Sinister: Calvin Johnson in New Jersey next Monday.
by Andrew CHurchman 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

hi everyone, I posted this awhile ago but wanted to refresh everyone's memory since it's comming up soon. Next Monday, August 20th Calvin Johnson, the Microphones, Get the Hell out of the Way of the Volcano, and Little Wings will be performing the paper opera "the Moon is Up There" at the Manasquan Women's Club (62 Main St.). It starts at 8:30 and is $5.00. Believe me, these are some of the most innovative and extrodinary musicians of our time (not to mention Calvin who's a living legand). If anyone is in the area, please feel free to stop by because it's going to be a lot of fun, and they're not playing NYC. Thanks a lot, and I hope to see some of you there. --- andrew __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages & get email alerts with Yahoo!

Sinister: Die Kanonensong
by P F 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

Oh, my! That's what I said when my editor took me and Cookie (she's also Cookie's editor) to a boozer today to drink REVOLUTIONARY beer. The location was secret, you understand. The walls had pictures by Eduard (?) Artizzone, author (?) and illustrator of THE LION THAT FLEW, a book which has yet to be claimed for the twee canon. We didn't talk about YOU. We talked about FOOTBALL, I mean, Fitba. Cookie is reading an REM supplement as I tap this. If he doesn't, his REM level will drop to an unacceptable level. The other day my editor, Cookie and I went to a different boozer and undertook a scientific experiment on licensed premises. We poured beer into ourselves, inserted chips and condiments, and calculated the results of the GREATEST SONGWRITERS IN POP HISTORY list. I promised them I would present an edited version to You. I think I should perhaps delete the names who only Wrote For The Shows, because they'd sweep the board and trash all-comers. That leaves 1 McCartney 2 Costello 3 Dylan 4 Lennon 5 Morrissey / Marr 6 Bowie 7 Wilson 8 Merritt 9 Bacharach / David 10 Jagger / Richard['s'] 11 Holland / Dozier / Holland 12 Davies 13 Reed 14 Townshend 15 Robinson 16 Simon 17 King 18 Springsteen 19 Young 20 Harrison 21 Tilbrook / Difford 22 Clark 23 Morrison (V) 24 Mitchell 25 Cole Boo-hoo! Stuart Murdoch in relatively non-canonical shocker. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send instant messages & get email alerts with Yahoo!

Sinister: Rhapsody in mauve
by Rob Butler 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

Ah, the joys of working life. I'm one of the lucky ones - in a month it'll all be over and I'll be back to college to procrastinate and mull over what a wasted year I've just had. Ten months gainfully employed, and still my bank balance is adorned with 'Dr'. My plans to go South, to other hemispheres and drink Cuba Libre in the January sun - all gone to Pot. Pourri. Phileas Fog? I think they were my favourite... At least it gives me time to do the crossword - the daily commute. Bicycle, train, tube, foot. Punctures, leaves, stifling, blisters. Felt & Denim. A request - I want everyone to think of a song, band or singer named after a fabric or item of clothing. Tell me. It's my turn to set the quiz. Bear in mind (Ursa Imaginaris) that anything post-1989 is frowned upon, and anything even vaguely obscure is unrecognised. So no Felt & Denim. Pub quiz, not pop quiz. I work for people who have a company called B&S Glasgow. And B&S Edinburgh. Are B&S Edinburgh any good? No-one mentions Carson McCullers on this list any more. Odd. I saw Fonda 500 this weekend, and gave them my rattle. They're somehow different. They ooze energy and, um, a certain je ne sais quoi. It must be something they put in the Hull water. Mercury, perhaps. I also went for a walk in Regent's park, and saw some giant anteaters. This is why Regent's park is a good place for the next London picnic. I also saw some storks and swimming birds. At-Swim-Two-Birds. Well, more than two birds - and storks, which are birds too, but larger. And pigeons, which are rats with wings, apparently, but still birds. Birds were always my favourite - Crested cranes, Secretary birds, those wonderful iridescent Superb starlings - a young boy in East Africa and I was taken more with starlings than lions and elephants. Again, odd. Got to go Rob _________________________________________________________________ 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: phone your mum
by Stankin' Cooter 13 Aug '01

13 Aug '01

My dears: LIST BIFFO I got a little bee in my bonnet about this argument that a few of us had just recently, and wrote a big rant about it. I then decided not to post it, because that would have been a Bad Thing. The only trouble is that almost posting has left me with a feeling not entirely unlike when youre just at the point of sneezing, and somehow manage not to. Which isnt very nice. Hence this, which I hope isnt too blatantly just the product of an itchy send button. I promise Ill go back to not posting very much, really. As for the actual unpleasantness itself, it would perhaps be best if each of you imagines that Ive eloquently expressed complete agreement with your own particular point of view. There. Id also like to specifically concur with whoever it was that said that everyone was just trying to get the last word on the subject. I certainly am, and Im going to have it too. Porpoise. SINISTER = THE SHIT Theres been a lot of talk about the list itself lately, and how much it means to people, the charms of various celebrity listees, and so on. Its certainly added a much needed dimension to my day-to-day in recent times, and Ive gushed at you all before on this subject at some length. Id therefore like to suggest that someone more technologically literate than myself sets up a fan list for sinister, where we can discuss matters of pressing importance such as the size of Kens arse, and whether Julie tours the West Coast often enough, or whether she should come to Australia, Japan and Iceland first. Dimitra said a whole lot of lovely things about the list, very nicely indeed, and described her trip, which sounded like an absolute dream. Possibly even a slightly dirty one. Ill take my hat off to her, and hope that one of these days Ill be fortunate enough to have a similar experience. For one thing, Ive not been in any sinister underwear other than my own, and I cant help but feel somewhat short-changed. EXCLUSIVE!!! Belle and Sebastian are definitely touring Australia very soon indeed. Actually, thats a complete lie; Ive got no reason to believe they will. But if they do, I dearly hope that the far-flung Australian sinister massive will get together for a picnic. Or should that be a barbie? Of course, each and every one of the rest of you would be more than welcome around to mine, should you see fit to grace our fair shores with your august presence. Personally, Id be as happy as a clam to get out to whichever city or cities they decide to play, based on what Ive heard from you all about the recent shows. Ill see you there, and Ill even compliment you on your shoes and buy you a drink as well. WHATS YOURS? Someone rather astutely observed on #sinister recently that sinister listees are particularly fierce and dedicated advocates of their favourite drinks. I know Ive made mention of g&t a time or two, I dare say that there arent too many places where youd hear the word ribena bandied about quite so freely, and I seem to remember some bloke saying something about red bull and vodka once. I thoroughly approve. Its a good thing to have a strong opinion about, and the first step in really getting to know yourself. Ive no time for fickle, drink-hopping sorts, and they seem to be mercifully thin on the ground in these parts. SOME THINGS THAT PEOPLE SAID Lindsey Baker said: if the girl is laughing at what you said or agreeing with you and just reaches out to touch your arm for further emphasis -- bam. you're in. Thanks very much for this handy pulling hint. I jotted this down next to all the other stuff that I know about girls as soon as I read it. Much appreciated. Ill have the back of that postage stamp covered in no time, at this rate. Brier Random said: "Is there anyone else out there who adds the phrase "On the tube" after "When we're on stage..." when singing along?" Ill have to meekly raise my hand to this one. This always catches me out when Im warbling away in my own inimitable style. Thankfully, I only really expose the next-door neighbour to this, as my ability to actually sing anything remotely approaching the correct tune is limited at best, and only attempted in the solitude of my little room. The predictable slamming shut of next-doors window (that shares a courtyard with my bedroom window) probably has relatively little to do with the fact that Im singing the words from a different version of the song. Robin Stout said: "Firstly, I've been wondering whether many people like "Fold Your Hands..." very much because I do and I have a feeling that creeps onto my forehead sometimes that most people don't. I like it more than TBWTAS, even though some of its songs aren't so great. Well, I like FYHCYWLAP quite a lot too, compared to the universe; it has some genuinely great songs on it, but I think its the weakest thing that the bands done. Every other Belle and Sebastian record can safely be put into the little tray, and the play button can be pressed when the music stops, it can then be taken out, and thats all there is to it. Simple. There are some great songs and some good ones on all the other records, and a few that are not terrific, but only compared to the rest of the bands output. I never really feel the need to skip anything, unless theres a specific song for which Im looking to indulge a hankering. Beyond the Sunrise, though, is bad compared to the universe, and needs to be skipped, Im sorry. The problem with this is that its the thin end of the wedge; if youre going to skip track 3, you may as well skip track 8. And if youre skipping those two, then 7 and 10 dont seem quite so indispensable, if youre not really in the mood for them. This way of listening to records suits me just fine with lesser bands, but its a shame when I put this record on that I even have to worry about such things as track numbers. The album just falls into pieces when you start doing this, and it just aint right. Robin Stout also said: I think Belle and Sebastian's music has a spiritual element to it that is not explicit but is pretty profound. <snip> Could Struan write these songs without knowing his own spirituality? I don't know. But I think it is a big part of that something that sits in-between the words of the songs that we can't put our fingers on." Now, Im not a very spiritual sort of chap myself, but there does seem to be something to this. This music often reminds me, just when I need it, that theres more going on in the world than simply the hubbub that seemingly surrounds us. Its a simple thing: the wry smile it somehow manages to sneak onto my face, as Im dashing along with headphones on, late for something important and stressful, with six other things on my mind. Its a stubborn little flower growing in the cracked pavement of a busy street, motionlessly striking against the bustling grey around it. Alright, thatll do. Stay refreshingly lemon-scented. Bulk love, -Stankin. _________________________________________________________________ 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: see all you soon!

Dear Sinisters Today is supposed to be last day at work...mhmhm.. which sound quite good. On the other hand I have to pack-up (which is something I don't really like to do) before leaving to the far Australia on Thursday which is something I will love to do!! It's just a dream of childhood, which becomes true... I guess most the kids (at least here in Italy, and as far as I know...) dream to go to Australia, one day. I must feel lucky, since is the University who is paying for the travel (only the plane ticket but that's enough). I'll be in Brisbane for a congress till the 24-25 august... I was wondering, if there are any sinisters down there (may I say I'm up here??), if we should meet any maybe celebrate the list birthday (even if I'm right out of the nursery.). p2 if anyone would like to receive a postcard from a lost sinister Australia, (as these would have part of my child-dream) just mail me.

Sinister: so vicky thinks i'm a dork

just because i can't be arsed to post to the list. Well Vicky here you are: I used to like storms. I really did. But yesterday the mother of all storms put the fear of God into me, oh yes it did. We're talking serious downpour for hours and hours. So of course the Radiohead show I drove hundreds of miles to see was rained out (it seems the stage is currently underwater) and my tent was submerged in a quagmire :( But I got better, just like the guy in The Holy Grail. And now it's off to a week at the shore for Cross Country Camp (joy!) and sunrises over the ocean etc. that is all brian :P +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I was riding on the Mayflower when I thought I spied some LAAnnd (hic! start again)
by P F 12 Aug '01

12 Aug '01

The last hello was affecting in the extreme. The night before that I saw the Kaiser. Kaiser, I told him, I mentioned you on sinister. He considered this inadequate. - But Pinefox, quoth he, no-one knows who 'the Kaiser' is. Still - he knows his foot. ball. But he doesn't even believe in my name. For a while there I thought I was actually going to stop at Tottenham Hale, which is more than I ever managed in the 1980s. Suspect package at Liverpool Street. Perhaps it contained the leopard from Lime Street? But heave on, train, OK! magazine and all. The magazine calls every actress �beautiful�, which is almost true. Martine McCutcheon, it was later agreed, was cherubically lovely. The boozer was full like a tin of new potatoes. It was relevant to YOU, just about. Here was Tom Ewing, helpfully warning me: you�re too late to sing. I might warn him � and you � in return: The Beard Is Back. Here was Nick Dastoor, whom you won�t remember. He�d had one or two, in the gear he won for playing in an international footy tourney in the early 80s. And as he�s not reading this, I don�t mind telling you he looked gorgeous. There was much of the supermodel about him. Ewing duetted with Edna Welthorpe � who sucks and is dumb, as reported last time � on the Pet Shop Boys. She thought we hadn't heard her. Could we hear her? I'm afraid so. The Carsmile had fulfilled a Lamacq role, singing Carter USM covers, while looking like a cross between the usual Mark E. Smith and the unusual Robert Redford. Captain the Marvel had his song stolen. If anyone's seen it, don't bring it back, for the reasons the Kaiser has already explained. It's time for the Captain to move on and conquer another Irish tune. Dmrita said Kenneth Chu was everyone's favourite listee. In the interests of balance, I feel it incumbent on me to say the Chu is by no means and in no way my favourite listee, and it would take a holocaust of certain other listees to make him so. Someone mentioned South Bend, Indiana. If I'm not mistaken, James Stewart mentions it in The Philadelphia Story, and the parodic Hepburn responds magnificently, - Why, that sounds like *dancing*! Meanwhile, Colonel Moore was back from the summit, proclaiming that a square deal for Britain had been attained, though not obtained, pending discussion at medium spirit level. That reminds me, Elena99 said 'JD' was her song of the summer: which is handy, because it is certainly not mine. Back to Mooro. I shall not comment on his ability to bring a certain energy, a certain bonhomie, a certain enthusiasm to a scene, for that would sound as sycophantic as he reputedly does on his record of Stuart Murdoch falling on top of him. Suffice to say, he was barrelling down the highway again this morning, and back again - the A12, come to think of it - doing motorway services to the world. This reminds me of what constitutes something like an event in sinister world, namely the arrival of Geneva Convention Wesley Harding. Many others have rattled on about her in the past, but I fear I have not always understood her posts, because they were written in Candadian. Yet unlike so many others, she actually managed to live up to her billing. Not for GW the half-assed, whining blend of bitchery and obscurantism that with irregular frequency passes through this town. Such fashionable vices are not hers; instead the simple virtues: honesty, modesty, openness, humour, interest. I'm not kidding - this kind of thing is a pleasant shock these days, in my dotage, my decline, my curmudgeon's century. I missed the Lloyd Cole Night that Edna organized back at the branch, but will Report Back nonetheless. Debates were held on where to begin with Lloyd. Edna and I agreed that you might as well go with Rattlesenakes, if you like Tigermilk. But we think that The Collection doesn't lack shrewdness, qua virgin acquisition. B&S were played, and people said they were great. It's a good thing I wasn't there, I might have had to find a way to disagree. Biff Bang Pow, Orange Juice and Felt were successfully dispatched, or despatched - yes, that's the man, I think - as Overrated. A Canadian university has been running courses on Archetypes in The Little Mermaid. So far three Archetypes have been identified. 1. The Mermaid (little). 2. The Fish. 3. The Octopus. More to follow after marine research. Meanwhile, a course has been analyzing the Breakdown of the Critical Essay. My editor and I held a rival summit meeting of our own, somewhere not at the very top of Ludgate Hill, and agreed to blame Roland Barthes' fragmentary methods. It was reported that The Care Bear had gone for a job by telephone interview. But *did she dress up for the occasion?* We don't know. White socks in perry-boy comeback. To the Mayflower, on what was a summer afternoon withal, Mooro brought along a gorgeous green and yellow CD. His copy had Times on it, which is more than I can say for mine (there just wasn't Time). 8:49 for Stansted, not to be confused with Paddington. I heard that Honey had said something about my tummy. I wish I could remember *why*. Reports Back on Cookie's Kilt will have to wait for the return of those who have seen beneath it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: fixation with long journeys
by Dairy Fairy 12 Aug '01

12 Aug '01

Hi, Lots of people have been writing about sinister has made them smile. I think I have a sinster smile at least once a day. i guess my smiles are small though, not being a sinster celebrity. It's an odd thing isn't it, because the type of e-mails on the list mean you can think of the writers as real people as opposed to someone just blurting out a question about that favourite band. I like that, so i guess i don't mind if every mail is off topic, although I know eventually the list would collapse in a tangle of people's emotional outpourings and sexual fantasies. hehe. smutty chuckle. Girls are hardly ever allowed to be smutty are they? And I think they should be, because sex is just so funny. I just saw on ebay that two tickets for the San Fransisco show and a copy of Jonathan David are going for $113. That's a bit kerazee. Even more mad is the note below the description which says that any money bid over $63, the ticket costs + handling is for the e.p, but that would mean somebody is supposedly paying $50 for Jonathan David. Then again, $113 is not that much I guess for a big B+S glow. I have to get my a/s level results on Thursday and I am all nervous. Luckily I will be jetting off to Barcelona immediately after so that should counteract the trauma. Going for six days so i'm not sure what I'm going to fill them with since I reckon I am too poor to get into fancy museums. If anyone went to any good clubs/record shops/pretty places en route to Benicassism then I'd love to hear about them off-list. To save a poor girl and friends from europop ;) I'm just kinda wasting your precious time, Grace Get 250 color business cards for FREE! http://businesscards.lycos.com/vp/fastpath/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
