Sinister: i want to be right about you
by adevens＠antioch-college.edu 14 May '01

hey all, its been forever since my last post and there is very very little B&S content in this one, just a warning before i start ;-) content: what ever happened with the san francisco picnic? i would be willing to organize it although i have absolutely no idea what that entails and would prob be over my head. life: i've decided to stay in san francisco for a bit longer then my original 4 months (which are up) and go to art school for awhile. it all works out so my college in ohio gets all the credits in the end and i get to stay in sf for 8 more months ;-) atm, however, i'm in seattle at my parents house very very bored. i wish the scene here had anything for someone under 21. saw chick corea live on thursday which was utterly amazing, live jazz is so much better then recorded jazz could ever be. arik +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Yooooooooou,yes you ! or anyone whos listening. Well I've had a great time lately. Infact in a "Craig David" styleee..... I walked out of my job on the monday ... wondered what to do on tuesday ... cruised around job centres on the wednesday.. and found a job building diggers on the thursday.. Friday was beautiful but empty. Somewhere inbetween I managed to get lovely lady friend Em' into B and S, plan a picnic in Riverside park (possably sinister) , buy B and S tickets for one of the Birmingham gigs then spend today playing tennis and looking at horses . For those interested our picnic has no date as yet so if you fancy a sinister(ish) musical(ish) piss up in Leicester then give me an Email. Working again tomorrow, James +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I know you're 45, but you look 23
by P F 13 May '01

13 May '01

This is no time for deep breaths. Lou Reed didn't say that. 96 will find this hard to believe, but I am listening to 'Part Company'. Really. 96 found it hard to believe that we conceded that penalty to Switzerland (converted). 96, for that matter, probably found strange the way that the ball 'bobbled' as McAllister (old version) headed up to it on the way to strike. Enough about 96 already. I mean, soon. There are people who Come Home From Work and, rather than saving their monies, listen to MBV's 'Soon'. That's what I heard. The thing is, people keep banging on about 'Soon' - and I am not sure - honestly, I am not quite sure, I'm only guessing - which track we're talking about. Look, I like 'Soon'. I don't even know for sure which one it is, but I like *all* of Loveless, so I have nothing to lose but my pains. I seem to be listening to 'That Way'. This is a slight disappointment. No, hang on, I hear Elvis & Burt come from somewhere. One day, will I get round to writing something about the magnificence of EC and BB's collaboration? I hope so. If I don't manage it, can someone else fill in? Another thing is that this am I got up and - no, this was *before* I'd got up - I stuck on THE CHARM OF THE HIGHWAY STRIP again. I still don't think I have fully Reported Back (right?) on that LP. Will I ever? I hope so; if only to my Recording Angel. Auctioneer (Another Engineer). Put it this way: naturally I stand by what I said re 'Long Vermont Roads'. But I need to go into more detail. That track - goodness knows, it's *old*, I know that - we have to talk more about that track. I haven't time to talk about David Thomson this time. I note from the Archives that my editor has not been reading the Archives - otherwise why tell me about DT on Cary Grant, when I'd already said it in the Archives? But I have surely to have time to talk about My Editor, and the jig I imagined him dancing at around, um, 4:38 yesterday. To him, let me say, if he's reading this (but why would she be reading this?): congratulations - and also, celebrations. You don't know how happy I was for you. You do? Oh. Listen, I was so happy I went out and saw stars, in the six o'clock sky. I don't mean that literally. I'm writing on a beermat now, Cookie. Does that help? A '"mouse" pad'. There is so much to say. I want to revive the old Edward Gorey debate, for one thing. Did you know he illustrated Old Possum's Cat book? Back in 1982. Am I getting off the beaten cat here? I mean, let's get down to copper cats, I mean, brass tacks. There was a birthday yesterday - yes, someone has been something Since Yesterday - and it was barely registered on The B&S Mailing List. I can allude to it, gesturing at the limits of the unrepresentable. But we know what I mean. Don't we? He went to an Indian, and sent me smoke signals. I know his public code. But there is so much to say. I found the ilovelarrythefrog(a)yahoo.com address so absurd that I must mail it. I did, and received a reply! I don't know, these frogs. They don't like it up 'em. They don't like the meat. They don't like our sausages. I must talk more with, or about, M I Winship. He's a bright character, and the *only* one to talk about the storm the other night. I mean, talk about Thunder & Lightning - and he did. I woke up and thought, this is the loudest sound. I have not said as much as I would have liked to. Some people talked about 'mediocrity', and generalized too much. I think if I was going to discusss 'mediocrity', I would rather talk to that mysterious bearded character I met at the picnic the other week, who would probably have something stupid to say about emotional machine music. I can say this, I know he's not reading it. Oh. Sorry. I worried when the Care Bear said she was going to buy the Sugababes LP. Note how I say 'the Sugababes LP' as though I know what I'm talking about. Is there such a thing? Do 'LPs' still exist? I don't know. In this instance, I don't really care. I worried, when I'd got myself together, girl, and thought about it. Recommendations. 'The Boy In The Bubble', of course. You'll find it hard to beat 'The Boy In The Bubble'. I have a feeling that my old partner in prime 96 would agree with me, if he knew what I was talking about. If he would read what I wrote. Does he? We don't know. Are we going to find out? Are we going out? Only Ricky Ross knows, and he's not telling. This reminds me, somehow: where is the Soul of Sinister nowadays? He knows I mean him. We used to sing Curtis Mayfield covers in the back of that bus, you know. But this time, somehow, it doesn't seem enough. I saw a man who looked like Charles Laughton the other day. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: ideas are like kids in a playground...
by Rachel Playforth 13 May '01

13 May '01

...and sinister picnic-ers are even more so. in fact, there were some actual kids in a playground who captured the attention of a select group of sinisterettes. nothing dodgy, honest, we were just jealous. where are the climbing frames built to adult proportions? and why can't i go to my local cinema on saturday morning to see toy story 2 unless accompanied by a responsible minor? anyway, i'm a whole week late with my post-picnic post. so i won't live in the past, just say: i love you. yes, you. but not you, you smell. okaaaayyy, so, i found out that despite not having lived up to it for about a year, i still have a reputation for list smut. which is nice. good to know that even through all the post-relationship blips when i think i declared that fireworks and knitting (not at the same time) were better than sex, sinister still had faith that i was a depraved little minx. on that subject, i watched a huge phallus made of sellotape being pulled out of the ground by a big crane on friday night. to be fair, it may have been meant to represent a clock, an ivory tower, or the digestive tract of a huge spider. but that's performance art for you. most of the audience were too stoned to care anyway. either way it was strangely beautiful, and there were fireworks. this all means it must be the brighton festival. we spent a happy day yesterday trying to trip up stiltwalkers. (btw, did you know there is now a brownie badge in circus skills? i mean, what? what use is that to a future citizen?) in the evening i went to see jeanette winterson, who likes her own books quite a lot i think. which is fair enough, because they're not half bad. lots of smut. MEANWHILE... now they know how many indiekids it takes to fill the albert hall... i'm going to go and track down tickets now. my stomach hurts. you know when you fall in love and you feel sick all the time in case it all goes wrong? well, that's how i feel about seeing b&s live. which is good because i was getting a little blase there for a while and thinking that i wasn't as keen any more, and listening to hip hop instead. fool. luv archel xxx *************************************** Rachel Playforth 'She may not be famous, but she's right' - Homer Simpson For the best in new writing on the web, visit www.buzzwords.org.uk Contact us on buzzwords(a)bigfoot.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Deep Breaths
by Alasdair Cook 13 May '01

13 May '01

Certain people seem to be getting very flustered when they start to think of having a picnic in Glasgow. Seeing as we haven't had one in a whole year, I know how you all feel. I'm practically choking on my KFC just thinking about the prospect of all that food, all that alcohol, and all those lovely people. And a B&S gig afterwards! Anyway, rubbish as I am at TAKING CONTROL, I will this time. So what I'm saying is I'll have a stab at organising this multi-continental event. And what I'm also saying is be patient, pweese. Yes, there WILL be a picnic (how could there not?) on the 16th of June, and it'll most probably be in Kelvingrove Park, but there's really no rush, it's still a ways away at the mo. So I'll formulate some kind of half-arsed plan and get back to you all in a while. Is that OK? Hope so. Thank you for your time. Bye for now, lovely folks. Alasdair xx PS I have been asked to remind people once again of the rather nice mailing list which has been set up for people who are going to any of the Scottish gigs. Many questions can be answered here, among them where can I stay?, what shall I do while I'm in Glasgow (except see B&S)? and how on earth can I find a drink at 3am? Nice people are here to help, if you require it. http://uk.clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/tenbiggestwanks _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Just heard Jonathan David
by Danny Farrell 13 May '01

13 May '01

I'd just heard what im pretty sure was Jonathan David on Beat106. They said it was B&S's new single - Jonathan David. It's slightly elcetronic rennaiscance-esque meets legal man. At least thats the B&S tracks its closest too. Im not sure whos singin. I think it's stevie jackson but im really not sure. its too deep for stuart but im not sure its low enough for stevie. Its actually amazing as you would expect from any B&S song really. I'll send lyrics if anyone wants them or hasn't got them or whatever? Im impressed Danny xxxx Sorry for two posts one after another but i just heard it and was like "Awwwww man new B&S, awwww man" :) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The Hymn for the pre B&S picnic (possibly)
by Danny Farrell 13 May '01

13 May '01

*If you're not going to the gigs at the barrowland then you can ignore most of this. Sorry, its not total list abuse i think. Can we please, please, please decide on a meet before the gig at the barras. I think its easier/quicker/whatever to get to the barras from Glasgow Green if we're going to have a londesque picninc but its not that much of a difference from Kelvingrove park. If someone could just take control, pretty please :) Anyone got any pavement suggestions? i heard some Stephen Malkmus stuff and it was pretty amazing and i've heard pavement on the radio and they were excellent but i've no idea what songs i've actually heard. I got a copy of the Paris Black sessions on cassette from a friend. I'd just like to say it was absolutely amazing and everyone should try and get hold of it. Do B&S have any sort of standard set list, i've heard 3 live gigs and the songs were almost totally different although they play slow graffiti and boy with all the time, i think. Does anyone else associate msuic with books? I seem to do it all the time with slow graffiti and "Dorian Gray" and century of fakers and "catcher in the rye"? A sinisterwide or even worldwide phenomena? ponder, ponder :) "He started to woo her in a most peculiar way" Danny xxx _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
