Sinister: story
by Gordon 09 Jun '01

09 Jun '01

Things have happened overnight in person which, for reasons bordering upon discretion, I shall not divulge but rather I'll focus on two people, and all of you. One is a gentleman of my own age; the other is a police sergeant. You all know or, are finding who you are. The former bears the character of an aristocrat. He is effusive and witty; a little philosophy; strong and companionable and responds to requests for his roll-up cigarettes, but only if the conversation allows it, and is lively to the concept of debate. We sit by the riverside: me smoking his roll-ups by the minute and talking endlessly as he smiles and works up towards another expostulation. He is scared of his mother. This said to you, not in order to describe his haranguing on subjects such as moral philosophy but in the jist of his emotional provenance. It is approaching 3am. The other man; the police man is more irritated by the disruption to his routine and the responsible young men who felt it was worthy of their sense of duty to call upon his services, as I drove, loosing a hub-cap, up the road. We proceed from the portable breathalyser to the clunky one in the interview room alongside his femail compadre who says 'the debate stops here' in the van in which I'm being taken into Stirling. The sergeant says I'm the most polite man he's ever arrested under these circumstances. Rather than be pedantic I smile (although he cannot see this) and remain silent. I considered Utilitarianism and the Law and decided that, in this instance, my guilt should be clearly expressed. The sergeant has a respectable demeanour verging upon the pleasant and, his compadre returns into this lemon-sickness coloured room with the clunky breathalyser with its widely ranging results saying 'have you been chatting' to the sergeant. We're waiting. We're all waiting, and to expand upon a trivial story of some slight degree of moral complexity: things come and go. More importantly in life's rich tapestry: they pass; weave, bind and stitch together.

Sinister: "Muffins? But I specifically ordered crumpets!"
by Iain Radcliffe 09 Jun '01

09 Jun '01

Hi, Well the rain's certainly falling hard on this humdrum town today, but with our favourite rock behemoths rolling in tomorrow with juggernauts, private jets, hairdressers, liggers, dealers and roadies, I though I'd treat you all to one of my rare (and highly collectible) despatches. God knows how little old Perth will cope with the RAWK carnage that always attends the hard-gigging, groupie-shagging, satanic riffing monsters that are Belle and Sebastian. Especially after Thursday's election recount. If the Tories had won, we'd have none of this decadent rock 'n' roll nonsense here thank you very much. (It's at this point that I should warn you that this post will be quite random and indeed shite, but on the plus side, I won't write again for another few blue moons.) I agree with the sentiments of Mark Cassarole that it's difficult to get the requisite FLOW, so I thought I'd try the old subject headings in capitals style. FRIED FOOD (containing a lame joke) My loverly big brother is home for a few days, and he is proving preferable to the cringeworthy tv version. I made him a top-notch soft white bap with bacon and eggs and brown sauce for breakfast today in the greasy spoon style. As we both munched contendly on the artery hardening deliciosness, we composed a lame joke which I think should appear on Chewin' the Fat (Fwightfully Scotch comedy, dahling). Customer: Can ah have sausages on a white roll wi' broon sass please? Greasy spoon proprietor: Aye, no problem. Link, sliced or silly? Boom, boom. NEIGHBOURS IN PRODUCT PLACEMENT SHOCKER Has anyone else noticed that Tad Reeves has been drinking an inordinate amount of 500ml Sprite this week? At least twice in the kitchen at number 30 there was a gratuitous guzzling shot, and once in the coffee shop 'n all. Ramsay Street should be free of such corruption. GLASGOW GIGS Plaudits to Ally "Organised" Cook for the picnic arrangements. If someone could sort the weather out, that'd be grate. I'm going to be travelling from Perth on my lonesome (sob), so I'd welcome some company for anyone going to Friday's. If interested then sent me a message. Ta. I hope that Saturday's will feature a sizeable drunken mob to go en masse, post picnic. As I've said, I'll be bravely going on my own, so please feel free to give me a big hug, especially if you're a girl. If a bloke, then a manly back-slapping moment reminiscent of Iceman and Maverick in Top Gun will suffice. "You are still dangerous, Mav!". God, I used to love that film. Has anyone seen Pearl Harbor? Apparently it's got a really AWFUL bit (no, really) when flyboy Matt Damon or whoever whines, "Please don't take away my wings." Oh, the fromage is pungent. SORRY FOR BANGING ON, YOU MUST BE BORED See above. Righty ho, I'll boog raff soon. Think I'll get the horses saddled for a ride round the estate. Shoot a few animals while shouting "Save our Pound" in a Yorkshire accent. Johnathan David's a "grower" n'est pas? I thought it was a bit haphazard at first, but it's really rather nice. B&S do seem to have had a bit of a 60s obsession in their songs recently. MDR sounds good as well, but could do with more throbbing organ. (sorry) Hope to see some of you soon, enjoy the gigs all that are going.

09 Jun '01

ciao a tutti can I ask you a question? can someone give me the web address for the bencasim festival homepage? each time I try opening it an error msg appears saying that it's a forbiden page or something like that. I would really like to go there, I must confess I've never been to a festival, or actually I never camped at a festival for a few days. I imagine you meet loads of people there, and at least you know that they have similar music tastes as you !! I'm shy. but not shy enough to prevent you all from reading my stream of consciousness... I sometimes find that when i've already pushed the send button i would have liked to have posted a third of what I actually did. I guess I'm a bit too impulsive. it happens to me all the time in life too: i say\do something and as soon as I did it i'm wondering why i have... ;-) in the past few days, insted of studying i spent hours in transferring my mum's beatles records on to cassettes, so I could take them home with me and listen to them. it's a titanic venture. must go back to study now. if you haven't anyithing better to do hink about me mon. morning. i need a lot of luck! big exam!! dei baci Claudia _________________________________________________________________________ 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: Boulder to Birmingham (arrival at New Street expected roughly 20 minutes after scheduled time due to unevenness in transport policy)
by P F 09 Jun '01

09 Jun '01

When I heard them say your name, that's all it took. That's all it took to make me yearn for your embrace - I guess I might as well admit no-one can take your place. Yes, that's what I would like to say to Robin Cook. How appallingly he has been treated. What a brave face he must put on saying 'I was pleased to be summoned back to perform this nugatory role as Leader of the Commons'. Jack Straw as Foreign Secretary - jeez, we might as well bring back Douglas Hurd, jumpers and all. The jumpers, they might be the good bit. I've nothing against jumpers. I saw two Cary Grant pictures last Saturday. MY FAVOURITE WIFE starred Irene Dunne. Then I saw YOU CAN COUNT ON ME. This slow, understated film was fabulous. Its rootsy soundtrack made me want to go out, I mean, in, and write a rootsy soundtrack. My editor suggested writing an imaginary musical which doesn't exist. So we both went ahead and did it. It took no time at all. SLM said: >>> the quality of the posts iand the niceness of the people is what has made sinister strong. That's very true, except re. Peter Miller. In his case, it's the poor quality of the posts and his essential lack of personality that have made sinister weak over the years. In some ways, I feel that the one thing holding the list back from greatness since 1997 has been the mixture of slackness and unpleasantness so regularly displayed by the geezer Miller. He has let us all down time and time again. I have never understood why Honey didn't chuck him off years ago. >>> Oh, I had another listen to Jonathan David and maybe I was too harsh. How did you listen to it? I didn't think it was out yet. I knew I was behind, but I didn't know I was as behind as that. Come to think of it, I thought I was more behind. >>> Honey says it sounds like a Stuart song? So when Stevie sings it, it sounds odd. I don't know why you say that. When Stevie T sings Stuart Adamson songs I always find it strangely appropriate. It's the mixture of Celtic bellow and Canadian aestheticism that does it. That does it. >>> Or is it Stevie trying to write like Stuart? He needs tying down, that boy. What boy? Lloyd Cole's 'That Boy' needs not so much tying down as flinging out there so that everyone hears it and understands the genius of Lloyd again. Rhapsodic, that's my word for 'That Boy'. You can check the archive if you don't believe me. I always call it 'rhapsodic'. I don't know whether the geezer Stuart Murdoch needs tying down. I think he needs winding up. I am becoming slowly appalled at his apparent lack of output. How many songs has he written in the last year or so? Probably about 5 and a half. Feeble. Oh, and if he's reading this and doesn't like it, I'll be waiting for him with a feather duster outside the sub post office on fashionable Milngavie's high street tomorrow. Choose your weapons. I'll take Miller on too, while we're about it. Mucky pups indeed. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Sinister: I don't love anyway (yeah right)
by Ken Chu 09 Jun '01

09 Jun '01

Hello, Trish Brazil said: >>maybe i should opt for the life of ken chu and simply adopt a new name and reinvent myself - touring the country, living from one vodka and red bull to the next<< It sounds good, but then you also have to spend your entire life not being fancied by anyone ever, which isn't everyone's cup of tea, not mine anyway. I am leaving Nottingham in four days, I went to this club tonight, where this girl I liked goes to every now and then. She didn't turn up, so I won't ever see her again, ever, ever, hmmmm, life is great. Sarcasm is rubbish. I decided to make a difference and went to vote the other day, so I voted for the conservatives candidate cos he had the best name out of everyone, the labour person won with a landslide victory, oh well. My friend provided the guy at the voting place the highlight of his day cos his ballot paper thingie was number 999. B&S ish content =============== Sturan directed the video for Camera Obscura's new single "Eighties fan" and it's bluddy grate. It's all funny and strange and features some chef who Cooked in the year 96 and an astronaut spacestation Lander. It is going to be on MTV2 woohoo. The song is well good too, I played it five times in a row cos it's bluddy grate. What's even better is that you can buy it soon! http://www.missprint.org/parkandride/mhonarc/200105/msg00021.html The best things in life and Red Bulls Ken ========================================= 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: Snoochy Boochy Noochies
by Adrian Rudloff 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

Dearest You Lot, Welly well well, look who's been given a voice. The nursery was a nice place to start. Very wise to put padding on all the sharp corners (also, you're out of booze). I've been enjoying, and lurking by way of the archives for about 6 months. It's nice to finally participate. I'm a Merican living in L.A.(I'm already going to the L.A. picnic. This is my sinister persona. See if you recognize my doggy style:), but have actually moved all around including, London, Oslo, Cooperstown NY, Key West, San Diego, Darien CT and now Santa Monica CA. I forget who it is that's learning Norsk (Idyl?), I lived there 4 years, but went to an international school that spoke English, so I mostly just remember the swears. The best and most commonly used being (I'm spelling phonetically) Fee Fon. It can be shortened (the delivery is stretched out though) to just Faan (I think that might be the correct spelling). I have no idea what it means, but rest assured it's dirty. There, I think we're all up to speed now. I seem to recall Norwegeans drink quite a bit of Ribena too, only it's called Glug(sp?). They mostly drink it warmed up, and the adults put a lil somthin' somethin' in it. Norway was a wonderful place to live. I miss it. I've been saving up all kinds of things to say and comment on, so forgive the lateness, and longness. 1. Best Joke Ever: Whoever said the bee joke where the punchline is "fuck 'em I hate bees", that's my new favorite joke and the only one I have at the ready if someone asks me if I know any jokes. I was always at a loss in that situation, so thank you. 2. Archel read the Watchman: First time I read it, I turned the last page and flipped it right over and read it again. Did you know Terry Gilliam has had that on his slate to direct foreeeeeeeeever? So long in fact that I don't think it'll ever be made. I don't know if the hold up is over rights or what but it's been over 10 years. For awhile I was going around to every comic book store and cleaning out all their originals. I would put them together and give the complete sets to friends for their birthday. 3. For the guy who gave money to someone on a bus and was chastised for it: I work in an area that's full of homeless people and have to shut off, as I'm asked for money on average 10 times a day. The day I read that I was asked while eating lunch for some change, and gave him a dollar. That was your kindness that crossed the Atlantic.....and now I'd like my dollar back:) One of my favorite memories of living in London was on my first day of work, I went out to catch the bus and all I had to pay was 1, and 2 1/2 P coins. I had no other money. I was flat broke and counting on the few pounds I'd make as a waiter to pay for dinner and my ride to work the next day. I didn't know the bus wouldn't take copper and if I missed this bus I would be late my first, and likely last, day of work. The bus driver would not make an exception, and wanted me off the bus, when someone in line behind me said, "I'll pay for the man". I'll remember it as one of the nicest things a stranger has ever done for me. It's made me go out of my way to assist travelers. So don't discount even the small gestures. 4. ListCrush: I don't think I've ever met so many eTtractive people in one place. I've got the standard JenOwl crush, but I shy from competition and I'm worried she'll start to feel too much pressure from suitors, and post less as a result. JenOwl, you really should turn your adventures with the hard kids into a comic. GloomCookie is a great example of how this might be done. It's an excellent goth comic. There's an Isobel (cruel much? bitch) and a Sebastian (the monster under his bed keeps eating his girlfriends) in it too. OK so here's the deal on my crush, I saved a post a few weeks ago with the intention of replying, but hadn't gotten around to it. Then there was a post from someone recently that I also decided to save and write to because they made me laugh and sounded nice. When I checked my saved mail, I was suprised to see that both posts were written by the same person. Coincidence or crush? I choose crush, as I see no reason to get stingy with them now. I'm not supposed to divulge who it is though am I? It's prolly for the best....for I am hideous:) 5. (): You may be wondering why I use parenthesis even in cases when it seems odd. (It's a little trick I use to make the dear reader [you] feel as though I've taken you into my confidence). Email me privately if you'd like to know what I'm doing to you when I put you in brackets. 6. Books: Someone was asking for suggestions and I've got a couple of good ones. Alain de Botton has some great books on love. Someone's website suggested it as "for the lover on sabbatical" and I agree. It's insightful, analytical, and accessible without being cynical. He's a quirky author who loves using diagrams to illustrate a point. He's swiss, 32, and I believe teaches in London at a University...I mean University:) "The Romantic Movement" is my favorite followed by "On Love". He may be hugely popular in England and I just don't know it, so this could all be old news. In my opinion the man is a genius. I primarily read fantasy/scifi though, so with that in mind, Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series is the greatest adventure my brain has ever been on. 7. BigStu and his movie review: .....try to stay away from crappy movies, K? 8. Goodies: Does anyone have any old Viz comics they aren't using anymore? I'll trade you for something. 9. Cats: I'm a cat whisperer. 10. Randomness: I was watching the NBA finals the other day and I noticed all the basketball players were always pointing at things. Whenever they scored or dunked or did something well, they would point at people. I think I might start doing that. That's more than enough. I'll stop there. Nothing left now but hover, think, and send......perhaps they'll proclaim me their king. Squishings, Glurp PS. Just bought Dashboard Confessional CD's (both and the Drowning EP). I have a new obsession now. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Sinister: what i am not and what i don't want...
by Francesca Andreatta 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

Hi, I'm sad. tonight was the last dinner with the class. next week exams will start and after that I won't see any of the classmates anymore... we've spent five years together, and at the end what remains is simply hate. most of them were pretending to be completely drunk despite the fact that they haven't drink that much. just like any other year my friends were all upset and me too. I feel just like I'm losing something but I don't know what... I don't feel like studying, I don't feel like accepting that I won't see my lovely teacher 'the old philosopher' anymore... he was equally lovely and awful, but I will miss him, I know. and if I finally get through the exams I should start to think about what I can do later... awful in this period I really can't recognise people: today I saw a sister's exclassmate, and didn't recognise him, I remember him taller (well, last time I saw him I was 14 and it was 5 years ago). last week it happened with another person (maybe he's on the list. if you are then 'hi, yatsura!'). I was chatting outside a theatre after a gig and he showed up and said hi. I still feel guilty for the fact I didn't recognise him, I remembered him not so tall and with different hair... sorry to use the list for a sort of diary page/ complaint... I return to the lovely world. ah, one thing: I read a review about Alasdair Roberts' 'crook of my arm' and I was really curious about it. does anyone know something about it? bye Francesca +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: William? He was really nothing
by P F 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

I didn't spend all those years in the wilderness (literally - I advise on berries nowadays) not to think it fun to see the Conservative party routed, on the historically rare occasions when that happens. I wonder. 'We' 'thought' that '1997' was demographically, electorally, sociologically significant - a marker. A Nicky Marker, even. Then should 'we' not take very seriously what is almost a reiteration of that result? I mean, the virtual confirmation of the electoral landscape of May 1997. Poor turnout? I blame the voters. Congratulations to Dr Taylor. Cazza sent a mail with a wonderful, 'provincial' title, and made me think. It was thoughtful, that mail of his. Laura Llew said: >>> I hope everyone in Chicago takes this personally since I most definitely meant it as a slight, and I thought that was funny. She talked about 'Foxy Fields' too. Hey, Foxy, if you're reading this - mail me. Seriously. I mean, are we going to take sandwiches to Cookie's picnic or not? My editor has started going on about the Penguin Books Internet Caf� Orchestra Pit. Really. She just has this perverse streak. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: List stuff, please read
by Linda Kerr 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

Dear all If you are new to the list, or didn't see my previous message, please read. As sinister surrogate mother I have been worried recently that I am not carrying out my duties. The list has been getting some mails which make me nervous. Short posts are not necessarily bad, but too many and the list becomes fragmented, and people start sending knee-jerk reactions to posts, and then others do the same and the whole thing spirals. Thin end of the wedge. It does and can happen. There are a lot of posts at the moment, as I am sure you have noticed. This list is a bit different from other places - from newsgroups, bulletin boards and some other lists - and the quality of the posts iand the niceness of the people is what has made sinister strong. One list rule which I had forgotten is please, if you see something funny, please include as part of a mail, rather than just forwarding the mail. Similarly, references to gigs, replies to a small number of people. I don't want to get at anyone in particular (some older listees will be shaking their heads at this - heard it all before), but as new people join, sometimes we need to restate things. Honey has had lots of mails in the past, pleading with her to do stuff to stop some of the things which are now included in the list rules now, which is why they exist. A list is a very very delicate thing, and it can be so easy for it go bad, and this has happened on hundreds of lists. So please, please, think before you post. The mails are going out to over a thousand people I will be hiding at the gigs now...and I wish I looked like the bespectacled fox in the sillistrations. One day I probably will. Oh, I had another listen to Jonathan David and maybe I was too harsh. Honey says it sounds like a Stuart song? So when Stevie sings it, it sounds odd. Or is it Stevie trying to write like Stuart? He needs tying down, that boy.

Sinister: Scottish super band..
by Jeff Burke 08 Jun '01

08 Jun '01

don't know if y'all saw this already... from ananova.com Lightbody forms Scot superband Members of Belle & Sebastian, Arab Strap and Mogwai have teamed up to record a 15-track album. They have got together under the leadership of Snow Patrol's Gary Lightbody. The collective, which calls itself Reindeer Section, will release Y'All Get Scared Now a Hear! on August 6 through Bright Star recordings. They intend to make their live debut at T In The Park on July 8. Lightbody told NME.com: "It's all thanks to Lou Barlow in a way. He did three gigs at Nice N' Sleazy in January and everyone was there. I went around drunkenly saying, 'I've started a band called Reindeer Section' - I've no idea where the name came from! - 'And would you like to be in it?'" Apparently, Lightman was so excited by the idea of the combo that he hastily set about getting down to work, wrote 15 songs the following day and got everyone together to record them.
