Sinister: digeridoos and toilet attendants. you know, the usual. oh and a plea
by Robert Brennan 15 Jun '01

15 Jun '01

Hey ho! Nine day weekends are cool especially when you've got nothing to do except get drunk and finish all those books you meant to... The USS Enterprise is off the shores of this little town right now. I wondered around town fully expecting to see Captain Kirk getting thrown out of Yates' but apparently it's just an aircraft carrier. It contains sailors much like British ships except they're more likely to complain about the lack of anywhere to get a decent steak. Another thing that recently happened here is the opening of a place called Tiger Tiger. These are places with a number of different rooms all of which sell the same overpriced bottled beers. The discovery of the night was that they have people who are paid to hand me paper towels after I have just urinated and washed my hands. I wanted to ask him how it felt to be paid to do the job of a plastic box nailed to a wall but I guess you gotta start somewheres. Anyway it was shite. The other thing that happened was I went to London. While browsing Waterstones in Covent Garden I came across a new book signing. I can't remember the name of the book - something about ancient cultures' use of resonant sounds in religous ceremonies. Anyway, by way of demonstration they had a man called Bear who played the digeridoo. He offered to play it at me with my eyes closed. Confident of having witnesses in case he tried anything, I accepted. It was a peculiar feeling - sort of like a massage with sound. Unfortunately I was unable to come up with anything particularly descriptive at the time so his demo fell slightly flat and my mind remained un-expanded. I've not heard JD yet but I believe Swells speaketh the truth in all matters B&S so it must be wank. Oh look just ignore him. He'll get bored and go away. James Thorniley said a lot of unpleasant things about Starsailor. GOOD ON YER BOY! Quick appeal: Any London listees going to RAH able to offer a fellow twee human a sofa or floor or nice soft cushion for the night? I don't take up much space and I'm quite easy on the eye in the mornings. Please drop me a line off-list. Or if you know of any all night club type dos after the gig. Or if you just have something nice to say. Thanks. Have fun everyone in Glasgow. Robsterrr ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: NYC picnic tomorrow! Directions, etc.
by Julie 15 Jun '01

15 Jun '01

Okay, so the picnic is tomorrow!!! Therefore, it is time for directions and such. The picnic is in the same spot as last time, and Miss Print gave me a little help utilizing the archive to see how I gave directions last time: "Do you know how to get to the Metropolitan Museum of Art? If you don't and you can't figure it out, email me. From the Met, walk down one of the pathways into Central Park on either side of the building. You'll come to a silly archy thing. Trot through the archy thing. On the right will be the Obelisk, which has always served as a highly unnecessary phallic symbol in the park, if you ask me. Walk straight down the path and to the left will be a little splotch of grass and trees where we will be picnicking. This splotch is in the southeast corner of the Great Lawn, above the turtle pond, in case you're coming from another direction. " I attempted to draw a map of this, but it was abysmal. You're all smart, you'll figure it out. The Met is most easily reached by subway on the 4, 5, or 6 trains. Although metmuseum.org seems convinced the 86th St stop is closest, 77th St works just as well. My cell phone number is 917 375 6875, so feel free to call me with any questions or if you get lost (even if you're a total stranger). Heavy breathers welcome, but please no Canadians. The picnic begins at 2ish and goes on til whenever we get tired of each other/it rains/Will Porter shows up (which should be no earlier than 6). Later on some of us have decided to go see Kiki & Herb, if you'd like to join in on that action call for reservations at Fez, 212 533 2680. Please bring food, drink, party favors, or puppies, and don't forget to wish Matt Hintz a happy belated birthday. In other news, I really want a pair of purple Puma roller skates. Sigh. Hope to see you tomorrow! xoxo Julie +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: only 189 messsages from now

friends, human, sinisterines! centuries since previous post and with good reason, the fecudity of locutions has kept me in the backlogs of weblogs (am i right? is that what "weblogs" are?) still amusing and moving and manic, but impossible to respond. yet i refuse to recuse myself from at least scanning every last one and no, neither can i start from the most recent and move up (i am the sort who... well, let me put it this way, during my schooldays, the 'hardkids'--to use the jenowl neologism--used to steal my paperback novels and read the end to me as a form of mischief/torture: the end is supposed to be at the end for a reason!) and so ensues...raison 'd 8-track: for no other reason than to engender dispute, in my latest attempt to recruit for the cult, what follows is the title and sequence of my own personal best-of B&S (that there also exists a similar-if-not-quite identical mix used as the enticement doesn't mean that this does not express the essence of it) as contained on one 80-minute CD. legal man the boy w/the arab strap dirty dream #2 nice day for a sulk the state that i am in it could have been a brilliant career slow grafitti judy and the dream of horses la pastie de la bourgeoisie don't leave the light on baby expectations i could be dreaming like dylan at the movies the model seymour stein seeing other people she's losing it a century of fakers family tree a summer wasting womens realm and yes, i know, the other version has mayfly in there somewhere... rawk as rock: went out for a sonic reducer wednesday: picture this, if you can--glenn branca & the plaza in front of the world trade center! the former, the foremost composer of guitar army symphonies (there were 100 there, guitarists, i mean, ten bassists and one drummer), the latter the former tallest building(s) on this planet. the question in every one's mind: could they hear this band on the 106th floor? probably, it felt like an sst taking off on wings of ostrich guitar straight out of VU "white light, white heat"...extended for one hour...where time seemed to stretch and warp as much as you could see these steel columns rising into the sky straight and long as the neck of an aluminum fender stratocaster, the interregnum floors seeming as much as frets...wondering if the mountain had come to mohammed or vice versa...or whether mohammed was strumming the buildings... title of piece: Hallucination City. last nite was a lot of sci-fi smut read at a local queerculture bistro called dixon place. a drag queen prostitute boy becomes woman-for-a-day from nanotech biomolecules, a female scientist teases co-worker with a story of how she fuckt a black hole, and others from the nerve.com site's present presentation of this edition. i include this only as a sop to those who feel all the talk of the tour has lowered the oozey, funky, sweaty, steamy content of this list to a new low. be reading you. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Gnaheeee campers
by Elizabeth Daplyn 15 Jun '01

15 Jun '01

Et V!O!I!L!A! Here I am, back from the dungeon of lurkering (but soon to depart due to university email account shutting its leaden doors of doom: kind of like Rodin's Gates of Hell, but less of the wee de'ils an' tha') with a silly grin on me mush. For Lo, I have finished my Finals, and a mere two days after doing so have my degree result. 2.1 baby yeah. Cor. And also very very excited about RAH and picnicking in Oxford and by the Prince Albert (missus). I read somewhere ages ago that when they'd finished re-gilding Albert and had put a big old spotlight on him, he was such a shining beacon that all the tramps came from miles around to piss on him at the witching hour. Crayzee, eh? Don't get any ideas, kids: he may be a German aristo, but he brought us the humble Christmas Twee. And a novelty piercing. And probably a very special mutation of syphilis. Only heard Jonathan David on the radio the other day in a distracted state (me, not the radio, although it is cheap Taiwanese crap) and thought it was rather nice, although a bit pear-shaped (hah, I should talk) in the middle. Can things be pear-shaped in the middle? Or are they reverse-hourglass-shaped? Anyway, it'll probably grow on me in the manner of especially aggressive mould when I storm the rekkid shops on Monday. Curse you Americanos with your early release advantages! Crikey, is that the time? I must start drinking immediately. 'Tis the opening of my degree exhibition of me fan-bluddy-tastic art this evening, and it would be churlish to attend without having got a few pints in first. Tara a bit.

Sinister: People keep mistaking me for a drunken lout
by James Thorniley 15 Jun '01

15 Jun '01

Hello sinister, (just quickly - really sorry if this has been sent twice but I don't think it has because last time my email program had my address set wrong) Oh what was I going to say... Well to start off because I can't remember the other stuff I was going to say I'm going to tell you about the Guildford Live festival this year. It's fantastic, and it beats the shit out of that crappy little ATP thing. You may even find a few people smiling in the field. Plus the NME won't be there - chances are if any journalists turn up it will be cool ones from Planet Sound on channel four teletext*. The line up is always pants mostly, but there is this year: P!U!L!P! Tindersticks James Bert Jansh & Bernard Butler (haven't got a fucking clue what this is but Bernard Butler's cool). Drunk in Public (acoustic levellers, apparently) Dead men walking (featuring some bloke from the sex pistols. don't know what they're like though). Mull historical society (i'm sure i've heard of them, can't think if they're any good or not). Snow patrol. There's also loads of really shockingly bad local bands and old shit, e.g. "The Bush the Tree and Me", "The Wurzels", "Fuzz Light Year" and "Catatonia". It's around £30 for each day, £64 for all three days. £25 for a tent. www.guildford-live.co.uk. And you paid £100+ to see shit like boards of canada and a whole pile of bands you'd never heard of! That was the worst advert ever on sinister I think. It's longer and more obvious than most of the Offbeat spams we get. I keep using the word shit in a very American sounding way. Perhaps the result of too much MTV. Or something. Maybe my subconsious is just trying to impress Laura Llew. Radiohead were good on TV. I think they were better when they were a guitar band also, Jason, but the new stuffs good too. And you can't always try and do the same stuff over and over or you become tired and boring like Morrissey. Ages ago people talked about songs that sounded like other songs and can I just say that "Things you can do" by Deltron 3030 sounds a lot like "Clint Eastwood" by Gorillaz. The voice of the guy rapping sounds very similar and the sample going on in the background as well. Gorillaz rock by the way, Stuart Braithwaite doesn't know what he's talking about. Deltron 3030 are also pretty cool, but the best song at the moment is "Daydream in blue" by I Monster. It apparently uses the same sample as this Beta Band song I've never heard, so I'm sure if you like one you'll like the other ;) Finally some amusingly terrible pisstake names for Starsailor (apart from Shitsailor) that I'm going to make up right now Poosailor Crapsailor Cuntsailor Arsesailor Fucksailor Arsefucksailor Analsecretionsailor Byebye dears James xx P.S. I'm not a drunken lout nor am I foul mouthed. *Almost forgot. If you don't already, you must read planet sound starting on page 450 on c4 teletext. Also page 146 is good for pervy stories about people with willy problems (Dear Nick, Please help me. My penis is shaped like an amusingly shaped vegetable. Yours, Starsailor Fan ) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: on picnics, Los Angeles and otherwise
by Brier Random 15 Jun '01

15 Jun '01

Firstly, I got a twinge in my heart of the Oxford picnicees marching up St. Clements Street, as *that* is where I lived when I lived in England. If you see a fish & chips place at #38, look up to the top floor window & say hi to my ghost. I threw up out that window on Thanksgiving 1989. And spent some of the best months of my life. And secondly, the Los Angeles picnic, "A Summer Wasting", was i think a success, as founder Jennifer Juniper already pointed out. There's photos to be seen here: http://www.asummerwasting.homestead.com/photos1.html Ernie, you're in a few of them (sorry). But mostly I just got your palm covering your face. Have y'all ever met someone so camera-obscura? Adrian & Chris strummed out some lovely tunes by our favorite band, and Rachel Cornflakegirl was even lovelier in person. My sister (and recent convert) Melanie chased after a camera-man from the Discovery Channel, demanding to know whether he knew who Rick Springfield was. He was embarrassed and tried to deny it at first, but we could tell by his too-quick denial that he at least owned "Working Class Dog" and "Success Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet". And we played with a dog the size of a rat, but fluffy and springy thru the grass. He was cute till he pinched a cigarette-butt-sized loaf on the lawn. Then we kinda lost interest. But the best was the Japanese tourist who agreed to take our group photo. He counted off with the cutest "Wan... Too... Free..." and he said it *twice* as we'd given him two cameras with which to win our soft hearts. Bless that man. Apologies to The Pickle Prince for publicly announcing that he was *not* in attendance, despite his assurance that he'd be there "with belles on" (excerpt from the 'A Summer Wasting' guestbook). We kept watching the horizon for his bent-cowboyhatted silhouette strutting forth, but it never came. And on our way to the freeway, Rachel & her boy-crew following us, we sucker-bombed a bag of crisps into their car at a red light; and they thusly retalliated with (inexplicably) a box of tissues through our car window at the next red light. We blew our nose in their general direction, and kept the tissues as the Spoils of War. And although i failed to mention it at the picnic, it was Joan Of Dark's birthday the very same day. It was fitting that, although we couldn't be in Greece to party with her, we partied like it was 1989. Or something. And the Ribenna was flowing!! Although I couldn't pronounce it correctly, and it was shunned by some of the picnicers ("Welch's with a bit more berry flavor-- but you hafta mix it yerself!") but embraced by others (J. Juniper emphasized that it's better with vodka). I believe her. So that was the picnic. We were chasing the shade of the announcement-speaker-thingy, but it kept us up to speed with the happenings of the Observatory minute-by-minute. When all of a sudden a god-like booming voice would announce above our heads: "Attention, Griffith Observatory visitors....." we half-expected to hear: "The freeks you see on our south lawn are representatives of the Belle and Sebastian collective known as Sinister. They are harmless, but if you approach them use caution. They are known to burst out into laughter. Tickets are now on sale for our 3 PM planetarium show entitled The Many Moons Of Saturn. Admission is free for children under 5 years." Anyway, it was a wonderful time. See the photos and believe me. I've just started singing for a Pavement cover band, just something to do for the summer. But the thing is, we're covering one non-Pavement song. It's called "Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying". More on this as the situation progresses. Did I mention that I was an extra in the Nelly Furtado video "Turn Off The Light"? Look for me when it comes out, in about a month. I'll look for you everywhere.

Sinister: make lots of money
by DansonHatcher＠aol.com 15 Jun '01

15 Jun '01

Hello Firstly just wondering if some lovely,beautiful,wonderful, kind soul out there would consider selling me their tickets for the Royal Albert Hall (or should that be R!A!H! ) gig. you can total take advantage of me, as in name your price and I'll probably buy it. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-= This week I started late shift at work. and let me tell you it's very weird cos you go in at 4pm and work till 12 ,then cycle back home for the next hour. Whilst on the bike the trip begins cos It's dark and there's NOBODY! ,you don't see ANYONE! for miles! but in my head it's only 4pm (thats when I an used to leaving work). a taxi driver I spoke to was saying to me that this must be what it's like in a nuclear war when everyone has gone into there underground bunkers. So strange! all alone in the world but. the trouble with biking about down these lonely road's at a silly time in the morning is that your imagination goes doolally. For instance the other night, there I am quite happily rolling down this pitch black little lane the other night when I glance to my right and nearly take the bike up to 100mph as this see-through white thing is flying along beside me. My God I was truly shaken up at this point and it was following me still!.... ..........right up until the point there was a break in the hedge, at which point I realised that the thing I had been scared to shaking point by was in fact the light beam from my front light shining on the hedge............what a twat! ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Hey,yeah also does anyone know what the line "don't look back,like Dilon in the movies" refer to? My new fave early morning/just in from work food has to be Carrot's,they're lovely I mean I 've just eaten four whilst writing this. Has anyone else be to Rockaboom in St Martins sq in Leicester,it's ever so good. Sorry if this is uninforming but I need to do something after a bit of a Pepsi max overdose (I'll be up all night now) If any one can make use of a free Birmingham (2nd of July) ticket then get in touch. ######################################### There's nothing wrong with loving your car. I have very deep feelings for my faded blue, `74 Datsun. Chrome lightly twinkling and those highly expressive eyes/headlamps looking up at me, I've been stood in the road for the last five minutes in a daze while the car has been *making eyes* at me seductively "let's go out James, just you and me" ,it's all a bit to much to resist. SEXY STRAIGHT SIX SUPER CAR be mine forever. Who else but the one who's in the know would possably want to know what the meaning of anything is unless you're plain CONFUSED. The first person to answer the above question will receive a nugget of genuine 1979 Datsun 260Z carpet. Thanks for taking the time to look at this you lovely people. James. /``..``````````\ ,---------------------'---''''----------------'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '-------- \ \\\\\\\\\\\\\ \ l____/'''''o''''''''\......................../''''''''''o'' '''''''''''''''''\...../ /////////// Car's make us happy but are dangerous and polute the atmosphere. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

i have few friends on sinister. one of them will be in glasgow at the same time as me, and i failed to make arrangements to meet. if any of you know the whereabouts of velocity farewell could you slip her my phone number in a secret classroom note stylee, and ask her to call or text details of where the in-crowd will be drinking after the gig? 07970 282591. no crank calls please, they only embarass. tomorrow i start the long journey from swansea to glasgow. if anyone's on the 11.14 virgin train from bistol - glasgow i'll be in first class looking out of place due to the bizarre state of variable ticket prices on our fantastic privatised rail network. cheers gareth +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I love (singing in) my car
by steve peet 14 Jun '01

14 Jun '01

Hi y'all I've decided to put my head over the parapet again and say a few lines. The countdown timer's set for 15 mins and I've been saving up ideas for ages for ages. I'm not drunk, but that rule doesn't seem to have been set in stone yet, so here goes... Someone mentioned singing along to B&S in the car. I'm glad I'm not the only one, though the Aislers Set have gained ascendency lately. I don't half get some funny looks driving to work of a morning though! Weekend before last I had the Moldy Peaches on LOUD driving up to the Offbeat special - with the windows down as it was a hot day, and stuck in traffic on the M1 I certainly drew some attention! I'll be doing that route again actually next weekend when I go to see them Moldys live in Sheffield, so if anyone sees, or hears, a clapped out white Escort estate chugging up the M1 spouting twee tunes and obscenities, don't worry it's only me! The Offbeat 'do' was great. Thanks to all concerned. I'd not been in there 2 minutes before I saw Ken again on the latest leg of his Red Bull sponsored tour de force. We had great fun making our own flyers on beer labels! One lass came right up and asked if I was on the list, and another said she'd seen me at Pow! To The People in Camden. Now where else would you find such a lovely close-knit community than in the lovely land of Sinister? Ahhh. Sorry I couldn't make the picynic the following day, but I trusy you had a lovely time. Can't wait for the RAH gig. My ticket finally arrived, so I'm much happier now. It was waiting for me on my return from my week back home oop norwth, which was good as I needed something to cheer me up after getting beaten up in my home town. :( My sympathies to all other suffering sinistarians, 'specially Jen. Keep the gig reviews coming, they only serve to whet the appetite further! Can anyone tell me (off list please!) what goodies, if any, are available to buy - Ts, badges, etc.? Ta. There, that ought to do it! I'm sure Sir Cliff would be proud.

Sinister: picnix/swells
by Sam Walton 14 Jun '01

14 Jun '01

hello. Two posts in quick succession - this is getting a bit eager... Anyway, I was just going to write some assinine ramble about Swells, but I'll do that after I've got "content" out of the way. CarsmileSteve wrote: >>I also have the friday of !R!A!H! off, wasn't that Sam Walton meant to be >>organising something for the afternoon? Indeed, indeed. Back in May I volunteered to be picnic mummy for a pre-gig gathering on 29th. So here are the details: I reckon it's best if we meet by the Albert Memorial at 2pm. That way we can drink/play footie (my leg is okay-ish now) and generally be twee, before storming the RAH on the very second that the doors open. For those people who don't know what the Albert Memorial is, it's a 100ft high gold statue of Prince Albert and it's totally impossible not to notice. It's slap bang opposite the RAH too, as this handy map demonstrates: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?grid2map?X=526569&Y=179893&arrow=N… Lovely. So yeah, normal picnic rules apply. I'll be the tall lanky one with a twisted nerve badge on his jacket, hopefully standing next to a smaller girl, also with a twisted nerve badge and a clash badge on her jacket. 29th June. 2pm. Miss it, miss out. Anyone in any doubt, send me an email (samwaltonyeah(a)hotmail.com) and I'll have my mobile with me (078-6684-1757) on the day. Perhaps we could invite Swells. I have a theory about Swells. I reckon that he's kept in a gimp cellar in a dungeon underneath the NME offices, only allowed out when a B&S record is released, so that he can slate it. What else has he written about in the last year? I like him though. He makes me laugh.

Well it's good to see that Peter's gardening skills are being put to good use. I hear that Kara's back yard was in a real mess, and only someone with Carter's green fingers could handle it. But it's good to see that the horticulture is still keeping him busy. I've decided, after about a month of pondering, that I really love the new Air record, even if it does sound a little bit like Pink Floyd, although PF are alright too. That's all. See you all on the 29th, love S.x _________________________________________________________________________ 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.
