Sinister: Police, Camera - Action Ken!
by Robin Stout 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

Hello Katy's flatmate's dog was feeling perky, so... >I even bought her a rubber toy... >I imagined that she could keep up to date on the latest in doggie >fashion... Really, the filth on this list is beyond belief. I used to think Angelina Jolie was sexy until I saw her dad, Jon Voight. They're identical! I looked at her in a whole new light after that. With mention of Voight's brother, Mr Chips, I think I've worked it out. Angelina is really Mr Chips - in drag! Every morning he slips on those magnificent magical boobs, that nylon wig and those reinforced panties, and becomes "Angelina". He lives the life of a *real* lady. A femme fatale! If only he had been born with the proper apparatus! But every night, after 'shooting', he hangs up his wig, puts his lips in a jar, and lets the cat curl up on those magical boobs he has just left sighing in the airing cupboard. Then he climbs into bed and wipes away a tear as he snuggles up to Billy Bob. He dreams of his days on Catchphrase, those glory days of fame, celebrity, rubber women and loose trousers. Or something like that. He wishes he could have those days again. Well maybe, with the help of 'Angelina' and that Scottish pop band he read about in Razzle, he can... Yes, maybe, just... maybe... If Belle and Sebastian are going to do Wild Thing, they could just stick Struan in a dress and get him to pout a bit. He's got the bum for it anyway. Sod the East Coast, what about Kidderminster? They have a fine football team. A spectacular multi stage venue (well someone could play on the steps out the back). Sure, the locals are probably easier to understand in Brazil, but whats the good of touring if you don't catch the local culture.

Sinister: The states they're not in (EXCLUSIVE Brazil tour news)
by Ken Chu 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

Hello, There was suddenly about 2339894 sinister e-mails, which is nice. Mostly about the US tour and the lack of it, well, I know the reason for this. Remember how Sturan played football on stage in Glasgow? Remember how Sturan played football outside RAH in London? Basically, Sturan just thinks that Americans are rather shite at football and so doesn't want to play there very much. That's why the band's playing in Brazil, for example. And, to quote Neil Robertson: >>The people of Japan... Italy, Norway, Greece, Argentina, Chile, Portugal, Northern Ireland .... and Denmark<< All the footballing nations! What more proof do you want?? There's a reason they didn't play in Wales... Also! I have received EXCLUSIVE news that, as a publicity stunt, Sturan's invited Ronaldo the Brazilian superstar player to play footie with the band at their Brazil gig! Since Ronaldo is currently doing fuck all with his free time, nice one Sturan! I hope the Brazilians B&S fans will take a photo of Sturan topless slide tackling Ronaldo whilst Isobel is showing her arse for 100 pounds (in weight). Also there are loads of people talking about a SF picnic, I think I should go to that, and I'll take my mates Ryu and Zangief along too. ho ho ho. (sorry) Street Fighters and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: Can't wait til B&S to come to Milton Keynes once we've successfully bought Wimbledon FC (cos that's a grate football club...) P.P.S.: A car 5 metres in front of me spun out of control and flew off the road yesterday, it was quite exciting, it was just like "Police Camera Action". and luckily no one was hurt. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: sinister: ou est le chat?
by The Hodottir 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

Hi peeps Sorry to just post with a random query, but when it comes to Friday afternoons (or Friday evenings like this one when I'm waiting to meet my friend off the train) I'd like nothing more than to pop into #sinister and have a blether with you all. Except I can't seem to get into the goddam place! I've been into IRC and keyed '#sinister' to no avail! Can someone wap-enabled (or whatever the latest terminology is) please post on how to get in. A thousand thanks, Miss Ho the Hodottir PS - shocking news about Angelina Jolie joining for a sing-song. If she can sing as well as look pretty and be the perfect Lara Croft, I'm a dried-out lip gloss. _________________________________________________________________ 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: Bay Area
by Keith Davis 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

Hello this is my first post and I am still in awe and shock that there are so many American, if not Californian, fans! I am still squeeling from the purchase of my tickets to the Belle and Sebastian show in Septmeber. How wonderful to see so many positive posts and all around niceness associated with Belle and Sebastian fans. Hope to meet some cool people at the concert. Maybe it will even top my all time favorite concert, Morrissey doing The Smiths tunes on his 1999 tour at Maritime Hall in SF. A Belle and Sebastian picnic would be so great! This is really the best thing I have ever discovered on the net!

Sinister: Primrose August 2001
by Priscila Moura 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

Hello my darlings, I know that this is a tad late and that Primrose Hill a week ago is so passe', but one has not yet had the opportunity to voice one's thoughts before given that one leads a high flying sort of lifestyle and had to jet off to Japan the day after the picnic. And we all know that there are no computers in Japan (ie., they cost about 1000 yen a minute to use). Furthermore, I don't want to join in the EastxWest debate given that I am one of the smug marrieds who has already seen B&S twice recently and will most probably see them twice in Brazil again. Well, what can I say that hasn't already been said? It was cool. No it wasn't, it was baking hot. But it was grate. Everyone was a lot younger than I expected and I was starting to feel old until a guy who reminded me of my dad arrived. My own personal highlights were pretend-playing the 4 string guitar, playing volleyball with the TOTP ball and the jam session with Sir Kenneth of Chu, Sinister Sex Symbol Extraordinaire, and the Born Again Christians (sounds like a name for a band). Ken and I got lost after that. Wow, what an honour. Everything that has ever been written about him is spot on. The man is truly a Sex God! The Ribena and sun combination was lethal. I was close to feeling seriously shit, but managed to narrowly avoid ruining it all. And I really thought at the time that no-one had noticed! Elena was a brilliant picnic mummy. Asm Walton was a lot younger than expected but a cool person and fabulous musician all the same. Sarah and Alex from Brixton were volleyball stars, Alex even managing to play while holding a drink in one hand. And everyone stared at you, Chris, not because you were late but because you brought Mc f***ing Donald's to the picnic! So a luvvly time was had by all. I loved it! Again, again! I want to play TOTPball again! I want to get pissed from a glass bottle of Ribena! I want to sing B&S tunes at the top of my voice with a load of people! I want to feed the world strawbs and cream! I want to see all those wonderful sinistrines again! I want to rub shoulders with Ken Chu! (only shoulders, though).I want, I want, I want! I'd like to suggest a picnic in August and another one in September before winter creeps up on us again. Or else we'll have to wait until summer 2002. Please, mummy, please! Then I won't envy the people picnicking in Golden Gate Park (which is truly a beautiful park and close to Amoeba records, where I chanced upon 3...6...9). So how about it? Please let me know. Lurve, Pris. "Dream your dreams with eyes wide open and make them come true" T.E. Lawrence (Oh!

Sinister: Belle and Sebastian bomb east coast - NYC, Philly in ruins
by James Gilmer 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

Hello Sinister Children, and at times, the children moniker is extremely appropriate. Paul went and said this: "Christ, you'd think that B&S were going to bomb any cities they weren't playing in. They aren't a Public Limited Company and "we", the self appointed fans, have no reason to dictate their behaviour. So we buy their records, doens't give us a mandate to have a go at them or the management" Hush Paul, no one likes logic being brought into an arguement. I don't mean to be harsh, but there's a reason a bunch of tossers say things like this about the list : "sick posse of f**ked in the head psycho-fans". Here's the thing, the band doesn't owe us a thing. No artist owes a thing to their fans or the public, that's how you end up with poxy Backstreet Boys albums clogging the system. No, if I was Stuart I'd lift two fingers to the air and say fuck it all and go curl up with a book and a pretty girl. Neil came off as a professional and decent minded chap who was letting us know not to get our hopes up for the east coast, which was fine and decent of him to do. He wasn't offensive in the least, and even apologized to the people of Toronto and Philly, while still pointing out that the band simply couldn't satisfy all their fans spread across the world. They're touring, some will see them, some won't. It also wasn't a press release, but an informal mail to the fans, so I really don't think he was out-of-line at all. Hell, maybe B&S *don't* like their fans (I seriously doubt that's the case, they probably do get a bit tired of the obsessives though), maybe they bloody well despise them. It doesn't matter. Why should it? If they put out music you like, brilliant. If not, find another band to obsess over. Christ, it's as bad as people bitching because they don't sound exactly like they did on Tigermilk anymore. I'm sure our List Honey has a bit of a headache from all this negativity already, so I hope poor Honey has a nice lay down and a cup of tea and is not too annoyed with us. Cheers Honey, we appreciate what you do for us, even when we are a bit unruley. My suggestion is to take a deep breath, step back and realize it's just a band that makes some nice music and not the center of your life (if it is the center of your life, seek professional help) and find a pretty girl or shy boy (whichever's your taste) and do many rude and heathen things with them. As I'm typing this bloody thing I look at my inbox to see: "Brit-award winners Belle & Sebastian could have a stunning new singer in their line-up - Hollywood sex bomb Angelina Jolie." That is nothing less than brilliant, if only because Sinister people all over the globe just shat themselves. Chip went on to say: "It would sum up Angelina perfectly and Belle & Sebastian would be the band to carry it off." Yes, Wild Thing probably is a perfect song for her, anyone who snogs her brother on TV and reports in a interview that she likes bringing knives into the bedroom...well, that song's right up her ally. "They ignore fashion trends and image, opting instead for their Jesus sandals, librarian v-necks and untended hair-dos." Are we talking about the same band then? That's just brilliant that is, even if the article turns out to be complete rubbish and just taking the piss. Be Sinister brothers and sisters... Jim "I haven't feel geeky or dumb since I was 17. I don't feel marginalised or outmoded and neither should anyone else in this thriving, multiplex society. When will successful, creative, intelligent people stop thinking of themselves as childlike outsiders and start engaging with the real high-stakes world? Wake up Fanboy! Wake up Fangirl! Do you want to rule the world?

Sinister: let's all go to chicago
by eric the half a bee 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

hello you sexy thing. right, so I've been reading a lot of grumbling about no east coast/midwest tour dates. obviously, the problem is not the band but rather the fact that the united states (okay, and canada) is situated on a rather large continent. what we all need to do is band (heh) together to invent a sort of seimsic squeezer, whereby the two coasts will magically (or scientifically, if you prefer) come together. then, san francisco will be a scant 30 miles from new york! seattle will be right around the corner from boston! vancouver? why, just walk on over from toronto! this would of course require that we somehow get rid of the middle of north america, but I don't think anyone would mind that much. who needs iowa, anyway? I am a *bit* miffed that I won't be getting to see b&s... after all, I was living in london until a month before the british dates, and now that I'm back in the states I'm stuck on the wrong coast, but I'm not going to get all upset about it. I have the advantage of being in new york, and I hear that the band likes new york... in other news, I have discovered two (2) places that have kit kat chunkies for one american dollar. this has inspired me to pen the following: ode to a kit kat chunky o kit kat chunky not made out of a monkey but rather delicious chocolate and milk it's rather too bad I'm poor so I have to bilk the shopkeepers out of their candy but kit kat chunky makes me randy and they make me grow up which is why I love them so. I was also quite pleased to see the return of the angel blackwell, now with quite a normal non-sinister name. this is why I shall always remain: -eric the half a bee ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: one of the most appreciated pop bands in the world
by marc bots 03 Aug '01

03 Aug '01

okay that's it. i don't mind being called a female reproductive organ on #sinister, but i do mind if anyone is naming footballing nations and does not include holland. even though most dutch players play on the other side of the north sea now, they still count as dutch. i believe the reason that B&S do not play in holland is because they are afraid they'll get their asses kicked on the soccer field. howeverm, if they decide to play here, i'll promise to score no more than five times ;-) serious now: there was some discussion about B&S being a pop band. to me, they certainly are, and the subject line was the introduction of a documentary that was on the dutch tv a few weeks ago. it was about the indie scene in glasgow and was pretty good, though the only B&S member that said anything was isobel. she is quite cute (on tv). electro shock blues is quite brilliant, but i cannot listen to it sometimes because it's just too depressing. it makes me want to go to bed and not come out anymore. the same happens with that tom waits song on closing time, i think it's called lonely or something. very sad. i will press send, for a change. have a great weekend. get drunk. marc +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
