Sinister: Lights, Buoys, Fog Signals, Etc.
by Gordon 29 Jun '01

29 Jun '01

my drawing board keeps collapsing. N wonder what with all the stuff on it. Iannis Xenakis died earlier this year and Jack Lemmon yesterday And at some point Douglas Adams. All departed. However, there are dramas closer to hand such as ... Jenowl tell me where to find those bastards and I'll kick through the tears of hate to make you safer. I'm a pacifist but on this occassion my principles can go to hell. On a lighter note there are haircuts. The Vidal no. WOULD suit you julie. Borne to it. Glance at the ghost of Louise Brookes and smile at your superiority. I really love all you people... (they disturb my working life, Laura) I think it's all just perfect and I dream and hope and sing and everything can be real and good and honest and true and once settled perhaps not so much declaimed from the rooftops as cuddled up by a fireside reading haiku, chaucer and frolicking in fancy costumes. It may still be possible, and I never loose hope.

Sinister: Hospitals are not swell.
by JENOWL22＠aol.com 29 Jun '01

29 Jun '01

Hewwo, Well, I've had a less than swell last week anda a half. I've been in hospital, so I had to delete a few sinister mails. The sinister picnic was grate. Everyone was swell, and I rolled down a hill. And made americans drink ribena. And I got Jonathon David. Take Your Carriage Clock and Shove It is possibly amazing. And Struan carries off his strings obsession without butchering the song, like he did with the Model. This next bit is about boring stuff that happened to me like getting put in hospital which I felt like sharing. On wednesday last, the blonde and I got jumped by the hard kids who didn't like my jacket and they beat the complete brown stuff out of us which wasn't fun. The blonde got her nose broke and ran away. Oh, and you know how i was in hospital with that thing in my stomach that they said would go away? Well, when 15 people pile in and kick you repeatedly in the stomach and general upper body it doesn't bode well for a grate recovery. Especially when bystanders stand and laugh when you collapse afterwards. But anyway they cut me open because of all the damage done and they told me about lots of gory things they found like the walls of my stomach being spattered with blood and how when I woke up the doctor said "um...we had to do some major surgery..." and I shat myself.. But now I have one ovary and a horrid cut and stuff. And everyone's making such a fuss. And jaz came through from fife and was swell and offered to kill everyone. And I can't go on holiday in july now. And I missed the Peel session i think. And I'm in rather a lot of pain. And people I hardly know all decided they were my bestest friend cause of how there was a very slight possibility that I might have died but I prolly wouldn't have and in fact I didn't. And I was hooked up to a machine with a mask and everything and it looked very impressive. And I got to tell the nurses not to let any reporters from newpapers see me. And I had a swell black eye. Though all in all it wasn't a positive experience in my life. I'm going to go now and phone people who think I'm dead.

Sinister: ...and they took pictures
by Chris Leak 29 Jun '01

29 Jun '01

..sme again. Sorry, I forgot to mention that there are pictures from the post-gig Warehouse do at: http://www.warehousenightclub.co.uk I have now realised that yes, I was a bit drunk 'cause I don't remember any of the band being there. Having just looked at the Warehouse Website pics, it appears that they very much were. Never mind, there's always next time.

Sinister: Chas & Dave Saw Me Coming
by Chris Leak 29 Jun '01

29 Jun '01

Hi Anyone go to the Preston Guild Hall gig? Toptastic gig but I always find the atmosphere in there a bit lacking? Perhaps it's just me. The BBC Snooker theme tune was a nice interlude and reminded me of my first single pucahse ever, yes that's right the timeless "Snooker Loopy"! Before you lynch me, I was very young at the time and I have come along in leaps and bounds ever since. Did I see any of you in the Warehouse after? I have to admit I was a tad tipsy and may well not remember, sorry about that. Anyway, for those of you going to the remaining gigs, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Sinister: FRIDAY RAH PICNIC
by Sam Walton 29 Jun '01

29 Jun '01

Okay, I'll shut up after this one, I promise. The picnic before the RAH-gig is still on, (2pm, Albert Memorial and everything), But here's the contingency plan in case it chucks it down. There's a bandstand about 300 metres from the Albert Memorial, here: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?grid2map?x=526250&y=179750&zoom=1&… I reckon that if it's chucking it down, we go and eat sandwiches and drink under the bandstand, because it's not like it will be cold, just a bit wet, and the bandstand will provide dryness. Good idea? But it WILL be sunny, right? Excellent. See you there. Sam.x (your chaotic picnic mummy) PS If anyone has any better suggestions, please feel free to email me soon and tell me what you think they are... _________________________________________________________________________ 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: Peel session guitar tabs(apologies for length)
by dontloveanyone＠netscape.net 28 Jun '01

28 Jun '01

Hey all, since no one seems to have done them and since i'm bored, lonely, and in need of something to do i decided to give figuring out the new songs on guitar a go. i'll try the single songs out later, but for now i gave the Peel session ones a try. please point out any mistakes i made (probably several) so we can get versions that are more correct and submit them to the site. apologies to all who don't play guitar for the length of the message. the lyrics have been posted, so i'll only put lyrics where they're necessary to judge timing SHOOT THE SEXUAL ATHLETE bass verse bit G-------------------------------------------------- D------4---45-------------------------------------- A---55--5------------------------------------------ E--------77---------------------------------------- chorus(?): A A/G (302220) 'Cause I'm a fan of the Go-Betweens pick the chords like so: e-----0-------0------------------------------------ B-------2------2----------------------------------- G---2--------2------------------------------------- D--2--------2-------------------------------------- A-0------------------------------------------------ E---------3---------------------------------------- verse guitar (pick chords dont strum) D D/B(x20032) Of all the stars, and all the would-be stars the riff at the end of each line is something like e-3-2-0 B-3-3-3 G-2-2-2 end on A MAGIC OF A KIND WORD no one, i think, has posted the lyrics to Magic so these are rough rough guesses F G When I think of all the sorrow, It is hard to take a breath People fighting one another F G# C And i feel there's nothing left,And i feel theres nothing left this is when it all goes mental so the chords are a bit hard to hear the C to F thing is way easier on piano, but do-able on guitar. timing's sorta tricky. C F C F C F C Hey! Cut me loose, i'm feeling fine,yea i'm feeling fine C F We're just like traffic in a big town C G You better stop you better slow down NOTHING IN THE SILENCE the isobel bits: F#m D Something set me thinking Bm E When I opened up my eyes D Dm That there was nothing there to tell me D E I'd been listening to lies F#m D But in silence there is truth Bm E There is beauty, there is love D Bm There is nothing in the silence F#m To be frightened of the sarah bits: F#m Her retreat in so few words E Is the last thing you'd expect D But there's danger in assuming Bm That she's being direct D Take a look behind her eyes E And you will see D That she knows nothing of silence Bm F#m Silence can only come from me the instrumental bit is F#m Bm E D Bm F#m (MY GIRL'S GOT) MIRACULOUS TECHNIQUE D G Oh no, the snow's stopped snowing D G D Maybe we'll get some bowling and drinking in G A And looking at the sky [the verses sometimes end on A, or something they go back to D G] CHORUS D G Take a look around you D G C G The spring has sent the sound of rain upon your windowsill A So grab your coat and play a song for me *** again, these are guesses, corrections are very very welcome. __________________________________________________________________ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Jonathan never really moved on like David did...
by Oo and Jonny 28 Jun '01

28 Jun '01

I've went to Preston last night to the strange but attractive in a 1960s brick-built kind of way Guild Hall, complete with integral car park overhead walkway that miraculously contains no winos, piss or other such nastiness - an ocean of calm in a sea of chaos as far as car parks go methinks. But hey, I guess you don't want to know that do you? B&S were GRATE, but then you didn't expect me to say any different did you? I must admit I was a little apprehensive beforehand as walking around the spacious sixth form common room type bar (it took me back, but then that shows my age - but then I don't recall my sixth form common room serving appalling beer - mind you, I could never get a seat in the common room either...) I wondered if some of the crowd would treat it like a ROCK gig, but I have to say that the audience were lovely on the whole (apart from maybe you Mr hip flask spilling, arms flailing boy in a floppy white sun hat) Was stood quite near the front, to the side with the lovely Isobel (oh, I'm sure this will set some of you off - Oo thinks her bottom has expanded, which some of you have said before, but then she would say that...) The set was quite similar to Scarborough - I wouldn't even pretend to try to recall all the songs, but Gina's Scarborough post seems right. Tonight's lovely covers were the snooker theme tune - you would know it if you heard it - well maybe not if you lived across the ocean, and a Rolling Stones song on request - I don't know its name, but it gave Belfast Bob the chance to ROCK out in his fetching Mogwai Scottish Guitar Army T-shirt. (I tried to send this post last night, but did so in an unsinisterly html type thing, not a lovely plain text manner - anyhow, if I had done so, I'd have forgotten to mention to the weird and wonderful opening cover - I knew there was something before La Pastie, but was damned if I could know what it was - it was Arrested Development's Everyday People - I remembered today and it made me smile) A wonderful wonderful occasion - maybe not as grate as the last time I saw them in Leeds far too long ago - but marvellous all the same. By the way, I finally got Jonathan David - I love it all, I must say - then again I do have a penchant for B&S songs with Jonathan or Jo(h)nny in the lyrics, as I like Slow Graffiti particularly also... I guess my fifteen minutes of fame are up... Enjoy !R!A!H! and the other dates those who are going - wishing I could be there... The boy with the slightly too tight new B&S XL t-shirt who's going to have to do some exercise and not eat sweeties - how ungrate...
