All I know is that there are loads of them. Fun things to do with seaguls in Aberdeen no 1: Head down to the beach area at night (watching you don't stray into the red light area). Find the large patch of grass outside Codonas amusements. You will observe a large number of seagulls. Run towards them and watch the f***ers scatter. Well it cheered me up walking home from work.

Sinister: Don't pick up the last peanut in the packet
by elenita 99 09 Aug '01

09 Aug '01

On the way home tonight I saw a slug trying to pull a snail. Or maybe the other way round I am not sure. Anyway they were traces of their routes on the pavement, and when I got there they were actually licking each other with passion (well slowly but you know, passionate). So I wonder if a slug is just a snail not married yet, therefore having no house. But that is not the point really. Next week my lovely friends are taking me to the zoo, and we'll go and see the bears and the crocodiles and everything. Maybe they are secretly planning to leave Larry and me there as a new attraction. Hope not. My parents are worried about my future, my love life, my diet, and probably some other stuff I forget. My mum does the "havent you met someone nice yet?" bit, while my dad goes on the "havent you got any job interviews yet?" theme, and both join for a "you know chips arent healthy dont you?" chorus. Are your parents like that? I mean, sometimes I wonder. Red knickers day should be red, for the simple reason I havent got any pink knickers. And red is a great colour anyway. David Moore met Peter Miller. How come that suddenly I feel less special? I mean from now on if we are having a "Peter Miller drawing competition" in the pub David will win because I can't draw. Gmgrlmgrlmrmgr. Jonathan David is my song of the summer. Disposable barbecues: the miracles of modern world.

Sinister: "East Coast bias"

Hi Dougal Shaw wrote "During the Scottish tour, B and S deliberately snubbed the capital, Edinburgh, which lies (proudly) on the East coast.....This is the genesis of B and S' anti-East Coast mentality." A good theory, except they played in Aberdeen the night before they played in Glasgow, and Aberdeen's on the East coast of Scotland. We have a harbour and a beach and everything, and I could see the North Sea right now if there weren't three walls and a lot of trees in the way. So, nice try Dougal but no cigar.

Sinister: More about Benicassim
by Jordi Trenzano 09 Aug '01

09 Aug '01

Ummm, so Sam posts just 5 minutes before me..... Ummm, nothing special to add, just a few words from Stevie at the press conference: "Angelina Jolie is welcome to join the band always that he leaves his husband at home". Curious. I agree with Sam about the review of the gig, even tough I donŽt I donŽt remember if one of the new songs was "miraculous technique". I think it was a brand new Stu song, but iŽm not sure. There were a few sound problems at the begininning, but after that the gig was great. Met Sam, Hannah, Zozie and Rachel, and Miss Vanessa had to share room (only the room) with me and 2 other friends of mine. Also met Mr.Olivier Bilenne, who will HAVE TO show his pics of the gig, as theyŽre terribly great. On sunday afternoon, before the big stage was open to the crowd, there was a football match. On one side, a selection of fanzine writers and musicians from Spanish bands. On the other, Stuart, Chris, the violin player, another guy who I think was from the string section, 2 writers from the festival website and, errr, the goalkeeper was who has written this same e-mail youŽre reading now. Bad luck we lost 5-4.

Sinister: REPORT BACK: Benicassim Review
by Sam Walton 09 Aug '01

09 Aug '01

Ello my sinister chums. Well, what a fun week I have had, because Ive been in Benicassim, at the Festival Internacional de Benicassim. I got back yesterday, only to be greeted with 233 new emails, which I loyally trudged through, but more thoughts on some of those later. This may be a long-ish post, because I have things to say other than the BENICASSIM REVIEW. + + + + + START OF BENICASSIM GIG REVIEW + + + + + + + + Rachel Playforth said: >>>Ive also been swimming in the sea every day this week (well except for >>>today as it was a bit nippy) and how many Londoners can say THAT? Well, I can, actually, because the festival was on the coast, and only a ten minute walk to the **warm** Mediterranean, so I swam quite a bit. Yum Unsurprisingly, it was scorching hot, and the tent where the gig was just seemed to trap the heat. So by the time me and Hannah had stood through five mediocre bands (we arrived at the beginning to get to the front), whilst the whole tent behind us filled up to bursting point, everything was pretty packed and sweaty. Then at about 8.15pm, the music from the PA faded, and the string players came on. And then nothing happened. Then the string section went off again. The roadies had forgotten to sound-check some of the instruments and had forgotten to put out Micks trumpet and French horn on stage. Oh well. So about 10 minutes later, the music from the PA faded again, and the string section came on again, but this time closely followed by the band. They looked great, as ever. Struan in white short-sleeve shirt and dark grey trousers, Isobel in **that** Bob Dylan dress, etc etc. The Spanish fans were a keen lot, Ill tell you that. There was one boy behind me and Hannah, and he screamed really hard in our ears when the band came on and then continued to do so through the first song, and I felt awful when I gave a him shut up, please face, because he was making us deaf. Anyway, the set was the same kind of thing as the UK tour, and here are the songs they played. From Tigermilk: My Wandering Days Are Over From TWATTYBUS: The Boy With The Arab Strap Simple Things To Make A Young Boy Sigh From FISHYCLAP: The Model Dont Leave The Light On Baby The Wrong Girl Womens Realm Theres Too Much Love From the EPs: Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie Legal Man Jonathan David From the Peel Sesh: The Magic Of A Kind Word My Babys Got Miraculous Technique Two New Songs: Wandering Alone Untitled Stevie Song Of the new songs, Wandering Alone was the better one I thought, although I thought both were grand. WA is a regular Struan song nice, pretty, very B&S and he needed the lyrics for it, which were produced from backstage scribbled on a piece of manuscript paper, so it must be pretty new (or very old). The other one was quite a Spanish sounding, almost country-and-western style jaunt sung by Stevie, which Hannah suggested (and I agreed) sounded like the Mavericks. But in a Good Way. The gig, overall, was just superb, and I might even venture to say it was better than the RAH, perhaps because the sound quality was better, i.e. not so much echo, and slightly louder. The band was really tight, and they seemed to be having fun. Richard gurned as only he can. Isobel looked very pretty as only she can. Struan danced as only he can. But perhaps the cutest moment in the gig came after the opening song, when a little envelope was passed from the crowd. Struan came down to collect it. It had lots of little twee stickers and the words For Chris written in felt-tip pens on the front, and it was really sweet. Struan gave it to Beans and he blushed But anyway, I was trying to think was I was going to write in this post on the way home from the festival yesterday, and I think Ive got it: The sound that B&S make is like an old, favourite, wooly jumper its so comforting and familiar and such a warm-fuzzy feeling. I thought so anyway. I came away from the tent that night feeling like a proud father, which seems a tad bizarre, although I think I can justify it: In the campsite earlier that day, we were telling people to go and see B&S, and they were going, Yeah, right, okay rather dismissively. So when they played such a brilliant gig, I just wanted to go up to Struan and hug him and say thanks, not just for playing a great gig, but for proving to so many people how great Id said they were. Okay, so Im not being particularly articulate this afternoon, but hopefully youll get my drift. So yeah, they were fab, and we met Jordi, among other Sinisterines, and that too was fun. And that was about it the rest of the festival was fab, too, but thats probably the bit you guys are most interested in + + + + + + END OF BENICASSIM GIG REVIEW + + + + + + + + + But wow! Things here are getting a bit uppity at the moment arent they? I totally concur with Honey and all that he said. But then again most other people probably do, too. Perhaps Honey just needs to bang some peoples heads together to make them let the subject drop. Thats all Ill say on that. The picnic the other Saturday was fun. It was fab meeting the York massive you are all lovely people. MIGMKs dry wit made me chuckle lots. Indeed, Mummy Ive Grazed My Knee said: >>>At the other end of the scale, Sam Walton was much bigger than I thought. >>>He looks like beans. I shall only take that as a compliment. But tell me Chris, what kind of beans? Mange-tout? Runner? Baked? Cmon, youre driving me schizo here On the same subject of the picnic, Mr Apps Ben B said: >>>There must be dozens of young hopefuls queuing up to have Asm Awlton's >>>nimble fingers dancing on their neck <Gosh!>. I'm gonna bring percussion >>>instead. But alas, all hopes of that will be dashed next picnic, as I will bring my own geeetar. Ill bring my trumpet too, since it was such a hit last time. I might even bring my kazoo, so I can do that bit off Mayfly. So yeah, what else has been happening? Brier Random said: >>>The only thing I can't get is the line in "My Girl's Got Miraculous >>>Technique" (which is the best song of the lot) which sounds like >>>"Pee-pee, I made a bill Im pretty sure the lyric is John Peel at Maida Vale/I got my clothes dry-cleaned to commemorate the day, but I might be wrong Chim-Chim quoted Cake in a post. This is definitely a Good Thing. If only theyd tour the UK more. Perhaps Ill join a Cake list and complain And that really is about it. Sorry that this post has been so long, but I had to write about Benicassim, and well, once I got started... Its cold here, and warm in Spain. Its not fair. Love, Asm.x ================= "Shut up!

Sinister: Duca Conte Federico II da Montefeltro
by Stefano Santabarbara 09 Aug '01

09 Aug '01

Dear Sinesters back at home (and at work) after a few days of holiday in the centre of Italy. I must confess I've missed so much all the sinistrities and I've been just glad to find something like 150 message to be read in mailbox!!! nonetheless we spent same nice days even we have jumped once in a while in about an hour non-sense talking on about what to do further... which is simple a basic character of holidays with lazy (at least as me) friends. Probably this was also due to the fact we have been in the same place quite recently, which is a bit strange for me as I quite often hate do to the same things as a routine. that is what it should be considered if one takes the winter and summer holidays in the exactly the same place, same rooms almost same everything but me. After a few hours I've felt into a kind of lovesickness (and since then I've turn most f my thought to you all dear sinisters, indeed). The winter is great. I can remember walking around the walls being half a frozen penguin in the end. walking is as great as winter. Walking is magnificent since it is possible to think a lot while jumping from one place to another. Thinking in loneliness is usually brilliant as no-one cane find the missing element in the senseless speculation, which will anyway came out, finally (loneliness of the mid-distance runner?). I love to *walk*. Hence in the last days I've formulated a number of great well argued discussion of key topic about the meaning of life and so on being in tight agreement with myself, which is not that bad at the end. On the other hand is very better to walk against a freezing blowing wind that under a full bright sunshine. It was also much better to think to have someone waiting for you once you would have been back, but unfortunately, and obviously I mean for me, this was also on of my fine speculation, which as usual turns out to be as much wrong as you can imagine. Which makes me wonder if I simply walk to much...mhmhmhm... If April is the cruelest month , what about August?. In the evening we had some nice concerts, most of I've enjoyed the wonderful STEREOLAB, which was simply fantastic. the combination of the temperature and the crowd made the nights quite clammy, even thought after a few beers it can be considered acceptable. Not to say how much I would have loved to see our beloved B&S on the stage... take care gasoline and amiltripthiline stefano P.S.: In will spent a few weeks in Australia (pacific coast) being sent there for a congress (quire lucky this time). I was wondering if there is any of the sinisters which would like to meet me and spend some sinisters hours? I'll be in Brisbane from the 18 to the 24-25 Aug., and then I have no plans but I'll stay for sure till Sept. the 10th , and I will probably go to Melbourne where I have the plane back to Italy... It will be simple great to meet someone someway familiar !!! all the best your stefano :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Stefano Centro CNR Biologia Cellulare e Molecolare dell Piante Sez.
