Sinister: Ick
by Intellectualvoid＠aol.com 08 Aug '01

Dearest Sinister, This whole upheaval about touring and such has left me feeling quite drained and shaken. I must say, being an American (had no choice, now, did I?) I do dislike hearing a word like "American-centric." It may be true for some, but certainly not for all. Now, not to start another flaming debate, but really, I'm so *sad* to hear of such stereotyping. It's terribly unfair, even if warranted on some levels. Oh well. Moving on. . . (those are key words). . . I'm slacking off at work once again. I have approximately 12 more minutes to do so. I'm trying to keep healthy boundaries. I decided to write all you lovely people, because I like you. I trust that those who sauntered off to Spain for a weekend of musical luxury enjoyed themselves greatly. Oh, and Mr. Mikkelson: I SAW THE FLY EPISODE. That was just an aside, but had to be done. This past Sunday, I leapt into a car and headed out for the open road. Call it a Jack Keroac moment. I needed freedom. Actually I was in search of the perfect, metaphorical photo of "where I live." Don't know what possessed me. I don't even know that I'm artistically equipped to attempt such a highbrow thing. But dammit, I rose to the occassion. I think. We'll see when I get the pictures back. The nice bit was driving on backroads through all those towns (Congress, Jerome, Peeples Valley - they can't spell there, apparantly) that literally have a roadside restaurant and a gas station. God, I love the countryside. Even more exciting was a sign that read, "Dead things back Alive: Antiques." Ooooh, I would've loved to see what graced the shelves of that clapboard hole. Too bad it was Sunday. Maybe next time. Well, my 12 minutes of bullsh*t are up, I'm afraid. I'd tell you how excited I was to receive my SF tickets in the mail, but I don't particularly want to add fuel to the fire. Much love, really. Shannon. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: What do you want to do now?
by Will Salt 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

Hello, Sinister. I've just been away. My first holiday in five years, and I come back and war seems to have broken out on Sinister. Lovely. I don't understand what these people are whining about; Scarborough, Aberdeen and Ipswich are *all* on the east coast. Personally, I think they should have played Cleethorpes Pier, but you can't have everything. So, I went on holiday. Normally I live in Scotland, but I decided to spend the weekend in England, just for the hell of it. I decided to visit Ealing, just because it's one of those places that nobody ever goes for their holiday. I book my tickets and everything, and then war breaks out there too. Still, I went anyway, and only *half* the place was cordoned off. The *real* reason I decided to go to Ealing on holiday was that I got invited to a party there. So, I went to the party, and drank far too much. After volunteering to escort someone back to the tube, I returned to the party, but passed out in the garden. In the rain. For four hours. Eventually the host dragged me back inside and sat me on the stairs whilst he went off snogging a cute boy he works with. His Dutch flatmate wrapped me in a sleeping bag, and I sat their staring into space until there was enough level space free inside for me to pass out again. So, if anyone was at a party in west London on Saturday and remembers seeing someone with hair in bunches, exceedingly drunk and half-covered in mud, then please forget it as soon as you can. It wasn't me, honest. Still, I had a good Rest Of The Time down in England, because I got to be a tourist and go round all the standard-issue tourist places like the British Museum and Tate Modern. I didn't have time to see the Vermeer exhibition at the National Gallery though, and I just couldn't be arsed queuing for that big ferris-wheel thing. I did see someone with an Ampersand t-shirt, though, waiting for a bus on Buckingham Palace Road. I wanted to stop and say "Oooh! B&S!", but I was too shy. The subject line, incidentally, is a phrase that Dimitra told me she likes. Well, one she heard a lot, or something, anyway. Somehow, I have gained grazes all over my elbows. I think it must have happened when I was drunk. Well, I'm off to Glasgow tomorrow to meet another listee, Johnjohn from Dingwall. I hope he's not too scary. bye, people Will -- ICQ 66321009 http://www.btinternet.com/~wpsalt/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Bay Area Heat....I Could Be Dreaming
by Keith Davis 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

The heat is rising and the days I count until the concert melt away. This will be my 2nd post and I can honestly say, I love this madly! I went to a bar in San Jose (Which for those not aware, is south east of San Fran, across the bay) that was appropriately called "Panic". A Smiths/Brit-Pop bar every 1st and 3rd of the month. I was in pure ecstasy when "Electronic Renaissance" came on! What a great tune to dance to (The wop or any variation of the Molly Ringwald dance). A friend who had never heard of Belle and Sebastian loved it and will be purchasing "Tigermilk" today. I am glad to say folks I have recruited yet another admirer. Shall I start my own cult? The DJ continued to play such great's as The Charlatans UK, Air, Morrissey, New Order, Pulp, Suede and on and on! I have found my new spot for the time being. Hope to continue spreading good word of mouth on this great band!

Sinister: SecretUnderwearSpotting
by craigrm 08 Aug '01

Can the list really be 4 years old ?!? ... blimey you take your eyes off them for a second and all of a sudden they've grown-up. It won't be long before Sinister starts staying out all night without phoning home and hanging around with a rough crowd causing no end of grief for poor list mummy Honey as most awkward adolescents seem to do. Fortunately it's probably just a phase and little Sini will soon grow out of it. On behalf of 50% of the population (namely the males) I'd like to beg for less strict picnic underwear guidelines as most boys underwear is spectacularly unattractive. No slinky red satin knickers for us, noooo not at all and in many ways it's like the last 20 years just didn't happen underwear-wise. Sceptics need look no further than the men's underwear/socks section next time you're in M&S and you'll be confronted by a montage of faded blues, sickly grays and tragic taupe's. All vastly more suited to a damp, poorly heated bedsit in [insert name of your favourite drab town] than poking out provocatively from the top of your bestest jeans at the next Sinister shindig. Anyway some content is called for I believe ..... err good to see someone called "William the Bloody" posting. Buffy and B&S go together nicely but it's probably too late to add "The Bronze - Sunnydale" to the US tour, that Richard Colburn geezer could kick some serious undead butt given half the chance. Sorry this post isn't that earth shattering, haven't done one for a while so I'm a wee bit rusty. Toodles, Craig x ps: obviously my comments about the plainness of gentlemen's undergarments doesn't apply to our Ken, we all know his pants are dead flash and shimmer like liquid gold in the pale moonlight. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Don't be talking to me about that crowd
by P F 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

Muslin prints, silk, dames and dowagers, jingle of harnesses, hoofthuda lowringing in the baking causeway. HMV Dublin is still there 10 years on. It has tons of good records - about 20 different LPs by Ella Fitzgerald. I was a tad surprised. They have some Lloyd Cole LPs, too. Readers in Ireland should go and buy them. Readers in England should stop and buy them. The rainstorms blasting across Merrion Square. Declan Kiberd out in paperback, though not in person. The invisibility of the baths in Tara Street. Baths? What baths? Perhaps the map just meant that the apartment building contained baths. Then why didn't it add: 'cookers'? 'Tara Street' remains a lovely name, I've always said it. The two hours' schlepp South in the midst of the night. The nonchalance with which Bewley's have a James Joyce Room with no other reference to the man. The lights of Dun Laoghaire and the Pigeon House receding through the rain from the deck of the Ulysses. (Yes - the Ulysses.) Nora Barnacle's Food Emporium. Why does Boylan's Brasserie sell Buck Mulligan's Chicken? Why chicken? 'My father's a bird'. The children who discussed Titanic. - I heard that it wasn't true when they were sailing, but it was true when they sank. - How could they have sunk if they weren't sailing? Honestly, the perversity of that one reminded me of Myles. Maybe it was cos I had Myles in my hand at the time, like a divil for the books. The Kaiser said that maybe we should write about things from the archives. But Kaiser - I do! Maybe I should join his foot. ball. team. Then I might catch up with where he's headed. He's heading for 1998. That's OK, but I still think we should aim for a bit further back. Cabbage boiled over and talked about picknickers. Name your colour, son, and don't change it. It's like taking a pen. The Velocity Girl surprised us all with her skilful imitations of Catholic hack Burgess. She left a load of fashion tips that I couldn't follow. She certainly is front, I mean, back, I mean, de retour. Anne Bancroft used the new verb 'geehawed', and said that people on sinister were gradually becoming more familiar. The thing is, in my case they're gradually becoming *less* familiar. She also said that folk were in a tizzy about B&S playing. And they are, but heaven knows I'm not. I'm more excited about the results of the Barcelona Summit. Was a plastic-guitar treaty signed? And did protesters lurk beyond the lines of riot gas and tear police, crying "I speet on your 70s WHO references!! and "Your All Things Must Pass blows!"? Honey said we needed more 'flaming'. I agree, it's good. Here goes: Edna Welthorpe is a reactionary cow who probably voted for Perot. That's how 'dumb' she is! Plus, she never posts, also. She's probably not even reading this. You know why? She can't read! Cor. More of that later. Meantime, I have to go back to HMV and think about David Jones and Leicester City Bowie. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Sinister: neil vs. americans, sunday sunday sunday!
by Rinaldo Thatchez 08 Aug '01

Ah, the beauty of opinions truly does lie in their similarity to assholes. Everybody's got one, though not everyone is so keen on having you share it with them. Add me to the tally of those who profess their reluctance to chime in just as they do so but I couldn't hold my tongue any longer after seeing Eric's post. I beg your tolerance in this matter because I really am acting (I hope) in the interest of the public good. My points are few and will be made as quickly as possible. Ahem, 1. "christ, I'm tired of this. let's all move on" It seems every post on this subject has contained some variation on this. It's really just an indirect way of saying "please let me have the last word". If you really want an issue to die, DON'T BRING IT UP. Learning this now will save you and your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse a lot of grief. The trick is choosing your battles and caring more about peace than winning. 2. Mr. Robertson is one hell of a great guy. It is very nice of him and the folks at jeepster to keep us informed and reign us in when our speculation gets out of control (notice how silent they were on the issue of Isobel's head scarf though? hmmm). Did he overreact? Was he "unprofessional"? Maybe. Was he right? Definitely. Julie sounded like a brat and she aimed not at the lamentable situation but at the people she thought were responsible. Wait your turn may be hard to hear, but it's something most of us have already had to do, so suck it up. Julie would do well to phrase her complaints more carefully. I am sure many of us sympathized (not me mind; I've got a ticket) but the list rules are there for a reason and we've all been reminded of what they say about personal attacks. 3. My only complaint about Neil and some of his subsequent sinister defenders is their apparent willingness to attribute the complainants' attitude to their nationality. C'mon guys, that hurts. I personally plan to follow the Kyoto treaty to the letter. That's a slippery slope too. Perhaps you'd like to similarly generalize about the tendencies of Pakistanis or Jews? I'm not accusing anyone of any maliciousness or prejudice, just something to think about. Thanks for listening, or reading, to the few of you left who can't get enough of this psychodrama. I hope we can put this behind us soon [not now of course because see point #1 and I don't expect to get off clean after coming so close to calling Julie a brat and Neil a racist (if you read carefully you'll see I did neither)] and I really think we'll emerge stronger for it. Or just disappear. Whichever's fine with me. I never liked us much anyway. - Rinaldo ----Original Message Follows---- From: eric the half a bee <cheesebunhead(a)yahoo.co.uk> Reply-To: eric the half a bee <cheesebunhead(a)yahoo.co.uk> To: sinister(a)missprint.org Subject: Sinister: neil vs. americans, sunday sunday sunday! Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2001 00:12:13 +0100 (BST) I've been trying and trying to stay out of this, but I'm tired of getting posts about the following: 1) neil is wonderful 2) neil is evil 3) americans aren't better than anyone else 4) fans do/do not have any special claim on the object of their fandom to everyone who thinks julie was complaining about the lack of a b&s east coast tour, go and read her post again. here, I've made it easy for you: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/latest/msg00050.html about neil's response: yes, julie was harsh. but, I think it was meant to be *humorous* (albeit spot-on). even if julie called neil every name in the book (which she didn't) neil should have the restraint, maturity, and common sense not to publicly attack her. he is supposedly a professional, and professionals don't act like that, and the fact that he did is more proof in defense of julie's points. christ, I'm tired of this. let's all move on. -eric ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: I've solved it!
by dougal shaw 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

This thing goes pretty deep. To understand this whole issue of touring schedules we have to look a little further back. During the Scottish tour, B and S deliberatley snubbed the capital, Edinburgh, which lies (proudly) on the East coast. They played two dates in their hometown of grubby Glasgow, forcing people (like myself) to make the humiliating journey from Edinburgh to rival Glasgow to see our favourite band. This is the genesis of B and S' anti-East Coast mentality. Their cavalier attitude to New York parallels their disdain for Edinburgh - just because we have the parliament, and New York has the Strokes! B and S are fundamentally an anti-East Coast band. This Coastal divide has plagued the rap industry in America. I just pray to God Stuart Murdoch isn't in any danger in California. I believe Suge Knight is just out of prison as well. Are our American comrades willing to take a bullet for the author of Fox in the Snow? Talking about missing out on the band, I have personally suffered a more depressing fate than NY. I had booked flights to go to California before the tour was announced, and I arrive just as the band are leaving. I think we should just be stoic about theses things. Belle and Sebastian are an unorthodox band, so perhaps we should accept that their touring schedule is not as orthodox and tightly regimented as Pearl Jam's, or Mr. Judas Priest's. I think there is no way they would pass up the opportunity to play the East Coast. Belle and Sebastian, like many Scots, have a fascination with America. Hence all the references to America on TBWTAS and Stuart Murdoch's unhealthy interest in baseball. dougal _________________________________________________________________ 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.

> So. What should my next karaoke performance involve then? Anyone who's > seen me do it knows that I'm not too keen on three note dirges like, > say, "Life is a Rollercoaster" by big gay Robbo. I need melody! I need > flamboyance! I need ball-squeezing falsetto passages! And I need > inspiration. Help me! Look I can do more than 3 notes I just happen to be obsessed with Ronan Keating. It's not a bad thing to be obsessed with. He used to be a right little tiger and now he's a very clean cut boy. An example to us all. In fact next month I'm doing a tour of Ireland, specifically to places that were important to Ronan in the Rollercoaster ride that has been his life. Hopefully that will involve a few pubs. Talking of rollercoasters are there any bad songs with Rollercoaster in the title? B&S (look I've mentioned them!), Bewitched, Ronan, Showaddywaddy, Red House Painters. All fantastic songs I think we'll all agree on. Anyway, I thoroughly recommend reading Life is a Rollercoaster the autobiography of "The Man" it really is a treat and lets you get to know the real Ronan. Amazon.com gives it 5 stars, and the only other book I've seen on their that gets close is about fisting. Though I'm sure some of those reviews aren't taking it seriously... Oh and back to karaoke I have moved on from Ronan. As Ronan has himself move on from the Boyzone days, he's out conquering America, maybe even the East Coast, and I'm singing Westife songs. Well a Westlife covered song that give Billy Joel a reason to exist. Which isn't easy. Being all of Westlife at once really is a thrill. A bit like having your cake, eating it and smearing it into.... Oh but don't worry Ronan and I are still very close... On another note I'm going to the zoo in a week. I shall be there before 2:30pm as that's penguin feeding time. Fishcakes all round!

Sinister: Slinky outfits
by Sally_Moore＠mandg.co.uk 08 Aug '01

Miss Alder we could go the whole hog and get red dresses to match our knickers, then we'll look like brazen hussies, wouldn't that be fun. Or maybe black dresses with red fishnets, I think the elephants would like that. Mr B you had better not buy second hand pants, yuck. Also, you might have to leave your big headed guitar at home. Chris has promised us dancing, and seeing as we are indie kids this will surely be in a teeny weeny club where they have no cloakroom, so where on earth will you put it? Peter Miller, I did lunch with my Mum yesterday and we talked about you! She also told me about a fantastic Belle & Sebastian guided tour you can go on in Barcelona. Why don't they do those in London, it's so not fair.

Sinister: It's not against any religion to want to dispose of a pigeon
by Lucy Alder 08 Aug '01

08 Aug '01

Sweetie pies, Honey always says about writing the sort of sinister post you'd like to read. Well, obviously, my favourite sort of post is by *ME* so here I am, back from (relative) lurkerdom. Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin. Michael Jackson is the twee-est of the twee. Not only does he have his very own personal funfair so he can eat candy fwoss and scare himself silly on the Thomas the Tank Engine ride, but when he last came to London he invited Macauley Culkin round to his penthouse suite for a teddy bears' picnic. Aw! Cute! Who wants to be like Michael Jackson, then? Not me! I think at the next Sinister picnic I'll slink across the Regents Park turf in something tight, black and low-cut. I'll slip out of my stilettos, wriggle my scarlet tipped toes and recline, pointing my bosom at the sun, and soak up her warmth while sipping Brandy Alexanders. Will you be my personal cocktail waiter? Yay! Red knicker day picnic marks four years of Sinister and two years of me being on it! Hmmm, mustn't wear the same red undies as last year. Oh, what a shame, I'll have to go shopping. Should one wear big pants or a g-string? What is your preference? I suppose it depends on what you're wearing them under. I mean, I'm not sure I'd want my intimo to show under a pair of trousers that were a bit tight around the rear, although I do know of certain pervy gentlemen who like to see a visible panty line. Oh, the decisions! I need some advice here, people! Gorgeously dressed Sinisterines Miss Velocity, Miss Sally, Miss Honey, Miss Pauline Shivers, Miss Ken, what should I do? Maybe I need a little wristband that, instead of saying WWJD, says WWIW (What Would Isobel Wear?) She always wears nice things. Apart from those dungaree shorts. Sister Disco met David Moore! But what I really want to know is, were photographs taken? Because I'm just desperate to know what David Moore looks like. I'm thinking of Cliff Richard. In cycling shorts. Cor! Juicy Lucy ps. The fact that I was thinking about Cliff in cycling shorts has nothing to do with the fact that I was thinking about David Moore and Peter Miller immediately beforehand. Honest. pps.
