Sinister: belle and sebastian on the te-elly (and important UK plugging)
by Stephen Hewitt 05 Oct '01

05 Oct '01

apols if someone has already mentioned this, but there i was happily drifting off to sleep whilst mrs carsmile watched seinfeld (splingedy bingedy boing). As the programme finished, and the cry of "oh god, a new fat-tongue-boy series" (actually it was a bit ruder than that, but i'm feeling polite today). I thought "this music sounds familiar" in my drowsy state, but it was only as the advert finished and i started singing the beginning of dirty dream #2 to myself that i realised that JAMIE OLIVER HAS B&S ON HIS ADVERT FOR HIS NEW SHOW!!!! the funky bit at the end of a spaceboy dream to be precise (ie possibly one of the least b&s-sounding bits). Still better than arseloader, eh? moving on to my blatent plugging, which i am only doing as it is for CHARIDEE and a GOOD THING IN GENERAL. <plug starts> BENEFIT CLUB NIGHT ANNOUNCED FOR VICTIMS OF TERRORIST ATTACKS ON USA LondonIndieUSA 12th October 2001, 8 PM - 1 AM The Betsey Trotwood, 56 Farringdon Road, London EC1 Nearest Tube: Farringdon Entry £5 Following the horrifying events of the 11th September, London's indie community has come together to organize LondonIndieUSA, a benefit night in aid of the victims of the terrorist attacks on America. All proceeds from this club night will go to the International Red Cross. London's indie scene has enjoyed strong long-term links with America, with bands crossing the Atlantic in both directions, and fans finding common ground online. Every indie fan in London has friends who have been seriously affected by the recent attacks. This benefit is an attempt to reach out and offer support. LondonIndieUSA will take place on the 12th October at the Betsey Trotwood pub over two floors. More than a dozen DJs, representing several of London's regular indie nights, will be taking part. They'll be playing everything from full-on pop to experimental eclectica, with the emphasis on dancing and fun. Records, memorabilia and booze will be raffled for charity during the evening. Oh, and the Betsey Trotwood is fully licensed until 1 AM! This is a unique event, a chance for London's indie scene to show how much the friendship and community Americans have shown us means. The fact that it's going to be the best indie night out this year is, as they say, a bonus. Doors open at 8PM and entry is £5. >From what i can see there are at least 7 listees on the decks (including me ;)), and several more involved in organisation etc. If anyone wants to know anything else (and yes, we know there might be a tube strike next friday) or wants to help out, drop me a line :) hopefully see some (lots?) of you there xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Dude shaved me bare, gave me a lollipop...
by Sam Walton 05 Oct '01

05 Oct '01

...anybody who can give me the next line gets "nuff respeck". Hello once again. This is getting regular. I was due to get my hair cut the other day, and then my hairdresser cancelled on me because he was ill. So I just shaved my head myself. Now I have 12mm long hair all over. Dont worry, itll grow. Hair normally does. The Tom McRae album is a gem. It sounds like Jeff Buckley doing a Nick Drake tribute. Well, it does to me, anyway. James Gilmer said: >>I really hate bar chords And I must concur. All the F# etc rubbish is just showing off, right? Ill play them if pushed, but I find that most songs are playable on open chords if you have a capo in the right place. Some people will say that thats not the spirit, but TLOAMDR can be played entirely with open chords if you put a capo on the fourth fret. Go on, try it. But not now. *****B&S Compilation Challenge***** Heres my choice: The State That I Am In My Wandering Days Are Over If Youre Feeling Sinister Judy & The Dream Of Horses Dog On Wheels Photo Jenny Century Of Fakers Ease Your Feet Off In The Sea The Boy With The Arab Strap Slow Graffiti Legal Man I Fought In A War The Model The Loneliness Of A Middle Distance Runner *****B&S Compilation Challenge***** Continuing the Britney thread (what Britney thread? Shhh): According to Popbitch, her new single will be called Im Not A Girl, But Im Not Yet A Woman. Translated into Chinese, and then back into English literally, you get I Have Bled, Yet Have Not Been Penetrated, which, of course, is true. No, youre right, I didnt have anything to say really.

Re: Sinister: offtopic: alternatives to audiogalaxy?
by Santi Trullenque 05 Oct '01

Dear Kin and Sinisterkids, You should try MORPHEUS, a great download software. Really cool, really selective. Full of great stuff. You can even download other stuff but music. I found there most of the bands I like. You can already find the new songs from Call and Response!! It's great and technically cool! Forget Audiogalaxy which is full of shit. You can get it at:http://www.musiccity.com/ Let us know what you think!

Sinister: these burgers are crazy
by Rachel Playforth 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

i am working at home this week writing letters to 'artistes' and provincial writers groups. my eyes are a bit sore from looking at this screen now. and i don't think my professionalism was enhanced by listening to the moldy peaches all day. but i'm still prepared to risk migraines writing to sinister... confession: on tuesday afternoon i ate a whole bag of nacho chips in front of pretty in pink instead of looking for a proper job. there is NOTHING better than watching john hughes films in the afternoon. apart from perhaps the princess bride on dvd, at any time of day. more diversion tactics: while thinking about what sort of thing to put on a minidisc for our friends in japan, i thought (again) about what would be on a 'best of' b&s compilation. may i burn in hell for starting this, honey, but if you could have just one track from each single/ep and two from each album, what would your final list look like? mine goes: expectations my wandering days are over get me away from here i'm dying mayfly dog on wheels photo jenny le pastie de la bourgoisie dirty dream no 2 the boy with the arab strap slow graffiti legal man the model there's too much love jonathan david that was really hard actually... and i'm sure even harder to justify. leaving out the state i am in and women's realm and the loneliness of the middle distance runner was particularly painful. luckily i don't have to choose in reality :) matt wrote: >I love songs, I love movies, and maybe I've loved the idea of someone, but never that actual person. It all comes up a big disappointment. I just don't see love lasting forever. I don't see how it could possibly happen. I'm sure it can somewhere, but I've never seen it. I'd like to believe in love, but it seems more like an idea than an actual thing. and the pernice brothers wrote: > it fills me with regret. i can't believe in love, and i want to believe. so you're in good company, matt. i reckon once you do love someone it will be completely different from anything up to that point, and you won't even remember that there was ever a distinction between the idea and actual thing... take it from of a reformed cynic. speaking of love, congratulations ailsa and neil. give them both a big kiss from me ally :) got to catch the post, or god only knows what the peacehaven writer's circle will do. 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: let's make a minidisc for our friends
by marc bots 04 Oct '01

brillliant. but extremely hard indeed, especially with a few beers to many (vodka and red bull hasn't really conquered nijmegen yet, though it definately is a sublime combination). so, here it goes: expectations we rule the school get me away from here i'm dying the boy done wrong again dog on wheels photo jenny a century of fakers is it wicked not to care seymour stein this is just a modern rock song legal man waiting for the moon to rise don't leave the light on baby the loneliness of the middle distance runner i'd probably change the order, but not tonight. it's hard to read all your lovely messages, you guys are too far away to invite for an evening of b&s only. it's good to know that you're out there. and holland is not exactly the other side of the world (one-way ticket glasgow or london only 30 euro or so. i could be there tomorrow). sweet dreams, love marc +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Glasgow is where it's at
by toescantalk＠runbox.com 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

Hello, I bring news to the people of Glasgow that can not help but excite you. And no I'm not talking about the new Freeman Hardy Willis shoe megastore on Argyll Street. Though it is very impressive isn't it? It has a overwhelmingly comprehensive collection of plastic slip on shoes with more types of tassle than I'm had hot dinners. And I like my food like my women. On a tray while I'm watching Eastenders with a nice cup of tea. Sorry, I meant HOT. Talking of HOT. There's some gigs on too on this Saturday in the land where beer can be bought remarkably cheap in Wetherspoon's pubs, where the grass is always greener, largely due to the amount of rain.. There's two wonderful Irish bands The Dudley Corporation and Joan of Arse playing not once but TWICE. Wow! Can you imagine your good fortune? Their playing the 13th Note at 3pm in the afternoon and at the happening Glasgow University PostGrad Club in the evening. I'd recommend them highly as I like gigs like my women. Packed and sweaty. Umm... Them simple Irish folk sure can play some lovely and beautiful tunes. See www.thedudleycorporation.com or www.joanofarse.net if you need any coherent info. It really is that simple. So don't fret if you went mad and bought some new shoes from Freeman Hardy Willis, there by a musical force in town to shake your tassles too and make your white socks sweaty. I hope you didn't forget your odour eaters. That's a thing with a bad appetite. Anyone in London alternatively might fance seeing the Lucksmiths and Essex Green playing at the Spitz near Liverpool Street this Saturday evening instead. That might be fun too. Umm... while I'm plugging things I have got a new book out. It's called "The History of Coopery 1445-1956". It really is a barrel of laughs. Largely because I stopped the book before the black days of the novelty furniture.

The new No Compass fanzine has a review of the Belle and Sebastian show in Ipswich 2001 and a lovely drawing of Stuart. Plus interviews with PostaLowa, V/VM and Mum (the band that two twins on the front cover of "fold your hands child..." are in). Write to me off the list for details.

Sinister: idea for chicago
by elise j. spry 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

Hey midwest-kids, Thanks to Toadie for cracking the whip of organization. Since (as she sez) Grant Park is so big, and parking is so expensive, and she is so generous for offering her place as a meet-up point: shall we just plan on that? Jim G is gonna be driving down from WI with me, SweetSean, and maybe Kirsten. And then whoever else is coming can meet there, and can be whisked off for a Saturday of fun and gaiety. (heh, heh I said "gay") Yea? Nay? And what's up with this booze thermos thing? Is it propriatary to Colin or can someone else bring a big Coleman cooler full of booze and share it?

Sinister: SWF wanted
by Apps Ben (Mr B) 04 Oct '01

That's sinister's wonderful females! ;-) Wasn't KirstenKenyon looking for somewhere to live a while back? What I'm on about is that me and my non-sinister, non-b&s loving (please forgive them, for they know not what they do) housemates have been interviewing prospective tennants for two rooms in our house which are becoming available. I was told not to ask if they like Belle & Sebastian in case it put them off :-( *The Strokes v Hefner* I have a (hypothetical) eleven pounds in my pocket. How should it be spent? Answers on postcard messages. I'll buy whatever wins. on a related topic can everyone's favourite virgin (records employee), Brenda, please post with the subject "I had The Strokes at the age of twenty four"? DansonHatcher said: >I'll let you all know all 'bout me plan 'later' like. well? *Happiness* Walking down the road just now on the way to the Laughing Halibut chip shop to get my lunch I was overcome with a wave of spontaneous happiness that I couldn't attribute to any particular event or circumstance in my life and a broad grin spread across my face. It's like when I'm miserable it seems like *everything* is getting me down. Why's there no inbetween? sorry it's all a bit bitty. ben xxx ps - ooh, new single in 39 days and counting, y'all get excited now, y'hear! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
