18 Jul '01

Hello darlings Just found this, which might be of interest to you. I have to say I'm slightly worried at the prospect of hearing Isobel sing Billie Holliday songs... http://www.nme.com/NME/External/News/News_Story/0,1004,36724,00.html I'll write a proper post soon, promise.

Sinister: A session in my pants
by mummy i've grazed my knee 18 Jul '01

18 Jul '01

Not my session, their session. Struan said he did a Radcliffe session in just his pants. (his pants, not my pants) I broke my celibacy of non Belle And Sebastian records the other day. I only dipped my toe in the shallow end by listening to the Field Mice, but it's shows I'm beginning to get over Bellemania. TODAY IS FUNNY It's been a funny old day today. I was tired because I had a big day out yesterday. I went to Buckingham Palace to pick up my gold Duke Of Edinburgh's award and have a tea party. I know you all think it's just for poncy posh boys, but it isn't. Anyway, it rained the whole time and I saw Charlie Dimmock and Prince Phillip. He was being rude to people and I giggled. Today I ached, but I was woken at 9 by my parents who said there was a family emergency. Well, the long and the short of it was that I ended up at home on my own, having to cycle 6 miles for a job interview. That's not much fun when you have glandular fever and you already feel like you've run a marathon. There was a ray of light before this though as I opened my parcel. The post man had brought me a Study At Stow t-shirt that I won on ebay. It is very big but brand spangly new and exciting. I am still feeling weird. PICNIC This sounds like fun. If I'm fit, I will trundle down to the smoke with Mr. Hallifax and possibly Miss Feather Boa. Will there be anyone famous there like Stevie Trousers? WEIRD Do you all think I'm weird? People have been ignoring me a lot lately. I don't like coming across weird. I try my hardest, but I try too hard. It was especially bad when I met Struan. I wanted to try so hard because he was my idol, and I came across as some hyper-obsessive nut stalker type. What kind of nut would you be? I am a peanut. OTHER POSTS - I liked Sam Walton's pun, it made me laugh - Ken Chu has demonstrated to all the people who laugh at me for being scared of driving why I should be scared of driving - Priscila Moura - Belle And Sebastian are a duo aren't they? Chris Jones. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Hampers and Champers! Hurrahhurrah
by William McKenzie 18 Jul '01

18 Jul '01

Hello! I had the pleasure of meeting some of you at the Tacoma Radar/Camera Obscura gig. Err.. I was the one whisking Katie from Tompaulin around in a strange tango..? (If you're reading this, love ya, katie!) I was also kicking around at the post-gig party in Mell St, Greenwich. Hello to all who were there. You were a right bunch of silver-tongued charmers. This is my first post, and I must say I've been enamoured by everybody's winning way with a phrase. I personally find Marmite and butter are winners - particularly soaked into a lightly toasted bun. Has anyone else found, though, that your last slices of toast go soggy by the time you've eaten the first ones? Maybe there's a novelty skiffle song there somewhere, if not the beginning of a ropey observational flatsharing sitcom... Ahh yes, B&S. One thing that has really made me happy has been the list's international flavour. Hi to all, be you in Finland or US or Paris. I must say, however, that I have been gnawing things in jealousy at the news that the guys are playing in Brazil and the US. The great Sinister stowaway, anyone? oooops I'vejustbeencaughtbymyboss. hurrah I've found he likes Belle and sebastian. H'lujah. But I won't get cocky - I think its time to go. T-Pip Will PS: the subject line refers to Mr. Chu's great pan-global picnic. Well done Ken. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: She's llewsing it
by Ken Chu 18 Jul '01

18 Jul '01

Hello, Sam Walton gets a prize for making up worse "Chu" puns than I can, I haven't thought up what I'll get him yet, but I'll try and chuse something good. I went to another job agency today and done various tests to make sure that I am not an invalid. After almost proving that I was an invalid by setting my calculator to the wrong mode before realising, I seem to have passed, and apparently done very well on the data entry test, so maybe I'll get some work soon and not have to scrounge (as much). Woohoo. There are picnics galore it seems on the 28th July, is this the looming of another international sinister picnic day? I think everyone should picnic that day even if it's on your own, bring a stereo out to the garden a park and blast out B&S and stuff, grate! I was listening to Pocketbook Angel and Take your carriage clock and shove it, the other day, just wondered if anyone knows if Sturan had indeed worked in an office once and been sacked hence the bitterness? Or was it his mate who got shoved up the arse? Or does Sturan just have grate imagination? Warhammer is extremely geeky, and when you walk into the Games Workshop (where they sell the warhammer stuff), you are always greeted by a very patronising staff who is always very over enthusiastic about getting you to buy things. Oh crap I just gave away the fact that I've been inside.. I was 14 for God's sake! And only for two weeks... arrrgh. In the graduate fair in my University, believe it or not there was a Games Workshop stand, I laughed. Um I still haven't found a job, I sob. Brian Svensen said: >>... It seems that I will have the good fortune to be in Glasgow and Edinburgh this August and was wonderiong if any body could give me the names of any good haunts, you know' bars ect...This would be rather valuable information given my high regard for drink. << Apparently there is a nice pub in Glasgoo called the Saracen's Heed, I've never been in there tho. Steve S went through vodkabird (ooh er) to say: >> took the first three letters of our surnames and added 'Do' to the end. This annoyed him no small amount and as a bonus, I ended up with the name Sha-do. Cool eh? (oh come on! we WERE only ten) << I have always wondered why Bob Dylan was popular with girls in Japan.

Sinister: terror
by brenda milton-bradley 18 Jul '01

18 Jul '01

re: now..... i cannae remember the names of the 1 or 2 wee folks who have been mentioning sigur "gorgeous" ros's vocals - ie: the language of... But i do believe that he's playing silly buggers and making , er, "noises" of no specific language at all. kinda like that nice liz from the cocteaus then. so that clears that up. maybe. i don't know the band or anything so its not official, but i did see them live at the 1st Bowlie if that counts for anything! (yep. guessed not then.). shivery music though, doncha maybe think? in my shop a man came in on monday and bought our measly 2 copies of "sinister" and one of "fishyflaps" also, but he didn't get my A!C!E! (what?) sinisterine-style vibe so i let him go free without interrorgation.["brenda Milton-Bradley: putting the 'terror' back into 'interrorgation' since '73. or thereabouts"]. uh. i suspect he was dutch, though could be wrong. was once. HEY! does anyone else go mad for the white stripes? cuz they are rocking my world these last few months. IF you wanna try, i would recommend the newest one "white blood cells" cuz its got the most going on. but the real gem to track down is the tour 7" (pacific rim tour ie: japan, oz, nz) with the "pretty good looking" remix. and if you're going to the gig at london dingwalls i'll be the noisy girl at the front. i hope you will forgive me for my.... indulgence. its been a while, y'see. love to all, then Brenda ps. to the girl in the front row at RAH into whose ear i loudly sang throughout the show: SORRY! couldn't help myself! (but it was sweet of you to say i should get a rekkid deal.) xx ------------------------------------------------------------ . +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

by Katrina House 18 Jul '01

18 Jul '01

Belle & Sebastian have welcomed another into their fold as 'Belfast' Bobby Kildea joined the band yesterday. Bobby - who is also a member of Glasgow gangsters V-Twin and part of The Reindeer Section - has been working with the band as a session guitarist & bassist following the departure of founding member and bassist Stuart David. Bobby, one of the 'Jonathan David ' cover stars, is said to be relaxing at home with a fat one following a traumatic initiation ceremony. Following the successful 13 date UK tour which included a spectacular sell-out date at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Belle & Sebastian are appearing at the Benicassim Festival in Spain on August 4th and will announce dates for a West Coast U.S.A. tour next week. They have also been approached to play the Free Jazz Festival 2001 in Brazil and can now confirm the following two gigs, their first ever outside Europe and the U.S.A.: October 26 Rio de Janeiro Museum of Modern Art - headlining main stage October 27 São Paulo Jockey Club of São Paulo - headlining main stage They go back into CaVa studios next week to complete work on their soundtrack record to Todd Solondz's new film "Storytelling" - which has its UK Premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival on August 18th. The record is expected to be released along with the film in the autumn. Belle & Sebastian will also release another single in the autumn, featuring some of the new songs premiered during the recent UK tour. *** cheers, katrina. banchory press - management - merchandising http://www.banchory.net +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the long hot post of 2001
by Rachel Playforth 18 Jul '01

18 Jul '01

it is kind of long, i'm afraid. i'm the type who stores it up then spews it out, i guess. <archel inc. do not guarantee that perseverance with this message will pay dividends. the value of archel's posts can go up as well as down. your sanity is at risk if you do not... well, it just is at risk actually> CONTENT (out the way first) i think it was pez who mentioned the jd 12"... matt had a copy in his shop for me but i kept forgetting to collect it and now don't want to mention it again as it's probably so embarassing having a b&s record in a specialist hip hop outlet that they've 'lost' it in the basement. and can someone please send me a tape of the peel session? call it a late birthday present. or a hard-nosed business deal, i don't really mind. (though i refer you to the fact that under the terms of my laziness, archel inc. can't give you anything but love, baby. i suppose the company coffers might stretch to a mix tape, though the last sinister recipient of one of mine has been ominously silent on its merits...) (the following paragraph is apropos of something, but i'm not sure what now) there must be something about b&s and youth hostels... i well remember my solitary trip to the lakes last year... the kitchen staff were playing fyhcywlap v. loud and every so often i could see them dance past the doorway, singing along... i was too shy to say hi. MALCONTENT tom wrote: Why oh why do people think that putting marmite on toast permits them to omit the butter on that slice? The marmite and butter are unequally symbiotic, the butter may exist without the marmite but without butter the marmite fails to satisfy. exactly. this boy knows his stuff. some people are so odd though - i have actually had an ex-boyfriend shout at me (in genuine horror more than in anger) for buttering a slice of toast before applying his precious bloody peanut butter. because, apparently, 'it's already in effect buttered - that's why it's called peanut BUTTER'. twat. madeleine: simon armitage has a great poem about wisdom teeth which i can't find to quote but i'd recommend most of his stuff really. his collection 'cloudcuckooland' is quite shimmery. ( i think my literary recommendations would have more weight if i could remember if 'recommend' has 1 'c' or 2.) i'm going to drusillas zoo park with various bits of my family and random small children on saturday. i mention this only because drusillas (as i remember it from my childhood anyway) is more than a little twee. everything's so small scale, and there's a miniature train complete with tunnels and junctions, and all those kind of not-really-proper-zoo animals like llamas, tortoises and meercats. it's probably got it's own mcdonalds these days, but hey. then next weekend i might go to the picnic. i can combine it, you see, with witnessing the swan song/last gasp of the now defunct comedy troupe formed by university 'friends'. these 'friends' damaged my view of human nature (well, male nature in fact) quite considerably. but i might go anyway just to gloat. will i regret it and feel bad as their egos engulf me once again? or will i regret the baseness of my impulse to gloat and feel bad because of that? who knows? getting rid of stuff: my mum got rid of my guitar while i was at university, thus depriving the world of a great talent. heartbroken, i was forced to channel my genius into writing instead, so really we have my mother to thank for the towering force in contemporary poetry that i am today. <note to self: sarcasm when directed at oneself isn't as funny - in fact it just hurts, doesn't it? don't try that again.> right, i've even bored myself now. i might go and throw kitchen knives at these bloody seagulls. luv archel xxx *************************************** Rachel Playforth 'She may not be famous, but she's right' - Homer Simpson For the best in new writing on the web, visit www.buzzwords.org.uk Contact us on buzzwords(a)bigfoot.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: It's fun to stay at the YHA...
by steve peet 17 Jul '01

17 Jul '01

Err, I appear to be one of those saddos someone mentioned who get up in the middle of the night to post... actually I've just got in, but hey... Simon Armitage: I think I might have started this, so I'd better do the honourabe thing. The wisdom tooth poem is "For the Record" from "Cloud Cuckoo Land" - Matt Henderson - you should read it before you have yours pulled! All his poems can be read at simonarmitage.co.uk Jif on toast: Must be an American thing. You'd get a shock if you ate British Jiff on toast! I have butter with peanut butter, but above all I'm sticking up for Marmite. It's luuurvely. So nerr! Youth Hostels: I used to work for the YHA at Pen-y-Pass in Snowdonia and I too played B&S very loud in the kitchen. One of the girls who was there before me - Kerry or Ceri? - she was a fan too apparently. She moved on to a different hostel just before I got there, so maybe it was her who playing them in the Lakes? 'Hi' if you're on the list. The Aislers Set: Someone said they've been listening to them lots. Me too. They're smashing. B&S Content? Erm, they're smashing too. Right, back to the coffin before daylight.

Sinister: The cellulite film projectors of the soul
by ArtsyDeco＠aol.com 17 Jul '01

17 Jul '01

Greetings listees, Just a brief request from me this time and I'll be on my merry way. I have an idea for a mix tape. I am going to make it as if it were the soundtrack to some lost movie that never got made. I'm going to use music mentioned on Sinister(and perhaps some that isn't) and insert various friends of mine reading Sinister quotes as if they were lines in the movie. If anyone doesn't want to be quoted, then tell me and you will not be. I kinda doubt that any of you would have a problem with this, but I thought I should ask all the same. And if I finish this in a timely enough manner I'd like to enter it into the Llovely Llaura Llew Llmixtape Llchallenge.
