But I suppose cussing her is old hat. >I made another mix-up regarding Isobel, which involved her lyrics.

Sinister: Radiant Icons In A Godless Age
by Vicki Rider 04 Sep '00

04 Sep '00

Hi!! Just having one of those post-Sinister overload moments where I'm thinking, "ahhh, I love the list, and each and every soul on it!". Maybe it's just a reflection of the times---these past three weeks have been very good to me since starting school. All my teachers are nice, people say hi to me in the halls, I have a great haircut, there's two groups I can sit with at lunch, and my editor's (hopefully) going to put my editorial on "Suvivor" in the school newspaper (saying it's a crap show, basically). I even saw "Breathless" and now I 'wanna get my hair cut short just like Jean Seberg'. But enough of that happy crap......... We've finally opened the windows in the house because at 10:39, it's finally cool out. Happy days! Except for a neighbor who's blasting that one song "CEEEEEEEEEEELABRATE GOOD TIMES, C'MON!!!!!!!!!!" I didn't even know that was a real song until now, having only heard it in commercials. Has anyone seen the movie "Little Murders", with Elliot Gould? I just watched it on cable the other night--completely insane and extremely great. Highly reccomended to anyone that hasn't. I love Peter & Gordon!! And not just because at my most desperate-in-need-of-a-haircut moments my crop resembled Peter's. Isn't McCartney the second voice on the chorus to "Woman"? I think it is but the question has been bothering me for years. Her Juiciness wrote >Rachel W, who apparently shares email with Vicki Rider (either that or she wants to >confuse the bejeesus out of us all)..... heehee! I'll just let everyone figure that one out. But my real name is Rachel--hi! A Funny Story Before I Go: I'm at my Dad's house, and when I go to bed I notice a pile of albums on my chair, stuff like John Denver, Seals & Croft, and the soundtrack to "Godspell". I'm thinking EEEK! What's going on?? My dad, who buys Yo La Tengo and Roxy Music normally, listening to this junk?? But anyway, I put it out of my mind and go to bed. The next morning I get up and the first thing dad says is "Rachel, give those albums in your room back to your mom (they've been divorced longer than I've been tying my shoes), for some reason I've ended up with them." And now it all made sense, and I laughed and laughed. **Sorry if no one found this funny and I've offended any John Denver fans. Once again slinking off with no B+S content to be found............... Cheers, Rachel W. :-) "I think I'm going out of style, and I've known it for awhile."-The Jesus & Mary Chain P.S. nifty subject, eh? It's what I've been calling all my tapes lately--nabbed it from a book on Warhol. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Everyone's in an autumn mood. Its nothing like it here in california (don't make fun of me). It was winter-like, last thursday, and i drank genmaicha to retaliate. Poo on the cold! (no offense to the cold, really, i have the utmost respect for it). then it was pretty much beautiful again. Lately, months into Fisheeclap, i've been skippin the first three tracks, listen to Miss Cracknell. I think it's the flutes (is it flute?) that make me do it. and the lalas do the same thing. it's like the flute but in the form of lalas. It makes my heart happy. I was slightly releived to hear that its sarah and not isobel. No offense to isobel, i think her voice lacks depth. I have decided that her voice lacks expression not because she lacks something to express, but she's too shy to express it... the lovely thing that happened today is, I danced! before i realized i was dancing, i was dancing.

Sinister: I was Sir Prize, I was crappy in a play in 1975...
by Lisa & Lee 03 Sep '00

03 Sep '00

Greetings Sinister type folk! In my groundbreaking (?) second ever post, I would like to return to my theme of amazedness. All of you lovely people (ya know, *y'all*) have been recommending or mentioning this band or that, and like a good little girlscout I've been scribbling all of the names down in order to scurry off to 33 degrees and check these folks out. I am overwhelmed with the plethora of absolute wonderment that has been oh so lovingly assaulting my ears ever since. Of note: Nick Drake: Can you believe I didn't know this man's musical gift?! I picked up "Five Leaves Left" and am in Luuuuuuve. Sodastream: veddy veddy nice! I,for one, like the classical shades and whispers on this. Looper: FUN music a go-go! I like cleaning my house to this. It's get up n' do something music! Magnetic Fields: Bought "Get Lost" first and then "The Wayward Bus". I'm still digesting the subtleties and sadness that IS the rawkin' 80s keyboard sound (bit schizo, eh?) of Stephin Merritt. Oh God, did you want to read all those mini reviews/reactions? Oh well, other folks have written far more eloquently on the same, so that is some comfort. No wait, it isn't. :-) I have discovered indie pop and am found where I thought I would be forever lost. Er, um, I mean I didn't know anyone still cared to make good music anymore...and am glad to know they do! Howdys to all the Texas sinister crew that emailed my after my first post; we will both pic and nic rather soon, I should think! I am waiting for better weather. Speaking of weather, I am jealous of all you folks who actually get to have autumn in September. It's still sad hot daze for us in Texas. It's the personal narratives which mean the most to me on this list (Hi there Ian N.!!), so keep 'em coming. Now if Sebastian and Belle the singer would ever traverse to the wildes of Texas, I would be completely happy... Yours in freeky geekdom (that's a good thing!!), Love n' stuff, Lisa xxxx p.s. I'm not blind, ya know. They overreacted to my glasses! +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Let�s make things clear......and let�s read what Grant McLennan has to say.....
by Jordi Trenzano 03 Sep '00

03 Sep '00

Hello.....have you all had a lovely summer ??? iŽd make a big description of what I did.....but as soon as I have to study, letŽs make a quick note.... First of all....ummm......Julie Cyberglam wants to make the people believe that I have some kind of truculent sexual preferences.......but itŽs just that writing a post to sinister while having a visit to the lovely and addictive sinister chatroom has itŽs dangers......and Julie betrayed me......she asked me the spanish translation of "fuck my silly monkey"...thatŽs all.....itŽs HER that you have to ask.... Well.....the spanish magazine Rockdelux features an interview with Grant McLennan, from the Go-Betweens....and he said: "The Smiths are a good band for singles. I donŽt think that they did a good complete album, but they convinced their fans that they were unforgettable. And theyŽre not better than the Go-Betweens or Belle and Sebastian". IsnŽt it cute ????? on the same issue of the zine it is also said that the LadyBug Transistor admire B&S as well....so letŽs forget about the Clientele.... And please, Magnetic Megan, watch out for what Julie drinks, ok ?

Sinister: completely off-message
by gogron 03 Sep '00

03 Sep '00

This has been a Belle & Sebastian free week, more-or-less. I wrote the first few lines of a song but, as usual the first few lines are as far as I get: I'm getting better at getting better, I'm getting faster at getting worse, Perhaps it's not you I need; Perhaps I just need a nurse. If one day I get over myself, And get some resolution, Then the drinks can go down Another drain, And leave me a simple solution. For the moment I'm not much willing; Old ways are too convincing, But these are temporary measures, Before my next attempt at living. I'd call it something pithy like 'they, themselves and this' but, the hell, it's too selfish and maudlin a little dirge to deserve further development. And I actually do have a life, but it's just a rather boring one and, of course, boredom is much easier to sustain in reasonable comfort than highs are. Mundanity isn't really so bad. I loved the Robert graves poem posted by Elizabeth Daphyn today. currently: reading *The Sunday Telegraph* and *Dog Days in Soho* watched *Accident* with Dirk Bogarde (highly recommended) listening to modern American music like Adams, Bill Frisell and a really good one called 'Charley's Prelude' by Louis C. Singer: it's got the same tune as a Gainsbourg song I saw a great two-screen video piece in Edinburgh yesterday, entitled 'Turbulent' by an Iranian woman (now living in America) called Shirin Neshat. On the one screen, a man stands in front of a microphone facing the camera. Behind him is an all-male audience, dressed in white shirts. The man proceeds to sing a 13thC sufi love poem to a gorgeous orchestrally backed melody. As this stops, one's attention is drawn to the other screen by a rhythmic muttering, and we see the silhouette of a chadored woman. The stuttering gets more intense and turns into a richly musical wail, that becomes a melodic cry, and the lights rise just enough for us to see the camera whirling a pan round the same auditorium, but this time it is empty. Back on the other screen, the man and his audience continue to stare, mutely. Electronic overdubs and delays are gradually transforming the woman's wail from devastating loneliness to a rich and beautiful battle cry, which is passionate, intense and powerful in the empty room and somehow more aligned with the cosmos than the world: her staccatto intonations sounding like galloping horses, dying away, into silence. In Iran it is currently forbidden for women to sing in public. there seems to be an 'autumn thread' spinning. I hate the end of summer, but I like the onset of winter: the season of wading through woodland leaves; the ghost-story season; frost; open fires (for those still lucky enough to have them) and cosy nights indoors... and mulled wine! So I try to find an autumn poem, albeit a rather sombre one: *The Golden Leaf* by Kathleen Raine: The floating of a leaf that fell A wounded star upon the tide Out of the world, free in farewell, I saw - not able to withhold The vanishing moment with my sight >From the lock of living heart, And down the rapid nerves, the light Plunged, where the thundering stream of blood Engulphs each mote within the eye, Upon the dark pool of my thought Turned slowly, sinking into the past, Then poised on a reflected sky. P.S. I think (from evidence elsewhere) that the poetess was in love with the idea of a man who lived by a waterfall next to the sea. This man existed, but he was real and not quite her 'idea' of him and he did not love her in return, for he was a manic depressive homosexual who cared only for the company of nature for the larger part. Of course, my interpretation stops short when I realise that she wrote the poem quite some years before she'd ever met the man to whom I refer. Incarnations of ideas are generally elusive Not very 'on topic' this post Gordon +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sure. She's cool! Anyone who starts off an album with the lyric "You fucked it up" and then proceeds to nick the riff from "Up the Junction" for the guitar solo in the same song (probably with Tifford and Dilbrook watching in the studio) is tops in my book! The new one is killer too. Just lovely . . . > and for that matter, elliott smith? I can't get enough of XO. The same person who turned me on to B&S also recommended Elliott Smith, and I bought XO and Sinister the same day. I can't remember the last time I so loved two records from the instant I first heard them. Someday I will tell the story of how I received promotional literature about B&S in the mail many years ago (when Sinister originally came out) and thought it would be something I liked. Sadly, I didn't go looking for it at the time. So I didn't happen to hear them until my friend David, who sings for a band in Los Angeles, suggested them. (He especially likes Fox in the Snow.) I loved the record, and B&S played in NYC about a month later, but both shows were sold out by the time I found out about them. And I almost went to Philadelphia to see them, but that show was canceled anyway because someone (Sarah?) was sick. So I'm still waiting. Anyway, someday I'll tell that story. > i'm just a sucker for melodic, alt. pop. sad, really. This is not sad! It's happy! This is where most of the good stuff is coming out nowadays.

Sinister: fido, your leash is too long
by Lawrence Mikkelsen 02 Sep '00

02 Sep '00

Just aquickie today, rather than some massive missive about who-knows-what. During the (extrememly protracted) recording of "Fold Your Hands Child ..." I recall reading that the band had recorded *more* than 20 songs. Taking in to account that there were 11 tracks on the album, and a further threee on the "Legal Man" single (and I don't even thing "Winter Wooksie" was recorded in those sessions), that leaves at least six, maybe more, currently completed (or almost completed) but unreleased B&S tracks. Is there anyone on this list who is intimate enough with the band to know exactally what was left off the album? I note with hope and interest that there was mention thatthe band were working on new material (in the press release which came out about the tour next year). Wouldn't it be grand if there was already half an album in the wings, and we got a new one early next year to coincide with the tour? Or at least maybe some new EPs or singles. I can but live in hope. Oh, bloody hell The Field Mice are good. Thanks to all the people who mailed me and recommended I get the "Where'd you learn to kiss that way?" album. It's grand, and quite different from what I was expecting. I'm in love ...... How come no one has mentioned how brilliant "Good Fruit" by Hefner is? Did anyone tape their session last week? Anyone? anyone? I'd LOVE a copy, and could *poissibly* repay you handsomely. Right, I'm off ......

Sinister: a primrose-sniffing mafiosa

...is what I would be if it were springtime. But it isn't, and instead the evil blowy swirly rainy season of autumn is upon us. "September's not so far away". Too bloody right, it's here already. I do actually like autumn, when the leaves all go nice colours and then fall into soggy rotting heaps all over the pavement. When the sky goes all steely and clouds get torn into ribbons and the heavens open and you get soaked. When the- As I said, I do actually like autumn. For one thing, it's my birthday quite soon (also the anniversary of the Battle of Hastings). But anyone coming to the Oxford picnic tomorrow would be best advised to bring a brolly, as although the weather forecasts have been mildly optimistic, I trust those buggers as far as a can throw them. Which would probably be quite a way if one could throw something as inchoate as a television signal, but I'm a suspicious sort and therefore I will be stepping out with my clear plastic Sixties-style umbrella. Nice. Meeting: Fuggle & Firkin pub off Gloucester Green (see previous post in archives for map and stuff) at 2pm. Proceeding to park-type area if not raining. Moving to more salubrious pub if it is. Ring me on 0771 301 4742 if you want.
