Sinister: i don't care about the east coast, or the west...
by Katia913＠aol.com 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

Just Yesterday, a little green monster appeared underneath my bed. It woke me in the middle of the night. I was sad, so sad. Belle and Sebastian dreams cloud my head that, if not for school, I'd find a way to get to the West coast. But September is no match for me. And even my birthday (when they will be playing)(Sept. 13) I cannot find a way there... Sad, so sad. Everyone east coast is saying "Maybe Maybe If I say 'Maybe' enough they'll come." But I tell you, what about me? What about the people in the middle of the country who cannot get to the West or East coast? Hmmm? Has anyone thought of us, the poor people of the center of the US?? So I make a plea, stop whining, because I want them too!! Kate p.s. Congrats to all the people of the West coast. You are now my enemy (and I've said it before), watch out!! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: FIRST US GIG REVIEW!
by kirk the jerk 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

The show was as follows. The didn't come, because evidently three years ago was recent enough for an east coast US tour. As a means of distraction for those of us bound to the Atlantic I propose "The East Coast Sinister Belle & Sebastian Cover Band." We can play churches picnics and private bedrooms. Interested Stuarts, Stevies, Micks, Sarahs, Isobels, Chris', Richards, and Bobs contact me with your whereabouts and availability. Club owners and booking agents do the same. Maybe something can be worked out for September. All musicians welcome (oboists, flautists), but no saxophones please. All levels of ability welcome. Details to be worked out if enough are interested. That's another fine mess I've gotten myself into, -kirk +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

I have found no less than 6 (!) of my beloved stuffed toys with their faces torn off!! right off!! she leaves the rest intact which i find quite sinister (no pun. no PUN!!). I even bought her a rubber toy in the shape of a rolled up newspaper - it's called PET NEWS so it's plainly for her!! I imagined that she could keep up to date on the latest in doggie fashion and politics while ripping it apart with glee (oh the subversive element!). but she keeps going back to my room and destroying things!! i shut the door but somehow she finds a way... what is a girl to do? xxkaty * * "I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose." --Woody Allen * ICQ: 44771884 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Put the Book Back on the Shelf
by Brian Pennington 02 Aug '01

02 Aug '01

Hmm, One would think that leaving an electronic mailing list would be a very easy task. I've done it numerous times before. I was going to simply unsubscribe and have that be that, quietly fading away. But for some reason it just didn't feel right. So I just thought I'd let you know goodbye. I'd really rather not get into why I'm leaving, if only because doing so always sounds critical or vindictive, or at the very least a little too wistful. I certainly haven't stopped listening to the band, nor would I ever, I should expect. I will say that a large part of my staying on the list this long involved hearing about tour news. And I guess I got my wish, but as it seems there won't be any of relevance to me for a long time to come, staying on seems a bit silly. I don't want to come across like I'm angry at the band or the tour organizers for not coming to New York or any of the places on the East Coast. I consider myself lucky and I have seen them already, and even met some of them. Everyone should be so lucky. It's only that it's a bit frustrating to be dismissed. It was frustrating when I lived hours from the nearest place a band would even consider playing, and it's worse now because I know it's feasible for a band to play here, whereas playing in somewhere in the middle of the countryside is obviously not. I know I personally have flown halfway across the continent to see Belle & Sebastian, and driven some on top of that just to see them a second time. I feel it was worth it, but I don't find myself in the monentary position to do it a second time. Anyway, where was I? Well, I just want to say thanks to all the people I met from Sinister and #sinister. I'm sure I'll probably run into a few of you again. And to those I never met, thanks for making me smile every now and again. I'm sure I won't be able to resist peeking into the archives. Goodbye.

Sinister: I love action, but not violence
by ArtsyDeco＠aol.com 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

If you know that quote, I assume you're from Connecticut. Unless I'm just ignorant of Parade being published elsewhere. So yeah, Phil Hartman was the funny man with the knowledge of the soylent. Quick question. What the heck does soylent even mean. Did they pick the word at random? Who are they anyway? Anyhue, chinacat knew it. So did some other guy, but I forget who. Chinacat told me first so chinacat gets the super best lucky fun bonus points. So does the other guy for saying "quote fu." These bonus points can be used as cash at all Kara Jean retailers near you. If I was fabulously wealthy I'd probably do this. I would sit somewhat precariously atop a gorgeous mound of glittering Things and give them away to those who garnered bonus points. They're ridiculously easy to get, so it's pretty much something for everyone. People were talking of tee shirts. I had my first sighting the other day while walking around perusing sidewalk sales. There was this manboy wearing the ampersand shirt. While my mind was thinking of nice, possibly even charming ways to introduce myself my mouth got ahead of me and decided to go with "Whoa!!!....Belle and Sebastian!!!!" My potential new friend turned to look at me briefly, then just walked away. Oh sadness. I'm sure he didn't mean to be rude. So today at work I doodled some cover art for the sinister movie mixtape I'm making. Soon I will peruse font galleries for appropriate fonts. I hope lots of people want the tape. People who gave me painting ideas Will get the tape. People who indulged my soylent amusement Will get the tape. Anyone who wants it Will get the tape. People willing to devote their vocal talents to the tape will get the tape and something else cool in thanks if I can think of it...oh I will, just give me time. Neil, way to puncture my dreams. Oooooooohhh, Japan, oooooh. Yeah, but what about the East Coast people who've never seen Belle and Sebastian, Neil? I hate you Neil. I'm just kidding Neil. I love you like an uncle Neil. When's your birthday. I'll bake you cookies. You want Russian Tea Cakes Neil? I can do that. I fear the 15 minute egg timer is just about up so hows about I end with a tangent. I was thinking about this time when I was eight and I was playing four square and I hit the ball really hard and this other girl thought it sprained her wrist. I felt so bad that I bashed my wrist against a desk and sprained it. Turned out the other girl wasn't even hurt. I had to wear an ace bandage. All of this makes me wonder if you play four square in England. Love and comfy clothing, Kara Jean* +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: silver reflection...cherry blossom baptism
by Harry Hunt 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

I'm trying to TRICK my stomach into thinking it's been filled with food, by giving it a small amount of food (as much as I can be bothered to fill it with) and then having ginger tea. Last night I was handed a beaker of orange juice, just before I fell asleep in bed. I managed to pour it over my head as I dozed off, and the juicepatch left on my sheet spelt DOOM, or seemed to. When I moved up, I lost all sense of self. It's great. Fugg knows where I am. I don't know if I'm in the future, where I've sorted everything out, or in the past, when I got in this mess, or if I'm living the niggling in between bit they call youth. Am I young? How old are you? Fancy a snog? My ginger tea is ready. Excuse me. If you can suspend your boredom over the next blank line as I get my tea, that'd be a feat of technological MASTERY. When I moved up here to Glasgow I was accused, or perhaps cited as, a socialist, because I give rich people with piffling problems SHORT SHRIFT. The other day, I was accused of being sarcastic and sardonic all the time. I thought I was MEANT to. I thought I was generation X, or at lease XI. Isn't there somewhere in Ireland that you can buy a horse for a fiver, and all the ned/spydes on the council estates have one, and call it Prince? (The one called Sheba died) I'm staying up so I can watch "Full Moon High" which EVERY review I've seen has slated. It's just better than going to bed at a reasonable hour, which still seems like such an injustice. Thankyou to everyone I've met recently, who's been nice to me. I'm having a bit of a rocky* time of late and youse have temporarily taken the y* away. But seriously folks, drinking and driving. What's up with that?

Sinister: Alas, the skies are clear and the birds they do sing!
by Chris Horne 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

I now am the proud holder of tickets for both San Francisco's show, and Portland's. This should be a rather enjoyable event, and one that I am most certainly looking forward to with a smile upon my rosy-cheeked face. Now, hopefully someone might clear up a few things, I'd caught wind yesterday afternoon that there was a *proposed* show to be held at Reed College in their little student commons ground. I would like to verify if this is the truth or if it is false, granted someone out there knows (and I'm sure someone does). Because, if it is indeed true, I can have the opportunity to see B&S not twice, but three times, which, needless to say, would be absolutely fantastic. Furthermore, I do know that ticketmaster had stated to me that a second show at the Warfield is slated, but not confirmed. This would be a show to occur on my birthday, September ninth! That would be four times. However, as it is my birthday that day, shouldn't I be given the treat of being treated to that show by all my good friends out there? Just a suggestion :-) Well, I think a picnic is still a superb idea for either here or in Portland or in Olympia. Whereever, I'll be attending at least half of the U.S. shows, which is quite nice, Chris _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Re: Sinister: (S)He had a stroke at the age of 26...

Sinister. My loves, oh what a day already. I must concur with what dear Brandt said: > My head almost exploded today. That happened right > after I got the confirmation message that I had gotten > my tickets for the Belle and Sebastian show at the > Warfield in San Francisco. I feared anurism, myself. But alas, the shaking hands have subsided somewhat, and my skull seems intact, if a bit thick, so I'm told. I keep checking to see if they've "printed the transaction" at ticketmaster. They're lazy. It's been hours now. I have a cold fear of my card being denied or some other mishap that would deny me the seats I now have proprietorial rights to. God save us from such a fate. I too am flying in. I was thinking of a road trip, from here to SF for the show, then on up the coast. Unfortunately, this grandiose plan fell through before I could even begin to fantasize about it properly, and I must now settle for Just San Francisco. I don't imagine I'll be too disappointed if I can only manage one show, right? There are others who are less fortunate. I'm such a greedy girl. I want more. Ah, well. Well, if a bunch of us are flying in, perhaps we'll end up having a sini-picnic in the airport lounge. That would be a sight! Assuming, of course, that we're all in the same airport. Perhaps some brave soul will volunteer their mummy-services for a *real* picnic (hint, hint). I would offer myself, but. . . well, I'm not from there, and I wouldn't have the faintest clue. So, I will wait with bated breath instead. For the whole enchilada. Surprisingly, I actually have work to do, so I'll take my leave now.
