Sinister: untainted love
by Rachel Playforth 04 Jul '01

04 Jul '01

dear sinister, so much to tell you/bore you with (delete as applicable). i finally got to RAH! on friday after a challenge anneka style dash up exhibition road with ailsa shouting instructions/abuse down the phone. it was far too late to picnic, but not too late to have people stare in frank horror at my hair. once everyone who was likely to recognise me had done so, i sloped off with The Boyfriend Who Prefers Looper and The Best Friend Who Likes Drum N Bass to get some drinking in before the main attraction, shouting rather rudely at carey and martin en route, i seem to remember. we then bought snacks from a bizarre international store which sold oreos, twinkies and hershey bars. mmm. once ensconced in the red plushness of RAH! (which was somewhat like a womb) i felt a bit civilised and awestruck and sat regarding the sea of twee for a while. just as i was wandering down to the front to say hi to some sinisterines, the band suddenly came on and i was trapped there! a mere stone's throw (note clever JD reference...) from the stage! ailsa, liz d. and i were kindly (and fortunately) made room for by big stu's even bigger long lost american twin, so then had only smoochy couples and excitable schoolgirls to negotiate. B&S were... well, we all know how great they are. they were a lot more polished than i'd been expecting, but not in a bad way. the songs they so wonderfully played, in an entirely incorrect and probably incomplete order (me not the band) were: le pastie de la bourgoisie too much love dog on wheels the wrong girl mayfly my wandering days are over miraculous technique simple things family tree jonathan david woman's realm i love my car the state i am in (feat. the hodottir and friends) the boy with the arab strap we rule the school the model lazy line painter jane everyday people some notes from what would normally have been the mosh pit: - stuart wears a white short sleeved shirt with shop crease still in it, and has an approach to dancing more enthusiastic than rhythmical. later, he refers to wanting 'to smash something up'. he does indeed rule the school. - stevie is suffering from a sore throat, but stuart helps him on the high notes in jonathan david and the wrong girl. ahhh... - mick gives great lip. his way with a variety of horns is certainly impressive live. - chris seems surprised, though happy for a day, at his respectable vocal on the arrested development/sly & the family stone cover. - isobel looks anxious, bob dylan looks enigmatic. her voice does not carry very far, though the ungenerous (ailsa) are probably happy about this. - richard is cordoned off behind a screen (bulletproof perspex, maybe?) to gurn in peace. - sarah sits on the floor for much of the time it seems. - monica queen looks like a mischievous schoolgirl in her plaits, but sings like a true diva. - percussion eggs are widely and reverently employed. maybe they're trying to hatch something. - the brave and beautiful sinister Voice does us all proud. (though i do worry that her name means 'daughter of ho' in icelandic...) unfortunately i had to leave straight after, without saying goodbye to many of the starry-eyed sinisterines in attendance. i did get to see a dramatic police convoy on the way to victoria though. was it b&s, under protection from a crazed steven wells? (well, no, unless they'd all disguised themselves as black middle aged men.) like hannah, i felt kind of wrong later. somehow going to work on monday was even worse than usual, and i kept wanting to shout ' hey, i was at the royal albert hall on friday you know! having a transcendent if sweaty experience! don't you care?!' i did consider sitting around in a cafe and forming a band instead. but that would have been stupid. coming down... 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: Birmingham is, er, lovely
by dr nick morton 04 Jul '01

04 Jul '01

hello kids! My habit of lurking for two years at a time means that almost none of you will know who I am, but hello to you all anyway. I thought I should sneak out from under my Sinister-stone to tell you how bouncy I am after the gig last night. Partially because I met Stuart!!!!! ... but more of that later*. I am a little perturbed that most of you non-Brummie types who braved the city seem to have gone home with a really bad impression of it. I can only suggest you come back and I show you all the *good* (well, less bad) places to go! (and booo! to all those who playfully suggest that it should only take a minute or two). The gig was very cool, not sure I can add much to the reviews that other people have already given. I left my original seat to sit with my cool but non-Sinister friend Hannah, way up in the distance in the impressive-sounding Grand Circle. We had half a row to ourselves up there because everyone sitting next to her had left suffering from vertigo. Seriously. The band played beautifully, they seem so much more confident and at ease performing these days. Little shivers ran down my spine as they played 'I know where the summer goes'. Afterwards we hung around for a while, wishing there was a beach to head for and trying not to attract undue attention from the studded-collar types queueing for the rock club next door ... and whilst we hung around having a drink at the Victoria (behind the theatre) and wondering what to do next, we suddenly realised that there was Stuart!, carrying boxes and packing equipment. He waved at Hannah, so we walked around the other side of the building and went over to say hi. I'd like to think I maintained some semblance of calm and saved all my burbling and rambling until afterwards, but I probably didn't. He signed my '3 ... 6 ... 9' poster 'to Nick and Hannah' and then added ' ... but especially Nick' when we explained that we had separate posters :). Fascinating facts we gleaned: they wanted to play Brighton but weren't able to arrange it for this tour, but next time round (whenever that may be) they intend to go there, and Liverpool and Newcastle too. And with that he left, looking for the rest of the band. When he finds them, I hope they'll play Birmingham again too. After all, it's probably better than you think!** returning to lurking again ... love Nick ~~~ * that was a device to keep you reading to the end. Sorry if you feel cheated :) ** please note, I may be wrong. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: a section about Reindeer an' ting
by Charlie Farley 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

To the French gentleman and the other people who've said/asked things about The Reindeer Section, I have this to say - yay! The album is exceedingly good indeed, although it's sadly not out til August. If I was clever and knew of such technology, I'd be naughty and put the whole gosh-darned thing online. But I'm not. So I won't. (I will, however, point portentiously to my e-mail address above, for totally unrelated reasons of course.) The full line-up is this: Gary Lightbody & Jonny Quinn - Snow Patrol Aidan Moffat Arab Strap Willie Campbell, Charlie Clarke, Gareth Russell & Michael Bannister Astrid John Cummings Mogwai Colin Macintyre Mull Historical Society Bob Kildea V-Twin Jenny Reave Eva Richard Colburn & Mick Cooke Belle & Sebastian Gill Mills & Andrew Meehan Hercules So...two B&Sers and a V-Twin...lovely. The bulk of the album sounds more like Snow Patrol than anyone else, but they've gone lovely and psychedelic all of a sudden so that's definitely a good thing. Basically, the principle is a Scottish/Irish version of "You Have Been Poisoned By The Serpents" which came out a couple of years ago and assembled a similarly motley crew of (predominantly Welsh) people from the Super Furries and Gorkys and suchlike, to make strange noodly music. In other news, B&S at the RAH were lovely, as has noe been said a thousand millino times on this list so I won't bang on. A fair few peeps I went with left vee disappointed (bad sound, bit of a shambles, pricey drinks,whatever) but I thought the whole thang held together fabbily well. Was gutted they didn't play GMAFHID tho, but I retaliated by singing it ALL THE WAY back to Tottenham Court Road on foot (buses are rubbish). And even the oddly disjointed "Jonathan David" was kinda endearing. Extremely jealous congrats to The Hodd for being asked to sing onstage. Would've shat meself personally but somehow you didn't! I think *you* should now form a band (if you haven't already...) just so you can then invite Stuart onstage to sing one of *your* songs as a mark of respect. Or something. Forgot about the picnic on Saturday. Feel very silly. Boo. *And* I didn't get any badges due to not even noticing the merchandise thing even though it was apparently really enormous and obvious...so if anybody got a spare set I wouldn't mind arranging some arrangement... Oh, and a couple of peeps asked about the Jonathan David video again, so here's the link: http://www.now.com/mp3tv/feature.now?fid=1891152&cid=1688986 There. Bye! ttfn xox Charlie ps. very late indeed I know, but isn't "Nalda Said" just *enchanting*? pps. any Leicester Sinisterines going to the Summer Sundae this, er, Sunday? If not why not? Laaaaambchoooop...Tuuuriiiin Braaaakes...ummm, and a nice park and a pretty memorial thingy with flags made of stone! Best go now.

Sinister: could the new song be...?
by hyde kevin michael 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

I was just thinking, after reading Big Stu's post, that the song they played in Birmingham might be "I'm waking up to us". I remember Struan or Stevie had mentioned it in that little blurb from the beginning of the year- the one about them having the same producer as Petula Clark. And if I recall correctly, the band said it had something like a 25 piece backing orchestra. That might be wrong, but there's a good possibility that was the song they played... I had wanted to ask if anyone else on the list from the States was going to the Neal Pollack Literature and Music festival in Philadelphia. Dave Eggers, Ben Greenman, and Zadie Smith (to whom I am engaged, without her knowledge) will be reading, and quite a few bands will be playing. I only ask because it might be nice to have some sort of coterie of Sinister there- to fight off the Journey fans these things inevitably draw. Also, again, much thanks to those of you who take the time to diligently transcribe all the excitement from the gigs and picnics for those of us who must be absent. *IF* B&S ever decide to come to east coast U.S., I promise to do the same. last- note to Ken Chu: I saw a product called "Blue Ox Energy Drink" in a local convenience store yesterday. an embarrassment of American adaption. horrible. someone told me that they *do* have Red Bulls in the states now, just not everywhere yet. we're so weird. OKay. off to my job- taking tech support calls for WebTV. last week's highlight: explaining to an 89 year old man how the shift button works.

Sinister: freud would say that I really wanted to run her over. that's why he was a genius.
by Richard Gillanders 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

'manhattan murder mystery' was on television recently. and it just served to remind me of just how much I really actually like woody allen. I forget frequently. I haven't smoked in a while. I had a cigarette last night. after watching juliet binoche attempt suicide. and I heard two cats fighting. and I was glad that it was dark. and that my night vision isn't. good. I was tidying my room and I found a piece of paper under my bed. it had 'I want to be the hero of my own life' scrawled on it. and I wondered when I had written it. and I was watching 'the cider house rules' [kinda] while I was tidying. and then. yeah. tobey maguire started reading the first chapter of 'david copperfield'. as I read somewhere. somewhere. the reindeer section was dreamt up by that gary lightbody guy from the snow patrol. and he had dreamt it up at a lou barlow gig. and after he dreamt it up he went about recruiting musicians from the audience at the lou barlow gig to try and realise his dream. and the thing I read somewhere said that members of astrid are in it. and members of idlewild would have been too. if they could have made the sessions. which they couldn't. but. that makes sense. because I saw lou barlow playing a while back and astrid were supporting at one point. and idlewild at another. point. and I told the wee guy from astrid I had seen him on 'young, gifted and broke' [a late night television programme with a low, low production value and of little interest] he seemed insulted and denied it. I told him I was sure. I later realised I had actually seen him on 'loud TV' [a late night television programme with a low, low production value and of little interest]. quite a different show. but. I had had a few drinks. also. one of the guys on the door that night asked if I was 'in the band'. I asked him if I looked like I was in the band. he shrugged. I saw him again later and told him of my new plan: that he should tell everyone he saw that I was in the band. especially any nice young ladies. that he saw. he shrugged again. so I shrugged too. now. the people from belle and sebastian who have been doing this reindeer stuff are: mick cooke, richard colburn and 'belfast' bob kildea [who was called a 'member of belle and sebastian' in the thing I read somewhere. but other people will say 'v->twin'. so so will I.]. so. and they're playing at nice 'n' sleazy's? or they have? I thought about thinking about going. or I think I did. but I've missed it? probably. maybe it's tomorrow. I'll think about going. and an album. it's going to be called 'ya'll get scared now, ya hear'. and I don't know if that's a good idea or not. and they'll be at t in the park. and whether that's a good idea or not... it doesn't sound like a bad thing. the thing. but the names that were chosen are not too. nice. to me. but...what's in a name? being in #sinister recently and noting that the 'topic' was advertising an mp3 titled 'the state that lorraine is in' I was intrigued to the point of downloading. and listening. my, my. how impressed! I was. what a brave young lady. she kept her cool and recalled lyrics and called out 'sinister!'. had I been in a similar situation I'm sure I wouldn't have even attempted the notes that lorraine achieved. I would have kept to the two notes I know I can produce. notes. or maybe they're tones. anyhow. well done. to lorraine. the hodottir. an eastside [of scotland] picnic is in the works. and it sounds like it might be a whole lot of fun. I received a letter recently advising me that I don't have enough credits to proceed to the third year of my course. worried. I phoned a friend who reassured me that everything would be fine. and hopefully it will. be fine. I mentioned 'brno' last time. and someone said it was cheap. that's what my friend said. or says. 'we'll live like kings!' he repeats. and we might. I might. if I manage to get there. gosh. this rambled a little more than I had intended it to. sorry, richard. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: I fell down the stairs - I wished I were DEAD!
by Clarke, Sarah J (EU) 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

A TRAIL OF DEAD!!!!! (that is!) Hoooray! The oldies are the goodies, eh, chaps? Belle and Sebastian eh, Belle and Sebastian. It all seems in a state of flux, I can't seperate the gigs from the venues and the people from the band and the band from the percussion section and Richards pained expression from constipation! Still, the Albert Hall - you can't say no. Preston Guildhall. Wheesht. Yes. Steve sez: > so small). Also the "stars in their eyes" style ripple of > applause that > greeted the start of Family Tree, seemingly initiated by > starry getting a > bit carried away, which reduced ms alder to a helpless > giggling mess for the > rest of the song. INDEED! I may have been a little mean to Isobel in the past, but I take it all back! She's damn well wonderful! Family Tree was one of the highlights of each show I went to - honestly, I've not been more amused since first listen to the lyric mentioned in the subject line! I mean, Low, fantastic amazing album, but that line is defintely COMIC MELODRAMA MOMENT. I fell down the stairs of my flat once, when I had "yer slippers too big"* and wished that I didn't have such telltale bruises all over my arse, to tell you the truth. But anyway! Even better than the two Ronnies! I now have nothing but undying enthusiasm for Isobel, I even want to do her lovely hair!! Of course, sometimes I want to slap the "eyes to the ceiling too good for this" expression on her face that she puts on whenever someone does a better job at singing than her (pfff!), but a playful slap! A bit like Elekids playful punch in the pokémon trading card game. Elekid is a good card to have! I did indeed start the applaws to Family Tree. It was BRILLIANT. Me in a cage, with a bottle of rage, indeedio. I know JUST what she means. Don't try and sneak into the tiger cages in Blackpool zoo with a bottle of zoider chaps. Me and Isobel, we KNOW what it's like. Thank god for that bottle of rage else we may never have got out aloive.. Well, *I* was in the tiger cage, Isobel was probably in the fluffy bunny cages, STEALING THEIR EARS to wear as a chest wig!! I mean, I mean, stroking them, that is what I mean! Steve - never stop the dancing! ONE MORE TIME! Oh yeah! Alright! Right, I'm off. Didn't we have a lovely week, the week we went to Barcelona? Love, Sarah xx * Please please please someone make me a cd of Yer Feets Too Big, please please please someone keeps telling me the lyrics and they're just too good to be true! I need to hear this! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: A single to Selly Oak please, and make it quick.
by Tim Hackett 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

hiya, It's the year 2001, so it must be time for another post... I saw Belle and Sebastian! Twice! and I don't care if lots of other people did too, I was/still am very excited. And on saturday I climbed a mountain in the hot wastelands in the back of beyond (or souff london) to find lots of sinister people having a picnic, so I popped my cherry. A cherry lollypop that is, and anyone thinking I was referring to anything else can go and wash their corrupted mind out with soap. The picnic was great - it was very nice to be able to put faces to all the famous names at last, even if I was humilialted in the football match by losing a fight with a particularly violent tree. Big Stu said of Birmingham: "Let's face it, there aren't many places in the world that make Preston look glamourous." and with Struans hell/birmingham mix up (he must have forgotten the lines again) I am going to stick up for Brum. Yes it has got lots of concrete, but it is concrete with style (ahem). Just step backwards from the Alex, and towering majestically behind it is the marvel that is the rotunda. Now, where else has got one of those I ask you - I am sure Brian Appleton would agree with me. And the Belle and Sebastian T-Shirts were 2 pounds cheaper in Birmingham. However, I did prefer the Albert Hall gig. Yes, the sound was much better in Birmingham and "You made me forget my dreams" was brill'yant, but where were "We rule the School" and "Lazy Line painter jane"? Stuck somewhere near Willesden Junction no doubt. Ben Apps said in a kind and caring way "I hope you got home OK Tim." which is the cue for a big rant about the state of public transport in this country, the stability of double decker buses going round roundabouts at speeds that I didn't think double decker buses were capable of while fully loaded on the top deck, long walks in ill fitting doc martins and the CID stopping a suspicous looking character for sitting down at the side of the road at 4am, coincidentally opposite a house that had been broken into a couple of hours beforehand. Apparently I might have been "coming back for more". But yes, I did get home okay, thankyou for asking. Enough of this jibberish already, Sweet dreams, tim.x +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: my turn
by Hewitt, Stephen 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

ello babies I'm pretty certain it's been a fair old while since i did one of my really gushy posts about what a lovely weekend i had, and how you are all so super and ace and everything, and i think i can feel one building, but first a couple of things about the session. sexual athlete = pavement, shurely? i have no recollection of anyone else mentioning this, yet it was my first thought once stuart started singing... magic of a kind word = rhoda, sort of, when yr singing it to yourself, or indeed listening to it through a door. Speaking of which, I hereby faithfully promise to update the "songs that belle and sebastian songs sound like" list very soon cos i've got quite a few of them hanging around (it's here: http://www.geocities.com/carsmilesteve if anyone doesn't know what i'm talking about). John J just said: Three little girls danced for them and Stuart gave then each something at the end and OOER MISSUS (in rememberance of the late hattie jaques) i thought. then the big man just said: the string players on stage were going at it all the way through brum has obviously brought out the double entendres in you.. ANYWAY, my weekend was absolutely superb, after a slightly dodgy "hold on i hardly know anyone at this picnic" moment when we arrived on friday and the comedy walking 20 mins to find an offie and then paying effectively pub prices things got so much better, even when the pub cabbage was looking for disappeared. The gig was, as you may have already have heard, rather good, mrs carsmile was even impressed. We rule the school was my personal highlight (interesting word change, "NC was here" rather than "NC loved me"), closely followed by lazy line painter jane (lungs so large for a lady so small). Also the "stars in their eyes" style ripple of applause that greeted the start of Family Tree, seemingly initiated by starry getting a bit carried away, which reduced ms alder to a helpless giggling mess for the rest of the song. The inevitable massive !P!R!O!P!S! to la hodottir for her rousing performance and also to the person down the front who shouted for "ease yr feet into the sea" and then said "i went all the way to aberdeen and you didn't play it there either", "erm, come to ipswich, we'll play it there", was the mumbled, somewhat embarrassed response from our struan. Speaking of whom, we now have a pic of him with his top off playing footie, at least ailsa ross does. To follow this with a day of sitting in the park, drinking and nattering with some of my fave ppl ever was good enough, but then to follow that with even more drinking and dancing and watching more bands with some more of my fave ppl made an old man very happy, although will someone *please* tell me to stop dancing and behave like a grown up next time, especially when i start punching the air... Will i ever learn? apparently not :) anyway GRATE big hugs and kisses to everyone i met over the weekend (especially mr cabbage for letting me watch the peanut hugging on saturday, and also sally moore and sam walton for being good picnic mummies), really this is a very very special group of people and i want to give honey and linda a huge big sloppy kiss for putting up with us all and looking after us and just bringing us together in the first place. xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: re: reindeer section
by daragh lynch 03 Jul '01

good morning sinister, it was strange to read frederic meysonnet's post enquiring about the reindeer section, because i was going to post the exact same thing this morning! you see the reindeer section are playing tonight in aunty annies in belfast, and according to the posters, its their debut live performance. according to the posters, the band is made up from members of b&s, mogwai, arab strap, astrid, v-twin, snow patrol and mull historical society. it sounds like a veritable glasgow supergroup. sounds good. has anyone heard them? what are they like? i think it should be a great night, but some of my friends need convincing. oh yeah, there's also a reindeer section magical mystery tour of belfast at 2pm which, although it sounds intriguing, i've missed because i've slept in. oh well. take care, daragh _________________________________________________________________________ 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.
