Sinister: Introducing...
by Ian Rivamonte 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

Hello Sinister. Hope everyone is feeling sinister tonight. I'm out of the nursery finally! I think I have a general idea of what everyone here is like. Basically, all of you write some of the most eloquent and very "indie" e-mails I have ever seen on the list. And I've been on a LOT of lists since 1995. I guess I'm a geezer of sorts... I'm Ian. Pleased to meet you all. Here are some Belle and Sebastian pictures from their 2nd show at the Warfield in San Francisco. And yes, that is me with Stuart after the show. Such a nice guy! Probably the nicest rock/pop star I have ever met since Andy Bell. http://photomail.photoworks.com/sharing/roll.asp?Key=7156903240430508 Enjoy!

Sinister: chicago...again
by toadie291＠home.com 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

hi everyone. miss me? i thought so. :o) i just got back from the cinema and dinner with my gram. she is so amazing. she and my grandpa raised me so she is my mother as far as i am concerned and i love her sooo very much. anyway. enough of that. hope all is toadie with everyone. in regard to the chicago thing. am i correct, it is on saturday the 13 of october? if that's incorrect then lemme know. also, the carpool thing is fine with me. if we take a couple of cars and can fit 4 or 5 people in each...then split $15 parking 4 or 5 ways it saves all of us tons of money instead of each of us going alone and each paying that amount alone. just a thought i had. so are we meeting in grant park? if so we need to be totally explicit about that as grant park is massive. the tiny little section of grant park where i saw radiohead a couple of months ago holds 40,000 people so it's a big ol' park. i actually never knew how neverending it was til that show actually. and if none of us have anything against being outside, navy pier is still a great idea. they have that big ol' ferris wheel and everything. :o) do we have any idea how many people are going to be coming? also, i dont have a problem with giving some people my phone number so we can try to coordinate something in real time as opposed to convoluted emails back and forth. the convoluted emails being from me btw. :o) and if we know how old people are and so on then we can better plan i think. maybe not. sorry, not trying to be pushy but i am typically left to do the planning in my circle of friends so i apologise. :o) well, tuesdays and thursdays are 14 hour days for me so i should prolly head to the land of nod. tomorrow i am taking the girls to the childrens museum. that place is so bloody cool! :o) bonsoir. ~stine +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Recordings?
by Tim Banning 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

Hello to all! I'm here with my harry potter just wondering about things like how much my leg hurts right now for no apparent reason and if anyone has or knows how to gain access to any recordings of any (especially the second San Francisco and L.A.) shows that Belle and Sebastian recently played. It's been almost a month and the smells and sounds are beginning to fade from my sense memory (not many sounds) and I would really, really enjoy hearing those again...and Billie Jean is a thing not to missed. I noticed at the second Warfield show a guy was walking around with a hand held video camera, he was talking to Stevie Dreads at the sound booth and then I saw him in-between the pit and the stage filming the the band...did anyone else see him? or talk to him? curious. I'm taking a print making/silk screening class and I think I would like to make b&s t-shirts and posters, I think it would be fun...well, I hope you all are well. tim _________________________________________________________________ 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: Sooner or later we will melt together
by JAMES GILMER 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

Hullo Sinister Kids, A fresh-baked cookie to the first one who knows what the subject line is from. Anyways, I figured I'd take a brief moment away from doing grad school applications, putting together tracks for my "Love Songs for Heathens" mix tape, and struggling to get used to playing bar cords to drop a wee mail to the list. I really hate bar chords. I won't say too much on the subject, but I really enjoyed seeing staralful's post, dead on that. Elise wrote a post entitled Ultraviolet, Ultra love and I thought she was going to proclaim her love for Ultraviolet, one of the best Brit TV shows I've seen in a dog's age. I wish they had made a second series of that, because it was brilliant. At least now it's availible in the states on DVD and video. You can't imagine my suprise that someone on the Sinister list would reference Ministry, especially "Psalm 69", I may have to include that on my love songs for heathens tape. Jarkko you evil person, you're sending me flying back to my box of tapes from high school and causing me to have that song stuck in my head all day. I'd forgotten how much "Psalm 69" made me laugh, they just don't make music like that anymore :) stine wrote about running into an utterly evil person in the bookstore. I always have to check the calender when I here stories like that, just to make sure we're really in the 21st century. Sometimes peole are just scum, and while i'll make allowences for the beliefs (no matter how ridiculous) of others, being stupid and rude to another person is beyond the pale, especially over something like sexual orientation. I wish Colin could make the picnic... Okay, I wish Colin's booze could make the picnic, but he's welcome as well. Seriously though, Colin's a great guy and is in large part responsible for making the Great Lakes Picnic a success. Obviously, we'll have to start having picnics more often, though I pass the reigns for the next one onto someone else. The weather's finally starting to turn here in Michigan, and the bright days of summer are giving way to the grey and windy days of Autumn. Which, what with the weather getting gloomy and current events, it's no wonder that some peeps are feeling a bit down (a firm pat on the back of Miss Spry for sticking up for the sad people). Saying things like "cheer up, or "look on the bright side" are always hidieously cliche and, to be blunt, don't really do a damn thing if someone's feeling down, but things do get better, and the season always turns and spring comes again. There, that was a metaphor, because I am a smart English major and know about these writing things. So to all those sad people out there, just remember that we all go through it, not a one of us, not matter how much we'd like to pretend otherwise, are free from the blues and feeling down. October's a weird month, and this time of the year even a poor grinning idiot like me can start to feel down, but on the flip side some of my happiest memories are of the autumn and winter, anytime and anyplace can be heaven if you're happy. Here's a happy memory for you all: A few years ago I was out just a few days before Halloween, riding in the backseat of a car with a girl who I quite fancied, and who fancied me. I was utterly in love, and we're riding around and it's chilly, the kind of first autumn, end-of-October chill where it feels far colder than it is because you're not used to it yet. My two best friends, Bryan and Jeff, are driving around aimlessly, just having fun and driving around back roads and laughing. This utterly gorgeous (to me) girl and I are in the back seat passing a gallon of apple cider back and forth, there's a Beatles tape in the player and we're passing the cider back and forth and drinking and singing along to the Beatles and huddling against each other for warmth and laughing our hearts out. It was one of the best moments of my life. I had my two best friends and a girl I was quickly coming to love and her me, and I had the Beatles and cider and I felt completely free. Eventually, things ended badly between me and the girl, and I won't say much about that. We were both at fault, and she had some problems that she couldn't handle and things fell apart and she went away. No hard feelings though,, if we had both met at better times, maybe things would have worked out differently. So, because things ended badly, I should be sad, but I can't forget that night, or others like it. If you're feeling a bit down, just try to remember a night like that you've had, and remind yourself you'll have them again, I know I have. Take care of yourselves; Be Sinister Children...

Sinister: It can't be love, for there is no true love
by Matthew Henderson 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

Hello everyone in sinisterland, Love and emotions abound on the list these days, and congratulations to the recently married! (Please, do not read any further) New relationships are blossoming, some are in troubbble, but that's the cycle of "love" i suppose. Me, I don't think I've ever been in love. I seem to remember thinking it at one point, and I know I said it several times, but I just don't think I was. If I was, it didn't leave a very lasting impression. I suppose hindsight can only be 20/20 if you can still see it. I can't remember much, nor do I really want to. I know I was happy for a time, but I don't remember why or when. I don't think I actually believe in love. Well, that romantic, relationship love. It seems in all (2) the relationships I've had, seems go well, but they go sour after a bit, I grow tired of it all, and move on. Usually it's some damned annoying scene, where I kind of coldly tell them it's best we break up, blah blah blah. The crying begins, and all I can think about is getting home and sleeping, or watching a movie, or perhaps I'm thinking of the song in my head. Whatever is going on, I don't really care. I feel bad about this, but does that mean I do care (see Ben Folds Five "Jane")? I really don't think so. I think I feel bad because I'm selfish, and I'd like to think of myself as emotional or caring or something. I love all you people for being emotional, and I hope you stay that way. Never hide anything. I suppose I live vicariously through your emotions. I get excited when I read about good things happening to a lot of you, and I feel sad when things aren't going so well. I don't feel that way with my friends, or family, or my girlfriends or ex-girlfriends. I don't feel much of anything towards any of them. It's because of this I don't think I've ever really been in love. 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. Hmm...has this turned into rambling? I think it has. So I'll stop. The beautiful and glamorous Kirsten Kenyon mentioned geese, and Dave added to it. I agree with you, they are horrible creatures. I was once attacked by a goose, and it was an awful experience. I was trying to feed the bastard, and it went nuts on me. I was like Pauly Shore and that damn turkey. Or not. So I realized the White Stripes song "Union Forever" comes from citizen Kane last week. Does everybody else know this but me? Does Jack seem like a jerk to anyone else? He seemed to be when I saw him, but Meg was cute. :) I saw Wilco last week. Everyone needs to see them, their new stuff is incredible. And Jeff Tweedy's a much nicer guy than I expected. I saw Beulah Monday night, which was great too. Everyone should see them. Their new album is amazing. It seems such a shame that there were only about 120 people at the show tops, and most didn't stay for the whole thing. I can't believe all the people in Atlanta don't realize what's going on in their own city. They take the fact that they live so close to such great stuff for granted, whilst I have to drive five hours there and five hours back in one night for a three hour concert. Does anyone else think Richard Gillanders is one of the coolest names around? I need to finish reading for history. I don't think this post made much sense, so I'm sorry about that. -Matt P.S. Ken is right, I proved it this weekend. Red Bull and Vodka is fantastic. P.P.S. Happy birthday to all you sinisters who had birthdays in the past week! _________________________________________________________________ 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: homoerotic britney
by Kyla Schuller 04 Oct '01

04 Oct '01

hello sinister-- this is a much belated official report of the SF sinister picnic. due to a set of spectacular directions leading all to a very small spot within a very large park, the sini-picnic was also, for many, a sini-marathon. one participant clocked in at over 3 hours. my apologies, again, to all who had not intended to walk 5 miles that afternoon. the pickle prince even scaled a mountain in his search for picnicness. at least the weather was on our side, and frisbee was played, until a small child was inadvertently harmed, and a photo contest with our london counterparts was undertaken. it seems as though edinburgh has beaten us all however. we may have scandal, but you lot have good design. all those interested in eating well should make sure Mike is invited to your picnic. the only thing we lacked was irn-bru. we ate classy food and listened to music and made friends, many of whom had traveled across many states. so yes, it was a success. on other POP! fronts, i am currently recovering from the news that ms. britney spears has decided to snub all of northern california during her upcoming tour. i was so looking forward to her show. pop princesses seem to be corporate-legitimated homoeroticism for teen girls, and this i certainly support. to be in a stadium full of young girls tramping it up -- for each other! plus, in a brilliant New Economy move, a video collage of print ads that britney has starred in is projected before the show -- so you too can have all britney's accoutrements! cover your body with the same shampoo! fill your body with the same milk! thousands of girls thinking, "i want britney's body," in all it's delicious ambiguity! i suppose i'll have to content myself with memories of sporty spice's show last spring, with the punk rawk dykes who threw her bouquets of roses. yours, kyla __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Randomnessess
by Spike 03 Oct '01

03 Oct '01

In a post the other day: --- Rachel <blind_lisa(a)yahoo.com> > wrote: There are 5 of us now? I think >we have enough Rachels to challenge the list Williams to a "battle of >Wills". What that entails is another matter altogether. Maybe some >other Rachel or William listees have some ideas? Or any non-rachel >or non-william listees, feel free to give us suggestions! I'm up for it. How about a pub quiz or something like the Krypton Factor? A lot has been said over the past few days about how the list is more of a way of life than anything else. The reason, I think anyway, is because it is more than just talking about Bellle & Sebastian. We recomend books, other bands, etc. If it were not for Sinister I would not be interested in The White Stripes for example. Anyway, that's just my opinion. Does anyone know how to get paint off of shoes? I tried turps but it does not seem to work. The reason I'm asking is because I was helping to paint a mural yesterday and my only pair of shoes got covered in paint. Why do people laugh at me when they find out I do cross stitch? I'll stop annoying you now. Will == "It's a big rock. Can't wait to tell my friends. They don't have a rock this big."

Sinister: time for anit-depressants
by Kirstin Schreiber 03 Oct '01

03 Oct '01

Yes, the time has come for pills. Everyone else in my family has been clinically depressed at some point, so i guess i'm just following tradition. I've got to do something befroe all my freinds hate me or vice versa. So ,on "Family Tree", the lyrics say that Isobel says "because i'm not here to fool around", but i swear on the cd she says "becasue i'm not here to fuck around." and that's how i play it. Anyone know? I have a renewed affection for all B&S unrequited love songs. Although, sometimes they can turn insomnia into a tear- drop festival. The peace rally in Washington DC was wonderful despite the shitty and inacurate media covereage it's gotten. I'm quite glad i went. kirstin _________________________________________________________________ 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.

grant park is indeed where the fountain....buckingham fountain is. though grant part is also about 15 miles wide so that is just a small part of it. as soon as we get everything sussed out ill gladly get directions for people if they email and ask me to. also, i dont live too far from the city proper so maybe some of us could meet here even and car pool...parking in the city can be INSANELY costly. just a thought. well im off for now. talk to y'all soon. ~stine +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: a spacechef trailor
by Sam Walton 03 Oct '01

03 Oct '01

Hello. Two posts in a week? My my, what is this list coming to? Kyla Schuller said: >>>thousands of girls thinking, "i want britney's body," And then Joe Vester said: >>>Boys have it hard, you know. And I'll lead all of you to draw your own conclusions. Personally, I'd rather have Katie Holmes' body, or Jarvis Cocker's, depending on which side of the ambiguity you wish to fall. Jamie Oliver has a new show coming soon. This is not of any interest really, but for the fact that Belle & Sebastian feature on the BBC trailor for the show. Well, more accurately, their music features on the trailer for the show. The funky bit at the end of A Spaceboy Dream soundtracks Mr Oliver riding around on his scooter shouting mockneyisms as only he (and Damon Albarn) can. All for about thirty seconds. It really is Terribly Exciting. For those of you who don't know of the talents of Jamie Oliver, here's the top thing that came out of the search engine: http://www.jamieoliver.co.uk I originally put in "Jamie Oliver, Naked Chef, Is A Twat", but just got porn results. Surprisingly. There was a power-cut today which began just as the opening credits to Neighbours (5:35pm showing) began, and so I missed the whole show. Not entirely dissapointing, but I wish somebody had said something, because then I would have got out of bed in time for the lunchtime edition.
