Sinister: drinks and vestments
by s.arnot＠talk21.com 15 Apr '01

15 Apr '01

hiya oh! i'm a bag of nerves as this is my first ever post. i have no sensible reason to feel nervous, however, as i am a genius inventor. Yesterday, i invented a new drink, which i advise all fans of it's constituent ingredients to try. however, i will first go through the thought process involved. this is a process that i believe all inventors should use. and is in two simple points. 1. think of your favourite things 2. combine them anyways, whilst pouring ribena into a glass to the desired undiluted level yesterday, i remembered that in an act of extravagance i had bought a bottle of irn-bru from tescos. then it struck me. why not combine them?! after a wee bit of experimentation i found that by slightly increasing the normal proportion of ribena, then filling the glass with irn-bru, i had made a drink fit for gods, and therefore certainly the nice people on the sinister mailing list. also, i was wondering if anyone can define the difference between a shirt and a blouse, as my dad seems to think my favourite shirt is a blouse (a building society blouse, even). thirdly, if there are any sinister spotters in ipswich, keep an eye out for a tall skinny boy with a kind of white-boy afro, probably wearing some nice flares, and being shouted at by small children in white tracksuits. actually, if there is anyone on sinister in ipswich, or nearby, it would be nice to speak to you. byebye, 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: record stores in edinburough
by Andreas Ottosson 15 Apr '01

15 Apr '01

First time post, yadda yadda. Don't shoot me for using you, I don't mean any harm. Now, I was hoping that maybe some nice sinisterees could give me some nice addresses to some nice Edinburoughish (now there's a word for you) record stores, I'm heading there this summer. The smaller the better, really. I suppose you know best anyway. Now I'll be quiet. ------------------------------------------------------------ Kent Mail rockar! http://www.kent.nu ------------------------------------------------------------ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: An Easter Wasting
by Kenneth P Y Chu 15 Apr '01

15 Apr '01

Hello, Easter on a Wrister with a Mister Fister! Looking for Easter Eggs Sister near Bicester with a bister blister! Looking for a Sinister Gig God knows what that means. :) A week on and I can still almost smell ATP (and yes that was a metaphorical comment rather than a statement about my hygene), but really have to get back into a working pattern.. failing so far, and probably failing my final exams in a month too. I am a very happy boy today, because I woke up and I watched channel 4, and suddenly I saw "Terrorvision live, next", and I danced for a bit, and then Terrorvision actually was on telly, I danced a lot, even tho they play one of the songs that wasn't very good. If you are about to make a comment about none of their songs being very good, I shall be pre-emptively telling you to smell yer maw now. :) So, that's made my day.

Sinister: Mersey // Killing
by P F 15 Apr '01

15 Apr '01

It's a shame about Roy Walker. Thanks to Pedro for sending an advert to the list. I've always thought those 'list rules' were just *silly*. I'm especially grateful to Pedro for telling us about the collection of songs by bands who played at ATP, because, as you may know, I am very keen on those bands, and spend large parts of each day wishing that I had a compact disc containing tracks by them. The kind of thing I would like to have would be - just for instance - a self-indulgent 14-minute multi-generic ramble by The Tortoises; a seemingly endless load of bleeping toss by Alultechre; a seemingly unending load of tripe by Bored of Weybridge. If you can fix us up with some of that gear, Pedro me old china, we'll be made up, catch my drift? Maria Sierra's name reminds me, come to think of it, of that Yankee beer thing called Sierra Nevada or something. And that's a *good* thing, la. Youn foxed us all again. We just don't know where she's coming from next. In that respect she is much like Remi Moses. She said that the Dastoor's appearances on sinister felt significant - and I agree. I miss him too. Jenowl said that ATP sounded good. No, no, la - it *was* good, but it didn't *sound* good. It sounded atrocious. Maria S also said that elenita99 was a good cooker. I disagree. I think she's more of an old boiler. 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. I am reminding myself, in writing this, or the other day when Sally la M held surely the best sinister party in months. I have got to tell you about the thrills that la M laid on, along with her pals. One or two geezers found her pals a thrill, too, but that's another matter. No, the bash itself was something to behold - it was time for beer, Frazzles, red wine, Martini and ginger, and talk of the real meaning of Black Box. It was the best discusion of Black Box EVER. I really mean that - it was MUCH better than the discussions of Black Box that Reynolds and Stubbs used to have on Friday afternoons in summer 1989, when they would lounge around saying 'god, Black Box are great, aren't they?'. I mean it - to everyone that participated in this Black Box discussion, thank you. You rock - I mean, you dance. Unknown folks also derived known pleasures from discussing things that Llaura Lll had said. I think that LlllLlll would be amazed if she knew how folks in England discuss her. Or would she? Her remark about density and light started a whole scientific debate. I listened, and understood nary a word. That's because I have CLEVER friends, see. Some gal from North London acted as DJ with unusual good taste, and cried into her beer, metaphorically, when thinking about some wee bairn from somewhere up North. I don't know. Mick Jagger took notes, hoping to write another 'Crying In Your Daquiri' song sometime soon. As the night wore into morning, it once again turned out that Lloyd Cole was incredibly brilliant, and surely the most underrated artist of the last 20 years. The result was surprising at first, but we got used to it, and realized that it was accurate. Sophie in Central Park - apart from being a song that Paul Simon never quite wrote, and more's the pity - said that 'Brown-Eyed Girl' was camp. Did she mean 'summer camp'? She said that the MFs made her cry, I think; unless I am misquoting her. I wonder why? Please tell. Summer songs? Let's see - 'The Power' by Snap. That is a very, very bad Summer song. Lloyd Cole's 'Don't Look Back', on the other hand, is a very, very, very great Easter song. With that song in mind, let me wish you all a happy Easter. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!

Did you remember "I Know Where the Summer Goes" and "Who Loves the Sun?"

Sinister: summery songs
by Spiticuss＠aol.com 14 Apr '01

14 Apr '01

hello everyone I've spent the day walking around the park enjoying New Yorks crazy beautiful weather. I was basically lying around all day, every once in a while getting up and relocating myself to a different warm grassy spot or the slanted roof of the carousel, or a different shady coiled branch of a tree to curl up in . The entire time I was just in the mood for singing every song i know about summer or that reminded me of summer. Many were just camp songs (rainbow connection, the general, sugar mountain, brown eyed girl, etc) and then songs that are about or even just mention the summer: summer wasting, tea for the tillerman, here comes the sun [which I think is more of a winter song really], . Oh and pretty much every magnetic fields song, which i soon gave up on, because they make me sad. Well, anyways, I found myself repeating after a while, so if anyone can think of good songs about summer that have slipped my mind, to sing while sitting in a tree in a secluded section of Central Park, could you please remind me? thanks have a lovely weekend -sophie +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I Know Ellman Crasnow Would Approve
by P F 14 Apr '01

14 Apr '01

Romance is over. Shocks are apparently still on. Will their paths *ever* cross again, anywhere in the *world*? Slot Jockey retain title by default as reported earlier. Other results now in. In a secret ballot in London's important London Bridge area, some geezer from Chelmsford was voted 'Hero of the Festival'. It was secret because most of the people at the festival didn't participate, because it was a secret. So I wouldn't set too much store by the result. In a pub in sleepy Rye it was revealed that Heart's 'Magic Man' was the original inspiration for chickfactor. No, not the song, dummy - what do you think this is, The Belle and Sebastian Mailing List? Some BOYS (yawn) watched some FOOTBALL GAMES or something (zzz). Bo-ring! Ross MacManus Aware for Secret Drinker of the Festival went to longtime Jim Taylor for smuggling in a different drink each set, hidden in his comedy David James Gloves (TM). One night it was Jack Daniels, then on came the red wine, then orange juice, then Aztec Camera. Camera of the weekend was the pinefox's for double-exposing 20 shots and hence putting Alasdair Cook on top of the top of the bar or something, probably, whatever, who knows, when they come out, whenever that is. Ruralism of the weekend was Hopkins' 'There've been an accident *up countree*'. It reminded me that his definition of rural is short and sweet, as he has virtually announced somewhere or other. Joke of the weekend was a late entrant, and involved Jim('my') White saying that pool was not really his game. It's a good 'un, innit? You have to admit it. Meanwhile, thrills on the various stages were at fever pitch. Things got off to a flyer with I Can't Believe It's Not Sun Ra, La, and moved on to Porpoise's five-hour set of oceanic flipper noises. Only DaMo was unimpressed. On the second stage Mike Ladd performed a moving reminiscence of his childhood in Wales, to the sound of a lonely pendulum. The pace picked up as the reformed Run-DMC took the stage. Can I just say at this point: Run-DMC, you rock 'da' house!! On Saturday Tony Hares' disappointing set was ended abruptly by an incident involving a television aerial and half a bottle of Blue Nun. Nabisco showed us that the trumpet was the future of disco biscuits. (When I was growing up, 'biscuit' meant a gothic girl. Whatever happened to that usage?) Porkbarrel bid for the Guinness Book of Records by playing one song for the longest extended period of time, roughly 90 minutes, with occasional dramatic pauses, without removing headwear. Drama. The Eternals were fined for playing a mere hour. Derek Bentley appeared in the form of a cardboard cut-out, demanding justice for victims of Elvis Costello lyrics. The MacManus winner (as mentioned above) intervened forcefully, true to a recent history of activism, and got the bar closed early. TCP was cancelled. Infections spread, infectiously. Back in the Queen the question must be asked: Is Vic There? Tim Hopkins was at it again, bidding for a place in the Guinness Book of Guinness, and listening to Records. Bored Of Woking rounded off the night by playing Style Council records backwards. It's not easily done. CAMpbell, for one, was impressed, and soon took a knock. She may be out for the rest of the festival season. On Sunday the bells had barely ceased, and romance had only just been declared dead, when Testcard entered the fray. Stobes strobed the room. People were so affected by the strobe lighting they couldn't find the signs telling them that they should be careful of the strobe lighting. It didn't matter too much, though, as its effects were dissipated by a numbing, unlistenable sonic dirge. Phew! Ko-E Akiburo plugged in for the first time in this listener's experience since that rehearsal in The Gadget Rooms in Plymouth, when they played that 15-minute version of 'She's In Clouds'. Listening to the three chords pummelling away for hour after hour was like coming home. Ivan Salcedo was spotted smiling with fond memories of Endless Drone. When Ko-E sang 'Rocket #149 has just taken off for Venus', one could almost see the rocket taking off for Venus. It was as though that 'Venus-Rocket' had been conjured up in our imaginations with the sheer power of words - and music! For an encore Ko-E were replaced by Dave and the Moonbeams, rushed in from the Good Companions (Old Costessey), with covers of old Ramones and Blondie numbers. Nice one, Dave! And Sheila's still looking good on keyboards! Hey, mate - if you're reading this - you owe me a pint!! The weekend's major disappointment came from Lloyd and the Verlaines, who made sure their instruments were in tune and kept playing notes in the 'relevant' 'scales' on their guitars. In many ways they totally misjudged the whole ethos of the event. They had reportedly reformed ten years previously in order to start practising for this show, and it showed. At one point Lloyd declared 'We like to play cool virtuoso intertwining lead guitar parts that seem to leave the air smouldering so much more than we like to make a barrage of tedious, uninspired, witless and irritating Emperor's-New-Clothes noise'. That did it for me. The irony was lost on me, and I left. In many ways football was the loser. Ron? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: So i'm drinking irn bru and i'm thinking of you,
by Primitivepainter＠aol.com 13 Apr '01

13 Apr '01

you've got the sunshine in your eyes... Hello everybody,oh what a day i've had,a 22 hour shift no less, oh yes even primitive painters have to work for a living! Things were ok, until my mini-disc player ran out of juice, was listening to the lovely firestation towers compilation ( thanks to paul for that )before that i was putting the latest entry for the lovely laura llews tape competition through its paces, a joint entry no less, myself and the good mr field combined to create a cd that even i have to admit is a little bit special! its going to be entitled "when the painter met the fox" so i've been taking it easy,i slept and ate,and listened to some music,today it was the lovely electrelane,very nice, a pinch of stereolab and a touch of broadcast,but a sound that is there own. i've heard allot of talk about vodka and redbull and ribena, and i don't even want to get into the tiger milk concoction that made an appearance at bowlie,but my thinking is, surely if this list adopts a beverage it would have to be irn bru...it has magical qualities ,its refreshing and fruity,rumoured to be a cure for hangovers! what more could you want from a drink! and it is after all made from girders! well thats enough...if i've not made sense...blame it on the bru... toodle pips... primitive painter. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: nice sinisterians
by Maria Sierra 13 Apr '01

13 Apr '01

How great are Belle & Sebastian and Sinister! Im really happy and proud to be a sinisterian (vegan too!) Thank to the list I have know such a nice people and I have made very good friends. Its not fair that some of them live so far away from me... but distance doesnt matter if there is internet! Charles lives in Argentina but I had the chance to meet him at the Gentle Waves concerts last year. He is so kind! He e mails me, phones me and he send me lovely presents and music stuff and so Jordi does too. Fortunately he lives closer to me and I can see him many times. He is always trying to make me happy and inviting me to go to Barcelona. Im his spoiled girl! I went last weekend to a Clientele concert and got to have their album in vinil signed by the lads just for me! Lovely! My best concerts ever have been the Hefner ones because of Elenita. She is so funny! I hope Darren will marry her, she is a wonderful multilingual girl and a very good cooker! Monsieur dictionnaire Meysonnet is absolutely nice too. He has to be sick and tired of my complains and questions about Frances way of living. He has helped me to survive in his country. I was surprised... I was happy twice... when I got Sally and David Moores presents and the Canver Sands postcard that makes me dream about the ATP. I hope Ill be able to go one day and thank him in person. ¡Gracias por todo! Peter Miller and Steve Trousers are quite nice as well and both them wear lovely Camper shoes which I love! Thank you very much to everybody! Keep being sinister!

Sinister: Good ol' Charlie Brown
by Histrianic＠aol.com 13 Apr '01

13 Apr '01

I feel like Charlie Brown today. All of his fickleness and insecurities have found their nestlings in my being. The cause for this sudden change? Dramat. Dramat is a drama club at my school. There are ten people on the Dramat board. I, even though I am just a lowly prep (exeter slang for "freshman"), dared apply to be on board, and the interviews are on Monday. I have never wanted anything more than to be on the board for next year. I hate having to wait. What the hell am I gonna wear? Should I be smart-ass or serious? Should I sing Belle and Sebastian at the interview? (that would be intersting...) Incidentally, has anyone seen the movie Willow? Wish me luck...
