Sinister: Return of the Mac
by robin stout 19 Oct '01

19 Oct '01

Oh, hello again It's raining outside, my toes are soaking, so I thought I'd write to you. It's been a while since I've had anything to say. I thought I'd find out some stuff about Belle and Sebastian and astonish you with it. So I watched some telly. We love 1997 didn't mention Belle and Sebastian at all. It started me thinking that in history books of the future, the sort you'd have beamed directly into your brain, most of the things that I think are important wouldn't make it in there at all. They wouldn't have a chance. People would be having their retro nineties parties and dressing up as H from Steps not Stuart Murdoch. And I decided that in a few years time when everyone's listening to their space music and eating moon-toast, sinister might be the only thing from my version of the world that's left. Then I thought I'd write to you. Because Sinisters a repository for our thoughts, isnt it? Its as close as we can get to carving things in stone these days. We carve things into electromagnetic bleeps instead. I remember reading somewhere, not long ago, about an ancient philosopher, and how he hadnt written anything down but historians had still found out all about him and what he thought. The reason they knew, after his teachings had been lost for hundreds of years, was that someone the philosopher knew had kept a diary, and in this diary were all sorts of things about the philosopher and all of his ideas, along with shopping lists and moans about his wife. But the reason archaeologists had found this diary at all, with all its fascinating stories, was because the man had CHISELLED IT INTO HIS BEDROOM WALL, and the archaeologists had found the wall. It took that much. I wonder how solid this Sinister wall of ours is. I started my new job recently. It's not bad, I thought it would be scary but it isn't. I share my office with someone called Paul and he told me he'd started getting strange stalker-like emails from someone he didn't know. She thought he was a poet, and kept telling him how she really liked the poem he'd written on a web-site. I suggested that maybe she'd got the wrong address and asked what his was. "It's foxinthesnow(a)something.com" "Oh. Fox in the snow? That's a good name." "Yeah, it's a song by a band called Belle and Sebastian." "Oh, I see." Then I told him how I knew that already. I decided that I was going to like Paul. Thing is, there's a good chance his stalker's one of YOU. You freaks! Leave him alone. Someone (sorry I can't remember who) sent in a story about a bloke who drank too much Red Bull. It reminds me of a court case involving a bewhiskered old colonel. The colonel was in the dock for assaulting his secretary. Hed never laid a finger on anyone before, unless you counted all the fuzzy-wuzzys hed had up the Khyber, and since his moustaches had begun to droop and his military bearings were rusting up a bit hed become a mellow old fellow. So what had happened? It turned out, as the case unfolded, that with all those long mornings and long afternoons of his retirement, and after theyd killed off Arthur Fowler in Eastenders, the colonel had begun to drink increasing amounts of tea. The usual two or three cups a day werent enough anymore, and by the time of the assault he was drinking fifty litres a day. That day the secretary hadnt had his tea ready for him when he asked maybe she was trying to get him to give it up and he lost it, his mind was transported back to his time out East, and he attacked the secretary like she was a native weeing up against the tent. In the end he was acquitted, the official reason was that he had been suffering delusions as a result of his tea addiction. My A to Z reading list isnt going as well as could be hoped, Im only up to D, and all the authors I know whose names begin with D, Dickens, Dosdoevsky, etc., write really long books so itll take me ages to get to E. Part of the problem is that some letters, like J and M, are going to be really exciting, but therell be a lot of other letters to get through before I get to Martine McCutcheons autobiography. God, this was long, wasn't it? Sorry if you've fallen asleep. I should be working anyway. bye Stout Robin _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: you made me forget my dream team
by Rachel Playforth 19 Oct '01

19 Oct '01

i've just been exiled from my own house for 4 days while we got central heating put in. i had a stinking cold the whole time and was really looking forward to coming back and snuggling up to a radiator. but despite dust and general plumber-type shit everywhere, the bloody boiler isn't even working. but hey, it's autumn and i love this season of mists and mellow fruitfulness, although i think john keats was remarkable charitable considering the arrival of cold weather must have been a nightmare for consumptives. i've got really into this indie dream team idea and am currently installing my 16 in a fantasy indie mansion where we will discuss music, literature and fashion while reclining on fantasy indie sofas and eating fantasy crisps. joining me will be: 1. stuart murdoch (b&s) (special responsibility for sweeping floors) 2. pj harvey (solo) (girl) 3. nick drake (solo) (obsolete) 4. stuart david (looper/b&s) 5. jarvis cocker (pulp) 6. stuart staples (tindersticks) 7. thom yorke (radiohead) 8. michael stipe (rem) (foreign) 9. robert forster (go-betweens) (foreign) 10. kate rusby (solo) (girl) 11. joe pernice (pernice bros etc) (foreign) subs 1. anthony harding (hefner/solo) 2. morrissey (smiths/solo) 3. isabel campbell (b&s/gentle waves) (girl) 4. neil hannon (divine comedy) 5. liz fraser (cocteau twins) (girl) this sort of thing beats work any day. caleb mentioned rachels, the neo-classical combo as opposed to the sinister massive. i went to see them in brighton last year and very sweet they were too. slightly soporific, but none the worse for that. will porter, i'll come and work in your library any day. i had a great time when i worked in the library here, spending quiet moments drifting indie-ly along the ancient, rickety balcony which so appropriately housed the poetry collection. also it was hotbed of barely-suppressed sexuality (no, it really was) which is always a bonus. unfortunately i started to get stalked by a homeless guy who would come in and have imaginary conversations with his mother at the payphone before finding a chair and staring at me for hours on end. (echoes of hefner there.) i think we should have a sinister picnic in a library. i dreamed i was in york last night, and got lost trying to find my boyfriend's room in derwent college. not surprising, as he never lived there. strangely, i recall thinking very clearly in the dream: i really should try to meet up with the york massive while i'm here. hope you're all flattered :) luv archel xxx *************************************** archel(a)iname.com For the best in new writing on the web, visit www.buzzwords.org.uk Contact us on buzzwords(a)bigfoot.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Me and the Major...
by sweet adeline 19 Oct '01

19 Oct '01

Hello, This is obviously my first post, and it's been a long and harrowing day, so this may be a bit disjointed. I'm fairly new to the world of B&S, but they've become somewhat familiar companions during my daily train rides in and out of downtown Chicago. Certain songs are now associated with particular landmarks, like Simple Things with the graffiti at the edge of an industrially destroyed field that says "picture us somewhere else". I always look for that, but when I try and explain it to anyone, they just look at me as though I'd asked them which brand of diapers they find most absorbent. But onward. I'm another bookshop girl, relegated to the children's section, and most of my workdays are a blur of escalators and credit cards. It would be somewhat bleak except for beautiful scenery and loveable, snide coworkers. It seems like all of you enjoy anecdotes, and it's been fun reading all around. Here's one of mine for your reading (dis) pleasure. Chicago, like any city, is full of characters, some incredibly fun, some tragic, some that are frightening beyond description. Once, on a night that i was working quite late, I left work and headed for Walgreens, when I ran across a man dressed as Jesus, complete with a cross slung over one shoulder that looked as though it were nailed together with love. I followed him inside, and decided to see what his drugstore needs were. I caught up with him in the snack aisle, selecting a package of hostess cupcakes, and the whole thing was somehow a poem in and of itself: the cross, the cupcakes, and the deliberately deadpan faces of the cashiers and customers. I guess he felt he was fulfilling his purpose in roaming the streets in his garb, and any hint of absurdity had the importance of a paper scrap scuttling by his feet. Well, I am being assaulted with pitiful looks by my hungry significant other, so I suppose I should go away again.

Sinister: Belle and Johan Sebastian Bachman Turner Overdrive
by Calumn 19 Oct '01

19 Oct '01

Hello! Nothing of interest in here, I'd get to that delete key quick! It's getting harder to think up subject headings here, this is why I don't post as often as I should. I'm even harboring a suspicion that I've used that one before. I'm on a train. I *can't* check the archives. (but I have a collection of digests, and I'm not afraid to use them!) Anyway, as promised (threatened) by sinister's own Mr. Quiff (should there be a rule regarding minimum sentence length imposed on Mr. Richard. Gill. And. Ers. ?) I 'm posting once again. With lots of brackets (I like them, they turn me on) Quite a lot's happened since I last posted (digest #460!! Has it really been that long?) so bear with me, and I'll try to give you the highlights, by (ab)using the long-held sinister tradition of SUBJECT HEADINGS. PICNICS Well, there was a summer, wasn't there? Loads and loads of people came to visit me in GLASGOW (they may not have arrived for me *exclusively*, except for Ken, who was looking to pick up a couple of tips for pulling the ladies. And Lady wasps, apparently!) I visited EDINBURGH, too - there I am, in the right of the picture. Fisticuffs were averted at the last minute. Sorry. DUNDEE next. A meeting with a famous dog, and The Girl. I Can't wait, It'll be GRATE! PUBS There have been rather more of these than there should have been. Just ask my bank manager - don't tell him you've seen me, OK? I met more people that probably thought I was a bit scary. I am. WhoooHoooHooo! WEDDING BELLES My Car smiled. So did everyone else. Ailsa wore White. Flattering. Ally wore Red(Dress). Flirting. I wore Green(Hunting). Flatulent. Someone else didn't wear pants. I'm not telling who *she* was. GIGALICIOUS Joan of Arse - Amazing. Dudley Corp - Astounding. Time is fleet~<urk> whoopsie. Almost sang a verboten song there. Mr. Joss has to be the hardest working drummer in showbiz. I managed to get his drumsticks, then give them away. Did the Belles play? I can't remember. I saw Camera Obscura play in a church hall, although I almost saw an "excellent" guitar recital instead. Looking forward to the Lucksmiths in Glasgow. That'll be Blinding. VISITING DIGNITARIES, in no particular order. It was really nice to finally meet: Oztralian. With a talent for Drinking and Singing and Playing Guitar. And Falling Over. American. With a talent for Carwashoke and Moaning. Greek. With a talent for Hugs and JoJo possession. American *and* Greek (!) With a talent for Art, Writing and Dancing. HONORABLE MENTIONS, amphetabetically. That bit where I fire off a few quick cryptic messages. Skip this bit if your name's not here! (I wouldn't worry about it too much even if it is!) Ally96 - Daphne & Celeste. It's been too long. Breams - AhludjeyaCnt. Or something. Dahling - I have My Ring safe and sound in my "special things" drawer. GHD - Still out there? Miss you, man. KenDobber - Can you explain the dealer button to me, please? PF - Not Whales. Wails. I stayed Here, she went There. What was it you said about love again? Pookie - I promised I would, and I haven't - I will. I Promise. ;-) Vel - More Turkish delight, please. Nose sugar sounds like drugs. But isn't. I'm still preparing the reply present. And If I've forgotten anyone... Please remind me! Better stop before I get a digest all to myself ;-) YOU FORGOT A BIT Oh, B&S content? Well, I've heard the maths teachers song, Marks and Angles. I was forced to, honest! And very nice it is too. That do? YES, THANK YOU - FINISH UP NOW See you in #Sinsiter. Or, indeed, #sinister ;-) Love and chocolate buttons! Cal. xxxx Sinister Hotel Management, in the style of Basil Fawlty. PS - http://www.btinternet.com/~calumn/images/cdcover.jpg - anyone else think I look like John Mayall?

Sinister: i wish that something wouldn't happen
by Kyla Schuller 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

at the sandwich shop this afternoon i ordered a sandwich. tuna, to be precise. the man behind the counter, who was forced to cease his conversation with the man with a chin-goiter the size of my fist, began its preparation. i like this man, for once he told me the story behind his "iconco destruction pass," which allowed him inside-access to the million square foot building being leveled a block away. i was suitably impressed, and changed my mind about stealing the pass when his back was turned. as he fixed my lunch, he asked a few questions. would you like any salad? candy? lingerie? my lip curled. sick. he's twice my age and all i want is my bloody sandwich. furthermore, i look about 10 years old today, with my hair sticking straight out in 1 inch long pigtails above my ears, matched by a column of hair shooting straight up on top of my head. certainly not anyone's idea of attractive. what can you do. we might as well give up right now. good thing we're bombing the poorest country in the world. it would be unamerican of us not to. good thing we're looking for a puppet government to install. where would democracy be without us. a wise sinisteree has advised me to the presence of Anthrax's statement on anthrax. turns out our heavy metal heroes aren't so hardcore after all. --kyla __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: "So twee they're almost fey!"
by Kate Keenan 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

Hello Sinister! I'm a new person who was flinging myself against things in the frustration of being in the nursery so long and then, finally finding the door left open one fine day, suddely became tongue-tied and toddled back to play with my see n' say. So I've been lurking. And of course the more fantastic you all are, and the longer I wait, the more the pressure builds... I want to make my debut in stunning array but I'n never quite up to it. So I'm going to stop being so silly and just start with not a bang but a whimper. Or at least a bashful mumble. I was reading Caleb Ben Moore's (A.K.A.R.A.W.) post about personal slang and thought it only fitting to ask b&s fans (Scottish at heart) if anyone else indulges in the phrase, "What am I, scotch mist?" used in much the same circumstances as chopped liver might be. It was a great favorite of my dad's. Whenever I pull that one out, my Canadian friends' eyes water with what I (like to) think is bemused glee. My Italian-Canadian too-cool-for-even-indie friend has started to bandy it about in his circles and it is apparently causing quite a stir... So there you have it. Sorry to barge in like that without a more formal introduction but if I may say, it feels like I've known you all my lives. Much Love, Kate p.s. I humbly offer my alliterative super-powers as Kate Keenan - not to encroach on the initial territory of the flooringly clever and cool (Klever and Kool? (Oh why don't I just give up, I'll never reach such heights!)) Kristen Kenyon. p.p.s. The suject line is my friend Mark's slogan for Belle and Sebastian. He uses it slightly condescendingly but I think it's quite A-OK. p.p.s. upon proof-reading, I should clarify, I'm not a "new person" in the sense of having spontaneously materialized from the ether moments ago, merely new to sinister. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I thought, this time, my subject line will be dead short, snappy, get to the point, sum up things in a concise and intelligent manner while being still enjoyable and informative, not just garbled rubbish and what I eventually came up with was this..."abcz" I felt it really said everything.

Indie 11: Kurt Wagner (lambchop (OK, so not really "indie") Ben Folds Mr E Jonathan Donahue Stuart Braithwaite (Ben Folds Five) (Eels) (Mercury Rev) (Mogwai) Jack White Nina Persson Emiliana Torrini Richard Ashcroft (White Stripes) (Cardigans, A Camp) (solo) (Verve) Jarvis Cocker Aphex Twin (Pulp) (Again, not really indie) I think my team would be pretty rubbish, y'know. I played in a 5-a-side competition at school a few weeks ago and we lost 10-1. Admittedly, we made the main qualification for membership that you didn't know the Offside Rule and were well known to be absolute bollocks at anything involving sport. we wanted to call our team "3 geeks, 1 Fat Boy and an Indian" but we weren't allowed even though everyone in the team thought it was Ok. it was unfair, considering someone else got "4 Jews and a Wannabe". I (also) think indie should be spelt with little letters. It's not like a god we worship (Or is it?) Can someone tell me what 'vintage' clothing is? I realised I had no idea the other day and all through the indiekid debate (NO, don't even THINK about starting that again) I read your posts without any idea what you were talking about when you mentioned it. I _need_ this knowledge or I will utterly lose touch with popular culture. I founded a religion the other day. It hasn't got a name yet but I'm presently writing the holy book during Chemistry lessons. The main thing in it is my new hat, it's cordurory and one of those bucket hats. It's the sacred object, I'm the high priest who is given visions and wisdom by the hat and my congregation is presntly one. It will grow, I assure you! I did all this after my attempt to become Pope failed when I realised that I would have to become a priest and more importantly, a Roman Catholic. Maybe I could be the first non-Catholic Pope. Or just decide to be the Pope, irrelevant of all that voting Cardinals rubbish. After all, We have to get the church out of this all-male, all-catholic rut, don't we? Our (my family's) G.P.(s) are a pair of identical twins so you never know which one you're seeing. Just to make it more surreal, they are called Dr. A Meeson and Dr. B Meeson. It's like something from a sitcom. Whadda we want? LONDON PICNIC! Whenda we wannit? SOON!

Sinister: if I was a bird....
by AN 18 Oct '01

18 Oct '01

posting again but I just read our friend caleb ben's (nowadays aka R.A.W.) post about a translation game. What a holy idea much! (umm, did I get that right?) And interesting, and quite a challenge as well. If everyone follows the rules (what rules?) I reckon it could turn out quite hilarious in the end. I assume you're not allowed to use the actual lyrics as help? there's been a few swedish words going round. one of them is the word "tok" (meaning "fool" but in this case better translated as "mad") People have said (and say) it about everything: madfast, madfunny, madgood, madhigh.... I read in a magazine today, 30 things we never want to hear again....and "mad_____" was one of then. So for those of us who try to avoid "mad" we can always use "monkey" instead, monkeygood. one first thing you should all start using (and I'm almost sure the swedish sinisters will agree with me) is the great phrase "Grab a fike" = having a cup of coffee or tea and perhaps something eatable to go with it, like biscuits, buns, cookies, fruit etc. Let's not meet for a cup of coffee in the future, Let's grab a fike instead! one second thing is "shit the same". It has a "never mind" or "forget it, it's not important" kind of meaning. this is turning into a swedish new dictionary hehe. pretto = pretentious that's love = used by my friend mostly for justifying silly things and if everyone UNDER 18 can turn their heads away NOW.... * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * kuka ur ("cock out"? not talking about birds here) = when something has gone wrong or is bad or weird or whatever, it has cocked out. I didn't come up with it! Very useful expression, though not recommended to be used among family and old people. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * you may ALL read again.... That yer and gawn thing sounds like scottish to me. Now that's a dialect I adore. More scottish to the people! Read 'Filth' by Irvine Welsh merely for the fine accent and I even read out loud from it once in a while. I must've sounded so silly, but shit the same heeh. The book was great though, but very filthy, naturally. And I cried at the end, it was so sad I couldn't help it. The main character was a bastard throughout the whole book but still in the end you had to feel sorry for him. I always cry at endings... -AN Monchichi +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: What a night!
by Keith Davis 18 Oct '01
