Sinister: Happiness,Hefner and Gigs (plus interview news)
by Alan Whyte 09 Oct '01

09 Oct '01

I've been saving up my thoughts of the past month for one post (don't worry, it's not that long). Hannah Brown said: >WWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! It's good to feel happy. I want to say it too but i'd be kidding myself. JenOwl said: >I think you should smile if you're reading this, because when people > >smile, even if they're unhappy, just for a second the feeling of >smiling >fools them into being happy. So go on. I did thanks. And it worked!!! Danny Farrell said: >my bestest friend in the whole world is really dejected because he >has >women trouble and i can't help him because i'm really sad too and >have >women trouble so i just hand him my big bottle of vodka and then >put on >Belle and Sebastian or the smiths and that makes it okay for a >little >while. Tis true, for tis me. MY FRIENDS I am having a hard time right now, and although this is only my second post i feel close to you all. I am really lazy and can't be bothered working, so i just go to Danny's (cause he's lazy too) and we drink Kahlua or vodka and red bull (though with ginger beer and lime is also good) and lot's of coffee. I've been on sinister chat a few times, it's grate, and i spoke to my big mate Ken and also the Pickle Prince who informed me that he shares his second name with fellow sinisterite ryan (mckinnon, if u must know), cause we were on chatting together. HEFNER Bought Dead Media, it is very poor (sorry jenowl and people who like it) though i like china crisis and peppermint taste. The rest is very dissapointing synth nonsense to be honest. I still love Hefner though and i'm going to see them at the Cathouse. If anyone else is going, get in touch if u want to go drinking before/after it with me, Danny and Ryan,(We are quite friendly, but a bit shy). ESSENTIAL READING FOR B&S AND HEFNER FANS I am interviewing B&S and Hefner soon, i'll post the interviews up on the web when i've finished them. I'll let you know where and when in my next post so you can look forward to it (i know i am). BALLBOY/JOSEPHINE/BARRICHELLO Went to 13th Note on Sunday (i love that place) with Danny and my bandmate Graham to see the bands above. It was grate, Ballboy are very good,(the new proclaimers, but in a good way) but not up to B&S standards (who is?). I met their keyboard player Katie, she was really sweet and signed my album. Also met the very enthusiastic Josephine singer (he is a loony) who was also grate and talked me and Dan into buying their single. bye,bye kids. Love Alan oxo P.S Thanks to Jules for enlightenment of a Douglas Coupland and twee animals nature, and Will for Sinister news network. Also to Ken, Danny and Ryan for cheering me up. _________________________________________________________________ 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: Strokes Mandeville
by Peter Miller 09 Oct '01

09 Oct '01

My Editor has asked me whether 'Are Friends Electric?' is a song or a record. I'm stumped. I feel like one of those dogs that have been trained to thump their tails on the floor, once for yes and twice for no, and then get asked whether they prefer Pedigree Chum or Bonio. I think I'll tell him it's a song on a record. It may be relatively safe from car bombs and what-not in Scandanavia, but the chances of being grabbed from behind by a big fat bald man wearing only a towel and being bustled into a sauna and locked inside at maximum temperature are much greater than in Northern Ireland. Swings and roundabouts. Besides which, which IRA are we talking about, the Provisional IRA, the Real IRA, the Authentic IRA, IRA The Spaghetti Incident or the IRA Rabbit Redux? I would like Elenita99 to write 'SALUT LES COPAINS!' on her velcro. Or 'GLISSEMENTS PROGRESSIFS DU PLAISIR' which is a terrible film I sat through today. It translates as 'I LIKE CHEESE'. While I'm Reporting Back, some listees might like to know that Lenny Waronker gets a thank you on Bootsy Collins' greatest hits package 'Back in the Day'. Now I'm on the digest I've been thinking, how long does a message have to be to get a digest all to yourself? I think one or two of you have been trying to find this out yourselves. I don't think I'm going to manage it today. The Mike Hurst Orchestra appears on a compilation called 'Pet Sounds' on, I think, RPM records. I've been listening to a bloke called Sandy Denny and an excellent album called 'The Hard Shoulder' by a young lady called Jo Brooker. I read somewhere that it's heavily influenced by Bruce Springsteen, so I was expecting veins sticking out on necks and spine dislodging stomp-a-longs, but it turns out to be a rather lovely gentle acoustic outing. I started out listening to it while I was working, but I ended up stopping work so I could listen to it properly. And there's no greater compliment coming from a confirmed workaholic like myself. It almost made me want to get a sex change myself. I've also been listening to 'Big Pink Music' by The Band. I think it may go on to become an acknowledged classic. Why has the new Spiritualized album been released in a blancmange mould? Is it any good? We only ever seem to talk about Hefner nowadays :-( Thank you to everyone who has been Reporting Back.

Sinister: Some Things.
by Tim Banning 09 Oct '01

09 Oct '01

Some things: So I went to the record store last night with the intention to well....maybe I won't say...okay...well I went to see if they had received the old strokes album yet, because I have yet to hear them other than than the things I tend to miss on Morning Becomes Eclectic. They didn't have it. I did go with the super objective of getting my mom a gift certificate. But. I also bought myself the new Ben Folds record. In my opinion it is absolutely breath taking. There are songs that stop me dead in my tracks as I listen to them, for example the very last song "The Luckiest". My god it is beautiful, if I can even come close to that level of art and beauty in a song in my life time I would be happy. The song captures the feeling of love and sharing yourself with someone like love its self. Does that make sense? So, we are bombing people again. Well, I don't like the taliban and terrorists I think they are horrible enough to be bombed, so I guess that's a good thing. I just really, really hope we are bombing the things that should be bombed and not little babies and innocent people. For some reason I get bitter and skeptic when we bomb something or someone and also drop food and supplies on the people we want to help. I really want to think that we are doing that to help them out, and not for other reasons that I might not know about. I think it's good because in war we need to separate the people we want to hurt and people we want to help. The Afghani people do need help but, we should have helped them a long time ago. I But as history goes, we put up the stop sign after the accident. and I haven't really done anything to help them personally. I think that a really good step in the "fight against terror" or whatever you want to call it would be to educate ourselves. It was only a month or two before the attacks that I knew what the Taliban was. I think it's good to bring awareness of the central asian/middle eastern culture to the forefront. Well, I'm rambling and trying to sound clever, and really achieving the opposite. and i've spelled lots of things wrong so I'll send it through the spell check and It'll look like I spelled things right. But I want you to know that I havn't. all of you take care. Tim ps. again if anyone has a recording of the second S.F. warfield show please let me know, I'd really appreciate it. thanks. _________________________________________________________________ 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: don't leave the light on baby
by Rachel Playforth 09 Oct '01

09 Oct '01

i've just about recovered from being naked now. it was almost back to the good old days of archel smut there, wasn't it? gordon's last post made me think of an old friend who used to send me long stream of consciousness emails from the cavernous computer room at kings college in cambridge. he was hating his course and existing on caffeine, so the emails were random in the extreme. but amazing. desmond was writing about having to turn the lights on at 3pm, but i must say that i get a little thrill from that, at first. today i was on a bus home feeling deliciously sinister (and protected from the rain), and the lights were twinkling on london road and blow me if it didn't feel like christmas already. and i decided that maybe there is still some hope left in the world, although lots of terrible things seem to be happening really quickly and i can't seem to see very far into the future. a few months ago, matt wrote on the page for october 8 in his diary this reminder: 'die horribly'. i know he was only bored or something, but i've still been a bit nervy today and won't be quite relaxed until after midnight. there are such things as self-fulfilling prophecies after all... this all has nothing to do with b&s, but whatever crap is whirling round my head, i still return to them (even though it's against my principles to obsess over one thing, lest you lose it.) i hope you're all warm and safe tonight. luv archel *************************************** 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: soundtrack of our lives
by Ian Rivamonte 09 Oct '01

09 Oct '01

Hi, Someone posted here a few days ago about the new Soundtrack of our Lives album. I heard about them 3 years ago, but never saw a domestic relase by them. I checked on CDNow and they have 3 CDs coming out tomorrow here in the US. Anyways, for the person(s) who mentioned it, can you tell me which album I should start off with? Any help would be great!

Sinister: ramblings and odd stuff from a newbie
by Liz Dawson 09 Oct '01

09 Oct '01

Hi sinister people, I have been a lurker for some time now, and I figured it was time to say hello to all you lovely people, and to introduce myself. I must say that I have enjoyed all of your posts over the last few moths, and they have kept me both entertained, amused and informed, a huge big thank you to you all... My name is Liz and I am currently attending the lovely university in Aberystwyth (some of you may of heard of it, if enough have, and live near or in this wonderful town, maybe we could have a picnic before the weather turns evil), studying geography of all things, and generally making a nuisance of myself in the union as a writer of reviews for the student magazine and a DJ for the student radio station. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the person on this list who introduced me to the wonderful Australian band, Sodastream, of whom I own their LP 'enjoy', and am currently waiting for their current album to become available through Rocketgirl. I must also hasten to add that I fell in love with Belle & Sebastian through a friend of mine, and fellow sinisterine, Jonny Howell (hello!), ever since I was dragged to Scarborough to see them play live, of which I must also give thanks to Big Stu, who provided the transport, and I must admit I have liked them ever since. In reply to the person (sorry can't remember your name) who asked what sinister means, and I can answer that with some confidence. Sinister actually means 'left-handed', which I believe is a bit unfair, as it is also associated with evil,wickedness, dark, foreboding and menacing. Not that I am suggesting for one moment that any of you lovely people are any of the above of course. Also I have had the opportunity to listen to the debut offering from the Strokes, and I must say that I do like it quite a lot, but then I also like Dinosaur Jr, REM and Skunk Anansie, (as well as many others), so you are free to take my opinion with a very large and crusty lump of salt! Well that's enough ramblings from a first timer, I'm sure you'll here from me again, The ever lovely, though somewhat strange, Liz xxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Osama Bin Laden
by Gordon 08 Oct '01

08 Oct '01

He's actually a fairly pretty guy. So's Tony. So's Bush Jr. I don't know who the president of China is, but I suppose he's a man and a reasonably pretty one too. Wouldn't it be oh so pretty if they stopped the rhetoric and tried some 'not bombing' some 'not war' some affront to violence by laying rest awhile? I really hoped I'd never have to speak politics again but, the horror seems to have been compounded by our 'statesmen' and I really have to state, and quite publicly, my utter disgust. I have been incapacitatated and speechless for about 8 hours now... I can't work; I can't think; I'm loosing hope. How can they get away with 'war on terrorism'? What the hell's that? Some rich madman and we're at war? Can someone important calm down for a minute and put that dodgy finger well away from war on us all? There's a proper way to do this. It's called Justice: it's what the whole world works for and it has various forms, of which the summary format allows little opportunity to express the complexities of nations and cultures and does nothing better than to feed imperial predjudice, and it must stop. Like, now. My anger is not one of fear. My anger is not that of a liberal; not yet. My anger is of seeing a misappropriation: seeing our values trashed by power-mongering as so many dogs chasing a rabbit, and it's getting well out of hand. Well out of hand. Swagger is for the bluebeard pirates of this world and not for our leaders! Children! Yik! Gordon Given time, we can ALL become precious to one another: humanity wasn't designed to be split. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: so much on me
by juju cat 08 Oct '01

08 Oct '01

halo i am juju... this is my first post :: i read his words this morning, and the air became heavier. it is thick and suffocating. who would think that air could suffocate you.. just one day, and all our lives were altered. that was when the heaviness really began. and it has lasted this long. a broken heart takes time to heal, but the time that keeps passing me by is fleeting, not healing. it is taking, not giving. it is flirting, but never willing to stick around. i want to embrace it. we saw b&s together one loverly night last month. i took him backstage, and we were too shy to meet the band. i was giddy just to be with him. our mutual heroes seemed to fade in the distance whilst we had each other to gaze upon... he wanted to *talk*.. so we stayed up till 4am. then we found a hotel and slept for a few hours. he clammed up- kept in his shell with his secret-- till morning. then he said he was in love with me.. he said he drove from new york to californ-i-ay listening to one of my songs and realized it.. and you'd think that's when everything would get better... but i only remember crying the rest of the day. because he doesn't want it. he wants to follow his bliss and fly and sail and run run run, 'anywhere but here' he says.. anwhere.. and i can't get it out of my mind that it would be nicest to have somebody to come home to and share that bliss with-- you know, at the end of the day, once you've had enough of the dream chasing.. but this one, he is strange. so we laid on the grass by the exploratorium, took pictures of swans, watched the sun set, caught another b&s show.. i cried and kissed his cheek good-bye.. all the time, i wasn't understanding how or why.. or what came next.. what do i do now? we've come so close, and yet he is still turning away. ? ....he calls me an angel. he swoons to music i write (he is my muse..). he takes my breath away whenever i see him.. which is not often, for he lives a few hours away.. we meet at shows in the city. we dance like geeks in the crowd together. then we part, only to rejoin later in cyberspace (he's here now)... he is everything to me. it looks like the perfect situation, but it is so far out of reach... and this week he may lose his job, and i may never see him again, for he will do drastic things like sell his scooters and fly away-- and i will be left here :: just juju. at sigur ros, my little friend fainted. he carried her. got her food and water, and she kept warm in his coat. i felt his gaze on me the entire show. he told me later that i was glowing. are these not things that would make us closer? but we are still as far apart as ever.. i wonder why we met then? i wonder why one day i rode behind him on his scooter, while the sunlight washed over my smiling countenance and i felt happiness for the first time in ages.. i saw things clearly.. my life changed... i wonder why it had to be him that made that happen.. i wonder why he would come into me like a bolt, and then just disapear without a sound. i wonder why music is as powerful as it is. that we both sat as silent as statues when stuart sang /you made me forget my dreams/.. i wonder what will happen to my life once he has gone.. i wonder if i can ever hear /we rule the school/ again without sobbing. i wonder if we're all just foxes in the snow, and we're about to disappear... ? juju and her dream of rockets ps no matter what happens, i cna never hear the b&s cds the same way again.. it was so overwhelmingly gorgeous live, that it is a dull comparison now.. stu's voice was golden. stevie was a doll. and i will never forget... _________________________________________________________________ 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: I'll be known as the girl who's always working
by Madeleine McNeil 08 Oct '01

08 Oct '01

Work is treating me well. After so many years of unemployment, I find myself leaving the house at 9 in the morning, flapping around all day, pausing only for a diet coke/fag/email/chip cob break, then arriving back home at 9 pm, knowing that I have to do it all the next day. In the time that I was not working, when I was sitting on the sofa watching daytime TV, while the mad (now ex) boyfriend sat smoking spliffs and pontificating about the sins of the middle classes, I found that I was prone to procrastination and over-analysis to the point of self indulgence. I found that, without outside stimulation, my brain starting stimulating itself, without anything else to chew on, it began eating itself, chasing its own tail. I saw problems where they didn't exist, or maybe they did exist but they weren't *really* important, were they? My brain needed something outside myself and outside the smoke filled council flat to get its teeth into. Otherwise I'd be left feeling so confused and crackers that I'd feel like I needed to take my brain out and rinse it under the tap. And now I have it. And it's grand. I think. Well, it's tiring and dull and irritating because I'd rather be at home smoking fags and trying out new hair-dos, but at least it's not self-indulgent wallowing. My job is note taking for disabled students at my university, but the loved one says I'm a "learning facilitator". You can see why the loved one is so loved, can't you, saying things like that? This talk of love recently has been interesting. I used to think that love was something that hit you like a flash of lightning, changed your life forever, made you, somehow, something that you weren't. You'd meld with someone and become so much like them that you couldn't breathe unless they were sitting next to you. That no one in the world had ever felt a love like this. Then I threw up on his feet at a Suede gig and he dumped me. Now I think that love is something that creeps up, silently, when you're not looking. When you're walking down the street, debating this pub or that cinema and you look at them and a huge tenderness falls over you and you think "I might be in love with you". And then you kick around together a while longer and it seems silly not to say it, so you do, and then you carry on saying it and saying it makes you as happy as hearing it. And sometimes you finish each others' sentences, but sometimes you don't understand what the hell the other one is on about. And it just feels like the pieces of the jigsaw have finally fit, or not even that, but that you've managed to do the sky and the edges of the jigsaw, and now you can finish the middle bit yourself. Actually, here's the thing that I meant to post about. I was in uni today talking to a girl I had just met and she said "So, what music are you into?" Me: Well, I really like Belle and Sebastian. I went to see them this summer. Her (hysterical laughter): Really? That must have been brilliant! Me: Yes, errrr, it was good. Her: U G L Y, you aint got no alibi! You ugly! Me (baffled): What? Her: Belle and Sebastian? They did that, right? Me: Um, I think that was Daphne and Celeste. Her: Oh yeah..... I don't think I know much about music..... Well, I thought it was funny. Air strikes. Want to say something, but I can't, really. All I know is that the first time I hear someone mention "collateral damage" (they may have done already, I haven't had much chance to watch the news) I will scream and vomit with rage and disbelief. Sorry I've gone on a bit. Love Madeleine xxx PS Shouts out to Sir David Stankin.
