Sinister: godspeed, you purple panda
by Kirsten Kenyon 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

work has been slightly entertaining the past few days, as there was a purple-haired clown on a unicycle yelling through the window at us and also a couple of 15-foot-tall men with hands larger than my torso trying to put their arms around me and take a photo. we also had something of a euro-explosion at work today and some girls were giggling at me in polish and there was a french girl with lovely purple velvet pants. on an unrelated note, two english boys laughed and called elizabeth a bloody wanker because her nametag says "wanker" on it. i made it for her when i was angry at her one day and she wears it because she thinks it's funny. hahaha, elizabeth. ooh that was not very nice. *Priscila Moura and i are possibly fighting over Tony Doogan...and i've apparently been drinking bull semen by the gallon so watch out ;) ;) ;) last night i went out for tea and it was something of a party because a girl in a pretty pink dress had just published a book of poems and everyone was inconspicuously drinking something that was either blueberry koolaid or absinthe, and pavement was on and it was cold outside and i drew a picture of a devil eating a pie. i've just spent an hour with ferrets crawling all over me and trying to eat my hair and now i feel that i need a bath. please excuse me keep your stick on the ice luv kirsten Care2 make the world greener! http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The State I Am In (Brazil!!)
by Juliano Nobrega 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

Hello all. It's been hard wacthing this much going on and just listening. Especially with all this don't-go-west-go-east discussion. What I love about it is that they're going (or coming) south, down to improbable and sunny Brazil... Sorry, I think I should let you in on some background now... I've just been let out of the nursery, so I'm a bit nervous... and anxious. I live in Sao Paulo and don't think I need to tell you how excited we all are about this whole B&S thing. And what's with this concert?? I'm not complaining, I mean, I'm like counting the days, for christ's sake, but who would think we'd get so lucky?!?! You might have noticed that we have a consistent legion of fans over here (myself humbly included). And with all this hype around the gigs, B&S are actually getting quite a lot of press (considering what they would get before) and even some airplay! And parties! And now people keep saying "i read something about that scottish band you always drag on about" and get interested and we actually tell some of them what B&S are all about and so that's how you get a new brazilian B&S fan... For those of you in the list that share my native language or just want to adventure yourself in some portuguese B&S content, check out the site I've put up: www.belleandsebastian.com.br I think it's pretty cool. You might not, but I hope you do. Anyway, just come by and say hello. And let's have some brazilian picnics, we deserve it! Great talking to you. Friday's an hour away, grate! See you all around.

17 Aug '01

If anyone out there on the list can help me with this I'd be appreciative... I have a picture of my great great grandparents standing in the woods in front of some farm the back of the picture says Summer 1917 and then the mystery word.... it looks vaguely like this Oanisquarie or Oarrisquarie basically the a's and r's could be u's and there could be a second R at the end...(spelling error?) I don't know I've searched high an' lo' on Irish sites and atlases but can't figure out where this is... I apologize profusely to take up your time please honey don't hurt me. jb. If you stand in a circle /than you'll all have a back to bite/ back logged books on the seven wonders/ we're all so funny but we've lost the joke/ now our communications are one line jokes/we're stand up comics and rock musicians making so much noise you don't know when to listen --MoDeSt MoUsE _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sorry all! Seems I pressed the send button without actually explaining that I took this guy I met in a pub home to listen to B&S and he ended up staying the night. I have a habit of writing things in a funny order and came back to my computer thinking I'd already finished what I'd written, and pressed send. Duh! My apologies...

Sinister: Mmmm....
by Priscila Moura 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

Right. I must be completely insane to share something so deeply personal with 1500 people but at this exact moment I feel like shouting about it, so here goes. A couple of nights ago I was out drinking with some mates. We got talking to the people sat at the table next to us. In the morning, he was gone. Not a trace of him was left, not a note, nothing. Only the fag ends in the ashtray. Nevermind. It was beautiful while it lasted.

Sinister: Waiting for the day to come
by Daniela Varanda 17 Aug '01

17 Aug '01

Hello you all! I hope you are fine! After some time avoiding sinister and refusing myself to qrite a post, I'm back. My life is fine and I am counting the days to see B and S in Free Jazz. I'd like you to be happy for me somehow, Cause I'm looking forward to writing reviews for you. If everything goes right, I'll go to Rio too, to watch both concerts. If my pocket allows me. I've been listening to Radiohead a lot these days, and a song touched me like Judy and the dream of horses some time ago. The song is "Let Down". Awesome! Ok, I don't have anything more to tell you. It's the same story...work, university, having fun on Saturday night (which is great). I just wanna give everyone a big hug, and tell yoo I'm here, alive, and waiting for october to come. Hugs!!!!!!!

Sinister: that much is true
by Emily Wilska 16 Aug '01

16 Aug '01

Verily I say unto thee, hello. You thought I might stay silent forever, but you were wrong. I'm not about to do any such thing, especially in light of all the recent hullaballoo in these parts. First, I'd like to second (or, by this point, fourth or fifth) the sentiments put forth by Dimitra. For while I've not done the Sinister Tour o' Europe (or North America, for that matter), I have very well enjoyed my time here, and have gained at least one dear friend, and have learned heaps about many topics which, if nothing else, make me a much more interesting cocktail party guest.* (*This statement has not been verified by the FDA.) So, thanks. Thanks to all of you, even the Pinefox, whose posts leave me scratching my head and wondering whether I'll ever have the smarts to actually understand them. And even though he's mired in Argentina and won't read this unless I forward it to him, thanks to JDS for being a swell sini-pal. I'll stop all of this sappiness right after I note that Dimitra's post left me all sighing and wistful, which would be saying something if watching Shrek on a plane the other day hadn't had the same effect. I swear it was just Cale's (or would that be Cohen's?) 'Hallelujah,' which gets me every time, although it's possible that a computer-generated cartoon did indeed make me a little watery eyed. Let us never speak of this again. I hear Iceland's quite a nice place, although it hasn't many trees and can be a bit chilly at times. But really, people, it produced the delicious (and nutritious) Jonsy and his bunch, so there must be something to it. Also, my uncle recently went there on holiday and quite enjoyed himself. He's pro-Kyoto treaty, by the way. Swedish fish=fantastic. Ikea sells bags of them for mere cents. Make a note of it. I am unabashedly pleased to announce that I'll be attending the second SF show, will be sitting (or, I guess, standing) on the floor, and would be more than grateful to any cute, tall, skinny alternaboys who might like to boost my five-foot-two self up for a better view. That is to say, my view would be better; no promises to those around me. I would not be at all averse to some sort of meet-up beforehand, although the Warfield has the dubious distinction of being near pretty much nothing but the Crazy Horse, which is decidedly un-twee. Dunno--maybe forties in brown bags on the sidewalk would make us all feel more at home in the neighborhood. Discuss amongst yourselves. While I've never had the guts to attempt any Pynchon beyond Lot 49, I have been stubbornly making my way through Proust, and while I will admit that he can be a bit verbose now and again (fuck's sake, Marcel, SPIT IT OUT ALREADY), he is spot-on about many, many matters related to love and infatuation. I would detail them for you now, but really, it's time for coffee. But not before I note that Vancouver is hands-down my new favorite (or favourite) city for so many reasons, not least among them the fact that one can purchase decent Kit-Kats there. (Yeah, yeah--culture and restaurants and scenery, too.) However, British Columbians, please explain to me why the sole radio station one can tune to in the vicinity of Whistler insists on playing something Phil Collins-related every third song. This could be the downfall of what is otherwise a top-notch province, and that worries me. Anyway, I'm back to YVR for a short spell next weekend, so suggestions of things not to be missed would be lovely. In return, I can tell you anything you want to know about San Francisco. Deal? Ooh, and just one more thing. You'll thank me for this, you will, especially if you're as annoyed as I am by Bil Keane's insipid Family Circus cartoon. Check out the reviews of his books readers have posted to Amazon, and never look at Little Billy and Not Me the same way again: What Does This Say?: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0449148149/qid=998005074/sr=2-2/r ef=aps_sr_b_1_2/104-1363541-5188722 I Had a Frightmare: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0449146154/qid=998005139/sr=1-2/r ef=sc_b_2/104-1363541-5188722 Like I said, it's time for coffee. Yes, Emily p.s.--Greater-than-average (if that's humanly possible) love to Honey for dealing with my two-faced addresses. You really are the loveliest ever. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: All night picnics of DEATH!!
by JAMES GILMER 16 Aug '01

16 Aug '01

Hello Sinister people, I find myself writing you from a brand-new computer, thanks to my old one taking a spectacular crash. I hope everyone is doing well, and that some of you are excited about the upcoming Great Lakes Picnic. I haven't gotten as large of a response about the Great Lakes Picnic this time around, so if you're planning on coming, drop me a line, there may be another picnic in October as well, we'll see. Amy said: A date was finally set for the Great Lakes picnic, on September 1, a day that geehaws with most area sinsterites I'm not generally one for geehaws, but I admit I geehawed. A small geehaw to be honest, but a geehaw all the same. Kirsten wrote about the strange party where there were boys who dressed up like pooh bears and other boys with Garrison Keilor fascinations, and I must apologize because I don't think there will be any boys dressed like pooh bears at the Sinister Great Lakes Picnic. Personally, I regard the lack of boys dressed as pooh bears as a Good Thing. Tiggers are, of course, more than welcome. Tiggers are wonderful things you know, that's the wonderful thing about them. There will be Red Bull though, so I believe this makes up for the lack of boys dressed up as Pooh Bears. Matt said: "I hope everyone has an ace time at the Great Lakes picnic. So what happens at American Picnics?" Well, we just...um...you know...eh...you know what? I haven't a clue. I think it's safe to assume it will at some point involve Red Bull and Vodka. Seriously though, it will be ace, and I hope anyone who has a guitar or some musical instrument will bring it. I think it's safe to say there will be music galore as well, and lots of ace Sinister people to talk to. I'm hoping there's a bit of dancing as well. Rener said: "James Gilmer sent in some nice photos of B&S in lahndan and aberrrdeen. very nice" Thanks, glad you liked them, only the London photos are simply friends unrelated to Sinister, the other B&S phots were from the Perth gig. "Fold You Hands...etc" is probably my favorite album because it has "There's Too Much Love", "Woman's Realm", "Waiting for the Moon", and "The Chalet Lines" on it, four of my favorite songs from B&S. Robin made some ace points, such as: "It's a series of experiments, some of them exploding and others fizzing, that were precursors to the inventiveness we've been hearing lately" I agree completely with that statement. Someone mentioned "The Heart is A Lonely Hunter" which is a gorgeously astonishing book you should all read. I have a confession...I think Ribena is crap, utterly overpriced crap that's a step above Kool-Aid. Does this mean I have to turn in my IndieKid badge? I suppose mentioning I don't like the Smiths will only further damn me? *sigh* I've heard some rumblings about Jonathan David as well, and I wanted to chime in and say that I think it's quite good, all three of the songs on the new single are good. They may not be eveyone's cup of Red Bull, but that's a good thing, as explained by Robin's above quote. I want a professional recording of Rhoda though. Now. It's a brilliant song that reminds me of a girl I once knew. Reading recommendation: "Ethics for the New Millennium" by the Dalai Lama, because he's a very cool cat. Website of the week: http://www.geocities.com/snackrelatedmishap/ because it's insanely funny, and very true. Song of the week: "Skylab Love Scene" by Sunset Valley, because I'm listening to it right now. Be Sinister...
