Sinister: I miss the rising action...but it rocks
by Genevieve Wesley 06 Aug '01

06 Aug '01

Oh Ken, how could you be so out of it? Belle and Sebastian going to Brazil for the soccer? Fiddlesticks! It's obviously for the bikinis as their new single is going to be called 'Fio Dental'. Honey's news breaking bulletin about possible singer Angelina Jolie with B&S made me explode (but in a fun way). I keep telling people but no one believes me. My mother seems anxious about the well-being of the band. "Oh no, she'll be bringing that husband of hers! The knives and things..." she said worriedly, furrowing her brow. I don't know why they have to do Wild Thing though. Nonetheless, let's all go see Original Sin to celebrate. Jay was writing about how he thought You're Just A Baby was much seedier, well it probably is, but you know how everyone adapts songs to their own purposes. I'm like that with other things, I'll twist stupid little things into meaning much more. Oh dear, I'm have a moment, but I do have a special affection for that song, because in grade 10 I did a claymation to it, and the two characters in it (Belle and Sebastian) were really stand ins for me and this record store boy. I just loved the line 'there must be a reason for all the looks we gave/and all the things we never said before' it just seems very innocent to me, like OH stupid boy why do we play these games, I know it's just a ruse when you call my house to tell me a record is in, secretly it's for me and me and me! Actually then, this changes the tragic love triangle. Struan would be the friend of the girl, the boy who plays guitar, and he has a secret love for her, but she just sees him as a friend, not knowing he loves her! Or maybe she's a chambermaid and he's a vicar. All the while she is complaining about the jerk she has to marry. But if he's a jerk, why is she marrying him? Oh, some girls are like that. But Shush! It's not important so let's cut to the dewy fields and moonlit forest scene. Where is the Saccharine's Head? I have to catch The Peacock when I'm in Glasgow, if only for a moment. I figure this would be his place? The Crystal Methods new album is called Tweekend, which makes it seem all lilacs and kittens. Alright, Fairs Do! Love, Genevieve p.s. xoxo _________________________________________________________________ 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: i'm happy and i'm singing and a 1, 2, 3, 4
by Johan Nilsson 06 Aug '01

06 Aug '01

Astrid started it so I am just following up... Buddy Cole, barlfly, philosopher, and softball coach. Did you know that there is a book by Scott Thompson (and Paul Bellini) entitled "Buddy Babylon : The Autobiography of Buddy Cole", it's the cat's pyjamas. Favorite Buddy Cole scenario. Buddy Cole is sent to a desert island and whom did he take with him? Oscar Wilde... Buddy: Oscar, say something funny. Oscar: Shall I? Buddy: Yes do your stuff, do the "wilde" thing. Oscar: Well, Buddy, I recall as I laid dying in my death bed I came out of my stupor momentarily and declared with perfect aplomb either that wallpaper goes or I do. Buddy: Oh that was rich Oscar. Oh, geeze, let me catch my breath for a second. Oh, oh I am so glad that I brought you and not someone common. Oscar: Message received Buddy. You know Buddy the trouble with the common man... Buddy: Yes? Oscar: Is that he is so unbearably common! Buddy: Oh Oscar, funny but you're such a snob. Oscar: Oh that's my charm. Buddy: Oh, oh, it's really too bad that you're dead. Oscar: Oh I know. Buddy: Does it bother you? Oscar: Well you know Buddy I'd rather be in Philadelphia. Buddy: Um, that's funny but W.C. Fields said it. Oscar: Well yes, if you had been listening to me correctly Buddy what you would have heard me say was, "I may have been born yesterday but I still went shopping." Buddy: That was me. Oscar: Oh yes, well I seem to be getting a bit of laryngitis Buddy, I'm afraid there'll be no more quipping today. Side note: W.C Fields (died in 1946), once said; "I don't drink water, fish fuck in it". Oscar Wilde (died in 1900), once said; "Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same". If, with the literate, I am Impelled to make an epigram, I never seek to take the credit; We all assume that Oscar said it. -Dorothy Parker (died in 1967) oh the last one came out of no where... but I still think Llew and Dorthy are wrong, boys do make passes on girls with glasses. Malmcolm X (died in 1965) and Yoko Ono (I never really liked her but I liked her hubby, who died in 1980) are sitting in a bistro in Rome... Yoko: Oh the food's terrible. But the waiter's hilarious. I spent the Saturday drinking Chilian wine with a nice girl in the rain during a walk around an old mine that they filled with water and kids swim in these days. They say it's bottomless but I asked a diver who was diving around and he said it was just 13-14 meters deep. It's always easier to make a pass on a girl if it is raining and you have just shared a bottle of Chilian wine. Peak of my weekend, friday i was just sitting around in a bar with friends jokes... I was waking in the park the other day and I saw this girl with a dog. So I went up to her and pat the dog and asked, what kind of dog is this. The girl said, it's a police dog. I couldn't tell I said, she said, that's because it belongs to the secret police. The new Wilco album "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" stellar. I read a review of Storytelling in Dazed and Confused, you know the movie Belle and Sebastian and Nathan Larson (ex. Shudder to Think, now married with Nina in the Cardigans and part member of A Camp and also makes solo music I guess) is making the soundtrack for. It says it's not as good as Happiness, but still said it was one of the best movies of Cannes 2001, so that's not really a bad review, excited to see it. Did I tell you that the new Wilco album stellar? Probably, I'm running out of tricks, time to go to bed.

Sinister: tickets for sale
by MotherSuperior8＠aol.com 05 Aug '01

05 Aug '01

Ah yes, tis me again. Well i managed to get my Saturday tickets at the Warfield today but now I'm stuck with trying to get rid of my Sunday tickets. So, if anyone is planning on buying Sunday B&S tickets for the Warfield perhaps you could consider buying them from me. They are general admission tickets and maybe I can take just a wee bit off of the original total to inspire someone to buy them from me. Please think about it and get back to me. Leah And even though its off the subject I feel like mentioning that I saw Depeche Mode in concert last night. We had lawn seats until some guy walked up to us out of the blue and said "Heres 4 front row tickets." I just about peed my pants. I was so close that David Gahan actually sweat on me. And yes that is rather disgusting, but when your in the middle of it all its pretty damn cool. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Portable Shrews
by mummy i've grazed my knee 05 Aug '01

05 Aug '01

This list is on fire, it seems like the whole of America has suddenly joined. Anyway, I hope you chaps and lasses all have fun at the west coast gigs. Big Stu suggested that getting excited about Belle And Sebastian gigs is so last month. He's wrong. I'm still excited and it's over a month since I saw them. Come to think of it, this time last month was the Ipswich gig. I have news to report to the list. Two of our number are together in a romantic sense. I've giggled already and blushed and whispered to Sam Walton and so now it's your turn. Mr. Hallifax and Miss Feather Boa love each other and she's a girl and he's a boy...eughhh! I saw them behind the portakabin where Barry with the mucky hands once found a dead shrew and put it on a stick to show Gemma. She didn't like it. Moving on... Jo's photos from the Scarborough gig have got to me and they are great! There is a wonderful one of us and Struan and another with Struan pulling a cheeky naughty boy face next to me. I think he had just been behind the portakabin as well. Isobelle and Mick look lovely too. Thank you to Nick for complementing me on my colour coordinatedness at the picnic. I was only wearing rugby socks because my feet were hurting as I ran round the tube. I actually ran around the stations, not the trains. Madeleine keeps saying things which make me smile and go 'hmmmm' a lot. Thank you. Carsmile Steve: Did you meet Gina? She was the only member of the York massive still actually in York. If anyone wants a portakabin, they make them in York in things that look like giant portakabins. I don't know how that works. Which came first, the stuff to make them with or the stuff to make them in? Chris Jones. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: under heavy manners
by Steven Kado 05 Aug '01

so i came home one day to find a mouse had gone mt.etna in my kitchen. which was more like making mincemeat than a mountain of a molehill since the poor bastard decided to play in my air-cleaner and ended up coming out of the top vent of said contraption in a volcano-like spew. he bent one of the fan blades inside too and i had to scrape him off the walls and floor etc. made me kind of glad that i have to move in early september. yet seeing the potential places to move into is also kind of horrifying....the rental market in this city is horrid. anyway... i can almost hear robyn fadden from here, going 'hear me! i gloat! hear me gloat! terah teree!" about her impending vancouver show at the prestigeous croatian cultural center! which is on commercial avenue, which is where her trent lives i hear... she'll probably just stroll on over to the show after having some kind of home made pasta extravaganza at his place and then see belle and sebastian with perfect hair like she was just stepping out for some milk or something. fug. "hey, i'm just zipping down the street to see belle and sebastian play at the croatian's." "ok, i'll come with you, remind me to get some more yoghurt on the way back." LENIN IS MY UNICORN, YOU ARE MY PEGASUS yeah, so i'm not screaming with tears like i'm tim kinsella or anything about the lack of belle and sebastian touring toronto. i mean, i always feel uncomfortable about being reminded that toronto isn't the center of the entire universe and that all bands must play here because we matter more than vancouver, and have better clothes over-all and fewer hippies (who really bring the clothes average down) and none of those fucking mountains blocking your uninterrupted view of the smog or buffalo like we do. actually, i think the mountains also figure in to their egregious hippie problem too....hmmm....anyway, they (meaning neil) apologised to us for finking out twice and they'll come eventually or maybe they'll break up and never play here ever. for the record thousands of great bands haven't come to toronto ever or haven't come in the longest time or broke up before they got here. i don't think the pastels ever made it to toronto. in their entire breif career i don't think that young marble giants ever played toronto. all kinds of awesome US bands don't play here, the makeup played here once (twice?) and then avoided us for 3 years n' then broke up, poundsign haven't ever come; the clientele played toronto but were horrid...personally i'm more upset about new order not playing toronto than belle and sebastian. new order! why have you deserted me?! i think i'll grow a beard that i won't shave until i get to see new order. no, beards are bad. as surely as marijuana leads to heroin, beards lead to either increasing unwonted eccentricity or hemp clothing and arhythmic djembe playing. personally, i think belle and sebastian are too FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN to play toronto. toronto is the city that they DARE NOT play. they're afraid that some band from missassaugua or dundas will upstage them, they're afraid of the locust like swarms of APHIDS that throng the streets and cram the airconditioners. yeah...i'm totally offended that neil didn't come out with the truth...they're just too damn scared to face toronto. grrrr. yeah, i dunno what the entire kerfuffle from julie, deb and all was about with the belle and sebastian not coming to our big important east coast cities...red geisha was like 'indie toronto will implode without an important visit from the twee royal family!' and i was all like 'holy alarmism!' and then i thought about it and realised that really indie rock has been dead in north america ever since jad fair learned how to play guitar and that the rest of its all been some kind of vanity hair extention shoulder-pad (#2) affair really -who needs modest mouse really? i'm confusing apples and oranges aren't i? no? ok, well toronto sucks indie wise anyway...its only saving grace is that its the central focus of a series of very creative suburbs that provide it every so often with fresh meat which the "scene" then grinds up and digests into a kind of inky excrement. bands actually from toronto are few and far between and usually not very good. where were the shadowy men on a shadowy planet from? were they actually from toronto? maybe they were originally from guelph... personally missassaugua is my favourite suburb. and i'm not even playing partisan since i'm from vaughn which, as debs can confirm, does indeed kind of suck. but enough toronto. i mean, whats the good of seeing belle and sebastian here anyway...they don't have anywhere near the kind of connection they've got to the UK/Scotland people, they don't play soccer with us, they don't take their shirts off in our presence, they don't recognise any of us at all...i'm guessing it'd just be a bunch of travel weary scotts stumbling around on stage talking in in-jokes developed from the uneasy insularity of touring strange places and being all inward. i have little faith in the band outside of their native habitat. ...not that that opinion is founded on my having experienced the mighty belle and sebastian live juggernaut myself, just based on poor research and a lack of faith... hey, and now that i've done biting the hand that feeds me and c. and pissed off everyone in toronto and called everyone a chump: arantxa sanz is visiting and we (in toronto) should do something for her no? well if you want to email me or something and we'll set something up. ok? yeah and then some people have been saying 'finland' and i loved finland and i want to go back and do things there and drink heavily and such. my friend osmo explained the whole donald duck thing by saying that no body likes a guy who's always magnanimous and wins all the time etc. so thats why donald duck appeals more than other disney characters, he has more human failings. the finnish! also, people have been discussing my personal hero david byrne on the list alot. i used to try and be as much like early david bryne as i could. it made conversation difficult and my suit kept getting bigger. it was kind of a pain. i can see a bit how stu looks a bit like db. but not alot. i have a picture of him staring at me from the side of my computer monitor right now... he's looking at me as if to say "you should be writing an essay, steven. working hard benefits not only yourself but also those around you." and with his tree suit on he is so persuasive and reasonable. oh david! i'm sorry i dissappoint you so often, (kiss kiss). phew... and that ties in nicely to giggling at conceptual art, which is kind of what its made for isn't it? like with funny movies shown at 'art house' theaters you're ability to laugh shows just how far ahead of the entire room of turtleneck people you really are. who ever it was should definitely keep laughing at 'art'. yeah>>> and astrid mentioned kids in the hall! hooray! i thought that kids in the hall was completely unheard of in northern europe. the finns i met had certainly never seen it...i remember trying to drunkenly expalin gavin to some puzzled looking blonde people.

Sinister: sympathy for the drivel.
by Richard Gillanders 05 Aug '01

ouch, recently I have become a sympathy-monger. dealing it out. receiving it. mostly receiving it. with my own style of horrendous whining about things that have happened to me. lately. I won't bore you with ALL the details. I'll bore you with a synopsis. I got ill a day before my parents left for a two week holiday far away. my brother had moved out of the family home the week before and I was all alone to mope about and cope with my first genuine illness [save colds and flus] in years. a week after my parents had gone I went to the doctor and he told me it was tonsillitis. which doesn't really sound that bad. but it hurt. I promise. the same day as finding out that I had tonsillitis and getting prescribed some anti-biotics, I went to the dentist. although I almost didn't. I got out towards where my dentist practices and I went into some kind of auto-pilot mode and turned to head for glasgow. only when driving up the slip-road onto the motorway did I realise where I was...where I should be. I drove for miles to be able to exit and turn around and get back on then exit and be where I had been fifteen minutes earlier. so I exit and turn around and get back on and almost end up where I had been fifteen minutes earlier. but, instead, I drive into the back of another car at a junction. now. I wasn't not looking and, like, assuming that he had driven off. it was, like, I wasn't looking and he, that guy, he must have gone...because he had so much time to be able to go. okay. so it was like I wasn't looking and assumed he'd driven off. it was like it. I've never been in a proper accident before. except when I went around a corner once and ended up with the vauxhall nova I was driving on its side. but that doesn't count. the man I hit was english and very friendly and understanding. he took all my details and gave me all his and patted me on the back. [I looked ill and shocked, he was being sympathetic]. I went to the dentist. he looked at my teeth for thirty, or so, seconds and said 'perfect teeth'. I wish I hadn't gone to the dentist. a synopsis has to be brief? but I've had joy too. the night of the day of the doctor/crash/dentist, I went to see a band in glasgow called stabiliser. that was real fun. and there was nice company and we had some nice jokes made. and I stayed at my brother's flat. we get on much better now that we hardly see each other. then, the next morning, I got to show a lovely greek lady around glasgow. I'm not sure how much of a good job I did. but it was fun. dimitra [the lovely greek lady] could barely understand a word I said at first, but soon we were communicating quite well. unless all that nodding was just out of politeness. I showed her some nice places that I could think of. I'm sure there are a lot of nice places I couldn't think of. but we ended up, later on, in bacchus drinking orange juice and drawing maps on the backs of flyers with coloured pens while being serenaded [until the interruption by the final night of 'big brother'] by a selection of music from the king of partick's collection. that was fun. I enjoyed it. I took my anti-biotics. then, the next morning, I got to go to north berwick via edinburgh for a picnic. again there was nice company and some nice jokes made. I had a nice bottle of wine. I postponed my anti-biotic intake especially. I had shorts for the beach but never felt inclined to exchange my trousers for them. I was aurally assaulted in 'the golfer's rest'. but I won't mention that again. in this post. we went back to edinburgh and walked around and were told where people used to work. for most of the time. gordon found a tramp to chat with on the high street. and sweetie finally got her obligatory snog of the evening. andrew got a snog too. I got on a train and went home. oh. with two lovely cassettes that had been made gifts of to me. thanks. and william and gordon displayed some fun photos of the day on the internet. which is fun. I had a story about a bathroom, a fly, a copy of 'moby dick' and a spider in the bath. but that's about the extent of the story. so. when I originally considered posting again I wanted it to be called 'the dean and I' and for it to be all about extolling the many, wonderful virtues of that rumpled romeo dean friedman. but I thought it might put people off reading anything else I ever wrote in the future. although, I had some funny things to say about the dean. and I. [late] on saturday the fourteenth of july, breanne l. day at seductive_b(a)yahoo.ca said: 'red bull and vodka'. I would tend to agree. still no posts about benicassim? I heard they played two new songs. and that they were nice. I could go on... but I won't. okay? I just wanted to add some variety. some contrast to the fleeting reply-to-a-reply[-to-a-reply] posts. or the ones that mention some gigs. I don't know about how to choose where to play gigs. as I gave up playing the violin a long time ago; I doubt I'll ever have to face such a dilemma. time to get comfortable. thanks for all the sympathy, sure. now I aim to get some pity. I have a lot of drawings I have to do...ugh. yes, richard. ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Isobel is about as saucy as dry toast, only less saucy

Hello all, some briefish, vaguely non-earthshaking things... A Mr. Timothy has given me a splendid idea for the mixtape of sinister proportions, (to be titled: It's Where We Live) not only music mentioned on sinister, but music created by people ON sinister. If you make music (good music only please, but I tease...nevermind) and think putting it on my mixtape would be at least mildly pleasant, let me know and we'll make arrangements. C'mon struggling musicians, give me your dreams. And a plea: Please have a picnic in August. If at all possible sometime after the 25th. Why you ask? Because I'll be there and on my list of life goals going to a sinister picnic is pretty up there, hovering around being a sentient being and finding out that Alex Trebek's mustache is fake, then ripping it off. Ha.ha. That's all for me for now, I should get some sleep resembling stuff. I won't, but I should. Love and tasty food (what could be better?)
