Sinister: Natty Dread Schmatty Dread
by Clarke, Sarah J (EU) 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

Chaps! Blimey, there's a new Belle & Sebastian single out! NGG! And I've only got a mere 89pennies until I can spare some time to go and queue up in a bank whilst they still refuse to send me a new cash card! I'm no longer a true fan! Why this should bother me when I don't even own the last album, I do not know, but singles are always special! And I've not heard this one yet, but pedal guitars = Thumbs Up! Does anyone want to sell (or what the hey, give!) me an Albert Hall ticket? I'm regaining some enthusiasm - and also, I've had Songs From The Musical of TigerMilching (its German, you know!) in my head all day. Ack! I will buy the single tomorrow and listen to it from my Whitehall base. Hello Ben! You work for DTI! I work for DEFRA! It's not as good working for a mouldy old Department, it doesn't have the imposing cachet of a Ministry. A ministry summons up images of such things as the Queen and Country, the Avengers, a portcullis! A Department stinks of grey filing cabinets. HUMBUG! However, at least our abbreviation sounds quite cool. Each time someone refers to DEFRA, I get mental images of the PRE-HISTORIC MONSTER called DEFRAAAAGH fighting the evil force of darkness MUMRAH!! Defra 'In Zion' Vs. 'Scratch' Mumrah Uptown! I'd like to think that's a little what the Uptown Shufflers sound like. Would you like to know what I do, when not imaging the British Civil Service fighting it out in the form of Japanese monsters/Thundercats? Well, I sit on my big old bum, write emails, phone people, wish I could play my Gameboy, count hours passing by and consider teaching myself LINUX. Linux is cool! I'd like to wear a badge that says LINUX RULES OKAY, with a really geeky bit of code. Computer science is not at all cool, but imagine the GLEE of casually lending your 2K laptop to an EVIL DESIGNER SCROTE and saying casually, "make sure you boot it up into Windows you STUPID LOSER PLEB, I much prefer to run Linux but you wouldn't understand...". Watch their piggy little heads explode as they realise that not only I am prettier than them but that they are no command for my COMMAND PROMPT INPUT SYSTEM! Oh no! We need a graphical interface! KABOOOM!!!!! TYPHLOSION! Oh! And sometimes I call ambassadors! Soon we will be organising an Ambassadors Reception! I've got the number for the Ferrero Rocher Emergency Helpline stickytaped to my phone. Excullente! > > it played my headphones weren't plugged in fully and the were barely > > audible vocals under a swirl of instrumental, and It still > sounded *grate* > > (I think that's the correct term around these parts). Actually - the term GRATE originally came from Pauly on the smashing (but I'm unable to play it! ARG) PopEx, who nicked it from the most jolly MJ Hibbett who can be found at http://www.mjhibbet.com - he's got songs on there and everything! It should always be written in CAPITALS (you see, CAPITALS), and preferably with the addition of 'BLUDDY'. It is WRONG to write it in lower case. It is fine to be against the term, you do not HAF to use it, cos you know, you can do whatever you want, dude! Peace, yo. SunnySetSun... thing... that post was very strange. Most of the post-Glasgow posts were strange. I'm now afeared to go to Scotland, and I was fecking BORN there! Glad to know some of you met some nice people, it's nice to meet good people. Of course, I prefer standing on the bridge throwing CUSTARD PIES at people but I've always been one for bakery focused yumour. It's That Time Again! +++++++++++++++++++++ (all together now!) Robin, are you a weatherman yet? (rapturous applause) Lots of love, Sarah xx PS - I'm going to get a pet rat or hampster. Help me think of names? The current favourite is GLUECIFER. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: It's not like we'll never know looooove
by elenita99 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

Hello friends, This list is full of content these days, so I won't write about anything B&S related even if I saw the best gig ever on Saturday night. [Elena tries to think of something else] Argh sorry I can't resist! Saturday night was just amazing and I felt all weird inside afterwards. Also, before anyone lies, don't believe any person who says I have jumped around like a frog two hours before the gigs, ate my fingernails and said a hundred times "I am so excited I'm gonna die", cos that is not true. Pff like I would get that excited about seeing B&S for the first time in my life. On the way to Glasgow we were in a carriage full of old respectable ladies, apparently off to Gaslgow to have lots of fun like old ladies do once their boring husbands died, and Chris and Martin kept giggling because of their funny conversations. Also they got a bit shocked when Martin said rude words on the phone in front of her, but I think they were nice, all in all. More quiet than the lads on the way back, anyway. I met so many people this week-end I won't get on and on because I will forget some and they might get upset. But it was lovely, no need to say. Calvert Road is now the Crush-Vote house: Mike, Larry and me, that is three people crushed recently: can you do any better?? ner ner ner. I am off on holidays for a month in exactly 18 minutes. No need to say I am NOT excited. I hope you will miss me lots. But I will be back, as always. La la laaaa Elena xx PS: Jonathan David makes me jump all around the house like mad. I wish I was classy like Lixi and would not get excited like a 5 year old. _________________________________________________________________________ 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: where the New York City picnics aren't bleeding me...
by zvoruna 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

hello. my trip to the NYC belle picnic was a quiet one. sounds quite sinister to lay there in the grass and watch a picnic unfold. too shy to join in. really, i'm not a creep or a pervert though me telling you this would be your first indication to believe the exact opposite. i didn't have anything to add. i didn't bring any treats or cute blue blow-up bunnies. maybe next time. are there any sinister people out there who showed up for a picnic.... and then didn't go? z~* _____________________________________________ Free email with personality!

Sinister: i thought it was braw (glasgoo)
by Ken Chu 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

Hello, I was trying to write a post about the affairs (heh) that happened in Glasgow, but as I tried to think I couldn't really remember much, apart from things like... - arriving to glasgoooo on friday, and already was told to go to a pub, mmmmm DRINKS, which sets the theme for the whole weekend. - at the pub met up with friends and families (well, mummies), and got a phone call from my mate from home who got my degree result for me, and I am a clever bastard and I got a first!! Yay! That sets the mood for the whole weekend. - was meant to meet up with the guy who had my ticket, waited for an hour but couldn't manage to meet him nor hear from him nor imagine what he looks like nor anything at all. Which was not very nice, and so had to continue a 3-hour long seek for a ticket for Friday from that rival band to Steps, finally got one from the band manager type guy who was great and sold me a ticket for 12 pounds, he didn't show us his arse for a pound tho. - after getting a ticket to the gig, I decided that going to the gig would be an idea, and went to the gig, and it was rather good with Belle & Sebastian in it, I dunno what you are all talking about Isobel is lovely and her arse althought not as nice as mine is still fantarsetic, she didn't show us her arse for a pound either. - then went to the after gig party, and drank stuff, then went to the after gig party partick, after waiting for a taxi for a bluddy hour, and drank more stuff, and watched some weird scottish bands videoes, and then went to kip after babbling drunken stuff about a football field and safeways carparks (god knows), I didn't show anyone my arse for a pound but I probably would have if someone asked. - woke up feeling a bit sinister, and went to the sinister picnic, on our way there we went past a church but I couldn't see no ministers, but chances are he thought it was better to play with himself. The picnic was great and people talked to each other and some went to play with a football, we then went to the pub before the gig, some people played with a pool cue, while some stroked the balls, so everyone was happy. - going to the gig thinking that it would be just like the day before, but it wasn't, when they played "we ruled the school" for some strange reason it made me feel that my life is really shit and I felt really emotional, but for some even more strange reason then i remembered how much i loved belle and sebastian and thought that was the best gig in the world ever. - all the beautiful chords and sounds were too much for me and I felt a wee drop of tear around my peepers. - went to the after gig party, at the art school, which was a 4893 mile walk away, which isn't fun after running around like a loon in football in the afternoon, but made it, and had a great time, and some boys and girls seemed to also have a good time, playing with each other, I didn't see any pool cues tho, I thought it was rude to look. - then sunday we chilled in a pub for lunch and drinks, and watched folks playing folk music in this pub called uclkejqqr bertha, which was named after a girl called Bertha who was an alcoholic and drank loads of whisky. We, on behalf of Steven Wells donated £6.17 to some guy in the pub who was planning to do a Parachute-jump for charity, well done Steven you have finally done something right. - The whole weekend was rounded off when everyone buggered off home and me and calumn dobber and PF paid a tribute to the time when before B&S got famous, by recreating "My Wondering Days Are Over" and a few other classics on a 1/2 tuned piano and 1 guitar with 2 strings missing and 3 harmonious voices, which was delightfully mixed to perfection by Beck's lager, the piano didn't sound detuned to us. So, in summery, I saw them on friday, took them for a drink on saturday, and then something or other on the other days and we chilled on sunday. Can't wait until I get back to Milton Keynes on Wednesday, cos scotland is rubbish and I get to see Limp Bizkit in MK on Saturday. Isobel's Bum and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: I haven't mentioned many names but I do remember every single one of you I talked to, I think, so feel warm and get the "aww ken remembered me" feeling anyways, hmm if you were one of those girls who were snogging me whilst i was in the memory lapse um I'm sorry but you'll have to try harder to make an impression next time. ========================================= Red Bull Dozers http://www.cockscrew.com/rbd +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: A message from a friend...
by Sunset . 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

I'm not sure I should be doing this but I have a friend who would like to share a belle and sebastain experience with you all... she looked at me so pityingly and with such big eyes i gave in to her plaintive pleas... So here it is... I hope nobody minds: Things have been a little crazy the last couple of days and I'm not entirely sure what to make of it... In my little life I don't think I have ever encountered quite as much excitment in such a short space of time...except maybe the time that I ran in the sea and with my head held high in the air and I realised that my feet were no longer touching the ground... but no I think that this was better than all of that... I knew something was happening when I saw the girl packing the bag... she put in my ball so I pulled it out and ran around the room... she took it off me and told me to be patient... she looked a little worried. The boy got my lead and we all went to wait by the front door... so then I knew we were going on a longer adventure than the normal treks into the park... And before I knew it I was on another train... i will tell you a funny thing about trains. They are really quite good fun! At first I couldn't understand them and they scared me but I have long since changed my mind. As soon as you get on one you just know that something interesting is about to happen. You can hear the low rumble in the distance and fairly soon you will see the long snake like shape rolling towards you. I looked up at the girl and she smiled down. I could tell she understood about trains too. We finally got out at a place I recognised, I had been there the previous weekend but only for a little while, it hadn't been the best walk I had ever had. Too many people ignoring me, not enough fields to walk in, but it had been a walk to another train so I wondered if this was what was happening today. Well I can tell you now that it wasn't, but don't worry it was better than another train. We walked to a place where a group of people were stood around. I wasn't sure what was going on because the girl and the boy were very quiet so I couldn't ask them just then what was happening. And then somebody came up to speak to us. Strangely enough he knew my name but not the girl's he called her "sunnyset". Between you and me that is not really her name. I wasn't sure if she got confused becuase from then on she sometimes introduced her self by her real name and sometimes by this sunnyset name. I asked her about it later and she laughed and said "it is just like when I call you 'smell' even though I know that isn't your proper name." I wasn't sure I understood. Well this group of people seemed very nice indeed and they seemed to know what they were doing too.It is just as well really because I wasn't entirely sure that the boy and the girl did. So we followed them into a park and found another group of people. You will never guess what though? They were all surrounded by pidgeons! You must know how much I love pidgeons? They are so amazing you can see them walking along the ground, so you walk slowly and carefuly towards them but before you know it they are in the air. It seems like a pretty clever thing to do to me and if I ever get close enough I will ask them exactly how its done. Once the pidgeons were out of reach I started to look around at all of the people. I was so excited becuase people started to come up to talk to me. I just had to give them all a kiss they were so lovely. I didn't know why the girl didn't do the same she seemed pretty quiet still. She told me that it's not always as easy as all that and just because she didn't kiss everyone it didn't mean she didn't think they were all lovely. I told her maybe she should try next time becuase kissing everyone was so much fun. She laughed and said maybe if I had my confidence that is exactly what I would do. I don't know what she means by that becuase she is so confident really. She doesn't run away when the hair dryer or the hoover attacks her and she once saw a bicylce on the pavement and walked straight past it without even flinching. One girl gave me chocolate buttons. I don't know if you have ever had them before but if not they are lovely and you should. They are so much nicer than my meat and they are even nicer than carrots! I told the guineapigs that when I got home. They are always boasting because they get carrots everday and I only get them if they fall on the floor by accident. These people all seemed to know the band that I am named after so that made me feel very special. To be honest until then I wasn't sure if it was something that the girl made up just to make me feel happy but now that I know they are real and everybody else said how brilliant they are I feel very important. I think that is why I had my picture taken to be honest. I'm a little bit famous or something. I couldn't dissapoint my public and of course posed nicely for the camera. I'm not about to turn into one of these stuck up superstars! Eventually, after we had all been there for a little while, we went for a little walk to a pub! I felt so very grown-up being allowed in but my feeling of pride didn't last too long as I fell asleep quite quickly and before I knew it it was time to go. I asked the girl whether we would see any of these people again and she said she hoped so. I hope so too becuase they were all so nice. Anyway me and the girl have struck up a deal: I am going to teach her the running up to people and kissing them trick and she is going to teach me the how to stand up to hoovers trick! Love and extra kisses Belle xx _________________________________________________________________________ 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: Virtually Glasgow
by Hewitt, Stephen 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

ello babies I must say I thought Monica Queen was fantastic on friday nite, although the sound quality on Saturday wasn't nearly as good, kept breaking up, and i only talked to 5 people at the picnic, and most of that was bitching, at least being two (three?) hundred and whatever miles away I didn't get a wet bum from sitting on damp grass... Ah yes, the wonders of mobile telephony. I shall never again look askance at someone holding a mobile up at a gig, although anyone watching me dance around the kitchen like a fool during LLPJ, phone clamped twixt ear and shoulder must have thought i was a bit potty, Mrs Carsmile certainly did... And if only i'd got jooliewoolie's post before leaving work on friday, i could've been at the Nude York picnic too, that would've been good, beneath the giant phallus. So big !P!R!O!P!S! are due to Mr Cabbage and Mr Cassarotto for their phone wielding skills. Right I'm off to HMV (with birthday voucher, i hasten to add, support your local friendly independant record shop i say) for the purchasing of jonathan D. Now, should i listen to it on the crappy speakers in my office computer surrounded by the ppl i work with going "what's this" "belle and who?" etc or wait til i get home, decisions decisions... And don't forget Thursday: Sussed, Oxford Saturday: Picnic, Oxford those of you who can't be there, be virtually there via the wonders of modern technology :) xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Who's your daddy?
by Lucy Alder 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

I'm not a very sociable person, me. On Saturday I went to the biggest Scottish picnic ever (I think London still holds the international record, just about) and only met three new people. Jenowl hugged me! John John foisted Haribo sours and peanut cookies on me! Will, er, had plaits! I spotted Sunnyset because of her lovely, bouncy doggy but couldn't go and say hello because bouncy doggies and fishnet tights are a bad combination. Claws can easily get caught in little holes and I had no intention of looking like a St Trinian, so I stayed uphill and unladdered. I had considered going into the Saracens Head and saying "Oh ja, dahling, that's fabulous sweetie!" down my mobile phone in a very loud voice, but I didn't fancy being glassed so I left it to Ailsa to be well hard and went straight into the Barrowlands Ballroom and waltzed down the front. And, and, and! Then I finally saw Belle & Sebastian after a twenty-six month wait which began when I didn't get tickets for the Bowlie. The best bits were: - Le Pastie de la Bourgoisie, which really did ROCK. The girls' harmonies were spot on and the violins were triffic. - My Wandering Days Are Over - only the second time they've played it and the first time was a complete shambles, according to Mistopher Chris. It could have been a bit faster, but it was still a *moment* - Da ya Think I'm Sexy? in which Stevie became a ROCK GOD. If only he'd been wearing leopard print, eh? Rrrraow! Unfortunately he ruined the ROCK image shortly after by making a toy sheep baaaa into the microphone. Hmm. - The vibraphone coming in very, very loud in Mayfly and sounding like somebody farting down the microphone Other random observations: - Belfast Bob has Gay Dad hair - The merchandise I saw were four new badges (a website one, a BSPD one, one with a seventies looking couple and a blue and red one), a blue t-shirt with a drawing of Struan's car in pink and apparently there was a t-shirt with the seventies looking couple and some mugs too, but the merchandise stand was mobbed and I couldn't get close. I'll save my pennies for the Albert Hall. - Struan needs a couple of good hot dinners. His arse didn't fill out the tartan trews very well. I am tempted to make a comment about arse transplants at this point, but will refrain. - I'm not sure about I Love My Car. It reminds me of those oompah things Blur used to do. One other thing, and I'm not sure if it's good or bad. They did an encore. I don't think they've ever done an encore before. Have they sold out? I don't think so. After all, they didn't keep us shouting and stamping for more than about five seconds. If they were bastardy too-big-for-their-boots sell-outs, they'd have stayed backstage and made us wait for five minutes and milked it, man. And when they came back they did a jolly good Time of the Season which had me klok-clap-ahhing long into the next day. I think that might have been annoying to the people I was with. After the gig, we went to the Art School where I went a bit dozy because I'd been for 23 hours with no sleep so I was ROCK, if a bit ratty. But things livened up considerably when the Pinefox got in a fight! He would be the Chris Eubank of Sinister, if Chris Eubank wore purple jumpers. Big hugs to everyone who was there. I'm still all grinny. Can't wait for R!A!H! Lucy x ===== We're going out! http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/london-indie ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: picnics and headaches
by idleberry 17 Jun '01

hello all, big hellos to everyone at the picnic in Glasgow on 16/6. You're all possibly very intimidating at first, and had it not been that you were all looking fantastically stylish (lovely ties! t shirts! sexy skirts! and THAT extremely funky pink feather boa!) outside Kelvinwhatever Station, (Mr A Cook! you did indeed tell me to go to Kelvinnhall, not Kelvinbridge!!) I might have thought you were going to mug me. Never mind, I couldn't get me any chupa chups (good currency for buying friends. But chocolate buttons buy puppy love.) And I'm looking forward to seeing puppy power come to the sinister pages. Having never been to one of those things before, I really didn't know what to expect. But I did enjoy chatting with everyone who spoke to me. My only problem is I talk loads of guff when I drink (which I wasn't at the picnic) and even more when I'm feeling a bit "wo ha!" out there sort of thing. I imagine bungee jumping is less scary in prospect. Even for a girl like moi who is scared of heights. (Man wasn't meant to go up high).Anyway, yours trully is waffling. And I got a fan! I was told so! bless! My ego is irretrievable now, even if it was only said for a dare. And That Stuart Murdoch. Git. I got a sore head still today, and am hoping my forehead doesn't turn purple and yellow. He hit me with a stick of rock. I still can't raise my eyebrows in a comedy expression type way cos it hurts. Who wants to kiss it better for me? I'm such a big cry baby aren't I. Even men don't whinge and whimper this much when they get hurt or ill. Bumped into a bunch of folk I didn't expect to bump into. Old friends I haven't seen in years. What an extremely perculiar day it was yesterday. strangers and old friends. I hope theres going to be more of that. I like it. It gives me something to write about. cheers idle(Kristin)berry ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke we're all smoking our corduroys in our secret little b+s club- what are you doing?? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I'm really sorry for this blatant list abuse, but this a message on behalf of a friend... "I have two Bournemouth tickets for sale as unfortunately I can't make it to the gig on July 3rd. 2 tickets for Bournemouth Pavillion on July 3rd. Seats 1&2 in Row E Doors 7pm Tickets cost £23 the pair - however I am open to offers. My mobile no. is 07941 431 492 (no funny stuff) ask for Samanthi thank you!" Thanks again and my humble apologies. I'm off to see the Strokes / Moldy Peaches as penitence.
