Sinister: A song for the lonely
by JAMES GILMER 31 Aug '01

31 Aug '01

Hello Sinister people, The subject line comes by way of the Drugstore song by the same same. Everyone go out and buy "White Magic for Lovers" because it's as good as it gets. Anyways, a lot of people have mentioned how lonely they are and how they wish they could talk to this girl or that boy. I went through a shy stage at one point in my life, but I got over it rather quickly. I suppose there's not much to be said that shy people haven't heard before, you all know the drill; don't be afraid, take a chance and talk to people, and so on and so forth. It's a bit like telling a depressed person to cheer up, nine times out of ten the depressed person nods and forces a grin and then goes back to sulking, but there's still that one person who smiles and laughs and gets on with it. So I'll say it again to the shy people; come out and play with us. Take chances and be daring and brave and silly and stupid and all that, all the things they tell us as kids that are bad and childish (funny that, children are forever being told they're acting like children, isn't that the way it's supposed to be?). Talk to the girl you've always fancied, smile at the boy you've always wanted to smile at. Sure, some won't return the smile, these people are not worth your attention. Eventually you'll find your smile returned and your hello greeted with a friendly "Hi". Because if you don't get out and smile and say hello and enjoy the trees and the cities and the sky and the sea and the people then what was the point of all this (in the general sense of life)? It's only a ride, and it goes up and down and is sometimes loud and scary but it's still only a ride, and sooner or later it stops. Oh, and make no mistake, people (even your friends) will kick you in the teeth from time to time, it happens, it's an annoying part of life and the most you can do is shrug and move on. Those people who'll knock your confidence and kick you in the teeth (metaphorically speaking) can't hurt you unless you let them. Meet them with a smile and a shrug and their power over you melts away like sugar in the rain. And despite your best intention you'll kick someone's teeth in and act the prat and say stupid things and do stupi things and all that, but that's life and it's annoying but it doesn't pay to obsess over it. Bugger all that, I'd rather meet the world with a filthy grin and a laugh, because I don't want the people who think Fear is Good win. The fear that keeps us shy and quiet and not out there singing songs and doing brilliant things. California is calling to me, and it looks like I'll be heading out that way to catch a few shows and do a bit of travelling with a fellow listee. I'm quite excited about it. I'm almost as excited about the Great Lakes Sinister Picnic happening this weekend in South Bend, Indianna. If any of you who are planning to attend have questions on how to get there, drop me a line and I'll instruct you as best I can. Be Sinister...

Sinister: let's pic-a-nic with flowers in our hair
by Kyla Schuller 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Hello Sinister- SF PICNIC Sensing a general reluntance, I hereby boldly step forth to declare myself picnic mummy next Saturday, the 8th of September, in the fair city of San Francisco. We shall of course meet in Golden Gate Park, though I am still searching for the most suitable location. Perhaps we will meet at the Conservatory of Flowers. Maybe they have bluebells and tigerlilies. I will send another dispatch with firmer plans, but at this point I'd like to propose 2 p.m., PST, in Golden Gate Park, closer to Haight Street than to the ocean. A specific site near fields for frisbee and SOCCER will be forthcoming. so please, email me off list, and let's get this thing going. as was mentioned before, a stop at Amoeba Records seems compulsory. Then we can trek off to the Warfield -- located smack in the middle of some of the dodgiest blocks west of the Mississippi. I think Saturday is the best to do it, as Sunday is opera in the park, and 50,000 people and their dog will be in GGP. So I hope Saturday works for everyone. OF MORE GENERAL INTEREST well, i think i'd just like to give props to Kirsten's latest story, it sticks out even among her history of well-written posts. and Llaura, Mark Twain seems to have proven himself a fool. And, anyone prescient enough to have their own 16mm film collection deserves instant Sinister fame. Finding those buggers is near impossible. a dios Kyla 510.535.1041 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!

Sinister: love is sharing your ribena
by james alexander jackson 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Hello everyone... this another post from one of those lurker types... I've been reading all of the posts from you lovely people,and decided to contribute a little something myself for a change; Dimitra said something a while back that people should post if they feel like it, and not hold back so here goes... (you can wish me luck at this point!) I had my resit exam in java last week, so I'm getting quite anxious now about the result. When i think I've done well i get really guilty and think that maybe I'll fail now simply because i thought it wasn't as bad as it was... obviously so many days spent like a monk in my room working at this infernal contraption has left me mildly crackers. So i went to the seaside with my folks for the weekend, which turned out to be much duller than usual. I don't really know anyone in the little village we stay in, and all the people i know in towns nearby were working or on holidays... still, i went to the beach and that made me feel a bit better, because it's one of those beaches that's a nice length to walk, and you can have a good think about stuff while you're walking and be fully armed with whatever you've figured out by the time you get back... I thought about the indie thread that's been going on of late; my friend Alan reckons that indie shouldn't be allowed and ought to banned, so I think anyone who likes indie music (not quite sure a person can be 'indie' really... i mean, we're all different so maybe even hear' say fans are indie, maybe everyone is...) should just smile at non-indie music types and hope that they develop a more eclectic taste in the future. Although Alan's coming seriously close to getting a good beating! grrr... So, er... thanks for listening, thanks for sending so many great posts, good luck to everyone who's going through 'back to school' trauma, and isn't Kylie's new song really terrible?! Oh and if there are any other sinister types in Northern Ireland who fancy going for a pint sometime, please feel free to drop me a line, especially if you live within 30 miles of Castlerock and fancy a walk on the beach! :) best wishes and ribena, James. _______________________________________ This is pleasurable. Or shall I cross that out and say it is sad? In one of the tenses I singing an impossible song of desire that you cannot hear.

Sinister: I Said, Let's Go Out And Have Some Fun
by Genevieve Wesley 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

I didn't go to the Picnic, but I did go to London (briefly) and Scotland and it was great, quite something for a sheltered girl to finally have done and so now I get to Report Back. I have observed for four years, the name calls and shout outs you know. I am afraid there are too many names and moments I want to share, but I will try to cut it short. I am very thankful for the kindness, warmth and conversation from all of the people I met over there or else I would've been a hopeless wandering mess. Thank you for the dear souls who gave me a place to stay and for the dear soul helping me over to Stansted. Also, the spell has been broken, the Arctic Woman's frozen stave has shattered and welcomes you to stay chez Genevieve and ice skate and eat BeaverTails any time. I did karaoke for the first time and it was a Sinister Parade...Ken Chu (easy now),Trousers, Carsmile, Lucy, Vicky, Mark, Ally, Martin, Nick, Elena, Paul, Sally and the wonderful David Moore who I wished I could've had endless discussions with on Freckled Arms And How To Get Them. I only knew one Lloyd Cole song upon arrival and yet was still able to communicate with The Pinefox - it must be the universal appeal of Tractor Boys. I hope he understood me, although he was actually quite fluent in Canadian. Everyone was very lovely and I wish I could've talked more with them. I took a train, that was exciting. Normally I strap my snowshoes to my back and leap onto the nearest passing caribou and hope for the best. I got to take a ferry to Arran and *that* was exciting too, being all alone with my knapsack I felt a bit like Felicia (well, minus the search for the father of my unborn baby and being stalked by a murderer) it started to rain and the winds they were howling and all these rugged Scottish men were out on the deck, (inhaling sharply the air through their nostrils) with these thin little tshirts on. I was freezing, but I never went inside, it's great to have your hair whip around your face while approaching misty green hills. While I was there the weather was all blue skies and sunny compared to the grey of Glasgow and Edinburgh. I took a gorgeous hike around and saw two postcard perfect boy-backpackers, equally sunny in their own right but with the added bonus of freckled arms. I have this obsession to go to Skye too, but that will be for another summer, as I don't think trekking around those islands in January would be much fun. The Big Cities were wonderful too, thanks to excellent hostesses Honey and Linda and Carey and her sometime associate walking tour guide, Lily Cook, a kind and handsome lad. I met Keith too, he's real you know, smooth by day but Rock by night. There were lots of other lovelies in Scotland - Calumn, Gavin, Jo, Vodkabird and even Mistopher Chris, who surprised me (delightfully) with his pythons and soft, gentle humming of the Rosemary's Baby song. Birthday presents were most lovingly appreciated, the best I've ever had, really. I finished The Sopranos on the plane and slept all week in my B&S tshirt. I still haven't seen Struan (the ice caps might've melted) but his presence was felt. I did go to the B&S soundtracked movie, not enough room in the car, so I had to lay across Carey and VickyVodkabird, feeling like I was being smuggled to the Edinburgh opium dens. I won't comment about the movie because then I'll just go on too long, but musically, there was only about 3 B&S songs played (one being The State I Am In) and I can't remember. I could drink beer in the theatre, understand? I saw two members of the band so now I know that they are real too. I shook one's hand (warm, firm grip) with an eager HiImGenevieveFromCanada while Carey looked nonchalant and beautiful and probably wondered why I didn't write FAN across my forehead in dripping red ink. I did not see the Peacock. I tried Ribena but I don't see the fuss. I prefer Honey's beverage of choice 'A Touch Of Fruit', which she sips so delicately. Sadly, I didn't get to stop at the Saccarens Head, but if I had I would've demanded, Barkeep! I'll have a Touch of Fruit, and could you please pre-loosen the cap for me? My hands get a tad clammy in this climate, thankyou. It was sad when I was at the airport to go home, a Scottish man said Smile Hen! It can't all be that bad? It's no fear of flying like? I didn't feel shouting down the line back at him that it's hard to smile when such a fantastic time seems to go by in a flash. Thank you again, I hope to see you soon. Love, Genevieve It was Struan's birthday a few days ago, I know this not because I am a Geek, but because it's on the same day as my mother's. Wanted,wanted: Struan Murdoch. Hair: Strawberry Blonde. Lips: Raspberry. Age: Ten thousand nine hundred and fifty days (approximately). Profession: Church janitor, or "popstar". Where are you hiding, Struan? Why are you hiding, darling? Happy (Belated) Birthday Sinister _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Sinister: you were no ordinary drain on her defenses. she was no ordinary girl.
by lindsey baker 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

hello sinister. i haven't posed for awhile. i feel bad about that. it was never my intention to be a lurker. though my absence here may suggest so, and my recent return to school may as well. it was my goal to make new friends. to talk to people and show them how neat-o i really am. but i keep seeing people i used to know who hurt me in the past. and now just go to the paper and work and go to class and sit and go home and listen to music. it's too hard to be the first to say the first word. and it's getting easier to think that maybe i am in the wrong place, or just a stop on the path that will take me to where i'm really supposed to be. so does it matter if i'm surrounded by people? or is it better to find the world in my mouth? i think the latter. today, anyhow. i feel like i've written this before. or something similar. so forgive me for sticking on mundane things i need to drop off from. my roommate is growing to love b&s. the reporter sitting next to me smells like my grandfather. and now i'll go away. your lindsey lou _______________________________________________________ Send a cool gift with your E-Card http://www.bluemountain.com/giftcenter/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Bill Wells Trio/Mixing It
by David Simpson 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Hello For those who missed it, popular BBC Radio 3 avant music programme Mixing It recently featured a live set from The Bill Wells Trio, which included a B&S member in its ranks (Stevie Jackson I think, though I could be wrong since it was on past my usual bedtime and I was feeling a bit distant). Lovely, so it was, all gentle and drifting. Apparently the set can be both seen and heard on the interweb at www.bbc.co.uk/radio3, though I expect you'd have to look through the site for a link to Mixing It, then from there to The Bill Wells Trio. I mean, don't ask me, I haven't actually gone there and looked. Anyway, nobody else seems to have mentioned it (apologies if I'm wrong about that), and I thought some of you might like to see and hear it.

Sinister: A short kitchen conversation
by Sunset . 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

The woman smiled fondly but sadly at the her daughter. They had been talking in the kitchen. The girl stood against the radiator looking down. Not daring to look up. "I wish I could give you the confidence you deserve" The girl bit her lip and didn't say anything. She wished that too, she wished there was a way to have corrective surgery and come away with enhanced self confidence. But then the girl wasn't sure she really deserved anymore confidence anyway. The girl often wondered what it would feel like to have more confidence. Would she feel like other people then? Or did other people have as little confidence as her and they disguised it in different ways. She really didn't know. It seemed like a nice thing though, to have more confidence. The idea that she would be able to walk in to a room and feel as good as anyone else in there, it seemed good. It would certainly beat walking into a room feeling inferior to everyone else in it.But then the girl started to doubt herself again. "Maybe I feel that way because I'm not as good as everyone else. " She looked at her mother as she spoke. She already knew that her mother would disagree and tell her what a lovely person she was. The girl knew that she would listen feeling a little better but all the while not quite believing it. The girl wondered why there were people who seemed to want to knock any shred of confidence out of her. She could understand them disliking her but why did they want to put her down? People who had got to know her, people who she had once trusted and people who she had told all of her secrets to. She wondered why they had suddenly started using them against her. She was having her worst insecurities thrown at her by someone she used to trust. Her self confidence was battered and could slip away completely if she wasn't careful. But she was careful, not about to give in, and she was lucky. Some people have kind hearts they are caring and don't want to take you confidence away to build up their own. They stop you becoming cynical and stop you giving up on everyone. They allow you to believe that there are some things worth placing your trust in. The girl was lucky because she knew some of these people. And their kindness kept her going. She thought about this for a second, slouched against the radiator. She smiled. The girl felt she had the confidence to get through all of this. ******* Take Care Rachel _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Sinister: too bored to die.
by Astrid Wiezell 30 Aug '01

30 Aug '01

Hi there, I just thought I´d write a very boring post since I don´t have anything to do. I´ve had a really boring day, I´ve just been annoyed at everyone, been for myself and very antisocial. Haven´t a clue why, but some days I´m like that.. My friend Anna is just so terrible. I know it´s strong words, but I kind of HATE her! She´s been copying everything I do for about three years, and I haven´t been able to discuss it with her yet! And still, it annoys me every-fuckin-day.. I wanted to kill her today. And you should remember that I am one of those persons who feels really bad if she kills a bug by mistake or something. She just.. takes everything that makes me me. I started to play the guitar - now she´s going to play guitar. I bought apair of corduroy flares - and suddenly, her whole world was about getting as many corduroy flares as she could find. I mention a quite good band - she will have all their records at the end of the day. And worst of all, she is a spoiled little BRAT who gets anything she wants, i.e she can buy anything she knows I want to but just snapping her fingers. Grrr... Anyone know what to do? Really tell her off and then having a terrible schoollife for the rest of this year (and half of the next one)? In art class today, I had such a good time! We get to make record-covers, we can do EP, CD or LP. I chose cd, and I know it´s a bit boring, but.. ehm.. Well since I am going to make like a nice sleeve and all that I think it´s best to make it a CD-cover. It´s going to be an (imaginary) compilation with really good belle and sebastian songs on it. I am actually going to burn the cd with abit of help form my computer, so that my art teacher gets impressed. The cover however, shows a girl putting up a belle and sebatian poster on a wall, and on her backpack she has like these little badges, one which says "Sinisteree". It´s going to be very nice. The inside of the sleeve will have the story of how the band formed etc, and I WILL have a thank you-list as well, hee hee. It will be dead nice, it will. I am thinking of drawing a sticker on the girl´s backpack which says "I luv Ken Chu" (replace the luv with a heart and you get the picture) but I don´t know. What do you think? Still.
