Sinister: Get me away from here I'm dying
by Ken Chu 11 Jun '01

11 Jun '01

Hello, Life can be great sometimes :-). Remembered the girl I talked about last time? Well yesterday was my 21st birthday, so I invited everyone (and so of course her) along to my little night out, and she replied saying she might come! Woohoo. Well the night went on, she didn't turn up, but various friends turned up instead, so great fun was had by all, for some reason tho, my conversation with one of the friends turned to her, and that's when I discovered that the girl and him have been starting going out since last week. Some fucking grate 21st birthday this was. You can't plan a more apt birthday for dear old Ken if you tried can you. Ah well. Yay and my mum called me the other day cos she got a letter the other day from a company I've applied for, she couldn't read much English but she read the word "unable", oh ok thanks. Oh and my pet rabbit got run over by a car last night, that's not true I don't have a pet rabbit but it may as well have happened. Hmm B&S contents, I listened to tigermilk at 3am last night and sobbed.

Sinister: indie schmindie
by Lawrence Mikkelsen 11 Jun '01

11 Jun '01

hello list folk again, a long time since I posted, mainly thanks to repeated illnesses. very frustrating. I have literally *just* got over a bad cold, only to get another worse one. so today I am at home, surfing the net, and reading "The Name Of The Rose" by Umberto Eco, which I must confess to be one of the very best books I have ever had the fortune to read, in a year where I have read very many good books. it's great, at work there are three of us who depole sport and talk about books, and we've ben passing stuff around, which has been fab. I haven't had to visit the public library in months. righto, firstly a question ..... ***CAMERA OBSCURA*** Can anyone tell me what this band is actually like, and whether they have released anything. (and by way of an aside, I should point out that the demise of Napster has MADE ME BUY LESS RECORDS. yes, it is true. last year, hearing about bands on this list, I would download a few tracks, and if i liked'em, would buy an album, or, in the case of Hefner, their entire back catalogue, plus singles, and then start accumulating bootlegs. now I just tend to ingore a lot of the recommendations, because the NZ dollar is so low it makes buying an album unseen a real risk) so, err .... screw you, major record companies. Anyway, Camera Obscura sound liuke they'd be really great, so if anone would like to e-mail me and tell me a little more about them, what's available etc., I may very well take the plunge. next ... ***THE PRISONER*** I know fellow Auckland listee Scott M mentioned this a week or so back. any other fans? I have just started watching the show, and it really is brilliant. it also makes bits of Mansun's "Six" make a little more sense too. thirdly (or, fourthly, if you count the introduction) ***NEW B&S STUFF*** was wondering what sort of hype (if any) was going on. there was a lot in the music papers when "Legal Man" was about to come out, but there doesn't (to me) seem nearly as much excitement or hype this time. I still haven't heard the sibngle, but am nonetheless excited. Also, anyone know anything more about the s/t album. Will the Jeepster album be just the B&S stuff (hopefully), or half and half with the other stuff. Also, is it a mixture of "proper songs" and score, or jusr score. Any info appreciated .... takes a while to trickle down this side of the world, is all .... finally ***THE BEACH BOYS*** Buy more of their albums. I have ... I bought 4 of the two-for-one CDs the other day, and haven't looked back. Especially "Friends" and "Sunflower", each of which is *almost* as good as "Pet Sounds" right, back to bed and books, mike love, not war Lawrence Mikkelsen +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Let's Taste The Thrill Of Stolen Love Once More Until The Dawning
by David Moore 10 Jun '01

10 Jun '01

Hi All, It seems to be OK to discuss the new single even though its not been released yet: so as I was able to overhear someone listening to it the other evening I'll stick my oar in too with a couple of initial impressions. I'll agree with fellow juror Mr Leonard's consistent high scores & would add that the first thing to strike me was how great it SOUNDS: a beautiful recording, crystal clear with every voice & instrument distinct. There's a splash cymbal in Jonathan David that shatters as painfully as a sheet of glass. The most impressive thing about JD seems to be the vocal arrangement & the way it builds between Stevie Reverb, Stuart & (what sounds to me more like Sarah than Isobel, but I'm most probably mistaken). Is it this that has inspired the comparisons with The Zombies? I also caught myself jigging about to it behind the settee in my uniquely clumsy way. As to TYCCASI (yes!) I think its the string arrangement that makes it: someone's getting better at these, from FYHCYWLAP, through Camera Obscura's Eighties Fan & now this - wow! I've been trying not to think about the lyrics too much though as in certain aspects they reflect my own current work experience & I fear that pondering them too closely might make me blub. Pretty pedal steel too, I wonder who plays that? Its really difficult to achieve an objective viewpoint on this now but I suspect that if I knew nothing about Belle and Sebastian and were to hear this on the radio it would have the same effect on me as The State I Am In did in '96. TLOTMDR: is it really 3 and a half years since this was broadcast on Beat Patrol? Great to have a "proper" version available at last. So many instruments! At least 6 guitars, I think, as well as various keyboards, strings, percussion & whistling: you'd probably need chemical help to listen to them all at the same time. Anyway, onto that real list business stuff. Peter Miller asked for a Chris Leonard gig review days ago & never received one. I bet a list Mum or two went, but all Lulou(a)missspell.org does is snub Peter by consistently calling him "Millar". All I can contribute is a note about The Foxgloves gig last week when they played to a lucky audience of 8 gorgeous people & me (at least two thirds of whom listees) in a smart loft in Clerkenwell. Great sound, welcome, hospitality & atmosphere despite (because of?) the small number present. Joe Brooker/The Pinefox kicked off proceedings with 3 new solo songs before being joined by Stevie "Le" Troussé for another 10 numbers including 2 new Stevie songs & covers of Laura Cantrell & some geezer called ?Lloyd Cole. Excellent: wish you all could have heard it. Jinx followed with a delightful performance but I can't go into as much detail because unfortunately I'm not at all familiar with their material. Thanks to all concerned. Where's Big Gay Mark's right arm in that Primrose Hill picnic photo? http://www.missprint.org/sinister/picnics/May2001-ThePrimrosePath3.html The new Super Furry Animals album is fantastic. I never thought I would read myself saying that. My PC's been busted so I've missed the Dunoon reviews on Sinister: were they any good? Soon be Friday!!!!!

Sinister: sinister: i dreamt an arshile gorky landscape...time me on this
by Bipedalboy＠aol.com 10 Jun '01

10 Jun '01

terrible me, last night when i fell asleep i dreamt of architectonic paintings? what curious structures, reminded me of a tempest approaching or miro fully realized... in the landscape adolf wolfi played his trumpet as he concurred he is truly the king of the universe, all agreed but the bride of the wind ran away before she could decide. in mexico she laid asleep, like myself, dreaming of sidhe... strange dream, no? oddly though it made perfect sense to me? no B&S content, but one has to expect some other interference in to be filtered in once in awhile.... when will i be distracted by the new B&S CD? lost in berkeley, luismonkeyboysidhe "sogni d'oro" +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Outside cookery
by DansonHatcher＠aol.com 10 Jun '01

10 Jun '01

Hey Sinister's It's James Now I hope u don't get too fed up with me going on about Leicester Picnic but I just need your help here. When I first put out the idea of a picnic there was loads of you (I had around 15 mails) all interested and thought "Blimey I'm surrounded by these people" , Just lately though you all seem to have disappeared,I just can't get hold of many people. So if everyone who's up for it could just give me a bell. Another idea I've been playing with is to have a BBQ , I'll bring the the thing but again I could just do with knowing how many people to expect so as to account for feeding. Is this a good idea? You know what would be really grate, if you give me ring on .... 07932150709 It'd be good to have a proper coversation, emails are so impersonal . """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" """""""""""" Has anyone else seen those jeans that are sold as Blue Label. They're really strange cos if you look under the labels you can see they used to have at some point had someone else's label. VERY ODD. HELP Does anyone else know where I could find David Kitt's "The Big Romance". I've heard nothing but good things about it. The Sun keeps flirting, but I think that's as far as she wants to go as the Clouds give many hiding places and so............ See you. James. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

A nice man mailed me a while back and said he was driving to york, where there are later trains, but we won't all fit in his car. And everything stops too early....what is a boy to do?

Sinister: The first time I heard Cat Stevens I was drunk
by TheAbsurdHero＠aol.com 09 Jun '01

09 Jun '01

Hello list, My name is Damon. This is my first post. I've been a fan of Belle & Sebastian since "If You're Feeling Sinister" came out. I have a wide taste of music, everything from Woody Guthrie to The Sex Pistols to Handel to Marvin Gaye to Public Enemy. Right now, I'm going through a motown phase("What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted" by Jimmy Ruffin is the greatest song ever.) Besides music I love reading (Jack Kerouac, Anton Chekhov, William Shakespeare, Samuel Beckett, Albert Camus, Bronte, James Joyce and much more), Also film(Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, Akira Kurosawa, Elia Kazan etc..) and my greatest passion acting. I live in the USA near the Bay Area. Summer so far is very dull and blah. I may take some summer courses, if I have time. I've planned to work on two plays and write a one act to direct for next year. I'm also going to see Radiohead live(yay!.) Right now I'm debating weather to order the DVD "Woman In The Dunes" or pre-order the DVD of "Akira." I own too much CDs, I need to get more films. Well that's all I have to say now. bye bye. -Damon +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Fluffy duckies and farm fantasies
by jo perry 09 Jun '01

09 Jun '01

Hello, A second post is a conundrum to rival those of Countdown. I have been perusing some musings which have stayed with me long enough to be documented. I was at York uni last weekend and was struck by the beauty of the surroundings. Fair enough the halls are not the Ritz (obviously as the Ritz is the Ritz) but it doesn't really matter when you are able to look out of the window and see little fluffy ducks flapping about and the odd bunny rabbit. This made me long for something more than London suburbia, though i have thought i would like to get out for a while my passion to emulate Ma Larkin (Darling buds of May) has increased to the point where i am swooning over oven gloves (Thanks Falconer!) Belle and Sebastian provided the soundtrack to my weekend, it was my companion in the early hours when "sleepy drawers" (the person i was visiting) was still sleeping. The train journey was blissful with the countryside to stare at and Belle and Sebastian to tell me stories and urge me to sing along. I couldnt resist humming and causing the old blokes playing cards to cast me a bemused glance. I've been Jojo, you've been a wonderful audience. Take care. x ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
