Sinister: Stuart David's Booksigning
by Jason Andreas 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

I asked the question to Peacock Johnson (Stuart dressed and acting like a hard man): "Does Stuart David smell of wee?" The reply was probably unprintable.

Sinister: Niem thou king
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

Hewwo, Well, I've had fun. Easter Sunday I went out with some sinister types, and got really far too drunk for a girl of my age. I don't actually remember anything that happened. I think I might have been sick, because I woke up with sick all over my jeans and my bag and everything, and I had a glorious hangover which lasted for about 2 days and involved lots of me being sick and moaning to my lovely patient boyfriend. So I'll just apologise for getting drunk in front of the cool set, and having to be picked up by my (not ecstatic) mother at 4 in the morning, which was not at all fun. I also met up for pizza with the world favourite peadophile-loving, drug addict necrophiliac, Igor. And I was blessed to be allowed to sit in on one of his prank phone call sessions, as he phoned Julian Danskins office and then Derrick Brown's house. I don't actually want to know how that boy gets the numbers of so many peadophiles. Probably because he's an inbred from East Fife who left school at fifteen and cant go out and drink because he has no job or money and he's not old enough to sign on so his only source of amusement is tracking down sex offenders on the internet and phoning them up to congratulate them. He sent me about 6Mb worth of Danskin erotic stories. They were funny, in a sick way. For someone who's supposed to be, according to him, 'an illiterate sheepshagger from Glenrothes', he writes in a really funny way. I should get a nicer circle of friends. I skipped about today singing modern rock song. It's not one my favourites, but it's pretty. The bit where Stevie (i think) sings is really nice. But i found a live thingy of it, and the harmonies are much prettier, like on 'rock and roll'. It's hard to describe, but it's grate. I went to the same place that brought us the rage against the machine tribute night. This time another bad covers band were playing. I got there and within two seconds of arriving nearly got beat up by a group of greenday grungers. Then this really mokeish girl in my chemistry class who laughed when I got knocked out said "oh my god, what the hell are you"?. I wasn't dressed too out of place in a goth/grunge youth club. It wasn't as though I had on pink and white and orange glittery tights, a lavender (that's a colour because I said so) skirt, bunches, and (shock horror) a COLOURFUL top. It was really funny, sticking out like a sore thumb, in the way that everyone dresses in black there. But the girl that i've never spoken to before started going mad at me, and she started looking quite silly, so I said "yer maw" and walked away. Goth are really funny to wind up, before they get violent. Later on she tried to yell at me at the bar which serves no drink and I just looked at her and said "yer maw". And then I skipped away singing 'yer maw' to the tune of the danskin song that igor sings all the time. AND brave me, I heckled the singer in the band because they were awful. They'd been playing for ages, and we all thought they'd finished so we started to relax. And someone that they really obviously planted in the crowd shouted for an encore. And everyone was shouting 'no no no no' including me. And then the whole room went really quiet for some reason just as I shouted "f*ck off" really loudly. I'm not a very sweary person, usually, but if you ever sat through and hour and a half of offspring and blink 182 covers, you'd swear too. So the singer looked over at me, because I was right at the front (no one was dancing, as they were too bad) and said "Haw, whit are ye all aboot ya wee tart", and I said "go away and hit puberty" and they said "haw, bawbag" and stuff and I said "come on, play some spice girls" and I got applauded. By goths. And grungers. I left early too, because my mum isn't letting me stay out late at all after sunday. I should go now, I'm boring. I leave with a quote: "And then the mafia came along and shot the absolute f*ck out of Danskin the Polish Dinosaur and he exploded into a million pieces on the pavements of Methilhill (quite a rough area)" Amazingly, this was not by Igor and pals. It was quite funny when I heard it. It probably isnt funny to any of you.

Sinister: the trouble with conversation
by carle groome 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

don't ask, don't tell funny about that, how it applies to almost everything in interpersonal communication. to speak, you offer an opinion. to answer, you should respond. with the first, you can go anywhere, be anything. but the second... ah! there's the rub. you have to have heard the question or remark in the first place. and what did you hear? the text? the subtext (not to mention tone, word choice, punctuations)? body language? subtle reference to environment? a misquote? it's like that title, "what we talk about when we talk about love" by raymond carver. this is why we like literature and canned music: this is something we can work on until we get it right; and this goes for authors as well as interpreters. (BTW as content, re: many moons ago arg. of struan vs. taping of one-off gig at uni--he just wants to get it proper, sorted. can't argue with that logic. tho' "sympathy for the devil"?--i'd like to hear that even if it were dubbed onto a mono minicassette with a condenser mike) same way as rewriting: there's something there--buried in the mucking blurt--it just takes time to figure it out. and conversation doesn't like time. it likes stage time, as in: how long can you pause before somebody coughs, opens a candy wrapper, takes a cell phone call? when does it become drama and when does it become real-life confusion, ambivalence, true indecision? situational ethics disturbs me. but this disturbs me more: when is honesty the best policy, and when is it pure selfishness? when someone gets hurt, or perceives hurt? and how can anyone say: that's not what i meant, not what i meant at all? ask t.s. eliot... and the REM song: "you can't get there from here" but when you have arrived at someplace you never thought you were going, how do you get back without covering the same old tired, painful ground? and making it worse? i know. ambiguous beyond belief. and not much fun. well, as said above, rewriting is the key to making it right, not in the 15 minute rule. so enough of critical doubts. ---------------------------------------------------- long time since last post and, as of this particular point, i have been reading for three days solid and still have 268 to catch up on. the last two months are so packed with material it takes me hours just to get through a dozen. so don't expect more drivel from me for a while. and yes, ribena is a most refreshing beverage. but i get a very close kick from welch's grape juice as well. and it's nearly of the same color in tooth stain. ----------------------------------------------------- i have succeeded in interesting an old girlfriend in this cult of ours and promised her a 80-minute CD comp-burn. if honey, or any of you other sweet fiends, recalls post/s regarding this config of tunes and sequence, i'd appreciate the url-cum-link as i'm such a lazy sod/busy mo-fo i don't feel like doing the work/haven't got a second to do so m'self. be seeing you in my "in-box"... +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Who does she think she is? Silly Moo.
by Sally_Moore.M&G＠mandg.co.uk 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

Hello everybody, This is a dirty job but someones got to do it. I *know* there is no reason why it should be me so don't tell me off. The next London picnic is going to be on Primrose Hill and I don't think we should talk about it anymore. If people can make it from Scotland and Greece I reckon us South East Londoners can probably manage the journey. I saw that Peacock Johnson fella last night, I haven't got much to say about that though. It was a bit silly, a bit messy but quite funny. He said lots of rude words and as many of you know (only too well) I am a big fan of using rude words.

Sinister: Apples are wonderful creations
by Histrianic＠aol.com 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

Apples are really good. I just realized this fact after 15 years and some months of living. Apples are the equivalent of Belle and Sebastian in the fruit catergory. Not a good analogy, I know, but I tried. Speaking of Belle and Sebastian, I just recently realized how good they actually are. I have been listening to Belle and Sebastian for quite a while now, but it never occured to me how brilliant their music really is. My roommate is getting slightly annoyed by the fact that Belle and Sebastian has been playing non-stop from my speakers for two weeks in a row. But I figure she'll eventually give in and admit to the fact that she actually likes them, too. I am in a happy mood today, due to the fact that I didn't have to go to lacrosse practice today. I went to the infirmary complaining of fatigue, came back to my dorm, and listened to Belle and Sebastian and ate an apple. Dramat Board applications are in, my interview is done, all that is left is... waiting. Incidentally, in my last post, I asked if anyone had seen the movie Willow (yes, the one with the sorcerers and all the magical stuff in it). I had heard horror stories about how all of the Dramat board (which currently consists of 13 members) sits around you in a semi-circle and asks you one question each. Apparently, there were always questions referring to the movie Willow for some reason, and that is why I was wondering if anyone had seen the movie. And yes, they are quite elitist, and yes, they are quite arrogant, but oh, they're a group of such amazing and fun people! (now I sound like a little girl who's never been around fun people before...) Of course, they are also the laziest and the most dysfuntional organization there is, so there is no hope of hearing of the results before the end of the school year... I found out that there is another person at my school who likes Belle and Sebastian. I am quite happy! Of course, I don't even know who this kid is, I just know that his name is Will Levin and that he's got a weird sense of humor. And of course, he must have great taste in music... I think I shall go to lunch now. Ta ta for now.

They'll be fab! I saw them in Nottingham a few years back (can't believe it was that long ago - scary!). I went with my brother who was a massive sceptic. He thought they were throwaway easy listening...he compared them to Mike Flowers Pop (whatever happened to that guy?) the bastard! But even he was won over. It was shame the crowd weren't into it as much as they should've been but that was prolly because they played loads of songs that no-one knew off TBWTAS. They were quiet yeh, but really mesmerising. It was just so weird seeing my greatest idols a few metres from me and then at a disco afterwards. I must admit that I spent most of the night staring longingly into the eyes of Isobel that night...she was wearing a lovely dress and looked sublime:). But to cut a long story short; it was a heartwarming experience that made me feel even more a part of the B&S lovely world. It didn't matter about their tuning up or the quality of Steves choppy guitar, it was the sense of intamacy and love of music that made it special. Hope this makes sense and is at least a little bit relevent!

Sinister: B&S support Napalm Death
by Nigel R. Townshend 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

Me writing to Sinister is a bit like the number 52 bus, none for ages than lots at once. Although i have an excuse this time, for i have been on me hoildays, Yay! I went to Galsgow looking for members of Belle and Sebastian but all i found was a WWF shop and a cafe called the 13th note or blue note, but they served the nicest chips i have ever tasted, they were cooked in spicies so nice on the basis of that bowl of chips i am seriously considering moving to Galsgow. I also did some sinister spotting in Stirling and i sucseeded me thinks, a group of foppish types were sitting next to the lake or loch as the crazy Scots call them, at stirling uni. I nearly went over to say hello but they're were far too many rabbits and i had bongo drums to play in the garage, did anyone in stirling go and see lapdog? what did you think to the support band the Baker St happy gang? So that was cool. Nottingham, that's a strange place, the buses are mad instead of giving the driver some money and getting change you have to put the excat change in a machine which wieghs your money, i hate them, how do the folk of Nottingham manage? i never have the excat change Grrr.. although i did see Less than jake who were amazing they had fire breathing and everything although i failed to spot any sinister people, i didn't even see Ken the most famous man in Nottingham. i keep heraing roumours that Belle and Seb are to tour, but my brother saw them in Manchetser three years ago and they were shite live, i think if i saw them i would be so dissapointed as they have so much to live up too and i don't think they could ever live up to my expectations, unlike Napalm Death, who i had the pleasure/misfortune of seeing the other night, they were even funnier than Spinal Tap, i'm seem to be going on forever so i'll stop and if you got this far in reading my post ta muchly. ta ra love Nigel Love ------------------------------------------- Post Scriptum: Who's ya daddy ? http://www.lundwood.u-net.com/bettysclinic.htm www.wwf.com www.iowrestling.com daddy knows best http://www.sufc.co.uk/ http://www.htfc-world.com/ http://uk.geocities.com/djlittleboylost/home.html +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: A spot in a pore
by Kenneth P Y Chu 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

Hello. I escaped death a couple of days ago, cos the fan at the back of my computer had stopped turning to I wedged my guitar's whammy bar into it (as you do..) and it touched the main electrical supply bit and boy it whammied alright! Got a little shock but the electricity cut-off device thingie saved my life, which is nice. Chris Perriman talked about forming a B&S tribute band, which is funny cos I had a similar idea recently too, except I was actually thinking all ~1400 people altogether.. in a big orchestra/band thingie. Imagine what a few hundred pairs of guitar playing hands can do? Step over Jimi Hendrix! Same for other instruments.. those who don't play instruments can do hand clapping, and a big gospel harmony thing with hundreds of people.. Hmm it might work. Someone mentioned Tindersticks, they always remind me of a rather nice Kebab/Curry place in Nottingham which is also called Tindersticks. We should have the london picnic in the middle of Picadilly Circus, to show to the whole world (well all the tourists) our list's solidarity, and it's close to a DDR machine, pub and a bowling alley, sorted! We can also then throw sticks and maybe Tindersticks at those mime people who just stand still and not move, cos they're stealing businesses away from juggling people. Grr. ..Although a boat does sound tempting, is mr carsmile paying? Best go before you all throw sticks at me. Picnics and Red Bull Ken .. under the cows in concrete mk-town (if you don't like crap cities that deserve a mocking, don't come a-knocking) ======================================================================== Before I found out that the sickness there ahead of me Went beyond the bedsit infamy of the decade gone before - Belle & Sebastian +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: everything's amusing at 4am...
by Swine1999＠aol.com 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

hipsters, so (starting a post w/ "so" should be a indirect call to your finger to hit the delete button as what will follow is possibly a long winded personal narrative invovling hearing b&s in a supermarket or studying for final exams.) i'm rather bored as of around 4am sitting in my isolation booth, and i'm attempting to catch up on some sinister mail. i enjoy much of it though i'm confused by a few things. firstly, why is everyone posting about this "pta" meeting they all went to. i mean, it sounds like you all had a good time, and i'm suprised they'd let bands play there, considering godspeedyoublackemperor et. all would probably drown out talks of the bakesale and christmas play, but i can't believe so many sinister kids went. i hadn't any idea you were all so interested in grade school. secondly, how do you all have picnics where you live? i haven't heard of any picnics around here, but then i live on the east coast of the us where people don't leave their houses. i'm just curious about your picnics because it seems like you all have a good time, but how does this happen in europe? are you not afraid of the witches and trolls that populate your island? and doesn't it rain all the time anyway? and didn't mel gibson kill most of your friends in one film or another? ah. but besides that i'm rather amused by your indie rock anthropotic rantings. especially listdomlisa who claims now to have a boyfriend. he must be one sexy american to be dating her, cause she is damn sexy herself. he probably just drives a really cool car though. that's usually how it works. my b&s moment for the week is the continual play of the legal man single, during which i sing the lyrics of legal man through the remaining songs. very loudly and not to the amusement of others. love, pete. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Sugar World
by P F 20 Apr '01

20 Apr '01

My editor is a fan of pop - I mean, of the pop charts. The Hit Parade, the top five. He makes some degree of common cause with those who proclaim in public that we are living through - hold on to your trilbies - a Golden Age Of Pop. I'll let that last clause sink in a while. Anyway, I occasionally ask him about his love of contemporary pop, and sensibly he insists, - I don't like *all* of it. It's *some* of it that's good. Destiny's Child. The Sugababes. - Who? - The Sugababes. You'd like them. You've probably heard them. If you worked in a place where the radio played without ceasing, you'd hear them. You'll like them. It's just great pop music. Tonight I saw Top of the Pops. Really! A trio appeared, singing to a record I'd heard before on the radio. I figured that it might be Destiny's Child. At last, a glimpse of the vaunted Destiny's Child. My goodness, I've finally seen Destiny's Child. No. It was the Sugababes themselves. They were - I don't know, I don't know if I can find the choice word. Can you? We could spread many words, like muck, but they might not hit home, not convey what this trio really are, how their record really sounds. Still, I've heard and seen them now. Now we know what we're talking. There are no hiding places. Enough. Silence is silver. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
