Sinister: Le Picnique du Sheffield
by Katy Dutton 11 Jul '00

11 Jul '00

I haven't posted for ages, what with being away and all and I'm still all excited about practically touching Goddess, sorry, Geddes (TM David) in Fopp on Byres Road. The streets really are paved with gold. Or cheese, as that film (cartoon) would have you believe. A bit more content: I've got free tickets for High Fidelity (courtesy of the fabulous Uncut magazine) on Thursday, which is exciting, because it looks bluddy grate and they play Seymour Stein and talk about them as you all know, soo... <catches breath> <Throws breath> (Sorry, pathetic I know...) Okay, PICNIC... The setup is working, I feel proud of my baby (Magic's and Mike's too, I suppose I'm more a surrogate mother). Just to reiterate: Time: 2:00 Place: Endcliffe Park entrance, Sheffield Just look for a bunch a manic twee people. I for one will be sporting my delightful B+S badge, the one with the swearing boy (David) on it. If anyone still has any map queries, mail Mr Smiley :) Feel free to come and raid my house after, the parental unit are in Cape Cod for two weeks. UNless you're drunk and scary that is. Hehe maybe not...anyway. The picnic is going to be GRATE, and I'm looking forward to it :) Thanks in advance for coming (just watch noone turn up now, Katy...).

Sinister: b&s/go-betweens interviews
by Alex ＠ KindaMuzik 11 Jul '00

11 Jul '00

Hiya you load of filthy list slappers! It's been all too long, so nice to see you, to see you - nice... Indeed. Life in Amsterdam is livened up (!) from time to time when I get to do a nice little interview or so, and there are two coming up that I think may interest you. Here's the scoop and the veritable deal: I'll be talking to Master Mickelas Cooker of our very own B&S, along with those two from the Go-Betweens in mid-July (seperate interviews, mind). On the site I help run, we've got a new type of feaure called the 'Hot Seat' (I came up with the title, so all blame goes to me). It's basically a rip-off of Q's 'Cash for Questions', except that - well - there's no cash. You do however, get, to send in your very own questions to me, and we'll - the mag - pick the best 20 and ask those in the interview. Not only does it save me a bit of work, but it often ensures a lively little discourse... So, if you have something nagging you'd like to ask Mick or Bob and Grant, send your questions to me at alex(a)kindamuzik.net. Cheers, and I'll keep you up-to-date as when everything goes online, etc., etc. Alex ---------------------------------------------------------------------- THE KINDA MUZIK YOU LIKE - the modern music magazine get yourself connected @ http://www.kindamuzik.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: University Libraries and B & S non-tour
by Andrea Kittenmouse 11 Jul '00

11 Jul '00

Yeah, you would think that people would eventually figure out how to find a book in a library (they are in college) but I work in a university library in an office where we borrow books for people that the library doesn't own (from other libraries), and you wouldn't believe the number of people that come in and ask for books that we already have in the library. It's like they never even bothered to look in the catalog to see if we had it. The librarians here are rather snotty though, I think. Wish they weren't. What is up with Belle and Sebastian not touring? Can't Jeepster or Matador front them the money to tour? It's all well and good for those who live in England who've seen them 10 times, but what about us West Coast people who probably will never get a chance to see them now. Do you think they'll ever tour the U.S. now? I would think if they were ever going to do it, now would be the time. I dunno, what do you all think? Why no gigs? andrea ________________________________________________________________________ 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: Puking from noon until noon again.
by FEHBP Training Account 4 11 Jul '00

11 Jul '00

CONFESSION: Last Monday I came into work terribly sick.(Some one slipped me a bad pill last weekend) I headed to my computer to find all you messages from the 4th of July weekend. I soon ran to the lavatory (scarring the secretary) realizing I wouldn't be able to work. I had to erase all you lovely messages before i could read them( so the Tec guy wouldn't see all the messages on my computer when I went home) I went back to the archives to read them cuzz I felt truly evil. I don't know if there were any personal messages -but if there were sadly they were lost. PINK FLOYD Hmm... ok so pink Floyd isn't one of my favorites, But I don't think many have escaped growing up with out being exposed to allot of Floyd. And it's just one of those bands that even if you don't find it terribly deep-you learn to really appreciate the music just because they have taken a different direction with it. That or I guess you end up hating it. I was just surprised - cuzz I don't. There music is just great, You get a whole spectrum > total flood of emotion-to complete numbness. I don't know about all that technical stuff I only know that it gives a good feeling and that's all that matters to me. "Day after day love turns gray , like the skin of a dying man and night after night we pretend it's alright ,but I have grown older and You have grown colder ,and nothing is very much fun any more and I feel ,...another turn coming on and I feel sharp as a razor blade tight as a truncate dry as a funeral drum Look in the corner in the suit case on the left you'll find my favorite axe....." Now what's hippie about that? hmm.. sorry if it's miss quoted , I am also happy to report that I have converted a friend to B&S This is a girl who only listens to no doubt and the like.. so I am very proud. After dragging her to shows kicking and screaming for most of our friendship we finally agree on a artist. I also bought a new skate board this weekend . Why did I wait so long? Love to all , Alix "Oh, I'll call you speak, because that's what you do" +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: 2001: A Spazz Odyssey?
by Peter Miller 11 Jul '00

11 Jul '00

No gigs until 2001? Heavy bummer. Still, chin up, before long death will be eradicated and then three years between gigs won't seem like such a long time. In fact three years will be the length of the average b-side. Queues to get into gigs will be thousands of miles long, and once you've negotiated the Tiannamanesque crowd around the bar, your pint will be as big as the one they used to advertise on the telly - "Whitbread bitter, Trophy bitter, the pint that thinks it's a quart!" Not only will death have been eradicated, the past will have met up in the middle with the future and there'll be no more sufferation. But everyone will look like Eddie out of Iron Maiden. Sounds like a Floyd album, doesn't it? I once read a huge article about the making of Dark Side of the Moon in what Duke used to refer to as "Mo-Jo" Magazine. Sadly, I no longer have it, but if I remember correctly they made it on the cheap, with sellotape, etc, and didn't expect it to sell. I could be muddling this up with Tubular Bells, mind. I read a huge article about that too. Pixidustlady, Chuck D is the singer with Public Enemy.

Sinister: University Libraries

11 Jul '00

Greetings, <<<Libraries>>> Will Salt wrote: >I work in a university library, so you'd think that the customers I'd come >across would be intelligent people able to find their own books with the >minimum of effort. I remember not long ago (about February probably) when I was leaving the university library (after finding my own books I might add), I had to show the books I'd borrowed to the security guard, who was an old fella. I was putting the books in my bag when some greasy long haired gimpy student came up to show his books looking thoroughly miserable. The old fella asked the student what's wrong to which the student muttered something about being stressed cos he had exams coming up and an essay to complete. The response the old fella gave was one of the finest I have ever heard, "Stress? you want to live in Mozambique son, that's fucking stress." Kind of put's everything in perspective really. I'm not a huge fan of librarians in general, aren't they supposed to be there to show people how to find books in the organised chaos called the indexing system they have create? Most of them seem to think they are doing us some massive favour by putting themselves out to tell us (grudgingly) where to find the sodding books. I may be wrong but don't these people know what to expect when they take the job? I can understand why somebody in a record shop would be pissed off because in general the stuff is easy to find and if it's not on the shelf, it's probably not in the store, but in a library it's not like that is it? <<Air>> Yes, I've noticed the Last Of The Summer Wine/Air thing as well. Cue images of an old fella rolling down some Yorkshire hillside in a bathtub or some such piece of household junk, and the pervy old one on the bike. Hilarious? I think not. <Content> I think 'Chickfactor' is (goes away for 5 minutes to listen to it) pretty decent. I actually quite like it although I prefer The Simple Things (which is playing right this very minute). Can anybody recommend a good site where I can get MP3s of 'Lord Anthony' and 'Rhoda'. I've tried Napster but it's as slow as a week in a university library and anyway I can't find 'Rhoda' on there. That's all folks!

Sinister: Infinite Jest and Apple Butter
by Chris Paluch 11 Jul '00

11 Jul '00

Hello Sinister People, It has been a while since I wrote but something has finally compelled me to post. I love Apple Butter, and Canada. Canada, which brought us probably one of the few decent(not great) periods of american pop music...the Hip, sloan, Veda Hill and julie dorian, and other like people. And Much Music is slightly better than MTV and Much Music two is alot better than M2!!! I decided that it was neccassary to move as close to Canada as possible in case US just lost it, and that to me was Vermont. Yes I to wanted to be Canadain, I do not blame canada for one thing. I imagine that one day a large group of outcast americans and people who are just fed up will move to canada. That or one day New England will secede from the United States and become part of Canada, sort of an Infinite Jest situation. Because I am sick of the United States. A good deal of possible scenerios come to mind for people just sick and tired of the United States craving a parliment. or something similiar. And I really like Apple Butter!!! I lack the lineage though, so I really do have no real reason to want to be Canadian, other than lots of trees, and lots of snow. That and thier tends to be a bit more sweater and black glasses types. Maybe that is just because of the cold weather. B&S comment, what no tour till 2001...I wonder if they really are becoming like xtc...another cultish super shy pop band that hit a chord with a good deal of people. Maybe we will have Straun talking as a potato soon in a promotional video, that would be fun.

hello sinisterettes! Jen said > Mmmm, Jason went to T in the Park. I wonder, did he ever get to wave his > 'Sinister is a bit freaky' sign at Stu D? you do mean "sinsietr" right? :) (jen, i'm sorry i accidently sent this only to you.. and then i unsent it... so then you're gonna have one of those annoying lil 'this message has been unsent' things that aol does.. unless they stopped doing that... ) Hunny... when you have a free moment.. can you change that? its been driving me mad since i noticed it was there. not that you have to of course. ok. alot of people have commented on my desire to be canadian, lineage and all. so let me explain. the states, no matter how much people seem to like them sometimes, suck. every other country in the world gets this foreign charm to it. us, we're a bunch of law deviating fuck ups. or, at least thats how i see it. canada is not only really pretty (or so says the stereotype :), but its close enough to home that way i dont have to leave my family that far behind me. cos afterall, i'm not fighting in a war. now, all that up there. its crap. truth is.. i just really want to be canadian, for some reason. i have no logical explanation. i just have wanted to be canadian since i was a lil jessy. like.. 5. yes, its sad i know, but its true. and.. the lineage thing... i mean my parents grew up in canada, my grandparents (on both sides) grew up in canada, my great grand parents (on both sides) grew up in canada, and so on and so forth. i'm just happily going to go back to the apple butter thing... i have a little jar of not that great apple butter sitting in the back of my fridge, which i enjoy to have with peanut butter on a sandwich. i'm sorry brian/mick that you dont have any apple butter. but i do. so there. i asked my step mother if it should count as a fruit or not, just to make conversation, and she looked at me funny. she, for some reason, doesnt like it. and mary beth, your story was lovely, and where is this town? is this the same town that brian/mick said he gets his apple butter at in west virgina? ok.. b&s content... there was some person on ebay selling a 'pastie de les... ' i'm not going to try to spell the B word... shirt... is it real or fake? hmm... so i wonder. i didnt wake up till 3 today.. and then i was sleepy the entire day, and couldnt really do much.. and now its midnight, and i'm wide awake and i dont know what to do with myself. wish me luck, please. xoxox Jes +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
