Sinister: It was the best day that she ever had
by Daniela Varanda 28 Oct '01

28 Oct '01

Hello Dear Sinisters! I had one of the best days of my life yesterday. I saw B and S playing live, and I have to tell you all what happened to me. The gig was going to start at 10 PM (B and S would play after other 2 bands) and I arrived at the place (the Jockey Club) at 2 PM. Me and my friend started searching for the band and we heard Dirty Dream #2 being played somewhere. And we found it. It was the band doing the rehersal befor the concert. We were watching it through a curtain, far from the stage, when a guy (A Heaven sent) showed up. He said we had to leave that place cause the security guard could find us. But he asked us to follow him. We followed the guy, followed him a little bit more, and when we realized...WE WERE ON THE STAGE. WE WERE ON THE STAGE WITH B AND S WATCHING THEM PLAYING. I couldn't say a word. I simply couldn't. I just looked at my friend and said "God this is not happening". With my hands on my head I tried to say "Sarah, please come here". But I couldn't. Only Stevie wasn't there. But after five minutes, the security guard found us. And asked us to leave. It was sad, but those minutes were so magical. You probably know how I felt. You can imagine. As I was the first one in the line, I saw the concert perfectly, from the first line right in the middle. It was awesome. Sarah waved for me and Bobby smiled after I waved. They couldn't be better. Grandaddy and Sigur Rós (the other 2 bands) were also great. Sigur Rós impressed me a lot, I bought their album today, cause the concert was fantastic. They made me cry, as well as B and S. I am sending kisses to all the brazilians who were there. I didn't meet any of you, but you must be lovely. Juliano, I didn't read your last email before the concert, sorry. Mike, where were you? I was wearing a light blue B and S T-shirt and was there with two friends, did you see me? I hope you all feel so happy like I do now. Have a great weekend! Love, Daniela The Setlist: (not exactly in this order) - Sleep the clock around - Dirty dream number two - Simple things - The boy with the arab strap - Me and the major - Judy and the dream of horses (God, it was fantastic) - I know where the summer goes - Jonathan David - The Model (perfect!- I love this song) - I fought in a war - The wrong girl - We rule the school - instrumental (the first one) - a new one, I can't remember the name now - The state I am in - Baby (brazilian Mutantes song) - A minha menina (Brazilian Mutantes song) - Legal Man _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sinister: swedish, nick valensi and hiphop.
by Astrid Wiezell 28 Oct '01

28 Oct '01

Yes, variety in the subject line? The lovely Rachel Fruitloop wrote: Poor ill Astrid wrote: "i always watched macgyver when i was a kid, but my mum had to read the sublines for me, i hadn´t learnt to read by then." The thought of MacGyver with subtitles to me is hilarious! I used to watch the show, too. That's how I learned to make a bomb out of a stick of chewing gum, the wrapper and some coca-cola. I hope that info wasn't lost in the translation. And, I guess it looks quite silly with those little lines in swedish. But I mean, my friend Marika was in Spain, and she´s obsessed with "Friends", and during her holiday, she got ill, and one day she saw: Friends in spanish! How weird isn´t THAT? I mean, subtitles are so much better, than when films and stuff are translated into swedish. But the gratest was my sweet friend Carl Henrik, who with horror told me how his life actually changed when he heard "Bond... je m´appelle James Bond", and how he suddenly got aware that it is so much in life that he should be thankful for, like not having to suffer from bad translations into your own language. I like being swedish though, because I get an extra language, and there´s loads of fabolous swedish music. Actually, that is what my mixtape that I´m sending Tom will have. Only swedish music. Whilst making the a-side this night, I realised hwo much good music there really is. I went to a demonstration today, against USA bombing Afghanistan and letting the innocent people of Afghanistan suffer for it. The only one´s that could make it was my friend Emma, whom I actually believe is CUTENESS in person, she´s so cute you just want to eat her, and another friend of mine, Indra, who was ill as well. I´ve been home since wednesday, so I thought it would be grate to get out a bit. But it rained, and the speaches were held at a big open place in Stockholm, and after a while, I was feeling so bad that I couldn´t stand up, I had to sit and hold onto my friends cords, so that I wouldn´t lose my already poor balance. It was horrible, just walking those maybe 100 metres to the subway felt horrible, as if I would die or something, I don´t know why but I was feeling so bad, my legs were shaking, I had gone all pale and I was very dizzy. So on the bus home, I´d lay with my head in Indra´s lap and she´d just look at me and say "Oh sweetie!". But when I got home and took a painkiller, and after like an hour, I was cured, fully! I was (almost) dancing, or at least nodding along to the music with my head. I´ve fallen in love with Nick Valensi (the strokes) which is VERY bad due to a couple of reasons: 1. I´ve been having the "Uh, the strokes, such, they´re just so ordinary and overrated, uh" and now I want the album.I´ve heard it and all of the sudde it got really good. 2. My friends will harass me til the day I die because I´ve been getting known as the one who is AGAINST the strokes. 3. It´s always sad to be obsessed with celebreties. But it is my sad story. Sad, huh? Well, I am mostly in love with Stuart Murdoch. No, there is another boy who... oh nevermind, hee hee. No, I won´t say anything more. I saw a really good but quite strange program, it was made by BBC, and it was about the human face, and John Cleese was the "host", and his assistant was Liz Hurley (!) ... WHAT THE HELL?! According to me, that was one of the least likely things to happen. Dead strange... MTV is only playing hiphop at this time. Yes, I know that MTV sucks and that MTV2 which I luckliy got, rawks, but I can´t use the one wiht MTV" in this room, so at the moment I have to listen to Ja Rule. Ok, I COULD turn the tv off, but I hate silence. Most of the time, that is. Mixtapebattle: Sorry Will´s, but I´m cheering for the Rachel´s! R is for Rawks A is for.. er.. Adorable C is for Cool H is for H.. H.. moving on! E is for E.. E.. my imagination has run dry.. L is for L.. LOVELY! Rachel o.j: I am SO looking forward to you moving to Stockholm, we have to meet up then! And judging by what you said about your friends, they´re not much to be sad about moving from. Amd Stockholm is a lovely city. Rachel fruitloop: You are so sweet! Archel: Thanks for your story to my site, but due to being pathetically lazy, I haven´t put it up yet, but tomorrow I´ll do it! I promise! More of that people, thank you! (http://www.angelfire.com/poetry/darling) Contributions have already been made by the ever so luverrrrly Corduroy Boy Tom (*purr*), Dirty Vicar (Still looking for the soundtrack! I am CONVINCED there is one!), the charming Kate and our own francois Fred! Laughing is very good for the body, and soul, and your life, and, ah, all that. Yet another exciting thing I learnt from the BBC-thing led by John Cleese tonight, and because I care about you all so much: Let´s all have a grate big LAUGH together: [HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!] Well, I´ve rambled on for far too long now. Sleep tight sweeties, and may.. and may.. and may you all have a good day tomorrow! (ER?) Chocolate, pillowfights and mixtapes, Astrid xxx P.S Small kids talking english with an accent is the freakiest thing I know. I dot know why really, but it scares the HELL out of me. Maybe because I´m swedish. P.P.S My mum told me that I sang for the first time when I was 2 years old, in the car. We had listened to a swedish artist, and when they put the tape off, I was sitting there, mumbling the melody and the sounds. Weird. But not as weird as kids speaking english with accent.

Sinister: I'm waking up to cornflakes
by CrnflkgrlO＠aol.com 28 Oct '01

28 Oct '01

Dear Sinister, I suppose posting a few times then going back to hiding is not a proper way to join the club and make friends, now is it? So this is my comeback attempt. I will try and make it on the level of John Tavolta in Pulp Fiction, instead of John Travolta in Battlefield Earth. Or perhaps David Cassidy, if I could achieve his fame, imagine all the sweet lovin' I'd get! Ok....enough about teen idols because I could go on forever about the tight white pants of Leif Garret...... I actually have Belle and Sebastian related things to say! So, I was delighted to get my Nintendo (original gangsta' style of 1988 Hannukah) and played mario three all afternoon! How I adore Mario and the gang! I couldnt wait to get to level six because mario was in his racoon costume and it is the snow level! Well, I was excited because I really thought it was a fox costume and I could play "fox in the snow" along to it, but then my brother burst my bubble and told me it was a racoon. But I sacrificed accuracy for a Belle and Sebastian experience. Wonder if Stu ever played Mario, Stevie would certainly be Luigi! I'm always rooting for the underdog, and Luigi was more the tall, dark and handsome type..... The other day, at school, this boy was telling me I reminded him of someone familiar. I was waiting for the inevitable comparison of my long blond hair and tan bod to britner spears, but alas he told me I resembled Gargamel, the bad guy who was always trying to catch the Smurfs. OK, first I was a little frightened. But then he explained why: because when I'm not smiling, I look like I'm plotting something "sinister"!! He actually called me Sinister. Little does he know.... I'm listening the new single now (shhhh!) and I wanted to comment on Stuart's voice on "im waking up to us". Is that Stuart!? Or does it sound much deeper than anything you could imagine coming from Stu's mouth? For some reason, I imagine him singing with facial hair sprouting up. But seriously, he's soulfull. And if it isnt stuart singing, I have no idea who it could be. Bobby? Its really a wonderful EP!! Though I burned all my EPs onto two discs so I felt like i had two new Belle and Sebastian albums. And now disc two is out of date already!! I'm starting an imaginary club for Sinister kids. Those of us 20 and under. We'll embrace each other in our underage bliss. I just like to imagine frollicing with Astrid and Jenowl. Oh, and a Sinister love connection club! Because, is it just my imagine or do Belle and Sebastian fans seek out mates who are belle and sebastian fans more than any other band? I mean, Radiohead fans dont necessarily look for booty shakin' with other Radiohead fans. Or do they? Maybe its just me. So, speaking of love, why do I have to? But I'm putting a question out there and I appreciate any advice I get! Me and the Boy have broken up, seems permanently this time. I've spent the last month trying to move on, and he already has. A Pennsylvania boy has gotten my attention. But I dont know if I'm over the Boy, but Penn. boy could certainly help with that. Bad part: I'm in california, and I could visit him over winter break. I'm horribly nervous, do I go? We email every day and talk on the phone quite a bit. Oh, love is strange! Sincerely yours, the Notorious R.C. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: curse you, fruitloop!

ok, ok, i'm in. call me amy apple jacks, please. that, i like. i suppose it wouldn't be *right* if i didn't join this circle, being a mix tape queen and all... ...speaking of which....i made this brilliant one for an internet friend about a month ago. i haven't sent it yet, because i wanted to make myself a copy of it, and have been dead lazy about getting that done. played it in my car today...on my way back from the grocery, it was eaten! the tape dissappeared way up inside of itself. so, i promise, not to play the precious rachels tape in my vehicle. the super tempo must die! so, i've been invited to 3 different halloween parties for tonight. the one i really wanted to go to will be bad now because of the weather, there were to be hay rides and outside fun. i think not. the one most of my girlfriends are going to, i didn't really want to go to. but they are all calling me now to change my mind. i've been planning on staying in and taking care of things around the house, but i suppose i have all day sunday for that as well. and, considering i've already started drinking some wine... heck. may as well. there goes the phone again... ok. now i have about one hour to shower and put some kind of costume together. yeesh! guess i'll be strawberry shortcake, or a campbells soup kid ... again. too easy to pull off, but it works. i make a pretty good strawberry, if i do say so myself. anyhoo, guess i'll go get ready. thanks for being keen, amy apple jacks ===== "deeds cannot dream what dreams can do" - e.e. cummings __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: I'm one boy in my corduroy's
by Tim Banning 27 Oct '01

27 Oct '01

hey, The girl is being dumb today. Maybe it's me. But I refuse to think that it's me all the time. You see here's the deal. She's an hour and a half away, I have a shitty car that MIGHT break down. If it breaks down, No car=no work=no money=no leaving=depression. She has a broken foot and it's hard to drive. so...the situation is kind o' shitty. I've taken a liking to red bull. I can drink them free at my work, but I refuse to drink more than one at a time...for fear that I might rob a store. I'm doing a really bad play. I'm playing a learning disabled little brother of a Racist. It's horrible sometimes and good at others, its the kind of thing that you feel ashamed of watching sometimes. I hope that it gets better and I regret writting these things. I've just realized that its only been two very long months since i've moved back home...how the hell am I going to survive the next year or so? okay...today sucks. thanks for your time 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: the magic of a kind word
by Rachel . 27 Oct '01

27 Oct '01

lovely sinisterees, it feels like iäm harrassing you with all my writing, but i don't have anything else to do right now. sorry! so, exactly two days has passed by since i caught my boyfriend with another girl. i think that i'm starting to accept it now. i'm not mad at him anymore (as i was before), i guess i'm more disappointed than angry. of course, i get mad when i think of him as the asshole he really is, but in the maintime i see him as that lovely, caring and sweet person that he, well, used to be. i loved him... oh. ok, i shouldn't lie. i still love him very much, and i do hate (it's a strong word, i know, but i really do!!) that bitch monica. she doesn't even look very good. and she's not his kind. not at all! i guess he'll realise that in a while and come crawling back to me. and at that time (i hope) that i've got strong enough to say no to him. and tell him how unbelievable much he hurt me, and so on. that's the right kind of girlpower. oh, but the word girlpower just makes me think of the spice girls, and that's really nothing i want to do! i saw a bad chash quartet (a very good band for you who doesn't know) video at MTV today. ooh. they're just so grate! from sweden, i think. just like eskobar. they're lovely too! and that gorgeous singer! daniel. ooh. lovely, lovely! they were in norway like... a week ago, maybe more. a promotion-tour. and yes, i did have the luck to watch them, live, doing a promo-gig at this tv-show. daniel's the gratest! and as i speak of sweden... i'll probably be moving quite soon now. it's just "small details" that have to be fixed. like, where we're going to live. oh, sometimes they're so stupid, my adoptive parents! to get away from everything at home, i'll be going to england for a couple of days to visit my mother. i got the tickets today. wee! there's nothing better than her flat in london! i'll be going on my own this time. the very first time actually. ooh. nice, i guess. but i admit that i'm quite nervous about it. she told me on the phone that she's met a guy. i wonder what he's like. let's hope that he listens to good music, or else i won't like him. well, last, but definitely not least, i've got to thank you all for your support (oh, now i sound like i've won an oscar! hee hee). no, but rally, you're so sweet! all the kind things that you've written to me, it has made me feel a bit better. so lots of hugs and kisses to you! love, rachel o.j _________________________________________________________________ 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: dancing through the frustration
by s.arnot＠talk21.com 27 Oct '01

27 Oct '01

hi there. in huddersfield there is a quite cool indie night on a thursday in a club called 'the camel club'. i have become more and more impressed by this club in recent weeks, as, in addition to playing 'she's losing it', ther overall quality of the music is improving. for instance, last week they played pavement and kenickie. this week they played sleater-kinney and 'u-mass' by pixies. i danced. i didn't get drunk though, because i had just had a rather nasty phonecall from my mum telling me to stop spending so much money. they had just got my bank statement through, you see, and apparently i managed to spend £960 in my first four weeks at uni. whoops. since then i have also purchased my mogwai and white stripes tickets. oh well. i'll have to get a job i suppose. the last couple of weeks at said club have also been improved by the appearance of a pair of (sisters/friends?), this week in his and hers hefner t-shirts. impressive, seeing as the indie child population of huddersfield seems to be practically zero. despite wearing a belle and sebastian badge almost every day since i arrived i can count the number of comments about that on the useful fingers of one of eminem's hands. last night i saw a vey happy band, called the unfinished sympathy. despite the fact that they were peddling only slightly above average sub-jawbox emo, this was made up for by their sheer happiness. they are spanish, and were so happy to be touring in the uk that almost the entire band went through the set with huge grins on their faces, and kept thanking everyone and telling them how happy they were. made my evening. i'm going to see more bands tonight. i will then stop spending money until next thursday. i need a (free) housebound mission to fill my waking hours. a letter-writing spree probably. my last post returned exactly no posts from any listees in huddersfield, so i am extending the bounaries to leeds. please contact me! please! pretty please! i will reveal to you my new discovery of the greatest food know to humankind! and it will bring you grate happiness! :) how can i get involved in a tape-making competition, as i am fairly proud of my mad skillz? i am not sure if that last question required a question mark. oh well. thanks a lot piddlemonkey -------------------- talk21 your FREE portable and private address on the net at http://www.talk21.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: an old photograph
by Youn J. Noh 27 Oct '01

27 Oct '01

6:59 on a Friday morning. Any second the alarm clock will go off. The sunlight's pouring in but I can barely make out the photo on the dresser without my glasses. Just patches of blue and green in an old gold frame. It's you standing in front of a cafe - there! shelter from the rain. I took off my jacket for you, but there your arm is raised to reveal skin fine and white. Oh, take care! Skipping across the gravel in your impossible shoes - those thin ankles! - you never tottered once. Peacocks stepped aside for you. I walked two steps behind, thinking of your dress that night out on the dance floor. I wasn't 'a pathetic teenage wreck'. I wasn't 'the iconco destruction pass man'. But you led me through a maze - right, left, no your other left, back to front - lost again! So I fell in upon myself and stared at my reflection in a pool. Til the alarm called me back. Thank goodness for that! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: RE: people at my work actually say 'RE' in conversation
by Geoff 27 Oct '01

27 Oct '01

Its been a year now since I stopped reading every Sinister post so I'm a bit behind on what's going on. It's also a year since I got a job-the two events may be connected. If anything major's gone down in the last few months, can someone let me know. If anything big has happened regarding Belle and Sebastian or Sinister too, can you also let me know please. And before you say I'm lazy, may I remind you that I have hoovered my room today. I'm a bit disappointed that no one has been properly celebrating the demise of The Divine Comedy to the full. I had my own little partA, the climax of which was the ritual burring of an effigy of Neil Hannon. My hatred of The DC comes from their release of 'Something for the weekend' at the same time as SFA anthem 'Something 4 the weekend'. These records were distinguishable by far more than a numerical word... The SFA tune was destined to become THE song of the mid nineties, all set to steal Sleeper's Vegas crown like a thief in the night. It was only a matter of time before it got to no.1 in the hitparade and turned the masses into a covert unit that would bring down the government, end slavery in Luxembourg, and possibly stop buying manufactured pop records. Antichrist Minor-star Hannon had other ideas though. This new world order was'nt for him and his cigar puffing cronies, and he deliberately set out to confuse the record buying public by releasing said tune. His evil plan worked: the people stalled, SFA's song bombed, and the world remained the hell on earth place it is today. I went to see the still-together SFA at Brixton the other week, and I'm pretty sure that inbetween each rippin tune, Gruff made an anti-DC comment. He didn't actually say anything, but you could tell in his eyes what he was thinking. And if you think all this is hear'say, notice that last week, National Express Coaches announced major drops in profit. On a lighter note, I saw 'Her Boychart' legend Harvey Williams at the SFA gigster. He seemed slightly surprised the some half pisst kids who should know better recognised him. Me and my mate were more surprised though when he knocked around with us for the half an hour before the show. I was unhappy that I couldn't get him to re-release Her Boychart so it could get the credit it deserved. Maybe he'll save it for his 2018 comeback tour when the Trembling Blue Stars become his backing band. Whatever people say about Harv, Gruff or Hannon, at least they don't wear Slipknot style masks. I really struggle to understand how anyone could think that whole Slipknot thang is anything but utter tripe. Stop me if you've heard this one before but, the 'Knot once played a gig near my house and during the 'performance', one of the crazy chaps jumped from the balcony into the mosh and broke a fans back/collar bone/finger. Rather unfairly though, the Slipknot daredevil was wearing lots of protective clothing. I'm not sure if this story made the NME. I imagine it did not as the popular music paper (or should that be 'popular music' paper) could not possibly diss it's bestist band. Did any of you bigwigs used to be in awe of the NME. I know I did: all those clever journos bigging up new bands from Mansfield that within weeks were everywhere. I used to feel naive reading it, and I imagined everyone laughing about how much I didn't know. But whenever I read it now, I get embarrassed for the NME itself. I still don't know much about music, for example I just found out that The Almighty Clash didn't write 'I Fought the Law', but even I can see what's going on with bands like Korn, Roach, Cradle of Filth, Bizkit and Shitknot (what happened to Spinal Tap?). These sort of bands would have been laughed off a few years ago as non-4real, money making bullslip, whereas now their sold to us as the future. The NME ended when Marylyn Manson first appeared on the front, but I guess if they feel its more important to shift units and please the advertisers than to be any good, then so be it. I think I can hear Melody Maker spinning in it's watery grave. Summing up: I saw the Quantum Leap the other day where Sam is an old timer who plays Hendrix on his grandsons electic gutair. Does anyone think that the last ever episode of QL has the same feelings as Dylan's Desolation Row. I've never spoke to anyone who is aware of (and preferably in love with) both of these of these works, so if you fall into this category, please, please offer me an opinion, even if you're wrong. Time for bed I think. Me, not you. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I like me, I know you like me and I'm going to help you like you

Yup, time for me to comment on things people siad again. But first, How did the Dundee picnic go? Right, on with the randomness. PeetSketchSteve said: I HATE Hotmail. I think it's about time I sorted some proper email out. I don't use Hotmail. I don't trust Microsoft. Plus, I read somewhere that part of the deal with using Hotmail is that Microsoft can use any ideas sent using a Hotmail account. johnjohn said: since im only sixteen, i havent really discovered true love. Rare to hear a 16 year old admit they have not discovered true love. Usually, every 16 year old in a relationship has met their one true love. lindsey commented: i have come to think love is. overrated. I'll have to agree with you there. Will Salt asked: Have you head of a man called William McGonagall? I have. Apparently, Glasgow Uni has a William McGonagall appreciation society. In addition to being a bad poet (sample from one of his poems: Tay, Tay, the beautifull Tay/Flows from Perth to Dundee everyday) he was also supposed to be a bad actor. Ulla said: will you have me wills? as a new member in your team? a member who is almost always late and most sleepy in the mornings. But that's my position in the team :¬P Ah well, I suppose I can share. Paul said: I just used my WAP phone to look at the last 5 lovely posts on my phone. Show off. Ken Chu observed: I watched Atomic Kittens on CD:UK last weekend, I couldn't help but noticed that in one of their songs (the name escapes me), they managed to use over 30 consecutive single syllable words during a chorus. Isn't that every one of their songs? Big Stu informed me: So, it's official. The Divine Comedy are no more. Blub. I liked them. Mainly for getting the word 'arse' on Christmas TOTP. Astrid said: macgyver was a family thing, the whole family would sit down and watch it. I used to watch that as well. rach oj said: i got dumped today... in a horrible way, i must say... He should be forced to listen to Daphnie and Celeste for what he did. Seriously. Jim commented: Besides, I've seen an example of Rachel Fruitloop's mix CD-fu and I fear her tape mixing prowlness. I'm still not scared. archel suggested: so, the mix tape battle commences! the rachels have far too much style and charm not to win But we have better puns with our name. Through sheer Will power, we will prevail and prove once and for all where there is a Will, there is a way. Andre opined: Have you noticed that I'm participating in the recent resurgence of semicolon use? I have been reliably informed that proper use of a semicolon will get you good mark on essays. I firmly believe in the waffle method. Will Spike == "There's no demon in there. It's just a family legend, am I right? Just a bit of spin to keep the ladies in line? You're a piece of work. I like you."
