Sinister: visuals
by Hannah Brown 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

Hello people, Ive just got my "feelin sinister" tape back off my friend after 3 months and im VERY happy. I really think its one of my favourite albums. Ive listened to it constantly since 95/96 and it still makes me go gooey. About the visuals. We dont really have a schedule we just go along to places around our area and ask if they would like it, some of them dont though. We are doing some tonight at brixton and again next week. We have converted some of them on to digital so i could try and attatch them but im shit at computers and it might mess things up. Can i get something off my chest now. Ive developed an attraction (quite quickly) on someone who is way out of my league, you know, he runs in higher, more attractive, more popular circles.Hes intelligent, cute, a good dj and he told me some nice things. i have this very annoying defect where i go red really easily every time he comes near me now i burn up. he could walk in any second and i would turn beetroot. Ive just seen a video with him in it. i was glad the lights were turned off and when the credits rolled i left the room to compose myself. I,m in dangerous territory here, im glad its the last day of term, i can sort my head out, does anyone have any remidies for this, im 20 for fuck sake, i should be past that stupidly shy stage. hannah +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: She's not behind the door
by P F 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

1. Look, if people keep blowing the goddamn whistle on this soundtrack thing, the whole deal is off. OK? I mean, Ally Cook has already been kicked out for the prices he's charging. ($96,000 a day!) The geezer Jackson is getting slow coming forward with backward songs. Todd is awful pissed, people. It's all about Loretta. It's all about Ann-Marie. It's all about the money. 2. RAGGED GLORY, slight return: 'Country Home' squares a serious circle by being the missing link between 'Country House' and 'Roll With It'. That is not mere frippery, kids; think about it. Listen to the record, I mean, records. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

Sinister: like the wind needs the trees
by The Narrow Wizard 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

hey folks just a couple of things firstly thanks to all the cool people who replied to my last post about twenty of you correctly told me that the random lyric quote was freak scene by dinosaur jr. Sorry to those of you who got it right but were too late to claim the prize which has already been sent to the first correct responder (I hope she likes it) secondly it was recently brought to my attention that at least one person on the list (and pro'lly a few more) thought that I was gay, I feel it is my duty to reassure female sinisterines that I am in fact straight (and also single by the way). Actually this news will come as a great relief to the gay blokes on the list and will strike fear into the hearts of the women who will start worrying that i might fancy them. anyway thats it from me except to point out that anyone who lives anywhere near glasgow will be beaten up by me if they dont go along to see damon and naomi play at king tuts on may 20, you owe it to your ears to go along. well I'll annoy you all some other time luv'n'hugs owen With that the narrow wizard waggled his bushy eyebrows and disappeared in a flash of blue smoke leaving behind nothing but a faint smell of cinammon +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: a beetroot for the day you said that you'd be true to me
by emma discovery 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

g'morning. on the topic of belle and sebastian and parents: when I played them for her, my mother said, "this is nice, but I like songs I already know the words to." my father, upon hearing iyfs, said, "what is *this*?" and proceeded to imitate stuart m by mumbling and whining unintelligibly and out of tune. at the time, this very much irritated my teenage self and I believe I flounced out of the room. on the topic of cheap scottish stuff, I remember there being a chain of consumer electronics stores called mcduff's or maybe macduff's. it seems to me they've been out of business a long time, but I remember ads featuring a scary kilt-wearing man telling how low the prices were. yeah. and to whomever caused me to receive a message from miss crush this morning, well, there's been too much talk of missed opportunities on this list already. emma __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Livin La Vida LoCash
by Clarke, Sarah J (EU) 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

You know what? I had no idea that AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF THE DEEEEEEAD-AH! were actually called AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY TRAIL OF DEAD! Thank you for pointing that out Jeanette! Hardcore shoutouts and RAWK handshakes all round! But I think that the first one is better. "...the dead" implies an overall aura of DEATH whereas "..of dead" makes you think "dead what?", and then you get sidetracked into thinking about mutilated cattle corpses in American deserts. Booooring! If this was the bands intention, then I think they are most dull. I will continue to use the extra "the" version, unless this causes offence to purists of course, which I would *hate* to do... hang on no, I love being a contrary little madam, so nurr. And You Will Know Us By Trail Of Sinister sounds better without the extra "the" though. I don't know who AYWKUBTTOTD are, but I think they are genius! Will anyone make me a tape? I'll do swapsies of anything you so require or make you a fab mix tape in return! Go on :) Is there a Low/Trail of Dead crossover? Rad. When I last saw Belle & Sebastian I saw uh.... uh... people who go to see Belle & Sebastian aren't the type to wear band t-shirts. Or they weren't, last time I saw them anyway. What bands do Belle and Sebastian fans cross-over into? These days I mean? It's all moved on from the days of 70's WHO. Don't let me down by saying the Clientele. You'll cheapen our relationship and I mean that from the heart. HMV is currently selling a 3cd box set of The Fall earlier recordings for only 13.99. I recommend it mightily. I also found Satan Is Real by the Louvin Brothers for 9.99 which I cannot fail to recommend either. However, seeing as last time I saw it I could have sworn it was 18.99 be warned the price might be liable to fluctuations. Is someone on the list a Dominatrix? I believe it may have been mentioned in a post, somewhere... the only comment I can make to that is that sometimes I like to eat *weetabix*, relevant in that it rhymes. If I was going to try any sexual kink, it would be the one where you go into a big rubber tent and it starts to squeeze you. I bet it would tickle! Actually, that doesn't sound more fun than drunken groping really does it... Lord have mercy!

Sinister: happiness where are you...i haven't got a clue
by Rob S. 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

This is exciting news. B&S doing the soundtrack for a Todd Solondz movie...Welcome to the Dolls House is adorable. And Happiness is my favourite movie ever. I have never laughed so hard in a film...I utterly love it. I do not think Mr.Solondz can go wrong...his shorts are wonderful (movie shorts, not clothing shorts. Though I am sure those are wonderful too). Plus Mark Borchardt of American Movie fame is in it...and that is another of my fav. movies..

Sinister: Trail of Dead... T-Shirts

Funny you mention that Sarah..... Because at the Low show in Paris, there was a short, round, bepectacled boy sitting next to me wearing... yes indeed... an And You Will Know Us By The Trail of the Dead T-shirt. Maybe he's a friend of Dave [Starfire] Geraghty. About the show though, Low asked for requests during their encore. I wanted them to cover "Legal Man" but they played their Easter song instead.

Sinister: Kathy's kisses
by Ian Nicolson 23 Mar '01

23 Mar '01

I've realised of late that sometimes my posts perhaps seem as if I'm trying to be some kind of Scottish media correspondant, but I don't mean to, honest. I just think that you're probably far more interested in reading about what the papers are saying about Belle and Sebastian than me whinging about how bored I am at work (other than the times when I'm devising what games it would be possible to play in my building - the corridors are perfect for either chasey or some kind of James Bond thing - or, like yesterday, planning a musical with the work person I share a psychic link with.) or talking about Eastenders (which even I'm getting tired of just now). But anyways. The current issue of The List (which you should all rush out and buy immediately if you want to find out all the exciting things that you missed in Edinburgh and Glasgow last week) has a couple a little things you might be interested in. One is a review of the Glasgow Yooni gig, which, while hardly a patch on our very own cub reporter David Howie's wonderful effort, is quite nice and quite short, so being a generous sort (and because I'm a sad bastard with nowt better to do. Except work) I've decided to type it out. Here it is! --------------------------------------------------- BELLE AND SEBASTIAN Glasgow University, Wed 28 Feb **** 'You should all get a coupon to come back and see us for free once we've rehersed', declares Stuart Murdoch at this 'election rally' to publicise the B&S frontman's race to become Glasgow University's Rector. 200 students and Murdoch's election rival Alasdair Gray are shoe-horned into this 'church hall' venue for a 30-minute stagger, saunter and shuffle through the highlights of their last LP. The occasional stuffiness of their recorded material is eliminated here and their serene and intricate melodies make most sense. Even a ramshakle rendition of 'Sympathy For The Devil' cannot fail to distract from their obvious musical skills. And he still lost the election. Politics' loss is our gain. (Mark Robertson) ---------------------------------------------------------- The other thing, in the same magazine, is an interviewy bit with Stuart David (does he still smell of wee, do we know?) and a feller called Luke Sutherland, who used to be in a band called Long Fin Killie, who I think did a single with Mark E Smith once, but then so has everyone. I'm not typing that out, cause it's far too long and I'm not that generous, but there's little bits and pieces here and there, such as Stuart D. being a big fan of Glen Campbell ('Rhinestone Cowboy' being his first favourite song) and hating Jamie Oliver. But that's only natural. Actually, it's not all that interesting really. You should never have bothered reading this paragraph. Sorry. In Sinister related stuff I noticed, whilst perusing a Slade website in the attempt to finish a crossword (that's a Slade website, by the way, not a Suede one. I always get them two mixed up. I have done for years. I remember back in the heady days of the early 90s confusing my first ever girlfriend by talking about seeing Suede doing 'Merry Christmas Everybody' on the telly. Maybe Suede will do that one day. Maybe they'll become a Slade tribute band. We can only hope. But sorry, like Ronnie Corbett, I digress) that Slade fans (not Suede fans), who are hardly known for their spelling abilities, spell 'great/grate' 'grayt'. One can only imagine the squabbling that would erupt if Slade fans (not Suede fans) were to gatecrash a Sinister picnic. "It's 'A-T-E!" "No, it's A-Y-T!!" "You can stick your top hat up your arse!!" Aaaages ago (like, last week) Jason, the Prince of the Pickles, pondered: >Why is everything cheap (in America) described as Scottish? and, more recently, Archel opined: >scotland = cheapness It's all that Portobello bastard Harry Lauder's fault. He propogated (is that the right word? I'm not so sure) the myth of Scots being stingy drunks in the New World. Which just isn't true at all. We're not stingy. But ye'll have had yer tea... Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. I think I should stop. But before I do, congratulations to Jules and Mikey, neither of whom I've ever met, but I feel they need congratulating anyway. Nice one! Isn't Sinister ace?

okay, i'm being a naughty little angel today. I'm supposed to be going to see the doctor today, and leaving work early to do so...i'm not going, as i'm terrified of doctors and i'm not really that sick. i'm going to get a new tattoo though...to add to my collection, i'm finally getting an angel my left arm, near the shoulder (for previous tattoo's please refer to the body parts page.) okay, this movie soundtrack thingy...i looked it up on imdb.com and i hope they're kidding. i looked up what Todd Solondz was doing and his movie is starring James Van Der Beek Squeek...Plot Outline: Young people endure the pressures of fitting in at high school and college. Ummm...this movie was untitled but was listed as being in post-production. if this is true i'll be buying the soundtrack but certainly not going to see the movie. (i'm a little lost today, so i could be making this all up...) hmmm...maybe i'll go do some work, or at least go hit on some cute engineers... a.
