After listening to The Model this morning before school, I picked up on the lyric " the bowlie kids " can anyone explain this term to me? As there is a road beside my houswe called the bowlie, I guess I alwys just assumed that the band were singing about me and my neighbours! Anyway, who;s all going to the gig on the 20th in Glasgow? and more to the point can anyone tell me where the QMU actually is as I have my ticket but don't actually know where the gig is!!

Sinister: funding for Scottish music; records; B+S gossip; why can't I find a magazine about decent music?
by idleberry 26 Nov '01

26 Nov '01

Hi you lot, So the gig has gone and sold out. Oh well. I guess I can�t be too bugged out, I have seen them play this year, and that was cool enough. Anyway, for all you, like me, too slow or in many cases, too far away to get to go and see the hallowed B+S play (seriously, I�m thinking about setting up my own CCTV around the various universities of Glasgow, seeing as B+S probably seem to hang around there more than the students.. why do they always play secret gigs there?) I have something else for you. Just for you. Nobody else but you. So all you smug smugs can go away. No peeking. ***Oh, there�s a titbit of B+S gossip rattling through the Corduroy Smoke message board right now. You might already have heard it, but then again, you might not. The link, as always, is littering the bottom of this e mail.*** Recommendation of the week (if you�re not out buying B+S records, that is): James Orr Complex. I picked up this dazzling EP for two quid in Avalanche on Saturday, and can safely recommend it to all of you on the basis that it is fantastic. I bought some other stuff too, but this was a favourite. Saturday, I spent the evening in Glasgow getting drunk with a friend and chatting and listening to music. I stayed over at her house, and met her new gerbil, Laurence, whose a gothic interior designer of a gerbil. And so lovely as well. Not as radical as her previous gerbil, the Che Guvara reincarnation socialist- Zorro. It made me want to get a gerbil myself. We also chatted with her husband yesterday morning about music and things. I don�t know if you know, but this might be of interest for any of you in bands in Scotland needing funding for projects. Check out the Scottish Arts Council site to find out about grants given to musical, artistic and writing areas and all sorts of other things. As far as music is concerned, they seem to be very keen on the idea of supporting contempary musicians. Some of the pieces of interest were these: Music Promotions and Events Funds to assist music festivals and concert promoters working in all styles of music. Priority areas are traditional music and contemporary music. Closing dates: 18 Feb 2002 - latest guidelines and application form will be posted here soon (projects in 2002/2003 Recording Grants for special recording projects (not demos) involving Scottish based artists working in all styles of music. Priority areas are traditional music and contemporary music. Closing dates: 21 Jan 2002 http://www.sac.org.uk There were plenty more options available, but check out the website if this has whetted your appetite. Half the office looks as if it is taking time off this week. Except me. I got my mobile phone bill through, and on top of that, my stereo is being repaired and will take up a chunk of this weeks pay cheque. But this is not a career. I spent a small fortune in Borders yesterday. I gazed across the stationery, and ended up buying a couple of fountain pens to write in my little notebook with. I looked over the magazine racks. Why are there no decent indie music magazine left anymore? Has my taste moved so far underground that the publications can�t find me anymore? Or is it just that the things I�m into doesn�t appeal to them? Viva fanzines, viva! I also bought a big book about music, just to help me get my references right. Of course, I�m sure I could find them on the internet, but this is more handy. Anyway, enough of my ramblings, go on, go out and smile. Love, Idles ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke and the world did get covered in a thick haze of corduroy smoke.

Sinister: 'omnia mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis'
by Kirsten Kenyon 26 Nov '01

26 Nov '01

i sat on my parents' bed, admiring my new shoes and waiting for the phone to ring. it didn't for awhile. but then it did, and my shoes are blue suede but the boy on the phone looks nothing like elvis. to me. and that's good. i wish i were good at thinking of interesting things to say on the telephone, but i also sometimes wish that i had a pet monkey and a pearl-pink vespa, and that's not going to happen either. my mom kept saying she was going off to bed, but then she'd just turn the page of the newspaper. finally i drove her off by turning on some strange silent film marathon and making it into something quite loud. it is still on right now....it was snow white for awhile. then it was sepia-toned children in a dungeon. with pretty piano music. i came back later to find geisha girls giggling and bearded men strangling a bear. with different music. old people playing drums around a fire. to beethoven's sonate pathétique. and then it was boys working in a garden. a very old woman blowing out the candles on a birthday cake. a man playing a sad song on a fiddle. lumberjacks. bathing beauties. now it's ripples on a pond and a bare-shouldered girl and swaying palm trees and some sassy latin-sounding music with a piano and flute and drums. and there's a volcano. this is just fascinating. really. oooh a monkey! who needs words when you have tambourines and monkeys.... upon my arrival at the diner this evening, i was happy to find some of my very favorite strangers scattered about. one of them is a man with the most fantastic voice i have ever heard. he sounds like barry white after a carton of cigarettes and two minutes spent gargling with whiskey. listening to that man order a hamburger feels almost holy. my other favorites are a young couple who sit and smoke newport 100's and talk about getting married. they've been talking about it for well over a year, and i wish they'd stop talking and just do it already. someone suggested i tell them so. maybe that's just what they need....for a strange girl in a sparkly tam to put down her coffee mug and say "HEY. we're all sick of hearing about this. just get married and be done with it." and then two little light bulbs would appear over their heads and they would run off to las vegas. my brother's friend justin moved to las vegas unable to hold three beers in his stomach. he lived there for awhile. then he moved back. last night he drank a bottle of maker's mark whiskey that must have been sitting around since 1989. i was spilling my drink everywhere and they were talking of molotov cocktails so i went to bed, and they went into the garage for the gasoline and went out whipping the grenades at the high school, and at rocks and goalposts and whatever else they happened upon on their drunken stroll through the neighborhood. i can't think what else to say today. my mom asked me to play some christmas music on the piano. i turned the coventry carol into something positively sinister. love kirsten 'all things are changing, and we are changing with them' Care2 make the world greener! http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Sinister :(
by MyMomSays＠aol.com 26 Nov '01

26 Nov '01

There was a time in my life when I thought that emoticons were really, really bad news---I was probably under the influence of someone hipper-than-thou who decided showing emotion was just crap--that never ending anything with an ounce of punctuation was best; yeah, being monotone is just the cat's pajamas--I have a friend who has a monotone voice. Although, when she gets excited her voice ladders up a few octaves and kind of gets squeaky, but usually only one word in a sentence is affected by this phenomenon (i.e.: "What are you TALKING about."). Whenever I call her house and ask for her, her brother (who also has this weird monotone voice) will not-so-quietly take the phone away from his ear and yell, also, punctuationless and emotionless: "Darcy Darcy Darcy." Please keep in mind that he is YELLING this.. and manages to yell it COMPLETELY DEVOID OF ALL EMOTION. I like to put a lot of dramatics into my voice; when something is exciting, I usually exclaim it to a ridiculous degree and also, manage to scare the wits out of the person to whom I am talking by grabbing their jacket or their arm or their shirt sleeve to emphasize the sheer EXCITEMENT of it all. Then, after all that, I will give them a look. The look is sort of an intense stare, mouth agape--a stare that I'd like to summon up as: "I JUST CAN'T PHANTOM THIS!" How does this sheer excitement translate online? Well, usually-- simply, CAPITAL LETTERS and.. well, !!!!! and more !!!!!! and yet more CAPITALS and another couple of !!!!!. It doesn't work out nearly as well as I'd planned. I cannot do the intense staring, nor the jacket grabbing. Funnily enough, the emoticon of ":(" manages to break my heart. That glum little parenthesis, its curvature leaking onto the metaphysical chin on the page--those open, teary, never blinking colon eyes--I automatically metaphysically flip to an illustration of a sad, eager-looking dog, a weepy-looking, dopey dog--preferably one who is homeless, and, well, as a consequence of its homelessness, REALLY sad. So at the first initial glances of this emoticon, "The frowny face", I, too, frown. Poor little frowny face. I don't actually feel sorry for the sayer of this emoticon--but rather, the emoticon itself. If I see a person frown, it is usually completely affected and cartoony. Do people actually FROWN when they are sad? I mean, at times when one is crying the mouth automatically turns down in an attempt to not-cry, but, really.. frowning is such an action that was totally invented by cartoons. No one frowns. Except on the computer screen, and that's when it really gets to me. It seems that the really joyful emotions are so comedic and social--being happy involves grabbing someone's jacket and laughing and staring intensely through smoke--the other ones, though, the ones I see most often on the computer screen; they just aren't visual. Or visible. When I'm sad I go to two places: under my covers, or online into #sinister. I'm thankful for those who have had to see me come to a point where I'm tapping out a frowny face; it doesn't happen all together too often, but when it does, thank you. And for others who want to use a frowny face--well, I'd hope to think I could do the same. Ok, enough of me being sappy. ;) Hands on the table, mandee m a y +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: love and death
by ian 25 Nov '01

25 Nov '01

(another disclaimer - i have been touched by lindsay baker's posts this week. none of the following is meant to trivialise what you've been through, love. i can't offer any words of wisdom or advice, but if virtual hugs can help, let me know. i've got a few packets of them around here somewhere) ------------------------------------ Dear Sinister, Why oh why oh why was a perfectly good evening's reading spoilt by gratuitous references to unsanitary parts of the human anatome, in particular those with connection to 'the sexual act'? Imagine my shock when, on settling down for a quiet evening's family entertainment, I am faced with multiple penii and references to homosexual behaviour which I can only describe as grossly indecent. I urge those in charge to put a stop to this deplorable situation immediately. I have made complaints, in writing, to the relevant authorities. Yours Concerned of Wolverhampton ------ ---- Mary Whitehouse died yesterday. Or perhaps it was friday. The weekend has turned into that pleasingly amorphous yet never-quite-big-enough entity known as "the bleurghurhguhgh period". so i'm not quite sure when the poisonous old cow was flung from the face of the earth into whatever festering cess-pit deserves her. but she's dead. that much i know, cos huw evans* wouldn't lie about such a thing. to many of you, this clearly meant nothing. it certainly has no b&s relevance. but i feel it deserves comment and so i find myself writing another sinister-obituary. mary whitehouse was perhaps the most famous "family rights" campaigner this country has ever seen. she was a great friend of margaret thatcher, and enoch powell and she fought a life-long battle to defend the viewpoint such political luminaries espoused, tackling any media unfortunate enough to suffer her blue-rinsed blows. highly politically influential, especially during the 1980s, she brought various injunctions against broadcasters and publishers for the "filth" they peddalled. the most infamous of these was her successful prosecution of the Gay Times for printing a poem in which a roman centurion fantasised about having sex with jesus, this being the only successful prosecution under the UK blasphemy laws ever brought. the editor of the publication in question received a fine and a nine-month suspended sentence and society got the message that gay behaviour was, officially, "obscene" - a court had said as much. and a few more teenagers struggling with growing up gay overdosed, but nobody really cared. and now, she's dead. forgive me for this, but it seems like a highly overdue dose of capital punishment. but i've never believed in that. (i believe in peace- (bitch)). i thought i'd be glad to see her shuffle off this mortal coil (why is it called a coil? should we update and call it a mortal condom? or a diaphragm?). as it is, i'm suprised - pleasantly - that i don't feel happy at her death. i just wish she'd never lived. can the world ever be better off for not having someone in it? in my better moments i like to feel like everyone has something to contribute. but what if that contribution is to bully, restrict, and spread hatred? what if enoch powell had never lived? would we be a happier world? or was there something he did, just once, that was worthwhile? was their contribution to provide something so extreme, and hateful, that it gave people something to rail against? --------------------------------------- nearly done with that subject, you'll be pleased to know. L7's "pretend we're dead" is playing in the background and it seems appropriate. i wonder if that's what the likes of thatcher, powell and whitehouse wanted. a nation of "individuals", looking after themselves, and nobody else, thinking regulated thoughts, living ordinary lives, and staggering towards their graves looking forward only to the sleep they hopedeath will bring. sometimes i look around me, and feel like one of those zombies. so i try to escape the undead state. i've found some fine cures for it, too. notably love, laughter, and music. music is a fine escape. our undead generation, and perhaps a few of those before us, find some life in the words of a certain scottish band. or perhaps a big english band, or perhaps a big american band. if it makes you feel alive, it doesn't really matter. just a momentary connection with life-the only thing bigger than death-is all it takes. because it is when you connect that you're feeling life, rather than just living it. i saw a scene from "the seventh seal" last night on channel 4's 100 greatest movies, death appears to a man on a beach. the man says i know you, you've always walked beside me. and i think its true. death will always be there, offering his embrace. he comes in colours. black - comforting and warm; white - terrifying and painful; red - instant and unexpected. but the thing to do is reject that embrace. because, sooner of later, you won't be able to escape it. and he may never let you go. and, one way to escape it in your waking hours, believe it or not, is belle and sebastian (phew! got in a reference). in fact, this list combines love,laughter and music, so perhaps its the ideal synthesis of all three (can a synthesis have three things in it? i'm not sure) : sarah clarke thinking what question she'd like to ask belle and sebastian, and concluding they'd probably give a boring answer, and making her own up, richard gillanders talking about singing "sexy eyes" to a woman with only one, kirsten kenyon talking about -well, let's face it, she could probably talk about watching concrete set and it would be interesting - all of this recalls me to life. and i thank you for it. i wanted to go over what you've all said this week, but i think i should go now. as the buddha once said: "piss, shit, wank, fuck, arse". oh no, sorry, that was me. ian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tomorrow will bring happiness Or at least, another day Phil Ochs ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the magic bus?
by trish delish 25 Nov '01

25 Nov '01

hello sinister kids to start by answering mark sweeney's question about the bus to belfast, well...i actually can't answer the question, cos i know nowt either....much excited emailing has been going on since the belfast gig was announced (99% of that email being generated by yours truly, got a bit over excited...) but i have been in touch with 2 other members of the irish sinister massive - although with numbers like that, methinks massive is a bit of a misnomer....anyway, no one has any idea what the story is with this mystery bus, personally i like to think the band's tour bus will pop down to dublin to pick us all up, and we can play cards and drink rum all the way to belfast, but if anyone hears anything slightly more realistic sounding, i'd love to hear it... got IWUTU today, and have been scaring people ever since....it's just so infectiously poppy, particularly i love my car, i mean, it'd be a sin not to bop along....i have to say, i think that song features the best ever trumpet, i'm always amazed how mick manages to steal the best lines without ever uttering a word... does anyone else think there's also a good dollop of kiddie movie music going on in that song? i think the trumpet interlude in the middle (i know there;s a name for that bit, can never think of it) anyway, it's just this great big boozy trumpet warbling away, kinda reminds me of miss hannigan and her crew in annie...ok. i am totally the only person to hear that, and now you all think i'm a freak. rather like the people sitting beside me in the computer room - all this energetic head bobbing and random smiling has them convinced i'm on day release enough! i'll leave your heads some peace trish delish +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: listening to you reminds me of a motor's endless drone...and how the death are so damn lucky.
by nafees saeed 25 Nov '01

25 Nov '01

my dad woke me up at 5 am this morning. i acted surprised even though i knew he was going to. today was to be our trip to london, although you could hardly call it a trip...more of a drive down there drop something off then come back type thing. it's strange waking up at 5 am because it doesn't actually feel as if it's a new day, it just feels like an extension of the previous day. sort of like when you fall asleep in the evening and wake up again thinking you've been asleep forever when in fact you've only been asleep for an hour. what was nice was having my dad make me breakfast. he hasn't done that since i was four or something and though it was only toast which were indeed burnt and had an uneven distribution of margarine (the first few had loads, the rest barely had any) it was still nice. the world's dead at 5am, i suppose it can be because people don't really have a good reason to be out that early. apart from paperboys. although our paperboy's gone a bit slack really, he's forgotten that he's actually supposed to put the paper through the letterbox so he just leaves them to get wet on the drive way. do you remember that game paperboy? today i realised that british motorways are actually really boring. there's nothing to them, it's just fields and industrial plants. occasionally there'll be a reservoir. i dunno what they could do to make them more interesting, perhaps animated road signs? another thing...trucks. they're big and scary, i think every truck we drove past almost crashed into us or felt the need to beep their horn... eddie storbart drivers wear uniforms, that's great. long car journey's are really bad. some people like them, but i just can't stand sitting still for so long, is that a bad thing? especially when you see the same things over and over again. we couldn't agree what to put on the stereo so we compromised on simon & garfunkel. which inevitably brought out the "they don't come as good as this anymore" comments from my dad. we stopped at some service station, which didn't break the trend of all other service stations in the country; a burger king, arcade machines, some sort of wh smith type store, a restaurant which has a "tea and cake" special and some people who are giving out free samples. today it was "echo" chocolate bars. once i got four free bottles of sunny delight...which may not be a good thing. didn't really get to do much in london, when my dad went to drop stuff off at his client's place i went and bought a paper and wandered round. i saw these people who were dressed up like wizards who were probably on their way to see harry potter. my local cinema has this competition where they take photos of people who dressed up to go and see it, then they'll give a "mystery prize" to the best one. when i was younger i always used to enter competitions to win a "mystery prize" but alas i never won. i just comfort myself by thinking that they were crap and that people only ever won toothbrushes or pencils. my parents hosted a dinner party the other night, i don't like it when that happens. it's not that i don't like my parents' friends it's just that they're a bit...boring. if an alien ever came to one of them they'd think that all middle age people ever talked about was cars and houses, and occasionally holidays. i just hid in my room and listened to arab strap records. i like that "shag pop" genre that somebody termed on a post a while back. --- some people were talking about b&s miss hearings, mine was quite recent. you know that bit in 'take your carriage clock and shove it' where it goes "you have whined to you got what you want"? i thought it was "you have wanked till you got what you want". it's strange the way miss hearings always seem to be smutty. i've drank too much orange juice. take care, nafees. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: sinister: the fall
by Histrianic＠aol.com 25 Nov '01

25 Nov '01

hello to all you sinister types! i am in new york and life is great. (i hate grate. ah, don't shoot me.) i went to the first concert of my life that was unchaperoned and paid for by myself last night. i saw the fall at the knitting factory and they were really good. great, even. and very loud. the opening band was horrible, and there was far too much smoke for me to remain conscious until the end, but it was great! mark e. smith passed by me on the street and came two inches close to touching my arse when i was waiting to go in.. and he did not kick or hit or spit. i also stopped by a store called rocks in your head, and bought three cds. my dear friend max, who i went to the concert with, gave me a bjork and a patty smith cd for my birthday. it was all exciting. a guy who worked there (we dubbed him 'scarf guy' for the pink scarf he was wearing) kept on talking to us while we looked around. he was also at the fall concert, which was rather strange. he was there with a will levin look-alike, which was even scarier. (for those who don't remember, which is probably all of you, will levin is my forever little crush). but scarf guy was really cute. he told me to buy a go-betweens poster that i was considering. me: max, should i buy that go-betweens poster? max: um.. scarf guy: is it the lost album poster? you should. those are pretty handsome dudes. you know, men in tight pants. you wouldn't like that? i now have a wee little crush on the scarf guy. sad, isn't it? ooh! i turned sixteen! i am sixteen years and a week old! belated presents are still accepted at rural new hampshire. i've babbled for long enough, must scoot and listen to the adorable moldy peaches album.. cheers h +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
