Sinister: "If words could kill I'd spell out your name"
by davie kerr 13 May '01

13 May '01

Hey Ho Ladies, Gentleman and Space Monkeys How in the hell is everyone on this fine day? Please do not feel obliged to send me an email answering this question. I would love to here from you all but there is no presure. No pressure whatsoever. As you all know I very rarely post. And when I do post it is the biggest pile of monkey spunk ever.I never have anything interesting to say and today is no different. Don't you just hate when people come to your flat to get pissed and stoned and in the end you are the only one left awake. What be going on with that? I suppose I always have the musical genius of Scotland's finest to keep me company. Anyways......... Again i am way behind on my correpondence. There must be loads of people on this list with finger cramp. You are all so busy typing mails that it must be dreadfully painful on your chubby digits. I just read Danny's mail about Shed 7 and the Smiths. I have to say that i am a fan of Shed 7. They have so many lovely little numbers that it is hard to resist tapping your toes and clicking your fingers. Rick Witter doesn't have the greatest voice but they do put on a stormin live set. Aye the Smiths thing as well. Probably mentioned this before or one of you rather lovely people have. But the song 'Mark' by Shed 7 sounds sooooo much like the Smiths. Please have a listen and I am sure you will agree. Oh God I hope you do anyway. Well seeing as it is sunday I am off to get pissed, stoned and hopefully sunburned as well. Take Care Davie PS The subject heading are lyricds stolen from the outstandlingly talented Tom McRae. Please have a listen. He is also playing King Tuts on 3 June. Hopefully see you there _________________________________________________________________________ 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: us tour(s) yay ... tickets ...the semester's almost over ...
by j r kananen 13 May '01

13 May '01

speaking of US tours.... It will be an awesome thing if B&S come to the west coast this year. I live here in the smoggy, busy, and all together unhealthy town of Pasadena California, which is just a boulder's throw away from LA (boo) where they'll hopefully play. I don't mean to brag, but ... *ahem* I got Radiohead tickets!!!!! yay Sorry to all those listees who have to stand out in what looks like rain tomorrow for tickets. I'm just really excited because not only is Radiohead my fav. band (B&S come in a very close second ^__^) but last year I was foiled in my attempt at tickets by 2 people attempting to get tickets to see the Dixie Chicks. Yes that's right, I stood in line all night, and then at the last moment these two people came in line pushing the number of people in the line over 10 and therefore making it a stupid "wristband-line" (boo). Now I was lucky. I got the second place in line, but in front of me were to 2 people who came in last......those were the Dixie Chicks fans (grrrr). After they got their tickets, I was next. I ran up and requested my passports to greatness, but too much time had transpired. By the time the ticket-master-guy switched over to Radiohead from the Dixie Chicks and put in my ticket request the tickets were all sold out. I was sad. But now I have them and everything's alight ^__^. Good luck to all the listees trying to get them tomorrow, I'm rooting for you! The semester's almost over, and there is one thing that just bugs me. There is this REALLY cool girl who is in my "Film Art" class at PCC. She is very definition of "twee." Everything about her: style, dress, attitude ... hopefully musical / film taste just screams TWEE. However, I have a hard time approaching her and talking to her......Why is it that girls who have nothing in common with me are so easy to talk to, where someone who's conversational potential is very very high are so impossible to approach? grrrr, and now the semester's almost over (the class is on Thursdays, next Thursday is a "study day," and the week after that is our final) and I've not said a word to her. I fear that it'll be too late and I'll never see her again. Any advice on this situation would be very much appreciated. I'm not looking for a girlfriend, just someone to talk to about things of the twee ways. OK, I've rambled on about as much as typably possible... sorry.... hit delete now ^__^ - Jason Jumped in the river what did I see?

Sinister: ticket is a small leaf of paper, derived from etiquette, and close to tickle
by Gordon 13 May '01

13 May '01

Hullo I have a bellyful of wine and passiflora, and I still can't sleep. 02:57 am, listening to William Orbit, which is lovely and spacey for these sunless hours, like being on that little spaceship that crashes into the moon's face. Although the moon is currently out of view, so I read a great many posts about tickets instead. I used one to gain admittance to a play called Woyzeck the other night, then read bits of Homer's *War Music* to myself with some self-conscious intensity in a trendi bar afterwards, a little drunk and lonely, but with lovely shiny metaphors. One occasionally gets flashes of confidence and the smallest exchange can be laden with tenderness and intimacy, even with a complete stranger. A few of these moments recalled and the night seems more inviting. Sunset wrote about creation and Pamela about Minis and the Big Issue. Making things is essential, I think, and the avoidance of Big Issue sellers difficult, and a constant pain on the conscience which, I'll admit, I assuage by showily giving large sums of money to non big issue sellers late at night, I have a night time theme... If you live somewhere far away, the big issue is a magazine sold by people who can't afford a home to live in, and was devised in order to allow such people the opportunity to earn some dignity, rather than being forced to beg. It's a lovely idea, but damned irksome, all this conscience-pricking, like those well-meaning students with clip-boards and anyone else who accosts me as I march on my determined, shy and bloody-minded way to nowhere in particular. Flowers... the flowers in Princes' Street Gardens in Edinburgh are quite beautiful and, unlike the ones one might buy from a supermarket, they are scented. Check out a flower near you, I say. They are so terribly bright and delicate, and one of nature's finest means of addressing the sky. Ah, a spacey version of Handel's *Xerxes* plays now, which always throws me into a melancholy, because I can see my granny play it on the Bechstein I inherited. For me, it is very much 'her tune', though I shudder to think of how public I now make that private knowledge. Then again, words, huh? Just letters. Eterlest Next weekend I'm going to drive north. I want to stay at Arisaig House, but at £150 a night, way, way out of my league. Arisaig house was used as a training base for members of the Special Operations Executive in WWII and, according to their online brochure, there is a large and immaculately mown lawn that stretches from the billiards room towards the seas of the hebrides. I think it might be haunted. All those cloak and dagger types back for another dram and the click of coloured balls on slate. Perhaps a tent is the answer, although it's a tad scary, miles from anywhere, with only an occasional passing aeroplane, tide-wash and assorted spooky noises for company, and the rhythm of some elian lighthouse across the water. Ah, Harkon, king of the Nordics was plying his way through this wash a thousand years back. Been there before, see.. I can remember it from last time. That's why I want to go back. Some places are like that. Siren places. More night. A daily reminder of this ball spinning in space, not hugging the sun's light but it's gravity: how could our sensibilities get us so wrong? Perhaps God's way of telling us to sleep regularly, but the spell is broken and here it is; a dark, stateless, Godless zone. And the window is open, admitting cold but fresh air. Ah, life is not so fine for those bacteria who cling to meteorites. Fine: honed; marbly; more stuff and, like Ewan McGregor says in the movie: *more life*. Isn't stolen time sweet? Back to business. Seeings as Belle and Sebastian are playing a concert in Glasgow on a June Saturday evening, might some of us be inclined to spend some of the afternoon by the People's Palace on the grass of Glasgow Green? Someone mentioned that Curldup Carey was in charge here, and I nominated Ally '96 for the job, so I don't want to pre-empt anyone's plans... but to get the ball rolling folks. Rock'n rolling :) My head is full of twiddly synthesizer bits courtesy of William Orbit, so I won't comment on Belle and Sebastian sound because it would be too sonically confusing but, thanx to Jordi we can see their new EP cuvvur. Not that I've looked, mind, but three people on it so, obviously, not dance music. Unless your conception of dancing is twee-bop or wonky-tango... I'm rather looking forward to it. The birds are up. A little dawn creeping. Another day in... on... beside... besides... no tickets: just walk on through :) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Pure art is borne of epiphany?
by David Howie 12 May '01

12 May '01

Forgive the subject line; or, rather, its author. Mediocrity: the glue that binds us all or the wall that serves to highlight how fast the wind blows? I guess this would be a fitting time for THAT Woody Guthrie quote: "The world is filled with people who are no longer needed - and who try to make slaves of all of us - and they have their music and we have ours - Theirs, the wasted songs of a superstitious nightmare - and without their musical and ideological miscarriages to compare our Song of Freedom to, we'd not have any opposite to compare music with - and like the drifting wind, hitting against no obstacle, we'd never knows it's (sic) speed, it's (sic) power." Well, that about sums it up. No need for me to prattle on at inordinate length. So, mediocrity: not such a bad thing after all. As for Shed Seven: they shoot horse, don't they? Well, I wish they'd hurry up. I'm not sure that Panic is actually an anti-disco song (despite the lyric "burn down the disco"). I always listened to it as an "explicit denunciation of black pop". In tandem with a handful of provocative Moz quotes, the brouhaha laid the track that led to the 'racist' accusations around 1992's Your Arsenal (culminating in Tjinder Singh burning a Moz poster: bastard). It's just a great decrying of the banality of the '80's mainstream. According to legend it was inspired by the rather surreal juxtaposition, on Radio 1, of news of the meltdown at Chernobyl followed by Wham!'s I'm Your Man. Marr: "I do remember being in the kitchen with Morrisey [great how he doesn't call him Stephen] and Wham! coming on the radio and then just completely dissing it - and within a week we had that song." Mediocrity = popularity. To buttress this assertion by way of example: Gray David, Toploader, Starsailor, Bridgett Jones' Diary [film and book], Captain Correlli's Mandolin, Stereophonics. The fact that "Mediocrity = popularity" has a little to do with the concept "lowest common denominator". Take the recent example at Glasgow University where a distinguished intellectual [some might say Scotland's leading author; I wouldn't] was beaten by a two-bit comic with the catchphrase "Gonnae no' dae that". The case for the prosecution rests. The Heller/Shed 7 comparison is apt. I know I'd like to thrust Er, ahem. I'd rather cut open my scrotum and rub live bees into the wound than go and see Feeder. Your description of Feeder was nothing short of altruistic. (Hefner are pretty good live, though. Pretty hard to beat: though Neal Casal gave them a good fight. Oh yeh, and so did Belle & Sebastian. :-) On a scale of 1 to pish-poor-awful. 1 being the least pish-poor-awful and pish-poor-awful being the most pish-poor-awful. I reckon I'd have to say Feeder are about 9. Y'know. Pretty high. And in conclusion to echo Danny: "Anyway, is there going to be some sort of meet before the B&S gigs at Glasgow, I remember the idea of a Kelvingrove picnic being banded about, so what was eventually decided?" And, the same applies for me "Sorry for annoying people with my rant" :-( David. PS Just a little note on Disco; it's an unfairly maligned genre of music, y'know. Donna Summer's I Feel Love. Ah mean, c'mon. "It was unprecedented. No verse, no chorus, just Summer's purring mantra set over endless, oscillating, undulating, repetitive sequencer-driven beats." PPS That's my fifteen minutes. Anybody care to debate? Go on, you know you want to. I've never actually had an argument/convo with anyone on Sinister. I always shy away from real discussion. _________________________________________________________________________ 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 land of the long white cloud
by Lawrence Mikkelsen 12 May '01

12 May '01

Hello folks **NEW ZEALAND MUSIC MONTH** It is this, now. Supposedly New Zealand music is the best it has ever been, according to "people in the New Zealand music industry", which is funny, because I'd thought it was terrible. Basically, NZ is now capable of producing "mainstream alternative rock acts" who don't really sound indigenous (in the way The Clean, or The Sneaky Feelings or The Chills did), but who nonetheless sell well and have singles in the charts. It makes me sad, 'cause I have friends in a couple of really amazing bands and they can't get any interest from labels. (sigh) Speaking of which, it is time for me to set the record straight. **TRUEBLISS** "Who?" you ask. "Truebliss" I reply, not really clarifying the situation. Right, you've all heard of Hear'say (unless you are a deaf mute from Mars) And according to the PR, the UK "Popstars" series was based on an Australian concept, which spawned a band called Bardot. (Who stalled outside the UK top 40, and whose debut album can be found for $5.00 or under in any budget CD store across this beautiful land ....) Anyway, what not many people know is that Bardot themselves were actually based on a New Zealand version of the show, which screened in '99, and spawned a 5 piece girl band called Truebliss. Who, of course, were just as crap as Bardot and Hear'say. But the point is, I think they must be given credit. TRUEBLISS WERE THE FIRST MANUFACTURED POP BAND TO BE MADE INTO A TV SHOW (Discounting The Monkees) There, OK, I've given them credit. On to other things. **JEALOUSY** I am, of course, extremely jealous of all the people being able to see B&S soon. If I weren't getting married in six months, I'd be over there in a shot. But I hope you all enjoy it, as I stay at home by myself (sigh) **NEW SINGLE ARTWORK** Is this anywhere else apart from a place where I would have to sign up for a Spanish B&S mailing list? Can someone else host it in a more convenient place? And why is Spain such a hip indie place all of a sudden? I loved Barcelona when I was there in '98, but the only record stores I could find were ones which sold Dance music. But maybe I was wandering around the wrong alleyways. **NEW ZEALANDER'S AHOY!** I met up with Sean Hopson from London last Sunday. it was nice actually meeting another listee in the flesh. We climbed Mt Eden to watch the sun set, and had a crap meal and my girlfriend's sister's boyfriend's place. I like showing people around Auckland ...... *DAVID CLARK* is a new listee from New Zealand. I mailed him last week, as there are only three of us in the country and I thought it would be nice to acquaint myself with him. But I have heard *nothing*, so perhaps my reputation precedes me. David, I am a nice fellow in a stable relationship with a girl and am not an internet sex predator who joins mailing lists to meet young boys, if that is what you are thinking. (And hopefully, of course, that wasn't what you were thinking ....) So e-mail me please ..... (sorry, listees, for this blatant e-mail abuse) **REM** "Reveal" sure is great for a band who have been "at it" for 20 years, and who are up to their 12th album. Cheers Buck/Mills/Stipe Righto, off to commit various deeds. word Lawrence Mikkelsen +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Sinister :Story... not real life ...don't get confused!!!
by Sunset . 12 May '01

12 May '01

Nothing to do with belle and sebastian sorry... Lucy was a girl who lived, far away from where people normally live, in a place not too many people know about. It was a good place though, but not too different from here you understand. Her life was never difficult either, and not too many bad things happened to her. In fact nothing really bad ever happened. But Lucy was unsatisified. As the days went by she went looking for something beautiful. She wanted to do something special with her life. Despite her charmed existence she felt sad, she felt unfulfilled but most of all she felt guilt at her own discontent. Until one day. She woke to an unusually bright sun and a low mist. It surrounded her tiny house enclosing her in her own secret world. Lucy dropped to the floor and lay on her back feeling herself sinking into the warm damp grass. She lay there for sometime watching the sky move and feeling the breeze on her body. She lost herself completely, became free at last. As she did so flowers started to burst from her fingers, from her eyes and from her heart. A passer-by stood and looked in amazement at Lucy in flower. "At last" she thought "I've made something beautiful of my life". _________________________________________________________________________ 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: Michael Owen is a twat.
by Sam Walton 12 May '01

12 May '01

Hello boys, girls, and those who don't fall into either category (P. Carter). Well I've just spent an hour doing 'anger management' having watched the Cup Final, were Liverpool stole victory from the jaws of defeat. If I see that Owen, I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind... So yeah, I was mighty pissed off, so I've just spent the last hour listening to the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds and the Good Morning Vietnam soundtrack and playing mindless computer games (MicroMachines2 on the Megadrive). The music makes me smile, and games take my mind off things. So that was a fucker, the Cup Final I mean. Nevermind - there's always next year. And I'd just like to thank Stephan Henchoz for using his hand not once but **twice**. It's not called FOOTball for nothing dear. I'm tres excited about the Albert Hall Gig. However, one little twee question. Where are people going? Are people going for the sitting area, or are we all going to be sinister together in the standing? I'd quite like to know, cos if most people are sitting, then I'll sit too, but if everyone is going to stand and heckle, then I'll join in too. I'm such a sheep, but I'd like to know if anyone would like to mail me. Also, how about an evening picnic in Hyde Park on the Friday, about 6ish before the gig? Mail me if you're interested. Right then, I think I've said far too much. 15 minutes is up... love to all S.x P.S. Hello to young Jojo who's currently sucking a dummy in the nursery. I said I'd do it, and I just have: HELLO JO! ============================================================ "What we say is that the most important thing of all is that no matter how dreary the situation is, or how difficult it may be, the storm really doesn't matter until the storm begins to get you down. My advice to you, the message that the Cannonball Quintet brings to you is that it's rough and tough in this ghetto, but there's a lotta funky stuff going down, and you gotta walk tall.

Sinister: woe is me, etc.
by Andrea Kittenmouse 12 May '01

12 May '01

Dear s(in)isters (and bros.), Just have a couple of questions...I've been dreading and anticipating for the last couple of years Belle and Sebastian touring the United States. Why? Because also for the last couple of years I've been planning on going to school for a term in Europe/UK whatever. I finally, after two or so years of pondering it, am going to be in Glasgow for a term (Sept. thru Dec. '01), and guess what? B&S are touring the U.S. "later this year". What does that probably mean? Well, duh, they'll probably be in my hometown (or at least the west coast U.S. at the same time I'm in Glasgow. I knew this would happen. I've been predicting it. Of course, I can't afford to go see them when they actually are playing in Glasgow in June. Not that I blame them or anything, it's just sad coincidence of timing and I'm whining about it. Enough of that crap though. Maybe they'll play in Glasgow in Autumn? ? ? Radiohead Question: Who made the cover artwork for Radiohead's Kid A? Who designed the funny little bears? I need to know for a possible research paper on a subject under the heading 20th C design. It's either that or Norwegian Black Metal (sort of a joke topic, don't actually like the music...duh). Also, for Mark: glad you liked the c.d. Will write later.

Sinister: elephants and dogs to go...
by steve peet 12 May '01

12 May '01

I forgot to mention about Carsmile's observation of some story in the Grauniad about some fat woman winning a competition to do things with elephants in Thailand? Did anyone see the thing in today's Mirror (for the sport - honest) about some lass getting gored to death by an elephant that went on the rampage at some Thai conservation park? No connection I hope? This was on the page after the story about some bloke from London who went on hols to the Philippines or something and developped rabies after being bitten by a dog. I think it might have had more to do with the fact that they caught and *ate* the dog for it's crimes! The mirror just casually mentioned this as though it was de rigeur.
