Sinister: sugababe ripple
by Gordon 22 Apr '01

22 Apr '01

and a time of the day it is too. Lest the weekend be restricted to a dialogue between Julie and the Pinefox, I thought I'd have a crack (or is that a craic?) too. Having purchased both 'the writing's on the wall' by destiny's child and 'one touch' by our sugababes as well as 'power, corruption and lies' by the mighty new order, I venture the following: Jaquelin du Pré's rendition of the 'adagio (but not too much)' from Dvorak's cello concerto in B minor op.104 is better than all three I agree with julie that the best destiny's track is 'independent women', even featuring an a capella passage strangely reminiscent of a chordal sequence I recall from a mid-eighties new-age album The sugababes are like vanessa paradis multiplied by three in terms of dodgy adult taste but well poptastic for the youth of today I agree with the Pinefox that Julie really does have a good way with ice-cream descriptions If I put my New Order CD on side two my player fails to respond. The response from the philistines in my sixth-year common room back in 1988 to 'your silent face' was less than enthusiastic. I shall not be downhearted. 'Embrace and Filter': is this not simply another way of saying 'Listen Without Prejudice'? What on earth is QAF? Quality Assurance Foundation? Easy Listening Andy Williams rules... that man has one hell of a taste in furniture and golf buggies. May his sunglasses remain forever tinted with violet. Clasp Your Hands Behind Your Back Young Person You Walk Like Some Graffiti I Read in a Toilet Thanks to comrades Ovenden, Lisa&Lee, Mike and Jonathan for clarifying my confusions. *Kinski Uncut*, btw, is a scandalous and entertaining autobiography: "We can't keep lying there forever like this. If she didn't want something from me, she wouldn't have climbed into my bed. That's obvious." ... I'd better not quote the following paragraph. Gordon just in the way that you need to know the first letter(s) of a word in order to look it up in a dictionary, you need to know something of an answer before posing its question is there a question for every answer, or an answer for every question? what are questions and answers anyway? ;p hehe +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: moz, you can eat my children anyday
by GardeningAtNight＠aol.com 22 Apr '01

22 Apr '01

is shyness ever beneficial? i've been having weird psychic predictions this week due to lack of sleep i think. i was walking from the parking lot into a store and the idle thought went through my head, "what if i were to see bill [my old guitar teacher who i haven't seen in over a year and who i really miss because he was awesome and he loved "i know where the summer goes" because struan says arse in it] here?" and scarily enough, when i entered, there he was. and being the dork i am, i turned around and ran to the back of the store. i don't think he saw me. i was thinking of saying hi but i remembered a kind of embarassing e-mail i wrote him telling him about how much he helped me personally, not just guitar-wise, and i felt quite mortified so i left without him ever noticing. i hate feeling all gawky and teenagerish. but some adults tell me the sensation never leaves even in adulthood. how depressing. there were some musicians setting up to play at borders last night, and as i sat down to read the riverfront times i noticed a shirt one of the guys was wearing. it was navy blue and i could've sworn it had those little looper people on it in little boxes. but my vision is going in my old age so i couldn't tell if that's what it was. i think it was though. i was feeling kind of antsy and restless though so i just got up and left in the pouring rain. so, if you are the guy with brown hair who is fairly attractive in an ed o'brien sort of way and played at the borders in creve coeur missouri last night, well, you are cool for having a looper shirt and it made me smile. when i left borders i went across the street to the record store and bought a used morrissey cd, which seems somehow appropriate. maladjusted seems to be the only record in which he looks pretty good on the cover. on the others he looks like a scary old man who wants to eat my children. to the person who instant messaged me yesterday to tell me they sillistrated one of my posts: thank you for sillistrating me and telling me you sillistrated me. it made me feel warm inside. i wish i looked like the "me" in the sillistration because that person is a smart dresser and seems to have quite manageable hair. love, samantha +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: 105 years old! Talk about virtuoso!
by M. Curtin 22 Apr '01

22 Apr '01

Hi kidlets, Should any of you be wondering, wearing green suede shoes and beige corduroys during a MONSOON surely spells disaster. Yes, I now have green trimmed pants that are 4 times as long as they used to be. Who knew they held so much water? I don't really mind as I do happen to like rain (yes, I'm not normal) but as I was patiently waiting at the bus stop, some little punky kid comes up and says: "Hey Bitch! Don't you know your pants are turning green?" I felt like responding: "Hey bastard, don't you know you're singlehandedly destroying the English language?" But I didn't. Because I'm a nice person. And generally aloof. And I like to start sentences with conjunctions. Just call me little Miss Atwood. Speaking of punky kids though, is it just me or are people getting shorter? I swear to God there are so many tiny people yet they all seem to be the mean, mal-adjusted kids. Maybe they just stand out more because they're so BASTARDY, or maybe there are just more bastards out there. Please don't think that I attribute small stature to mean people, or vice versa, as I know there are many short and nice people, and tall and mean ones. One really cannot deny the fact, though, that no one is as tall as they used to be (except my corduroys, of course - they've far exceeded any height restrictions). I just had to get that innane little anecdote out of the way. I was really writing to explain a problem I have. Am I the only one in the world who finds the Smiths' "Some Girls Are Bigger THan Others" to be sheer hilarity? I laugh out loud everytime I hear this song. The part where Antony says to Cleopatra: "Ooh, I say...." simply KILLS ME! I thought everyone would feel this way, but I played it to a friend (who is usually quite open to said band) and she just looked at me funny. "I don't get it," she said. Here's the crux of the issue: I don't get it either. I cannot for the life of me explain why this is so funny. Why I am catapulted into the throes of such passion upon hearing those words is beyond me. I haven't felt this confused since they tried to teach me fractions. Do any of you understand? My only explanation is that I'm a frighteningly boring person. I mean, really boring. I actually listen to the CBC - voluntarily. In fact, none of you are reading this right now because you've all fallen into a deep pit of sleep. Speaking of understanding, can any of the Quebec sinisterians (I know you're out there) please explain to me that show 'La Fureur'? I don't get it. Actually, I get enough of it to care about what I don't understand. For instance, why is everyone on the show so goooooood looooookin'? Do they not let ugly, unfashionable people on, or is Quebec simply a hotbed for the pretty and fashionable? (My money's riding on the former.........). Lastly, what's with that part where they all start singing together and the music cuts out and one person is left to sing? They always have such pained looks on their faces, then everyone cheers when they're done as if they've cured cancer. It's not that hard to read lyrics off a screen, is it? Finally, are there any Max Jacob scholars out there? If so, please let me know. I have some questions for you. (hmmmm....ominous!) yours, drowsily, Marybethhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh P.S. Sorry for my incorrect and grammatically culpable use of they, etc. when I should use he/she, etc. I'm just too lazy to fix it. I'm sorry. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Kevin Wilson Said
by P F 21 Apr '01

21 Apr '01

Eric Cheese said that he liked videos and things. Fine. Eric, my battle is not with you. It's with Hastings. Warren Hastings. Julie talked about me and my boss, and I thought, by golly, if my boss could see this!! That tickled me. She also said stuff about how we should all get into the Sugababes and stay in touch, which I haven't time to quote properly now. Response? Julie, I'll bet you're a lovely gal and all, but you're talking a load of piffle. Mooro said he hoped that the songs weren't really finished; and he touched head and heart, if not hips. Someone mentioned the Fairways - and you know, it's true, they made a good record once. I just can't deny it. Noel Gallagher said: 'I haven't got time to think about how my records are going to sound'. I don't know how laughable this is. The NME talked about New York, 'excitingly', and thus dully. It didn't talk to Dudley Klute, you see. For those of you who don't remember Dudley, he starred in the classic film Klute. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Re: Sinister: aisles and aisles of aislers
by Andrew CHurchman 21 Apr '01

21 Apr '01

hi, You forgot one little, but very important, limb on your aislers set family tree. Amy also played drums in the absolutly fantastic Go Sailor! with the absolutly fantastic Rose Melberg. They have a CD collection of their singles on Lookout records. this bit doesn't really have any content but i highly recommend anyone out there who wants to expand their musical horizons to get "spirit they've gone, spirit they've vanished" by Avey Tare and Panda Bear. Absolutly mindblowing! Harsh electronic noise, over beautifully constructed melodies. they're going on tour soon with, my favorite, Black Dice! oohhh. --- andrew from NJ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: mutiny on the mounty
by eric 21 Apr '01

21 Apr '01

dear sinister, I remember a while ago someone saying something about this, but senor pinefox was nice enough to comment on it, reminding me that I wanted to also comment on it: "There is something to be said about the altered phenomenology of film since video: ie, the possibility that viewers concentrated on movies more when they might not get to see another film again for another 20 years." this seems plausible, but to what end? I must say that I am greatly in favor of video/dvd/laserdisc etc. because my chosen field is film studies, and without those lovely mediums where we can watch movies over and over and analyze them to death like the cool literature kids have gotten to do for a long time with their "books", film studies wouldn't exist. well, it might, but it'd be hard to do. I'm sure no one cares. I'll shut up now. -eric p.s. you should all go to dublin. it's a keen place with more vintage clothing stores per square mile than any other city I've ever been to. plus, it's got the dublin viking adventure, and really, how can you go wrong? ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Wigs Out
by David Moore 21 Apr '01

21 Apr '01

Hi Belle And Sebastian Fans, PINK WIG Thursday evening went to the Peacock Manifesto event at Borders in Oxford Street. Peacock, Evil Bob & Bev rolled up at 6 pm in costume, looked a bit freaky walking in off the street. Peacock looking painfully thin, slicked back grey hair, long droopy moustache & yellow check trousers. Bev a symphony in pink from her heels to her wig, sporting a vertiginous cleavage. Evil Bob a bit nondescript (apart from the hairnet, I guess). The programme was pretty much as Mr Hewitt described, Stuart David couldn't show up as he's hiding out somewhere tropical from Peacock because Peacock wants to do him for nicking his ideas & putting them in a book & not giving him any credit (this message communicated by video) then the 3 appear to put their side of the story. Evil Bob was sniffing glue (well, a Pritt Stick actually), they played Peacock's version of Rhinestone Cowboy (not a patch on Splat!'s Wichita Lineman), Bob's of Miss You & Bev sang Sugar Town. I thought Bev was the star of the show, with much better comic timing than the guys. A laugh. Like the book really, quite amusing and over in an hour. I can't remember all the questions: maybe the funniest was someone asking Evil Bob if he had heard of Ena Sharples. They signed copies of the book and I asked Peacock to forge the tit-lickers in mine too, which he did very accurately. TWINS, NO WIGS Then off to the Shepherds Bush Empire (God, I've attended some shitty gigs there!) to see the Scottish Guitar Army. Arrived in time to see MUM. Never heard them before but got quite into it by the last number. Twins pretty and not so scary as on the FISHYCLAP cover. smell THE glove (SHAVED HEADS) Next up Mogwai. Lots of soft/LOUD, the loud very. A cello player with a very distinctive tone. I think they're taking this Spinal Tap thing a bit far, because they must have amps that go up to 15. My ears haven't recovered yet. Not the most moving Mogwai gig I've been to, some of the new material doesn't stand up to being performed at such length. NO WIG/ONE TWIN Anyay, a brass section came on stage for Secret Pint. Talking of wearing wigs on album covers, I didn't have a very good view, but Mick, was that you up there, playing trumpet with the bloke from V-Twin whose name I don't know? EC WAS HERE Don Pedro mentioned Dave Edmunds version of Girl's Talk recently (BTW, I have the album, would you like a copy? :) ) Does anyone have a tape of the 1978 (?) Rockpile BBC session when they played that, I Knew The Bride & Heart Of The City? I'd love to hear that again. Joe, I *really* hope you didn't mean what you said about having written your last song.

Sinister: Run for cover.
by Julie 21 Apr '01

21 Apr '01

Ah, a mere 24 hours after my last bit of piffle, I'm back again! I just picked up a copy of the Village Voice while purchasing some Godiva White Chocolate Raspberry ice cream and Pommes Frites with mango chutney mayo (Will Porter approved - "They're really fuckin' good!"™). I flipped to a random page and found a review of the new movie that Cute Stuart From QAF is in. The review was titled "The Boy Done Wrong Again...The State That I Am In". The Voice gives all their reviews two line titles like that, for instance "Blew in the Face...Natural Porn Killers". Which I think also has something to do with Belle & Sebastian. Speaking of Stuart From QAF, QAF (the actual British series) came out (ha ha) on video and dvd this week! However, it is really fucking expensive. I'm not sure where they get off (ha ha) charging $60 for series 1 and $30 for series 2, but it's definitely worth a rental. xoxo Julie Note to PF: The subject line is the name of the Sugababes new single, only £2.99 (£1.49 tape) at Woolworth's! Destiny's Child's latest single is called Survivor. It's sort of poo, I much prefer Independant Woman and Jumpin' Jumpin'. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

> No further down the road re: "Jeremy In Chicago". Someone said something > about The Ailser Set, but the song doesn't sound *anything* like them, plus > it's a male vocalist etc. I am very confused ..... even if it isn't a B&S > song, it's still fantastic. > (and I appologise if the issue has been resolved ... I get the digest, and > hence always read posts a day or so late) > Well the singer is the lovely Wyatt, otherwise known as the guitarist of the Aislers Set who writes and sings the odd song. Including another very pretty song on their new Attraction Action Reaction 7", which he sang at the Monarch in London on Sunday. Bless 'im... Talking of London and Londoners, you lot don't half go on about your picnics don't you? It's slightly compulsive obsessive if you ask me, but maybe that's something to do with washing. Which I don't really know much about being a dirty old man. I recommend you all have little picnics in your little London back gardens, or your dog-shit laden local grassy knoll, until you learn how to get on and be nice to each other London people. My local grassy knoll happens to be Greenwich Hill. Anyone fancy joining me? What fun... I recommend you argue about it off list, or better still mud wrestle for it, before Linda shoots you with her ping pong ball gun. Whatever strapping lad said something about having it at noon though was surely having a laugh. Be serious. For those who are still awake, I think they'll be watching Ant n Dec on CD:UK. Archel also said something about DDR: DDR, or Dance Dance Revolution, is a global phenomoenon. And if the biggest thing since the invention of the self-opening jam jar. It's based on the ritual dancing of a tribe known as the Glamazons in the Brazilian jungle (the one's without the plate in their gobs). They stamp on the floor in routine patterns, as passed down from generation to generation, to prevent the rain when they need to sunbathe. Little do they know in their hedonistic little existences, that they live in a rain forest. There's not much they can do about the rain. Different families had different dances ranging from the Paranoia clan who have very quick feet, to the slightly more laid back Steps clan, to whom too much physical exercion is the last thing on their mind. Anyway in conclusion, it is basically a dancing arcade game where you jump up and down on pads while following arrows at screens to loud music. Doesn't that sound fun! I can't believe people have the audacity to do that in public. It really! is rather silly. Basically it is entertianment for the intellectually challenged. Unfortunately, I believe that there are photos in existence of me doing this so called "DDRing" which much like Geri Halliwell's ballet dancing in her new video involves the photography trickery of superimposing my head on an admittedly very talented droopy arsed dancer. Much like the Geri video, I recommend you avoid these photos. Anyway, too much relevance and not enough cabbage (hello cabbage!).

Sinister: Chartsengrafs
by Matthew Henderson 21 Apr '01

21 Apr '01

Hello all: This is my first time posting. I was just let out of the nursury a week ago. Are there any sinisters in Mobile, Alabama? Or anywhere in the south? If so, shoot me an e-mail. We could have our own picnic, although something tells me it would be populated by mosquitos and ants, but sometimes mosquitos can be quite friendly. I only recently discovered a really cool city in the south. Me and my friends drove up to Athens, GA to see Weezer (rock!) play. Afterwards, me and my girlfriend went to downtown Athens and stumbled across the 40 Watt (where a guy I know saw Belle and Sebastian play once). It was all the Weezer nerds dancing like fools to awesome music. I heard New Order and rushed in. It was amazing. I never thought I would dance to Belle and Sebastian in a club in my life, but it happened when they played "Le Pastie de la Bourgeouise". It was an incredible night. Saw Arab Strap there a few weeks ago, and they were...drunk. Enjoyable though. Anyhow, Me and a friend are driving up to Atlanta tomorrow to see Grandaddy play at the Cotton Club. In the way way off-chance there is someone going to that, they should email me. Maybe we could meet there. I don't anything about Atlanta, and I should have some hours to burn. Anyway, I'm sure it'll be a rockasaurus rex show no matter who's there.
