Afternoon chaps and chappesses, I've been looking round for albert hall reviews and can only find this one from the nme: http://www.nme.com/NME/External/Reviews/Reviews_Story/0,1069,8383,00.html not bad but they're right about the sound especially if you're down the front. Didn't stop it from being one of my favourite gigs ever. Hi to every one I met and talked to there and at the picnic. Not much to say today I'm afraid, so I'll depart Cabbagexx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Into your arms (of sex)
by Madeleine McNeil 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

**B&S in Birmingham - Madeleine offers some advice** Oh, Isobel, Isobel, what were you thinking, flower? Red, pointy-toe, kitten heel sling-backs and black and white stripy ankle socks? Sack your, stylist, woman and get yourself some sensible flip flops. Although I did admire your skirt and top and no matter how large people say your arse it, it's still a lot smaller than mine. But why were you yawning so much? Boredom or just good old rock'n'roll exhaustion? Either way, you could at least have *pretended* to be having a good time. And Stuart. Stuart, Stuart, Stuart. Honey is right, you really do have arms of sex. You in your tight white t-shirt and smart trousers (also, not sure about the shoes, though) with your funky dancing. Your lovely Scottish accent and your endearing lapses of memory. And you're such a tease! When you pretended to take your shirt off..... oh my! And Stevie, you're cute as a button, although you shouldn't fiddle with your ears and glasses so much as it makes you look nervous. But your big deep voice in Legal Man was very impressive and your singing in Jonathon David was better than the record and everything. You dancing girls.... what can I say? It was certainly the first time I've ever seen people hand jiving to The Wrong Girl. The rest of you: you were all right too. It was a fantastic night, as James said in his earlier post. The theatre was old fashioned and huge and had photos of luminaries of British theatre and television: Peter Bowles, Edith and Rene from Allo Allo, Maureen Lipman, Lionel Blair and various others who have had bit-parts (sorry, *cameos*) in The Bill and Casualty. Beer was horribly expensive and there was a smell of sweaty people in the air. Sadly, people were not allowed to stand and have a little boogy. If they tried, a lady in white shirt and black bowtie politely asked them to "Sit the FUCK DOWN. RIGHT NOW!". Or something. **I've just realised that James and Stuart have already posted about this, so I won't bang on too much about it all** The set list was: Le Pastie Too Much Love A Peel song that I don't know the name of I Know Where the Summer Goes My Wandering Days are Over Jonathod David Slow Grafitti (which bought a tear to my eye is was so perfect) The Model The Girl's Got Miraculous Technique Interlude: Heroes Young Boy Smile (this is whst my notes say (?)) Twattybus You Made Me Forget My Dreams Family Tree Mayfly New Song The Wrong Girl - (can't read notes) Legal Man The sound was perfect and pure. I was expecting it to be a bit dodgy, as things are when played live, but the quality was often better than the studio recordings. It delved into your chest (and don't even think of putting your innuendo hat on, ken) and tugged on heart strings and stomach lining and made my face tingle with the purity of it all. Sorry this is so long. Well done for getting this far. Big shouts out and nuff respec to Stu, who at under 8 ft was something of a disappointment (ken.... don't even think about it!). He made me giggle and drove us all home which was amazingly kind of him. James, who is too cool to ever be afraid of a snake and really should have been allowed to strut his stuff in the aisles. And Danny and Dale, the Canadian Contingent, who are not Sinister, but now truly understand the maening of the word 'twee' (appartently, they don't use this word for Hello Kitty devotees in West Canada. How odd). I could go on and on and on about this all, but I won't. I'll just stay indoors and talk to myself about it. Oh, and enormous thank yous to Ulla for the sillistration (no. 41 on the web site). It's beautiful and I'm very touched. Could you send me your address off list so I can send you a little gift? Smoking fags and walking on air (which is harder than it sounds) Madeleine xxx _________________________________________________________________________ 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: about reinder section
by Nini Kay 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

Hello, it's been a while since I've posted my last and only mail in the sinister mailing ... hmmm reasons are boring but I started a new job and couldnt spend all day writing and reading emails ... I'm writing because I try to answer the Reinder Section question ... i think it is Mick Cooke from the Bells who is in it because he's the very one who plays the trumped. I will definately go and have a look because it all sounds quite good and interesting. I havent had time to go through all the mails in my inbox but I hope all my customers go on a long, long sumer holiday so I can read them all!! There were probably many mails about the great gig in the Barrowlands and I would like to add how much I enjoyed it, specially because I was waiting so many years to see B&S life! I was quite in the front bit of the crowd, I have heard that the sound in the back was much better ... I didnt really care because I still thought it was so good and I just wanted to SEE them and as I'm not 6ft tall I just had to head to the front! Anyway I was standing behind this pearl-harbour-army-kind of dressed up guy (no clue WHY he was dressed up like this)who wanted the Rod Steward cover "Your so Sexy ..." ... which was quite funny and it was priceless when Chris gave his glasses to STuard during the Proclaimers cover ... Ye, it was a good, good night. I didnt go to the artschool afterwards but to 13th note because it was closer and they played Legal Man which made us dancing like crazy chickens! So that was me, almost, when we were in this pub in the city centre we saw Stuart and Stevie and my beloved "man" couldnt resist to go and say hello and telling Stuart (because he was at the bar)how much he appreciated the gig ;-) love tigermilk -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Birmingham - the Rio of England...
by Gardiner, Stuart 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

Well, James beat me to getting the first Birmingham gig review to the list, but hey, I always prefer to come second. (That sentence was specifically included for the benefit of Dale) Another day, another sparkling B&S gig. The Alexandra Theatre is conveniently situated between The Foundry on one side, which was hosting a goth / skatekid nedfest at the time; and a strip club on the other side. Where did the band go after the show? Place your bets now... Inside the theatre, it was hotter than a vindaloo in a microwave in the Sahara. But the walls were decorated with pictures of past performers, including Sid Little and Eddie Large's autographs, and Lionel Blair on top of Maureen Lipman. Which you don't see every day. The auditorium went up and up forever, hence Stuart announcing after the first song (Le Pastie, introduced as being "A song about a cake") that he'd have to play the rest of the gig lying on his back so everyone could see him; and the band later worrying about whether they had bald spots which could be seen from the upper circle. Stuart then went on to talk about how he was bullied at school for having a bald spot from the age of 12, and how he wished all the other kids had now turned completely bald. I didn't make notes as I went along as to what the setlist was, but it was more-or-less the same as the previous nights, with a few alterations. Slow Graffiti made an appearance (despite Stuart fluffing his lines), as did Mayfly. They also played You Made Me Forget My Dreams, which Stuart said he was very nervous about because they hadn't practiced it. Stevie's voice has finally revovered, enabling him to reach the high notes on Jonathan David (not an easy task, as anyone who has tried singing along in the comfort of their own room will know). The cover in the middle was Heroes by David Bowie; for once noone accused them of planning and practicing it beforehand, and Stevie apologised to any Bowie fans at the end. Stevie also announced that he wanted to have kids, at which point Stuart said by the time he was old enough, they might have invented a way for men to have babies; and Stevie replied "Adoption?". At another point, a large Scottish flag was draped across the front of the stage by someone on the front row; prompting Stuart to talk about how he wasn't into all the SNP Scottish independence stuff; not least because if Scotland was independent, England would permanently be ruled by the Conservatives. But the big news: another new song! Instead of I Love My Car, they played a different new one; a Northern Soul / Motown style song all about a relationship coming to an end in a not-very-amicable fashion. Stuart said they hadn't decided on a name for it yet; I'm wondering if it's going to be the new single? It would certainly sound good with a 40-piece string section behind it (the string players on stage were going at it all the way through), it would be a lot more logical choice for a single than the time-signature-morphing I Love My Car, and the name confusion would explain the delay in confirming the details of the new EP. And David Moore and others will be pleased to know that it's another song which is absolutely impossible to sing along to, Stuart almost sounded like he was yodelling in the chorus... The atmosphere wasn't up to Scarborough standards, partly because the stewards refused to let anyone dance in the aisles, even by the end of Legal Man only about 10 people were stood up. But never mind, the sound was good and the band played really well. Three girls were dragged up onstage during Wrong Girl and again during Legal Man to dance (and received their disco dancing medals); half the audience were jealous, and the other half felt sorry for them because they looked so embarrassed. It was too hot in there to do much dancing anyway; Stuart even suggested at one point that the band and the audience should all take all their clothes off to cool down, but he chickened out... Post-gig, the bar was already shut (at 10.15!), forcing us to, erm, go to the pub instead. And then 5 of us took an impromptu tour around the sights of Birmingham looking for a chipshop (the city mysteriously appears to have more lap-dancing bars than food outlets), before getting the hell out of the city. Let's face it, there aren't many places in the world that make Preston look glamourous. Well, that's my gig-going over with. They're so much better live now than a few years ago; it's the first tour where loads of songs have sounded better than they do on the record (Legal Man, Too Much Love, The Model etc). Here's hoping it's not another 3 years until the next one!

Sinister: I'll lend you two hundred quiiiiid....
by John Jennings 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

Thats the first time i've quoted from a song, thus abandoning my original and meanlingless home-made subjects.... aaah well i'm too tired... sorry and all that.... Also sorry because this is another one of those 'gig and picnic' emails so i'm sorry about that as well. especially to you lovely americans who are all being very patient... i 'spose you might not be being patient and might be unsubscribing as i type. so sorry about that as well.... i'll try and make it as interesting as possible for people who weren't there.... honest i will.... Everyone comfortable? right then i'll begin. *Piiiiicniiiiic* (the overly excited way of saying picnic) I spent about half an hour... maybe more... of my sunday walking round victoria park looking for twee people... i phoned james and he pointed me in the vague direction.... so i stumbled over in that direction and eventually found them... and then the fun *really* began... erm... ok well thats when i sat down and got my ribena out. i played a couple of chords right on a guitar.... and quite a few wrong... and then we chatted about lots of fun stuff... and madeleine got a text message from ken... who would have been there apparently... and we were all disappointed that he wasn't.... After the picnic i ran home (in the car) and worked out how to get onto #sinister which they were talking about at the picnic.... and it worked but i was a bit scared by it..... *Giiiiiiiiiiig* (the overly excited way of saying gig.... duh!) The gig the next day.... yesterday in fact.... ooh well what can i say that i haven't already said?... it took us a good couple of hours to find the theatre because birmingham is really horrible to get round...and there are home and away posters everywhere.. also it was quite bizarre and a bit surreal because me and becky (non sinister.... eek) were at the merchandise stall thingy... i was buying the place out... and we turned round and there were madeleine and danny... which was a bit strange but that wasn't too unlikely to happen was it?... but then when we sat down in our seats we discovered that directly in front of us was james.... which was even more bizarre and a lot less likely to have happened methinks.... but t'was grate that it did... sorry we didn't see any of you lovely people afterwards... hope you enjoyed it (forgone conclusion??) Anyway Stuart said that he wanted to still be part of Britain and we all cheered.... And Stevie Is Pregnant apparently... or did i misunderstand that? Stuart replaced the word 'hell' in i know where the summer goes with something about birmingham... not quite sure what... but we all cheered anyway... Stuart forgot the words to slow graffiti and we all cheered..... Three little girls danced for them and Stuart gave then each something at the end (jealous) and we all cheered.... I took lots of photos when the security guards weren't looking and the girls in front got told off for it .... hehe... sorry... but i got loads of graaate photos... you'll see them when i get then developed.... Set list was the same as everywhere else except no 'fox in the snow' or 'lazy line painter jane' they did 'you made me forget my dreams' instead which was lovely. It began with 'Le Pastie....' which Stuart said was about a cake (??) and finished with 'Legal Man' which i previously disliked quite a bit but now love (l...o...v...e.... love dum de dum).... So thats that... Happiness all round Ooh needless to say i didn't go to school people who were worried about that...

Sinister: The wonder that is Danny's label ball
by DansonHatcher＠aol.com 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

Well that's it, my weekend of all things B&S has come to a close for now and it was a thoroughly wonderful weekend. Picnic. Saturday It was the first time I'd met any other Leicester sinisters and a jolly nice bunch they were too. In order of appearance we were , Danny, Helen,Madeleine, John, Tom and two other's who I did'nt catch the names of, sorry, but were very friendly all the same. It was'nt any huge event but the frisbee flew and conversation flowed with subject's as varied as Honey being a bloke to Tom's amazing home-made flares to a mystical place called The haton beaver. and it did'nt rain. Sunday. I had three Email's that day asking for my spare ticket but I could'nt reply in time so.. Outside WH in Leicester station was the place, five pm was the time. Two excited people and one nervous one who nearly did'nt come where on our way to Birmingham via Narbrough to pick up Dale. got to Brum and found a cosy little pub amongst the towering grey blocks, within which we meet Stuart who Madie is disappointed to see is not the tallest man in the world that she was promised then realised I'd still got to find my ticket a home so a dash to the theatre entrance found lot's of possable new owners, upon advertising the tweepop ticket I was met with mumble's like (in brummy accent) "fook uf ya coont" In heinsight they were quite scary looking metalheads but it was worth a try I had a grate seat in the theatre about five from the front and there was even some people behind that I knew (Tom and party). so that was good. The songs I can remember were,in no particular order .... Boy with the arab strap Is it wicked not to care Johnathan David Hero, was the request My wandering days are over The model My girl's got miraculass? technique Mayfly The wrong girl, I think? Then at the end they played legal man and the place exploded into a mad dance floor but with seats in the way and the party pooper I sat next to would'ent let me past so I was confined to wiggling about in the seat and clapping alot rather than setting the aisle's alight with some funky moves (baby!) After a couple of after-show drinks in the best pub in Birmingham and finding the long route to the chippy we all sqeezed into Stuart's car and pointed it's nose toward's Leicseter. Some very interesting Canada/England comparasums came up on the back seat of Johns car. (that's not an inuendo,ok Dale) Like, over there a sun roof is a moon roof, explain!. Strip clubs,their customers,the art of stripping and job's with big responsability like writing speeches for the government Once back in Leicester Danny offer's me the use of his settee for the night. I was really grateful,ready for bed and quite sleepy. Quite sleepy.......... right up until I found out the room was also occupied by a snake! Oh well it could have been worse, at least it was'nt a spider cos then I would of slept on someone's Sierra in the street. But I did sleep quite well actually so thank's alot Danny. If you've read this FAR then you're an absolute STAR.

Sinister: All Talk, Not Much to Say
by David Moore 03 Jul '01

03 Jul '01

Hi All, I don't know anything about The Go-Betweens & suspect Shoot The Sexual Athlete to be replete with G-B's references. Someone In The Know should enlighten us all. Where is 96 when you really need him? Come on Cookie, fill us in. "TURN THAT ORGAN UP" Hmmmmm, what hasn't been said already on the subject of the RAH gig? It didn't impress as much as Saturday in Glasgow, but I know that is my fault & in now way the band's. I had to rush to Kensington from an upsetting day at work centred on going to say farewell to the 3 staff I had had to make redundant. I was gabbling on about writing them excellent references (I *can* write good references - I made a bloke cry once with what I said about him. He *was* a lovely feller though) & how they could ring me if they had a problem, & there they were being really sweet telling me to look after myself & not work too hard! They don't have a job at all today! Anyway, where was I? Therefore I didn't really get into it until about halfway through. The latter part of the setlist ran thus: The Final Countdown (Europe cover - instrumental) The State I Am In Simple Things The Boy With The Arab Strap We Rule The School Family Tree Mayfly I Love My Car The Wrong Girl Woman's Realm Legal Man Lazy Line Painter Jane Everyday People (Arrested Development cover) What else can I remember that hasn't been covered already? I think Mick trod on Isobel's toe at one point & then had problems with his flugelhorn during one number (blocked?) He also played piano on one song towards the end. Isobel's Dylan print dress/short cardie ensemble was cute. She did look very hot & bothered & had to remove the cardigan towards the end of the set. Well done to Lorraine, Florence & Dancing Boyfriend for their performance, for not freezing when they looked up to see 3,000 people looking back at them & to Florence for shouting "Sinister!" a couple of lines into the song. Statler & Waldorf from The Muppets were played by Andy Symington & his flatmate Sean. Stuart was cross the Royal Box was empty & said they could have done a wee Sex Pistols song for its occupants. Shame, I would have loved to hear him sneer "We mean it, maaan" Richard was enclosed in a little greenhouse. I can never see the labour pains expressions as his face is always hidden by a cymbal from the right of the stage. Sarah plays the recorder with one hand during TBWTAS. Belfast Bob plays the bass really hard: you can tell its him playing without looking by that crunching sound. Well done also to the RAH's security. I never had to show my ticket to anyone: its probably still in my wallet. And we could take photos! (Or at least Vicky did) I hope they come out alright. Big Stu (or should we call you Loud?) - they played The Stones' "Dead Flowers" after the gig finished on Saturday: was that the one from Preston? Good song. I spent a long time wondering whatever got me into country music in the first place but remembered recently that it was the Keef/Gram link-up. BTW Neil, I don't know what *tape* Stu was on about. Really. PICNIC IN THE PARK Good idea to sit where you can enjoy the view (albeit more crowded than in Turner's day) rather than in the Café garden behind the hedge. Saturday's Picnic Mum is very clever (& organised: even bringing black bags for the rubbish. A well brought-up girl) Honey reckoned the two old ladies sitting on the bench behind us that she & Vel chatted up were the stars of the event, but I think Lixi's brother Phin might have been (before he keeled over). Shame on anyone who encouraged him to drink too much for their own amusement. The Pinefox & le Troussé debated music in masculine and feminine terms but P F demanded fresh words. Later in The Spitz Katrina said she always thought The Pinefox was a woman and Joe was pleased. Then he became a basket of cobras when the DJ played The Smiths playing "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others". It wasn't the moment to ask him for his views on the decline in the standard of Morrissey's lyrics that that track was supposed to epitomise. "WHAT IS THIS SONG ABOUT?" I thought Camera Obscura played an excellent set & the new songs sound good, boding well for the album. Can't wait to hear the one that Gav sings in the style of Stephen Pastel on record. Jim Purple Trousers made me dance! And to bloody Legal Man as well. Good thing I wasn't wearing killer shoes :) LISTCRUSH Props to the upright & true Carsmile Steve for reminding us of the correct way of using the listcrush system: i.e. give your crush on the basis of well-written posts, so as to maintain an excellent standard, rather then just to crush on those who you want to, er, who you fancy. PEACOCK MAN I stumbled into the Looper site recently & its changed again. Peacock Johnson is writing the next album with Evil Bob. There was mention of a Stuart David story appearing in Dazed & Confused: can anyone shed any more light on this, please? There's also a sweary message board at http://www.geometrid.co.uk/disc3_frm.htm . Peacock would apparently do Belle anytime. His thoughts on B&S: "I've heard a couple of Belle and Sebastian records in my time, and I'll be honest with you. As far as I'm concerned, son, there's fuck-all that could save them. Let alone make them anywhere near great. If you added some electronic noises all you'd end up with would be some limp-wristed ham-fisted teenage wank, but with some electronic noises added. " "Turn Looper into Belle and Sebastian you mean, son? Surely there's enough of that limp-wristed wank about for gay fellows like yourself to chug themselves off to?" Bless. I think that's more than enough for now.

Sinister: hooRAH!!
by Hugo Shannon 02 Jul '01

02 Jul '01

This will be a shortish post... main thing - london gig was great! i think i might have gone to the wrong picnic. the majority of the few people i dared talk to (no one was scary or less than very nice though) seemed to be from the jeepster forum, and i went off to a pub with them before saying hello to anyone else. so hello now everyone! i did get to shake stuarts hand and play football with him briefly (my inappropriate attire and lack of fitness soon forced an early sit down), a memory that i'll try hard to keep. i didn't recognise him till he introduced himself in a scottish accent - oops! i then spilt his ginger beer over his laminate but i think i got away with it. i think there were a few more of you down at the front of the stage on the left hand side - so hello to you too! the lady who got up for a blinding rendition of the state i am in with her dancing chums asked if anyone had a photo. i stupidly didn't bring a camera , but i think the gig was being filmed. i hope so because i want the video for christmas. goodbye, hugo _________________________________________________________________________ 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: SEE US MAKIN LOVE ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
by Christiaan!! !! 02 Jul '01

02 Jul '01

That's the reason why Drill Instructor loves to fight!! I started to make a post but I clicked the wrong thing and deleted it. Oops! Sweet little bumble bee.. Oh, loved ones. Not long ago I decided it was time to leave the castle and venture out upon the world. Yes, I miss the jewelry, the hot pieces of ass serving me "strawberries", and the chocolate toast and pancakes. However, I am a growing princess; I need my independence, and it was just not to be found with mother and father constantly dressing me in oppressive evening wear and dragging me off for supper with some silly royals. Besides, what satisfaction can I gain from my possessions if they are not truly my own? Not much, I must say! So, late one night I began silently slipping my most essential belongings (clothes, candy, cookies) into our large, white carriage. It took nearly an hour! Oh, was I tired! I wrote a simple note and left it in front of my beloved parents door: "Yo! Mama! Papa! I be getting outta dis muthafucka. Wazzah! Eat my sparkles, biznatches!" And I left! I met up with my traveling companion (the lovely Miss Ree Elia) outside of the castle gates, hopped in the carriage, and toodled! We journeyed for nearly half an hour before finding a suitable (and affordable-- my purse was stuffed with cookies and candy, not money!) living space in the nearby kingdom of Ann Arbor. Well, let's hasten the story: we settled, we ate, we finally got internet access. Hurrah! And it's not just any internet access-- it's OUR internet access! No help from Mum or Pa! I decided I've had enough time to settle in, that it's time for me to settle back into life the best I can. The first thing on my settling agenda? Why Sinister, of course! I missed you little bumpkins! Of course, you didn't seem to miss me! Thank you for ignoring my birthday! Kiss it, huh! Except the lovely Miss Millkmaid Llew who is just always so beautifully lovely and fine, Mwah! Oh, well, now! There are other reasons I'm writing you, you know! The other day I was walking down the street and I met our own Stuart Murdoch! I asked him, "What brings you to Michigan?" He replied, "Aye, I be livin' here, mate." To which I answered, "huh?" "Aye, I be the vicious pirate Blackhook Barnaclehead!" IT WASN'T STUART!! IT WAS A PIRATE!! Quickly I reached into my purse and pulled out my EVENING GOWN +3 PIRATES!! and put it on even though it squishes my bosom! "HA! Try to get me now, pirate!" He lunged; I easily swung away, simultaneously drawing my Broad Sword +1. I offered a blow in return, but no! I rolled a 2! Critical miss, I dropped my sword! "ARRRGHGHG I GOTS YE NOW!!!" screamed the pirate! He picked up my sword and ate it!! How could he! The nerve! It was a gift at a cocktail party, the finest +1 Broad Sword I've ever seen!! Well, he came at me again, but I was having None Of It. I threw my +17 ruby slipper at him and landed a solid hit on his ear. He died! So anyway, I thought I met stuart but I didn't really. Oh! One other thing I meant to tell you guys!! It is this: WORD SEARCH!!!! C R A C K R M P R M H Q T T P S L O O I R L H A O U S O U L I I N O P D R P S L S P R I N C E S S K T U R T L E E U E M I R M K O C Y L G A A A I L A P P L E I A D T C V I W E H D N B R S K J B N E F See if you can find these words: HONEY PRINCESS CHRISTIAAN LIP RAD CRACK TURTLE REE MILLKMAID APPLE POOP SOUL PURSE ROUSS TRICK SULLEN AND WIN THE GRAND PRIZE: LOVE AND AFFECTION FROM ALL!! Hurrah!! Oh I do hope you are all well!! xo Love, Princess Christiaan PS: *********************************************** * Mad Props to: Princess Honey!
