Sinister: teeth things? eeeuurrgghhh

Hi kiddies, everyones written about the gigs and how fantastic the whole weekend was, I've just got to add my wholehearted (almost, but let's get the good stuff over with first) agreement on the whole aceness of the weekend. The journey up to Glasgow, giggles, old timers with their mini pork pies, long walks for cigarettes, but hey, it's all worth it when glorious Glasgow's at the other end :-) Oh Glasgow, home of lovely people, glorious 80 shilling bouze and the barrowlands, not the most slubrious of venues but twinkling with buzzy stars nonetheless. I'd been waiting since 1998 for the moment and when it arrived it never went away (but why did it take 3 songs?) goosebumps all over, shivers down my spine I was finally watching my heroes and they didn't let me down, absolutely fan-bloody-tastic. I'm not going to go on about which songs they played and that cos you already know, but they were sooooo cool. Saturday's picnic wasn't too good to me as I was feeling somewhat under the weather (and no it wasn't beer for a change) so sorry I wasn't my usual self, but hey there was another gig round the corner:-) We got in, saw the shufflers this time (fun, apart from the scotland 10 - england nil reference boo) and then some songs were played while we waited and then the lights went out and they were back! And they rocked, so much better than the night before, the goosebumps were there from the start and then it happened............. Some chuffing halfwit wannabe Ned started going on and on and on, not content with belting out all the slower songs terrace style (especially on we rule the school i.e,. the song sprout wanted to hear more than all the others), trying to make funny comments and generally being a wanker. Requests for him to shut up were completely ignored and I couldn't even throw him out of the window as I wouldn't then be allowed to stay and watch the band! So if anyone sees a wannabe ned with cropped hair, big glasses and an expression that makes Cletus the Slack jawed yokel from the simpsons look like Christian Slater then thank him for taking a hell of a lot of gloss of what should have been one of the best nights of my life by pushing him in the Clyde for me. I'm not normally like this, honest. Love Cabbagexx PS and sprout says hi to all those she met :-) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Psychic dancehall
by Ian Nicolson 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

Hello chipmunks Recently a couple of people pointed out the dark and mysterious psychic powers of Sinister, by saying that they'd posted about the Albert Hall gig years ago and the like, so not wanting to be left out... On the 15th of June last year I muttered: "so, are any other proud bus pass carriers somewhat perturbed by stuart's new car?...i hope it doesn't mean we'll be subjected to a glut of chris rea/brian may type songs about being in love with a car" Jings! But I'm not bothered, cause it's a triffic song, and not at all like Chris Rea or Brian May, although it has been pointed out to me that bits of it are not unlike the Huckleberry Finn theme tune. I think I might be beginning to prefer the Miraculous Technique one, though. Maybe. But it is encouraging that they're still writing such wonderful stuff. There's been loads written about the weekend already, and all far better than I could do, so it would probably be wrong of me to subject the poor Sinister children to any more. But it was very difficult this morning not to sound like an excited little girl when my work people asked me how my weekend had been, cause it was lots of fun. They probably all think I'm a little bit sad now. Thankfully I managed to refrain from telling them how many times I'd seen the Jonathan David video over the weekend (at least eight in a row at one point, although it could well have been more). But it's worth it for rockstar Stevie's big sad eyes. He loves it! People have said this lots of times already and will continue to do so today, but I don't want anyone to forget about the John Peel show tonight. Four new songs! Crikey!

Sinister: my ten biggest wanks
by Hannah Brown 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

YEH, YOURE ALL A BUNCH OF DIRTY SCAMPS WITH A ONE TRACK MIND (unlike me) ok, so i know that fyhcywlap has been out for more than a while but for some reason i decided not to bother with it for various reasons that i wont bore you with. um, i listened to it for the first time on sunday and i ABSOLUTELY love it, more than arab strap, a bit more than tigermilk, and a bit less than feeling sinister, which, in my books brings it second in the picking order of B&S albums. My boyfriend reckons it didnt grow on him as much as the others so maybe ill will go off it quickly, i dunno, its quite fun to NOT buy an album and to have NOT heared any of the tracks from it. i might do that more often. i also might buy a beatles album, they are suppose to be quite good you know. from the ken chu appreciation society +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

None
by Paul Arathoon 19 Jun '01

Dear Sinister, I was in Glasgow for the saturday night. For some reason I thought doing London-Manchester on friday, followed by Manchester-Glasgow on saturday and Glasgow-London (via coach-a lenghty mistake) on sunday was a good idea. It wasn't. But the gig was fantastic. "All the hits and more" as the B&S best of might have tagged onto it one day. I was actually in the Sarcens Head before the gig. Interesting pub. There was a Kareoke type DJ setting up and he started to play Paul McCartney and the Lighthouse family. Which was bad. But then, when he had set up his drum machine etc he left Tigermilk on to play- much to the general astonishment of the indie kids in there. And the distaste of the locals. What a grate marketing ploy it was too. Like a siren on the rocks to the doomed sailor the indie kids were drawn in one by one. Only to be accosted by the locals and drawn into drunken conversations. I made my excuses (general health and safety being paramount) and left to go to the gig. Take your Carriage clock makes me want to cry. But then again that might be related to the fact that all of the work I did yesterday was wiped off an excel spreadsheet for no reason at all other than computer stupidity. And the fact that my heart is slowly being raked over hot coals by a woman at work, who will then be nice to me for a week before ripping my heart out again. It's like a boom and bust Tory economic policy but on a weekly basis. I need a solid chancellor to sort this out. Ho Hum. I am gutted i missed the sinister picnic but i was late into glasgow and had drop all my stuff off. oh well. I hear the football went well.

Sinister: Radio blah blah
by marc bots 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

Hello all I just saw that today is 19th of june, and I think I remember people writing about a John Peel or something session being broadcast tonoght. Am I right or am I right? Can someone please tell me when and where? I think we have bbc radio on cable here in holland, so being able to hear B&S play would make up a tiny little bit for not seeing any concerts. By the way, has anyone recorded a concert on minidisc? Do B&S mind being bootlegged? Did I spell bootlegged correctly? So many questions and it's only 9:27. And I have to start working. Right about now. take care marc +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i want to shower you with sugarlumps
by john john 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

Dear puddlyypoos, In the high street of my lovely hometown Dingwall. The shops are usually one floor, with the odd chartered accountants or hairdressers above. Two floors is quite large especially if youre standing, peering over the edge of the roof. If I was ever caught like that (which is not likely) then Id have to be lying on my tumtum (on a flat roof) with only my eyes & maybe my chin looking over. Thats prolly one of the scariest day-nightmare-thing that Ive imagined and could maybe happen in real life. Im quite scare d of heights & stuff, and Ive imagined & dreamt, in my sleep many times about being on the edge of a building or cliff, with another cm either way seeing my fate with its own peepers. Its not that I want to jump. I just find myself there by some really rubbishy reason. And I always end up freezing, because I think I would slip and fall. And even if there are people behind me, wanting to aid me in some way, watching, they cant do a thing about my thing neither because they could possibly make me fall too. Which leaves m in one of the most isolated & scary situations, because all I want to do in my dream or nightmary-thing-day-dream is give someone the largest snuggle. But even though Im petrified of big buildings, youve got to admire them. On saturday morning, I went into Glasgow especially early, before I met up with the lovely & fab & cutsey gneissypoo, to wander through the city centre on my own, and look up at the massive buildings. And some of them are taken up by only 1 building, which is really scary, considering we dont even have Jonathan David in Dingwall. Then I took Gneissypoo to some shops, and set off to the picnic, where we were first there. I saw some people on benches after riding on the escalators, so I decided to spy on them, and when I left, people had arrived to have a picnic, and I became so nervous that I walked & hid right round the station & back to the escalators. Then I met up with some of the loveliest people evereverever. I have to give special hellos & baaaas to my dearest princess Honeybunny, and miss Amy Jackson, who is one of the fabbest girls in the world, and Gneissypoo (and miss Idleberry too, who is very cute) But *everyone* was fantastic, and I couldnt believe how lovely a picnic could be. Theyre so wonderful. The concerts were fab, with a highlight being that Jackie (I think it was) played the trumpet upside down for the Superduper Shufflers. Penelope smells gorgeous now, and loves every one of you who cuddled her. She told me so. But I am going to send her to someone special, because they are luvvly jubbly & deserve her company more than me. Byeeees Johnjohn X p.s. a special hug & haribo for Mr Ally for running the bestest day ever. (p.p.s. I hugged Mr Ally!) i asked him if he'd be my friend and much my my surprise he didn't seem to mind at all so i gave my friend a panda hug and kissed him on the eyes and put hi in my bed by the wall - spider _________________________________________________________________________ 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: confused, tired, more confused, more tired...
by idleberry 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

Yalala people, Got the JD single today. Wopping great tune, likes. Is that how you spell wopping? or is it whopping? or is it whooping? no.. I'm sure thats a type of cough that little babies get. I might be wrong though. Its still great in any case. (the single, not the illness). Got it on my way to the train, first thing this morning (the single, not the illness.). Long train journey. Don't need the details, do you? GAH! Everyone is leaving/left university and when I see them again, I dunno!!! I'm annoyed. I bought a load of popex shares in B+S and they're decreasing in value. I thought with a new single and a tour they'd be sure to make me a virtual mint. I was wrong. whats a curmbox, by the way? it appears when I open my e mail account in the "what your bowser is up to" area. All rude suggestions to idleberry at the usual address. Rude suggestions about what a curmbox is, not other rude suggestions that might involve things I don't want to know about. Gah! (Part two) I got all this graduation stuff to sort out. Such as clothes, gowns, mortar board hats, photographers, parties, parents, time off for good behaviour, time off for bad and indecent behaviour. I've decided that ONE DAY I shall own the following: an MX-5; a flat of my own, with nice wooden floors, and one room painted in passionate purple; a little town where all my friends can live and then I can see them every day; A puppy; My own home computer; a walk in wardrobe- which will be organised by the following categories: flimsyness, colour, how well it hides my legs, could I wear it to a gig. I've been asked to do an animation for a bands website, along the style lines of my B+S animation. Only less twee. If you've not seen my B+S one its at http://www.geocities.com/idleberry/lovestory.html Its not really got a plot so to speak, but there are references in there. See if you can spot Honey. OKay Tis all.

Sinister: help! i need somebody [not just anybody]
by Rob S. 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

Dear Sinister Folk, After months of silence, I return. [bloody unlikely any of you remember me in the first place.] I guess I'll start with a wee bit of content: The new E.P. is fabulous in my opinion! Especially the last two songs. It even had my mother smiling. Anyways, now on to the help part, It was just brought to my attention that myself, and two of my dearest friends [also rabid b&s fans] are going to be in Scotland at the beginning of July. The scary thing about this is I have no real money [two hundread pounds at the most]. Most of my accomadations are going to be paid for...but some of them will not. I was wondering if you Scots [or other members of the jet-set] have money-saving tips / good places to go. We are most likely staying all of July. Good-luck to me! - rock robster p.s. email me back privately so we don't break any list rules. _________________________________________________________________________ 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.
