hello, am hoping that now i can perhaps post....*crosses fingers*, well anyway RAH gig was really nice :), besides the very amourus couple stood behind us, it was really great, as was the picnic and meeting everyone, less scary that i thought it would be....yes, um. When (whoever it was from Sinister) got up on stage, with her mates, i was shocked because i thought Morrissey had lost 15 years in age and my heart stopped - almost did full cardiac arrest when Sam's lady ( sorry i have so forgotten your name *embarassed*) thought it was as well...blimey, that was wierd....(<--more dots for your pleasure) My posts will be with little capitalisation, and punctuation because i am a lazy git, and its far to much work to check i have spelt everything in the right way and added all the dots and, well you know, all that malarky....(extra dots to make up for it). Most of you have no idea who I am, i won't make long post telling you, i'll plug my website - and the page about me, says it all.... http://members.tripod.co.uk/room237/index.html Just having got over sun stroke from monday i may venture back out into the land of sunshine today, i know, i know its a risk, but you have to live dangerously, where else can i read my book but indoors, i mean its just not worth the effort *tch* right, so hope i haven't bored you all to death and such like, hello to Jo with the sweets from the picnic, and to everyone else i met, hope i can get to another Sinister picnic while the summer is still here, although a wintery one would be cool *dreams of snowball fights and falling into icey puddles* toodle pipski lou/flamingkitties http://www.livejournal.com/~flamingkitties http://beam.to/flamingkitties +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Struan's Chest
by mummy i've grazed my knee 06 Jul '01

06 Jul '01

Oh no, I'm third in line to post! I'm obviously not as obsessive as everybody thinks I am. That's not true, I'm just also obsessed with sleep. Wow wow wowwy wow! I never thought anything could top Scarborough, but this was just amazing! How could Ipswich possibly stage something this good? It doesn't seem right. Well, I will try and remember some stuff that (hairy) Stuart, Feather Boa and Mr. Moore haven't already mentioned. We met in the main square and I went to fetch my new found friend Marianna from Christchurch Park. We sat and rambled while Stuart's friends arrived in drips and drabs. The weather smelled funny and it was sticky uugh and odd. I bought apple juice before I went in. There were not as many twee people as in Scarborough, but I expected that, and it made it nicer when I did see some. Hello to Stuart with his white boy afro, I was expecting it to be a white afro and (hairy) Stuart thought this was funny. I didn't. We hung around outside while Brian Appleton played. he was great, but once was enough. I got told off for ripping posters off the door. Our seats were right at the front in a sort of non-existent space. The whole audience stood up all the way through and the atmosphere was just amazing. I also saw people in the circle dancing across all the seats! I danced the whole time even though I'd only eaten a few chips. I sweated like never before and took photos like never before, so sorry to all those in front of me who I know I irritated no end with my constant flashing (and my picture taking too boom boom) The set list was quite different to Scarborough with My Wandering Days Are Over, The State I Am In, Mayfly, Slow Graffiti and that new one which I would guess is the Spanish sounding song from the Glasgow gig earlier this year. - Stevie will have sex for £2 - Struan has lots of muscles but is also very pale - I stood next to Beans' parents who turned around when I shouted 'Geddes' very loudly - Props to Elliott from Chicago for going to all the gigs (I believe) and for dancing on the stage - Props to security for not stopping any of the shenanigans - Beans was twirling and swirling, but so was my new friend Mick Cook - Struan has a 'camp pencil case' in which he keeps his medals for useful people - Isobelle danced like crazy during Gordon Is A Moron and it was just the most amazing performance ever, topped only by Don't Stop Me Now! Words cannot explain just how good that was, and Struan dressed as Freddie Mercury/Neptune was just grate super brilliant ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.....dribble........... - I got asked for Katrina's autograph and she said I was the first person ever to ask for it and she blushed and said no, but Neil said he'd sack her if she didn't, so I got his as well! This has taken on and off about an hour to write, but I have been involved in various emergencies, so I hope honey will let me off when she realises how excited I am and that I still have to get it all out of my system. Belle And Sebastian, I love you! Chris Jones. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Strawberry Wine
by P F 06 Jul '01

Summer's here and the time is right. Mooro: intricate bass - yes, I noticed this at the Glasgow gig - BUT I felt that he was kind of ruining it, missing out important chord moments etc. May be confusing this, though, with the disaster that was OMISSION OF F CHORD IN CHORUS OF 'THE WRONG GIRL' WHEN PLAYED LIVE. Let the 'band' produce a "spokesperson" to explain THAT fiasco. Ipswich - somebody tell me what it's really like. There's probably an ep to be written about Ipswich. I was thinking of going myself, but I wound up making endless photocopies in a thunderstorm, and walking home through the city centre thinking, London in the summer - yes, despite everything, I like London in the summer. It makes me think of Madonna jogging in 1990, and 'The Power' drifting over the back walls. Why did those folks in the estate always play their music so loud? It was loud to me, so how loud can it have been to them? Weather fine. Duller today but still lush and humid. John McEnroe: Classic as commentator. Never heard anything quite like it, not even in the more in-yer-face world of footy. Spiky and intrusive, but intelligent too. He even mentioned 'my old pal Andres Gomes' the other day. Loss of Capriati: awful. Surely only dolphin boy was happy with that. Music everyone should go and rediscover: aspects of solo Macca / Wings. 'Tug Of War': best melody of 1980s? Just think about it. VENUS & MARS LP: magnificent title track only about a minute long, and 'Magneto & Titanium Man' = [yet another] early 'BWTAS'. Pinefox country CD now a collectors' item and one of a kind: have accidentally screwed up computer and lost files. (I mean 'lost' rather than 'destroyed', but it comes to the same thing at the moment.) I say, Honey, auction for $5000 at George Jones gig. Make luxury Edinburgh apartment improvements on proceeds. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Sinister: I Like This, This Is Good, Nice And Cosy
by David Moore 06 Jul '01

06 Jul '01

Hi All, So. Ipswich. Better commit a few highlights to paper before another shite day at work erases some details. My seat A12 (at the end of the A12) was nowhere to be seen, having been removed, so I had to content myself with leaning on the front of the stage about 6 feet in front of Stuart, Stevie & Mick. I think I was actually hearing them sing rather than via the sound through the PA. The sound generally was great, all instruments & voices audible. A bit of an end of term atmosphere at this the last gig of the UK tour, the boys & girls on stage having fun. So you get Isobel pogoing during the band backing John Shuttleworth as Jilted John performing that Gordon Is A Moron song, Mick leaning on Stevie whilst both rocking out on guitars during Legal Man, & they closed with a version Of Queen's Don't Stop Me Now led by Sarah (it was her choice on that Beat Patrol programme), Andrea (?) the flautist in a glittery Freddie Lives tee-shirt & Dervla from the string section. This number also saw topless Stuart striking Freddie poses in a tinfoil crown and pretend cape, with a stick on moutache & the top half of a mic stand. There was a new song called The Season Has Arrived. They played The State That I Am In. Stuart took his black polo shirt off after dancing around with Stevie Dreads during the Jilted John song & talked about his nipples showing above his guitar. During Legal Man whilst playing his Phil Lynott perspex bass he stepped to the edge of the stage, turned around & laid back on top of the crowd. (Well, me & the people just to my left) Chris & Mick were dancing like mad during Woman's Realm - Chris even did a twirl. Stuart & Isobel awarded medals (from a glittery silver pencil case) to the crew & even to some of the kids who had been regular attenders. They were athletics medals (Stars Of ......?) with "B & S Trooper 2001" on the obverse. I never noticed before that Stevie plays great intricate bass on The Model. I finally got to see Richard gurning. Mmmm. Knackered. Setlist & then to bed: Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie There's Too Much Love The Magic Of A Kind Word My Wandering Days Are Over Mayfly Jonathan David Slow Graffiti The Model Don't Leave The Light on Baby (Gordon Is A Moron) Dog On Wheels The Boy With The Arab Strap We Rule The School Family Tree The State I Am In The Season Has Arrived The Wrong Girl Womans' Realm Legal Man Don't Stop Now Goodnight, David Moore Chelmsford, UK +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: pictures of me on your bedroom door
by Kyla Schuller 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

Hello! Unfortunately, this post contains no toplessness. But thank you to all for the vicarious living of the last few weeks! i can only hope that this fall will bring a US bonanza, with excited americans posting all sorts of nonsense. but no ribena for us, please. so this list is quite an interesting thing. i am quite pleased to have joined. it seems to strike a mighty sword at a curious problem. i mean, art and especially music have such a tremendous and personal impact on its audience, and it quite seems to shape and transform and make sense of our lives, but as audience and viewers, we are curiously unable to do much but consume said art. which is really weird to me. now, i see nothing wrong with consumption itself, (as opposed to my wannabe anarchist days), mostly because there seems to be no way around it. the problem seems to be when it is done to great excess, or in mindlessness, or without a proportionate amount of production that makes one feel less like a big ol' grouper fish sucking in all that it sees swimming by. but me, (as an uniterested example, of course) i am wholly unmusical, cannot even whistle a tune properly, yet music is a tremendous force to me all the same. but i have no way of interacting with it save blathering and dancing along. but this does little to counteract my feeling of, wow, there's this huge part of my life, but my only way of participating in it is to consume consume consume. but then sinister seems to me to solve a bit of this. the gig reviews especially. suddenly, we are not passive listeners, we (ok, not me at all.) are roving reviewers, critics gallanting off to wonderous places to make friends and spin personal worlds out of impersonal art. this wannabe indie kid i once knew thought he had the perfect way of illustrating the production/consumption art paradigm. he ate his photographs while walking to his class. so when the prof asked for submissions, he grinned, "i just ate them." which is completely pitiful, but i'm a bit impressed all the same. but i try not to be. in other news, i must agree with all who dare say that the new single is more than a bit pants, but i for one, sunroof, steven, am still enamored with 69 love songs. not that i can make myself listen to it much anymore. and thank you to grainne, for if you click on the business card offer at the bottom of her mail, you will find nothing less than a business card with a color photograph of two white male suited hands in firm handshake! and it can be your card for your fictional job for only $4.95! we may not have b & s tours, but at least our capitalists are of the finest sort. in sinisterese, kyla __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: don't stop us now, oh wait...the tour's over.......(ipswich gig!)
by stuart hallifax 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

hello Sinister! following our successful attempt at being the first to post about the scarborough gig, we thought we'd try it again for ipswich. lovely gig. bizarre standing arrangement meaning the first 3 rows were non-existant. prize-giving ceremony, like at school, for all the roadies and people, who got to hug isobel! (in her nice blue shirt and piano tie). they all got little medals like you win at 5-a-side football competitions. struan TOOK HIS TOP OFF! lovely! played a couple of songs topless - chris jones looked as if he was about to faint. and he took all 36 photos on his film before the grand finale...... 'don't stop me now' by queen. with STRUAN DRESSED AS FREDDIE!!!!!topless, wearing a moustache, cape (well, a towel draped over his shoulders) and a pretty silver crown, which he threw into the audience. other highlights: -the band doing 'jilted john' by jilted john, with jilted john (AKA brian appleton) singing while isobel, struan and a roadie jumped about and did backing vocals. -fireworks!!! a bit a shock for everyone - especially the band. loud bangy confettiness at the end of legal man. - slow grafiti (which was double nice cos we asked struan to do it at camera obscura), dog on wheels, state i'm in and the new one thats not 'i love my car'. -additional medals for the fans in the front row who'd been to all (or almost all) the gigs! -struan taking off his top. did we mention that, oh yes, we did. but still, eh. nudge nudge. shame isobel didn't follow suit. :o) -struan changed the 'ten biggest wanks'line to something about travelling up the A12 to ipswich. and promptly forgot the rest of the verse. -richard's comedy painful facial expressions. -stevie's elvis impression -especially in legal man (feather boa wore her elvis t-shirt especially, ahhh!). and his random apologies and rants. bye bye stuart h and feather boa. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: ooh! get me away from here, I'm rambling...
by Tom Pettinger 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

Jim jam ya-HA! (for those not in the know, that is the name and call of a fierce combat without contact martial art, used by Commander Harris*) So, thats it. Finished. No more B&S gigs in the UK until...quite some time. Sob sob sob... However, Sinister continues to be full of excitement and inspiration and fun and sauciness and haribo so all is not totally lost. Now we have much time on our dainty, twee hands (OK, so some of you have jobs but come on, it's summer, you won't be actually working or anything) I think we could have a wonderful, happy, friendly picnic. And then, we could skip merrily along and beat the living s??t out of those nasty, brutish, moronic swines who hurt JENOWL. And write "sinister" on the pavement next to their limp bodies in ribena...heh heh heh... To the person who said they couldn't connect with B&S because the songs are unrealistic, you're obviously not looking at the world through "Belle and Sebastian Twee-Goggles", you can borrow mine if you like but return 'em fast, the world's a mighty frightening place without... Unless you happen to come into contact with Slipknot. I was going to picket Slipknots tour, by the way, with a sign saying, "if you really want to scare us, play some good music" but I realised a) they can't read with those stoopid masks on, and b) I would most likely get my corduroy-clad ass/arse** kicked, probably by the very same muggers of Jen. Sorry, did someone say they liked slipknot? Oops, er... run. :-) Someone mentioned Hello Kitty. Phew! I thought I was the only one. But don't forget H.K.'s counterpart, Karupi! *Commander Harris is a friend of the Rottentrolls. The rottentrolls is a childrens TV program that is (or used to be) on channel 3. It is by far the most funny and ingenious production on the face of the earth, and you are all well advised to watch it whenever you can. If not, check out the website at www.rottentrolls.co.uk or something like that. On the site it states that their guestbook is "back, and this time it's sheep proof." I'm sorry to say that this has a lot to do with me... maybe another time...) **this indecisiveness is becoming terminal, soon I'll be buying neopolitan ice-cream... can Sinister please decide which is to be used? Maybe a hybrid, asse, you pronouce it "ass-sa", y'know, kinda french... It's been nice to write to you on this occasion, I may do it in the future. Corduroy boy Tom. P.S. Hope you're feelin' fine soon, jenowl. P.S.S. Hope you're hayfever clears soon, idles. P.P.SS.P.SSS.PP: For those of you innocent of Haribo, a word of warning from a recently made mistake, sourmix is fine and so is starmix but STAY CLEAR OF KIDZ MIX, it's a ploy to make you buy all the crappy horrible sweets that nobody likes. The packet is absolutely full of disgusting Jelly Baby imitations.

Sinister: oh i do love to be beside the seaside....
by Desmond Torpey 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

hello there.... ...i have been absent for a while (probably a blessed relief for you all) but i had to break my silence to write about the wonderful fantastic splendiferous time that i had in Bournemouth....i wasnt expecting it to be that good to be honest...i thought that the poor wee lambs would be quite tired and the second last gig doesnt have quite as much glamour or meaning as the last...but good god in heaven they decided to play an absoloute *wow* show and it was certainly the most fun gig i have ever attended... ...getting there was almost as good...dragging along two unwilling freinds (whos total knowledge was 'that song from teachers') and eventually converting them by the end of the night...well...sort of...we refunded our hideously expensive coach tickets about an hour before we left and threw caution to the wind by catching the smallest bus in history through all these tiny little west country villages for �5...past ancient stone monuments surrounded by sweaty tourists...through miles and miles of eerily empty feilds and finally to Bournemouth on a VERY hot double decker...i ate a ridicolusly spicy pizza proceeding to burn my mouth away and then we played 'chase the tide and see how wet your feet can get' for a while...and then, filled with alcohol and giddy excitement, we proceeded to the pavilion...i was greeted with the sight of a large twee army camped on the steps of the theatre...i really felt like i wanted to hug every one of them and scream 'you love them too!'....but i didnt...i was too scared...but it was a lovely sight all the same...there was badges,courdoroys and multicolured scarfs as far as the eye could see...by this point i was feeling quite ill with anticipation so i had to smoke quite a lot to calm my nerves...taking our seats delightfully near the front the lights dimmed and we were greeted with the sight of one brian appleton...who...frankly...was a bit crap...but it didnt matter and i still loved him for it (it was that kind of night)...and then !HUZZAH! on they came, launching into 'le pastie de la bourgeoise' with gusto...stuart looked very smart indeed in his grey trousers and didnt stop grinning all night...isobel looked mildly bored all night but very nice all the same...by the time they started playing 'theres too much love' two girls at the front were up and dancing and pretty soon the entire theatre was out of their seats and grooving like lunatics...stuart made lewd comments during 'the model' about breasts for which he profusly apologised for in a very sweet way...'slow graffiti' was gorgeous and stevies voice on 'jonathan david' was magnificent....there was a spot of schoolboy style mass whistling halfway through and stuart declared that bournemouth 'was really nice and posh, you feel like you're on your holidays'...for the cover they rejected calls for 'bring your daughter to the slaughter' and instead played made a lovely attempt at loves 'alone again or' for an engineer called roger which would have sounded ace in any circumstances but one of my favourite songs ever being played live by possibly my favourite band ever was ludicrously great...other highlights were definatly 'the state i am in' ("riding on bournemouth city buses") and an unexpected 'you made me forget my dreams'...i'm guessing the newest song, as has already been suggested, is called 'waking up to us' and from what i can remember it had a few different parts but was still quite poppy and with a prominent string section, i cant compare it to anything else because it sounded really fresh and different and bluddy marvellous...but the undoubted best part was actually getting on stage and dancing during 'womans realm'...there was kind of a rush towards the front and i just found myself clambering up with about twenty other people onto a really precarious wooden platform type thing...i hope i didnt elbow anyone in the face in my eagerness...everybody was dancing and you could feel the wood underneath juddering in a scary way...there was one poor security guy with a tetantive hand checking the vibrations in case the whole structure collapsed...just to add to the tweeness of it all i nearly stepped on somebodies inhalor so i carefully placed it on the side out of the way on dancing feet...i hope the owner recovered it and didnt have any B+S excitement induced asthma attacks....in the end i think the whole lighting structure was in danger of collapse so we had to get down...but then they finished off with a absoloutly brilliant 'legal man' which i've never been that keen on but hearing it played live with fantastic amounts of percussion it was a wonderful way to finish the set...we had to lay on the beach for a while to get our breath back afterwards and see if stevies promises of a beach party were kept...if it happended we couldnt find it but it didnt matter because it was just fantastic...i got home at about 1.00 am, emptied the sand from my shoes and fell asleep...i still cant get over the fact that i was up on stage dancing in the middle of a belle and sebastian gig....it was a marvellous day... ta ta... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Snoop Doggy Dogg? Needs to get a Jobby Job
by Matthew Henderson 05 Jul '01

05 Jul '01

Hello everyone. I doubt there will be much content here, so most of you can just move along to the more interesting posts about gigs, picnics, and wild, sexual behavior. What is the deal with everyone getting a job all of a sudden? I don't much care for my job. Sitting behind a computer all day is rather boring, especially if one has nothing to do. I can never find very interesting stuff on the internet, although seanbaby and the onion give me brief fixes of enjoyment every now and again. Waiting outside the Dufnermline gig all those weeks ago, some sinisters (too shy to talk to them) mentioned something about the only people who read all the sinister posts must sit at work and surf the web all day with nothing better to do. Well, I suppose I'm one of those people. I miss my job at Blockbuster. Sometimes I think about going back, but then I realize I just don't have the time. Although it did kinda suck having to watch *NSYNC and Marc Anthony videos ALL DAY LONG. And the general populations poor taste in movies ("Do you have any more 'Double Jeopardy' in?")really pissed me off as well. I rediscovered the joys of sitting around the house and doing absolutely nothing last weekend. I had so much fun doing it, I took Monday off of work. I did the same thing yesterday for the 4th, it was phantastic. My advice to all those looking for jobs, don't get them. Who needs money anyway? Somebody is going to see the Magnetic Fields, and somebody else is going to buy the new Rufus Wainwright. I enjoy the new Rufus Wainwright, it's pretty. They were both scheduled to play Wotopolava with the Pet Shop Boys, which I had tickets to, but it was cancelled. I was told it was cancelled because of Sinead O'Connor pulling out and marrying a guy, but I think it really had something to do with ticket sales. Are there enough people in America interested in the Magnetic Fields, Rufus Wainwright, and the Pet Shop Boys to warrant a festival tour? Oh well, more money to spend at that unreasonably expensive Radiohead show at the end of the month in Atlanta. Joe is having problems with friends. Joe, I'd me more than happy to be your friend, but I probably wouldn't be a very good friend since I'm about as nerdy as your other friends and I live 3,000 miles away. I wish I could be a better person. I'm kinda mean to my friends sometimes, it's actually a wonder I still have any friends at all. I just really moody sometimes, and everything they do pisses me off. How do I stop this from happening? And as for music being the soundtrack to one's life. I find that I like to listen to something to help me through rough times, not listen to something that is only going to make me feel worse (although sometimes I do anyway). I listen to belle and sebastian because it makes me feel happy. It makes me feel better once I listen to it. Sometimes I hope to live in a Belle and Sebastian world. It seems sweeter, nicer, and less complicated. Maybe it doesn't, I don't know. I'm gonna stop writing about that. I watched some of MTV2's Revenge of the Brits yesterday. Everytime I turned it on it was either Travis, Radiohead, Craig David, or a Rolling Stones video. Shouldn't there have been more? Woah, I've gone on way too long already. Sorry everyone, sorry Honey. -Matt "I don't know if you've been keeping up with current events, but we just got our asses kicked man!" _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
