister just become a persecuted minority or hardcore "old" fans, who have to live in forests and stuff, until they discover cutting edge technology, and create their own village in outerspace, next to the twee aliens' village in space, where they can visit for alien tea and crumpets and stuff, yeah, and mount a daring mission to kidknap belle and sebastian, and take them away from commercial stuff, and start them on a rehab "back to twee" program, which worlks, so they come and live on the sinster outer space village planet thing and b everyone bees twee forever, and meanwhile back on earth the masses are lost with out their idols, so they eat each others heads, and all die out which lets the sinster kids return to earth and start up a sort of new, twee P!O!Pulation, where everyone loves B&S and they are cloned so that every single generation forever can have B&S, and the world is ahppy and contented and the aliens come to visit sometimes? Ok, now Mummy Honey will think I'm insane and come at me with sedatives. I can't help it, I had too much Ribena today. This post is too long, I'm really sorry. Hugs, Jen Ps, Julie is grate for mentioning owls. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: By firelight
by Painting With Light 03 May '00

03 May '00

I love romantic encounters anywhere, coaches included, everywhere so long as it has the sparkly/tingly feeling to it! For the guy who was on the coach who's name I don't recall speak up next time cos you just never know!!! Williams Adam (Mr A) said " Personally, I find Fox in the Snow mildly emetic, but there ya go" and I'll have to agree to disagree on that one *grin* but then he continued "I'm trying to solve the list's half-fear of the opposite sex." Which I agreed with wholeheartedly. (May I join you on your most noble quest kind Sir?) Scary stuff is thrilling stuff. If it was easy to strike up witty, charming banter and be gorgeous every time someone you fancied was around it wouldn't be half so much fun. Besides it's great when you make a total prat of yourself and the other person actually sticks around and even if they don't then at least you flattered them and everyone likes that. If they're mean about it then they don't deserve you anyway! Unfortunately then 'Mr A' said "if you don't believe me listen to a Bis record." Which I'm afraid I don't advise try Sleater Kinney or Urusei Yatsura instead! I am also on another quest, this one is to get the word 'Sinister' into every essay. Pointless but amusing. ***LIST REQUEST*** Is anyone going to Yo La Tengo in Manchester and feeling the burning need to say hello to me at the same time? Hmmm well if you do mail me privately but I don't think I'll hold my breath (I can do 3 minutes don't ya know!!) ***END REQUEST*** Well back to my essay, which is bloody hard to write on a mobile come lap top expensive (someone else's) computer gadget thingy in a fast darkening field/moor in Yorkshire while my friends dance drunkenly in the firelight, ah I can talk about the 'SINISTER' figure of female representationain't portable communication great?

Sinister: last week's nme rant at loosing footie Vs sinister (the pasty-faced vegan geeks)
by Jim Taylor 03 May '00

03 May '00

for anyone that hasn't see it (oh yeah, and that gives a shit) - from NME dated 29/4/00: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ "BANGING ON ABOUT.... Not being a poor loser, no! The full truth about All Tomorrow's Parties has yet to be told. The real excitement wasn't focused on the stage but on the football pitch. OK, picture the scene: after destroying Radio 1 (EightFUCKINGnil!), NME FC proceeded to chew its way through various loser indie band teams like a drug-crazed combine harvester ploughing its merry fume-spewing way through a field of ripe corn. Yeah! Mashing up the bodies of the skulking little bunny rabbits and voles and shit BIG TIME! And then - FINALS! We had only one team to beat - the pasty-faced vegan geeks representing The Sinister List (a semi-official Belle & Sebastian web page). I mean, how hard could it be!? Pow! Smash! Krak! Wham! We peppered the B&S goal with shots aplenty but WE COULD NOT SCORE! And then the indie kids made a tactical substitution. They brought on Stuart Murdoch! From Belle & Sebastian! And he was BRILLIANT! And we LOST! But he wouldn't give us a post-match interview, of course, beacuse Belle & Sebastian don't talk to the evil, corporate cock-waggling capitalist music press. And apparently Stuart balked when he first realised that it was US he was playing against. Oh no, man! Like how does this effect my 'integrity', maaaaaan!? Which leaves one question unanswered: what make of boots was Stuart wearing? Were they NIKE - which probably means that they were put together by Third-World wage slaves? Or were they ADIDAS or REEBOK? Have you checked out THEIR working conditions, Staurt? Have you read Naomi Klein's 'No Logo' book? Have you, huh? Your press office was unable to either confirm or deny that you were wearing evil coporate cock-waggling capitalist boots, Stu, so we'll have to give you the benefit of the doubt. So long as your play barefoot next time, deal? Or, alternatively you could drop all the pathetic, ideologically bankrupt hippy posturing, get Belle & Sebastian involved in some REAL politics and then communicate your ideals to a mass audience via these pages. Like ADF or Rage Against The Machine or Chumbawumba or Primal Scream. If you felt like that, like, wouldn't damage your, uh, 'integrity' too much, maaaaan! Steven Wells" @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ well lots of things crossed my mind whilst i typed that. like i could be down the pub by now. i won't go on, though thought it worth pointing out how NME did recently report Murdoch/B&S taking a stance on Section 28, and speaking at a Scottish Socialist Party conference. just looked at http://www.missprint.org/sinister/picnics/FC-SlotJockey.html sorry 'bout that..... think maybe stevie T said there were other photos?? ________________________________________________________________________ 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.
