Sinister: B&S play also in Spain
by Jordi Trenzano 26 Apr '01

26 Apr '01

Hello, kiddies !!! According to the press conference of the spanish Benicassim festival, it seems that B&S will play there. The festival itŽs taken place on Benicassim, close to Valencia, and will be taking place on august 3-5. As much as I remember, the rest of the bill is: Pulp, Fatboy Slim, Ash, The Flaming Lips, Basement Jaxx, Low, The Magnetic Fields, Goldfrapp....... If thatŽs true, then IŽm terribly happy, but mind you, that means that the bandŽs negative thinking about playing festivals is over. And Honey is saying on the IRC the following: new single coming in June, Jonathan and David, backed with Take Your Carriage Clock and The Loneliness of the Middle Distance Runner on 7", 12", CD. Take care all !!!

Sinister: 10 Cabbage Place
by Hewitt, Stephen 26 Apr '01

26 Apr '01

Hello babies Lucy: HYPERACTIVE EXCITED BABBLE *** carsmile gives lucy a valium and for those of you who were wondering, Lucy got nominated as picnic secretary because she made the mistake of asking. Still, it'll look good on her cv :) Robin: How about Marmite, or Fishpaste? I've just recently rediscovered the joys of fishpaste, specifically tesco value salmon paste (17p a jar!!), which despite the name has more mackerel in than salmon, bludy GRATE though Chris Johnson: Let us join now and think of all those unsuspecting fans who are calmly sitting around not realising that these gigs are happening. Is it fair for us to snatch all that is available YES, stuff 'em, we do, after all, rule the school That Peacock Johnson review in full: http://www.guardian.co.uk/Archive/Article/0,4273,4175313,00.html postmodern tomfoolery MY ARSE Jen: because I made a revision planner and exam table for the next 7 weeks, all in different colours, with all my topics planned out and little notes with study tips and stuff ah, the revision planner, if only i'd spent as much time revising as i did making charts... Somebody talked about the world being full of short people, however if you'd have been at Camber Sands you would have seen hundreds of ppl who made Stu Gardiner look like Ronnie Corbett, it was like land of the giants. I am hoping to go to one of the glasgow gigs, if they still have tickets tomorrow (ie payday), although i'll be royally pished off if i spend all that money and then they play Oxford, although i haven't been to glasgow for far too long and it needs another one of my visits i'm sure :) I'll see picnic ppl next saturday then :) xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: A couple of things
by lulou 26 Apr '01

26 Apr '01

Hi I notice that The List today has B&S playing The Queen's Hall, Edinburgh rather than the much more famous Queen's Hall, Dunoon, on the 9th of June. I wonder what other crazy mad-cap mixed up capers will ensue? The Barrowland Ancient Burial Site on the Suffolk Downs? I recently tried to find The Barrowlands by car and drove around for ages before I twigged that it was the bingo hall hoards of children were making for (I won't mention the concert - far too embarrassing). One goood thing about it is that in the ladies toilet, a wee wumman directs you to the correct cubicle. You stand in the queue and when it is your turn, she points at an empty cubicle "There you go, hen." I hovered like a goalkeeper, not knowing which way to leap. There could be more than one vacated at the same time. Somehow I felt proud as I made for the right one - I hadn't held things up by hesitating, or slipping on the floor, and I didn't have to ask her to repeat herself. Second thing, there is a slight problem with one of the email addresses on the list. Does anyone know selfhealer(a)gmx.net? This email address is bouncing mails from sinister, which means that when you post to sinister, you get a bounce message and it may appear that your message hasn't gone through. It will have. There should be no need to repost. Check the archive web page (give it an hour or so to get there). If there are any problems, mail me! Also, could selfhealer mail honey(a)missprint.org?

Sinister: ''When you kill people, they die"- Some guy in an action film
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 26 Apr '01

26 Apr '01

Hewwo, Wow, B&S are gigging, yay! And I'm going too! On the friday the 15th at glasgow barrowlands. With the lovely Ian Hatcher! But isn't the barrowlands really rough? I saw The Big Leaves (and catatonia) there, and it was really ruff. They checked me for knives. I was only 13 and they checked me for knives. And I got my bum pinched too. So are any sinister types going that night? My standard grades are really soon too, which is frightening. But also really fun, because I made a revision planner and exam table for the next 7 weeks, all in different colours, with all my topics planned out and little notes with study tips and stuff like "Now you can go and drink vast quantities of Ribena" for each end of week landmark. And it's so grate. And I made a key at the bottom for colours, and I used a ruler and everything. Sorry, I'm quite sad, but it's my first proper exams ever and it's so exciting. And scary too, because I need to do a lot better than I did in my prelims. Is it silly to want to be a dentist? I wanted to be a doctor, but I would have to stay on in school for longer, and I don't much like school, for some reason. I got pulled up in school yesterday, because apparently my uniform is 'distasteful'. No it's not. It was the black and white stripey knee high socks, which are not allowed. They should have told us that. And I'm not allowed to wear my denim jacket either, which is rubbish, because my other light jacket got wrecked by a hard kid, and also it has lots of cool badges on it. But I played it really thick, and kept saying stuff like "Is it because it's not allowed?" and "Oh, right, should I not wear it then". And it took her ages to give me into trouble, because I kept getting her to repeat stuff. Ra. I'll just do something else to annoy her that she can't complain about, like make my skirt whoreishly short (not that it is now), or wear no bra. I've got a new badge. It says "i'm going to be a dad". The blonde has a similar one saying "mum to be". A hark back to the days when I had short hair and they called us Barbie and Ken. I can't wait to be on study leave, because you can hang about the school pretending to use the library, and walk out whenever you feel like and wear no uniform. The power would go to my head. Isn't Kevin Carlyon such a hero for putting a spell on loch ness to stop nessie from being DNA sampled? It was really cool. Even if it doesn't work (which it will, so there), he's managed to completely hack off the research team by getting in their way. I love him. Ian Brown is not good, and I won't be told otherwise. Hugs, Jen Ps. Claps for listmummy linda (or should it be list daddy, because of the whole gender confusal thing), cause I feel like it. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Don't touch my bumbalarey.
by David Howie 26 Apr '01

26 Apr '01

1. Lucy Alder alleged that were: all just gagging to dig out of the cupboard (yay!) I am unsure why this should make someone so happy. 2. Mr Farley opined: [T]he very worst kind of records are those you don't even notice cos they're so utterly inconsequential. I reckon Ill have to take issue with that comment. Surely the scale should be drawn on a scale from Terrible to Great and thus Apathy-inducing would be the centre pointing, and therefore not the worst type of song. 3. Nothing to report this week. I too went to the Peacock book-launch thingymajig and (contrary to popular opinion [or, rather, the opinion of one sinisterine] we received free bottles of Budweiser. I have to agree with P F: Rubbish! 4. I should have some reporting soon (i.e. the lyrics to both Take Your Carriage Clock and Shove It & Big John Shaft). That is, if there is any demand. :) 5. Would anyone like any legal advice? That is, those people who live in Scotland and are having any problems regarding Criminal, Family, Contract, or Constitutional law. Im also a dab hand at the dismal science. I believe it was Malthus who earned that monicker for Economics, wasnt it? Yeh, him and David Ricardo. P F? Anyone? Nick (Dastoor)? Well, I have nothing much to say of any consequence, however if anyone wants to talk or ask me anything I will be more than happy to talk. 6. Shawn & Emily: The guy from the television station hasnt got back to me, but if I get any news I will let you know. Sorry, for not replying quicker my life has been a little hectic lately (hence, my absence from Sinister. 7. P F: What magazine, journal etc. do you work for? Thank you, Sinister cub reporter: David Howie. PS I was thinking Honey (or list mummy) that since you dont have a badge to give me, you could give me a nice @missprint.org e-mail address. Perhaps, sinister.reporter(a)missprint.org? PPS Oh yeh, and I got my tickets for B&S yesterday the 15th and 16th. Anyone want to meet the Sinister junior reporter?

Sinister: London Picnic
by Lucy Alder 26 Apr '01

26 Apr '01

How did I manage to get nominated as the Picnic Secretary then? Eh? I don't know. Well, I bet you're all just gagging to dig your tartan blankets, plastic cutlery and frisbees out of the cupboard, so without further ado, here are the details you need to know if you're coming to the first picnic of the season (yay!) Date: Saturday, 5th May Time: 2pm Meeting Point: outside the Odeon Cinema on Parkway, just round the corner from Camden Town. Like all Odeon Cinemas, it has GREAT BIG WRITING on the outside telling you it's an ODEON so you shouldn't miss it unless you're suffering from life-threatening myopia. Moving on to: the tippety top of Primrose Hill, via the extremely handy off licence on Parkway (Oddbins? Threshers? Can't remember, but they'll uncork your wine for you if you smile sweetly) If it rains, which is a distinct possibility: The Spread Eagle pub, again on Parkway. So, bring lots of bouze and some kind of foodstuff with which to line your stomach and (hopefully) prevent pukery. You don't want to be mistaken for a Camden tramp, do you? If you're thinking of coming on your own, don't be shy! By all means email me (off list, natch) if you'd like me to say "Please, please, please come and don't worry that nobody knows you because we'll be nice and look after you and nobody knew me at my first picnic until I got very pissed and started waving a yellow stuffed bunny rabbit in everyone's faces and generally being silly). Also, if you get lost on the day, you can call my mobile - 07799 761 141. No heavy breathers, please. OK, I think that's it. Lucy x ps. Who was talking about the chips in the 13th Note?

Sinister: New York, apologies, et cetera
by Ian Nicolson 26 Apr '01

26 Apr '01

Hello again Sorry, two posts in two days and all that, but I think it was maybe my fault that some New Yorkers got their hopes up about Belle and Sebastian playing over there, only for those hopes to be cruelly crushed, like a hedgehog under the wheels of a cadillac. So to anyone who was disappointed, SORRY! You can all throw rotten vegetables at me the next time you're in Edinburgh. I was just trying to make a joke based on their being a big, fancy fuck off place in New York called the Carnegie Hall and their also being one (not so big, fancy or fuck off) in a little inbred, sheep-shaggy town that no-one with any sense would want to go to in Scotland called Dunfermline. Which is where our favourites are playing. But it obviously didn't work, cause I'm useless and everything, and I only ended up confusing people. So again, I apologise. And now I've gone and offended all the Dunfermile Sinister children (are there any?!), so I'd better shut up.
