Sinister: Spread the Love
by Brian Pennington 24 Jan '01

24 Jan '01

Hi Sinister, Well, I've done something for the obscure B&S collectors among you. Today I made some MP3s of some of the rarer stuff I have so that everyone can hear it. I don't have any good way of sharing it so I'm on Napster right now and my username is Mickmcmick. I've only got a 56k connection so please bear with me. Hopefully the tracks will spread somewhat virally. Here's what I encoded: "Tigermilk" Instrumental: Well I'm not 100% certain this is the elusive Tigermilk Instrumental, but it's an instrumental the band played in Barcelona, 1997, and it hasn't been released yet. So since the only instrumental we've heard mention of is the Tigermilk Instrumental I tentatively gave it that name. It's not the world's greatest song or anything, but it's interesting to hear it. Studio version of Loneliness of the Middle Distance Runner: there are versions of this song circulating on Napster but they're just live cuts. This one was recorded in a studio and features Stevie's guitar very prominently. I put the word studio in the name of the MP3 so that you can distinguish between this one and the live versions. Rhoda: This one's also been making the rounds in MP3 form, but the MP3 circulating was only recorded at 96 kbps, this one is 160. Also, the version circulating is very, very quiet. This one is a normal volume, although it has more tape hiss. Most importantly, the other version had the beginning of the song nicked off after the first line or so of lyrics. This one has the whole song. It's not a massive improvement but I figured while I was at it... Hurley's Having Dreams: This is one of the three Stuart Murdoch/Rhode Island demos, I think a lot of people have it on tape but I haven't seen it at all on Napster. So I encoded it. Pocketbook Angel / London Has Let Me Down Again: The other two demos. These are on Napster, but when I downloaded them from Napster I found them to be of horriffic quality with ungodly amounts of tape hiss. So I recorded my (marginally better) copies and filtered out a lot of the hiss. In fact I filtered tape hiss out of all of these and encoded them all at 160 kbps. So for the ones which are already on Napster just look for the 160 kbps versions. Well, I liked Sophie's theory about the mystery third Legal Man track. That makes a lot of sense. They did sort of the same thing with 3...6...9 didn't they? Oh and if anyone has a place to host these songs let me know, that would be much easier. -- Brian Pennington, aka Mick McMick | cellophanesky(a)mac.com | ICQ# 39021436 Sandcastle Records: <http://www.indiepages.com/sandcastle/> the Cellophane Sky:<http://home.earthlink.net/~cellophanesky/the/index.html> "Better a tear of truth than smiling lies." - Duncan Browne +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i miss london. but york's ok.
by Feather Boa 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

hi there sinister. how are you? would you like a madeline cake? cup of tea? i was checking the archive a while ago and discovered that today is my sinisterary, that is to say my sinister anniversary. so i vowed to post, and here i am. and what a year it has been, a veritable rollercoaster ride *s* of twee fun. i honestly can't imagine life without it anymore. the boy that i told you about, the twee one that lives on my corridor, gave me his legal man t-shirt because he said it was "too girly" on him, and it is very lovely, and he wouldn't even take money for it. wow. and i got a mug and the bus t-shirt for christmas from my parents, so i feel properly belle and sebastianed up now. which is kind of a worry, because the manics have something new out soon, and i'm going to have to be a manics fan again, i suppose. or maybe i can combine the two in an exciting b&s/manics crossover... i wonder if there's a precedent for this. also i have been listening to iyfs recently, i like it very much indeed. especially get me away from here i'm dying (because that's how i'm feeling at the moment) and dylan in the movies. and may i just ask, how twee a song is mayfly? it is positively ridiculous. but very pleasant all the same. grrr, people mentioned seeing the magnetic fields in hammersmith, i could have been there. except that i'm in freezing york. damn it. but hopefully those lovely folks at the student newspaper will be getting me tickets for marble valley (steve west from pavement plus some members of salako), next monday. my friend has decided not to speak to me anymore, and i feel like i'm going through the world's worst break up. i can't understand it at all, and i can't stand to be near him anymore because he's being so horrible to me. it makes no sense. so in order to relieve my massive amounts of pent up aggression, i have been going swimming fairly often, which is pretty amazing considering that i hadn't been swimming in like 2 years before. i was inspired by my (er?) cousin who came to visit at christmas, and she's over 60 and still goes swimming every day. i figured if she could do it then so could i. but maybe not every day. once a week is alright. ok that's my 15 minutes of fame. pip pip, FB X ******************************** www.chickclick.com Sign up for free email. http://chickmail.chickclick.com Win free stuff! http://contests.chickclick.com ******************************** +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: gonna see the river man, gonna tell him all i can, about the plan
by chris perriman 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

after all the talk of baxendale a few weeks back i happened on an ep called 'new distractions ep vol. 1' on lowsley sound recordings with, as the lead track baxendale's'the future' which has modem sounds on it*. is this song reprasentative of their style as it's the only baxendale song i've heard. the other tracks are'tonka toy' by the teenbeat, 'we're gonna rock paris' by ricky spontane and 'urina' by abbey grange. if anybody has any info on these other bands i'd apreciate it. the record's on the thickest vinyll ive ever seen, it's absolutely massive, it weighs the same as a 12" but it's only a 7! listening to john martyn's solid air, cool song. written about nick drake i'm told ---------------------------------------------------------------------- *TO SOPH* who was talking about flares. the best flares i know of are made by a company called pop jeans, the only places i've seen them are in newcastle and leeds but i'm sure they'll be available in london village somewhere. probably behind the village hall, just off trufflegar square [expertly stuck together with the finest DJ glue] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- has anybody ever tasted terrific turtles? those green n' yellow sweets you used to get that i was addicted to wgen i was 7, you remember? well anyway i found them in a shop and proceeded to buy a wholebox for three quid and have eaten half of them and am feeling a bit sick but am being forced to eat more by some weird part of my brain that dosn't realise that i'll actually vomit if i eat any more... no... stop it... aaaargh, my hands are forcing the sickly sweet gorgeous rubbery little amphibians down my throat by the handfull... noooooo. ok, gotta stop now love n' hugs from the happy world of haribo pez* *looper's album 'the geometrid' was playing in the shop when i bought the record with baxendale on, what's more 'modem song' was definately playing when i payed for the record, wich is a major coincedence, don't you think _________________________________________________________________________ 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: Smut !!
by mark waudby 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

I was sitting around the house over the festive period and, with nothing much else to do, found myself making up dirty Belle & Sebastian song names and had a merry old chuckle to myself. Then I thought 'Hey! Wouldn't all the people on Sinister love to know the product of my shallow little mind? Of course they would'. And here we are. Please think of your own and we can have a compendium of dirtiness. So, to kick off: Don't Leave Your Tights On Baby; Swing Your Cock Around; Seeing Other Peoples Bits; The Position I Am In; If You're Feeling Ministers; and, of course, Oh Come, Oh Come Emmanuel Please don't kick me off the list, Honey, God told me to do it. Ok, He didn't. Sorry. mark _________________________________________________________________________ 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: itv were using the auteurs 'lenny valentino' behind a trailer fo
by fiona 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

hey there campers, ooh, i'm almost beginning to feel like a lurker, but i promised myself i wouldn't post until i'd cleared out the back log of sinifilth from my inbox, but i've given up with about 70 to go. its these exams you see, they make me feel guilty if i even so much as look at a computer because i know i'll spend hours on the internet instead of struggling over complex calculus and the like. i really meant to take them seriously this time, but here i am again sending emails and designing flyers when i have two exams tomorrow and i think i've already done badly enough so that i'm going to be thrown off the honours course. *sigh* i'll never have hons after my name. i have a suspision that none of you really want to know about that, so instead i'll tell you about the problem i'm having in my house. at the beginnign of the uni year i moved in with to a house with five of my mates, now they're all really lovely, but one way or another, over the past four months i've managed to alienate myself from them. its a culmination of things really; i spend a lot of time with my boyfriend, out of all of them i don't have anyone that i'm really really close to, we don't have a living room where we all hang out (we have a room but there's no tv in it so no-one uses it), i don't really feel comfortable with the idea of just popping into other people's rooms for a chat when i don't know if i'm welcome, and to top it all off, they all do courses which don't involve as much work as mine so i spend a lot more time hiding in my room on my own. (oh no i hate long paragraphs) so now, my only contact with my housemates is a civil hello if i pass them on the stairs or in the kitchen. they don't even invite me to the pub anymore. this is probably the most stupid problem anyone has ever had, and almost entirely self-inlicted, but its really starting to upset me, and i don't know what to do. it makes me feel very lonely. on a lighter note, today i'm wearing really dark lipstick. i don't usually paint my mouth during the day, but i was feeling in a n adam ant mood this morning and decided to go for it. the only problem now is that i'm sat in a room with no mirrors and i'm convinced that its smudged and bleeding all over my face, and every time someone looks at me, i think thats the reason. actually this would be the perfect opportunity to approach total strangers in a "does my bum look big in this?" fashion, but i probably won't. shyness will overtake me once again. now this isn't gratuitous content, its something i genuinely heard, does anyone else know about the rumour that chris geddes is dj at a bar round the corner from my house in manchester on my birthday? its coincidental that the date i was told was my birthday, but it made me feel special nonetheless. ok then kids, i think i've bored you enough for now (and i used to write such good posts) wishing you love and irn-bru, (and for those of you who don't know, i started that before ken and his red bull) fiona. help me!!! i can't stop listening to 'one and only' by chesney hawkes +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I hung out, with all my insect friends...
by Neil Milton 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

Hi guys, its been a long time since my last post... since Jason left us infact, and now he's back... welcome young man... so... I happened along to the old fruitmarket on Saturday night, y'know, as you do... well, it was quite crafty y'see, I decided that I'd go to see the delgados, and then had to decide who I should go with... The girfriend, y'might think... yep... that was a good idea... I managed to keep it from her right up until we got inside the venue... boy, did she get a surprise... Superb... lots of brownie points scored! anyway, the gig was superb. Arab Strap played in support, and damn they were good... Aidan's first words of the night were 'this was a mistake.' Thankfully, it was not. The delgados came on to a loud cheer, and proceeded to prove why they are so special to me and so many others. alun dropped his guitar during 'make your move' and Paul fucked up the beat for 'The past that suits you best' but you still looked upon the band as if they were the most important thing that your eyes will ever come across. Funniest bit of the night, has to have been the football chat... Stewart - "Le Tissier for the 'well" Emma - "Queens Park. You have to come... theres only six hundred of us there every saturday" Alun - "Football is pish. All footballers are dicks!" Anyway, tonight, is my own band's gig. At the 13th Note cafe (8:30PM admission free if anyone is interested) and its our first... a wee bit anxious but I wouldn't say nervous... yet! You may or may not have heard of us... we are called Troika, and we are rather influenced by Idlewild, the Gang of Four, and (ever so slightly) by Mogwai and slint. We are also playing in Strawberry fields on the 9th February, then On Air East in dundee on the 23rd Feb. then again on the 15th March at the 13th note cafe (as part of Single Point of Light's residency) anyway, apart from all that... I'm looking forward to Wednesday night at Sleazy's... Dave Pajo from Slint, and Stuart Mogwai playing acoustic... POST ROCK HEAVEN! I'll be there, are any of you guys going? S.D.'s new book... can some one give me some info on it, as I don't have it yet and feel I'm missing out on something... Anyway, I gotta go just now but... Jason... c you tonight amy... ditto jenOwl... if you could come along it'd be nice to c you. cyall soon, neil troika ===== "he has no idea where he's at or where he's been."

Sinister: I need to know!
by idleberry 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

So you need to tell me! When is Burns night? I forgot! I went to buy a diary yesterday and ended up at the pub by mistake. Um. Yeah, not doing well at uni. Need words of encouragement there please. Any words. Random useful words. Ideally constructed into sentences. Bit unhappy about the whole thing, looks like I'm going to belly flop it. And what should I do as a brilliant career? Decided that all those sort of arty whims in me that come out every so often (result: me buying loads of mad things) want to work for me. Where do I start? Anything fun. Any ideas? My careers advisor yesterday just looked at me, his watch and whinged about his indigestion. I got this booklet, see, and it said "What to do if you don't have a clue" and I thought, aha! thats me! I am clueless! And it said 2go and speak to a careers advisor! So I did! And what a useless old f*rt he was too! Pah! So, heres the outline: Have to work in Scotland (due to homesickness, I miss Scotland sooo badly. Plus, Scotland is more fun) Have to earn good money. �19k+ Have not got to sit behind a desk all day. Get to go out and about and do stuff. Have to use my imagination. Have to sound cool when I tell people what I do for a living. (naturally). And thats it. Any careers advisor wannabes out there? Okay, awaiting your help.

Sinister: Drowning in sweet seas of academia....
by Photojenni27＠aol.com 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

Hello again.... Let's set the scene, it's a muggy, rainy, grey Tuesday in the college and all I can hear is "This is a silent area!" repeated and screamed over and over again like a mantra indented into my brain. My pigtails are falling out and I keep having to make sure that all my precious possessions like my sweeties and my mobile phone *evil thing that it is* don't fall out of my coat pocket. Cay is bored and lonely, and fed up with having to eke out an education and work as a lowly waitress to achieve her dreams. She dreams of the day when she'll be the glitterati who everyone wants to read and see and be. The exams are officially over and I've been getting my results back, but I have no one to celebrate the fact with. All the people I know in Manchester are just acquaintances who I'm too scared to phone. My two best friends are at art college and University in London and my wee boy lives in Leeds. College is nice, but you're surrounded by new *Rawkers* here who don't want to slip into this sweet little world. This is getting far too self-indulgent now, so I'll stop and get onto proper things... The new version of AOL (6.0) I installed on my computer seems to like chewing up and spitting out the posts I've been sending to Sinister recently, so I'm having to post them from the net based version of AOL (2.0) Whilst Honey is a very nice list mummy, she doesn't seem to have had any experience with the evils of AOL and so doesn't know how to turn the control off that will give me passage to this world. Hence, this is a cry for help. Does anyone else use this program and now how to turn off the switch that turns my posts into html based spagetti? As for those evil Nick Drake posts, the weird thing is I've been getting them too, but this was even before I was let out of the nursery which was about a month ago. Hence, I have a feeling that this creep is looking for peeps on Yahoo clubs too who have a liking for Nick Drake. Hopefully the estate will find out and stop it before it gets crazily out of hand. When reading the posts the other night somebody said that she'd been thrown off Napster by Jeff Buckley's mother. How? Why? I've been downloading Jeff Buckley stuff and this hasn't hapenned to me. Sounds a bit too scary for my liking considering that she's selling away her son's life to the highest bidder. B&S are doing the soundtrack to a film...*yey!* I like the sound of that so long as the film is a good one. I'm sure I've seen a Hal Hartley film but I'm not sure which one. I still have to read Stuart David's novel (I didn't even know that he'd written one!) Looks like it's off to the bookshop with me now once I've gotten some money. *Starsailor* are utterly lovely from the two songs I've heard so far. They may get bogged down and tarnished but for now they shine like North-Western stars and I desperately need to get their song "Love is here," either by fair means or foul. Hopefully I'm going to see them this weekend with those lovely scallywags Alfie and run away before JJ72 (NOOOO!!)But I'm torn between this and a cocktail party in Leeds where I can all dressed up and drunk for free. *Decisions, Decisions* Well, that's my ramblings over and done with for now I think. Apologies for the self-indulgence at the beginning! Love, Lollipops and History exams....

Sinister: She lay in bed all night,watching the colours change from green to gold
by Joan of Dark 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

Johnny turned 16.... And we are just walking around in circles until tears fill our eyes and our vision gets blurred. Until you can't make out your way home. And it's dark. And its cold. Everything seems surreal if you look closely. If you stop thinking about yourself and look closely. And see the details. And the combinations which you cant grasp. The things that can make the grinds of your mind creak dangerously. Most frighteningly. And then you desperately want to know why you won't ever again be able to live this moment. Never again. tick tack tick tack.... ...moment to moment The End comes closer. Then " Le Pastie " comes on the radio when you're cleaning tables..." you drop the tray and go berserk"..... and then you come to l i v e Belle and Sebastian. Or is it that Belle and Sebastian have become a way of living perhaps? Cos I work as a waitress. Sort of . Such a Belle and Sebastian-ish job. It's this thought that gets me though. When I haven't even finished studying for my Uni exams that start tomorrow....I could be -your- waitress. Sort of . But I wouldn't really want to be the waitress of any of the 1400 of you. Cos I wouldn't want to hate any of you. As I hate the eyes of people. Scanning my body and sneaking in the creases and openings of my clothes. Their mouths that don't tell me that my shirt has been unbuttoned as I pick the broken glass from the floor. By that time " Le Pastie " is gone.....and all that's left to me is " La Bourgeoisie". Belle and Sebastian? I have a strange tendency to write their full name. I only own 2 of their albums and 3 ep's (The salary of a waitress is not that high you know.Or you may not know as well ) Although I might not listen to them that much ,or not at all lately....But I love them more than anything. Well...not -them- I can't even tell who is who , apart from Isobell and Sarah, if I saw them in a picture . But, as I am trying to save something of the simplicity of my long lost childhood, the precious moments of utter happiness in the sight of a butterfly flying against the sun or a single candy; I can find fragments of my bruised, numb self, or a faint dream of an innocence I don't even remember losing playing hide and seek in-between lyrics that are a wee bit dissonant near the end and scattered notes of melodies swept by the breeze, words whispered under one's breath. My fingers are cold. And my heart hurts in my chest sometimes. Like it's torn apart. And it opens up in two. And I hit my chest with my fist. So that the hit will get deeply in. And then the pain might go.For a while. Johnny turned 16. Who is going to make h i s pain go?? And I am 19 and can only cheat my pain for a little while. But above all, myself. Life, but how to live it? xxx joanna - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "but youth is only being in a way like it might be an animal. no, it is not just like being an animal so much as being like one of those malenky toys you viddy being sold in the streets, like little chello-vecks made out of tin and with a spring inside and then a winding handle on the outside and you wind it up grrr grrr grrr and off it itties , like walking, O my brothers. But it itties in a straight line and bangs straight into things bang bang and it cannot help what it is doing. Being young is like being one of these malenky machines..."

Sinister: of cabbages and kings
by Lawrence Mikkelsen 23 Jan '01

23 Jan '01

Stuart David losing the plot. Yes. I agree. I think he is , perhaps, trying a little too hard to over compensate for being in Belle & Sebastian. It's my suspicion that the this new-found hardness comes from a dislike of the twee indie fraternity and an attempt to distance himself from the label of "ex-Belle & Sebastian bass player". Still, I'll probably buy his new book ... I though "Nalda Said" was brilliant. **HONEY-CHAMPION OF THE PEOPLE** Honey, you are the guardian of goodness in a net-world of evil. I assumed that the Nick Drake spam was from a listee. The site is quite nice, but I just really object to people using the list to fob off stuff. Cause lets face it, the shirts he's selling on the site are a) probably not authorised by Nick Drake's estate, and b) probably iron-on transfers put onto shirts, which you could probably do yourself. I'm sure no one would have really minded if there was a link the site in the signature live of the listee's posts. But ..... well, etiqiete, people. C'mon ..... **AND SPEAKING OF SPAM!!!!** if that bloody lowfly guy e-mails me ONE MORE TIME I swear I will fly all the way to Portugal and kick his ass. Spam is one thing ... huge graphic attachments on my slow dial up connection are another thing all together. **ADONIS** (or lack thereof) I have joined a gym. Basically because I am sick of sweating when I eat or walk up hills.

But I answered "no" to avoid confusion. **STARSAILOR** Hearing good things. Anyone seen them live? Any comments? I've pre-ordered their debut single. Hope they're not all just hype. Speaking of hype, I managed to see Coldplay at a private gig here in Auckland last week. They were really good .... much looser and more laid back live than on record. It was very exclusive, but I managed to find out the *secret address* andhuing around outside, and they let me in. They played pretty much all of "Parachutes" plus two new songs and covers of "You Only Live Twice" and "What the World Needs Now Is Love". Bravo ..... Well, to bed, to sleep, perchance to ....
