Sinister: marx and engels
by Mouche75＠aol.com 20 Sep '01

20 Sep '01

hi ok, i haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else, and i know people can be a little... funny about this sort of stuff, but if you're inclined, marx and engels is available for download on audiogalaxy. i dunno where it's come from or anything, but... well, if you can, go and listen to it. like all the greatest belles songs, it sounds like seven different things they've already done... but i guess that doesn't matter when the formula is fantastic. i'd wanted to save myself for when the single came out, but i'm impetuous and the sort of person who'll polish off a jar of peanut butter in one sitting. and so i indulged, but i'm glad. because as i'm sitting here in half dark, watching the sky going pink to grey over the rooftops, it's the greatest thing in the world to listen to. mouche +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: San Francisco Show
by Keith Davis 20 Sep '01

20 Sep '01

In light of all the tragic events that have happened, I did not post a review of the San Francisco show I wnet to at teh Warfield on Saturday September 8th. It was a magical night. And I will always think of it as the weekend before innocence was lost. The song, "I Fought In a War" has never felt so prevalent. I was in awe of how gorgeous the band is. Complete eye candy if you will! Isobel wore the cutest denim skirt and the band was in top form and looked great! I was unaware of the scope of there group/band. They went off with out a hitch. Especially the cover of The Smiths "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side". I almost fainted! I categorize my fanatic obsessions into groups and solo artists. At that point in time both merged, as my favorite group sang words from my favorite singer! Legal Man was a great moment as well. The stage filled with singers and players all in unison! I hope that Belle and Sebastian come back and fill me with joy again. It seems with the future in such disarray, we will all need the uplifting words and sounds from this tremendously talented group! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: buy me a statement of self esteem.
by jo perry 20 Sep '01

20 Sep '01

Not wishing to sound like a dull assembly by a try too hard trendy teacher, i decided to post something to generally fight off any insecure feelings that humankind allow to fester within. I recently met a young man who liked Belle and Sebastian and was generally rather easy on the eye. Unfortunately the moment it occured to me that he was rather lovely all the nagging doubts flung open their high rise windows and started to shout at me. (high rise because they live in my head, my heart is too intelligent to house them) I voiced many reasons as to why he wouldn't be interested in me, and eventually bored myself. Even though i am a rather lovely person it seems that all the good judgement i pride myself on having disappears when fellas are involved. The problem is though i know the self criticism is generally unfounded, i still can't just walk up to him and introduce myself properly. This post has acted as some kind of therapy. If you can reason out your fears perhaps you can overcome them. I still don't know if i am going to introduce myself. I may just send him some Belle and Sebastian lyrics and hope he realises the sender is a truly nice girl. jojo xx ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: The King Is Dead [but long live the Boss]
by P F 20 Sep '01

20 Sep '01

For a while now, people have been saying that a fundamental change has overtaken the world. A caesura in history, if you like. Perhaps they are right. But here, hard on its heels, like a bus following with irritating rapidity its predecessor, is another epochal event, of quite different scale and character, as reported by our Chelmsford collispondent. The departure of the geezer, Peter Miller. I think it true to say that sinister will not be the same again. The colours may look the same, the cartoon girls may still frown (do they? I haven't looked at them for a while), but we are living on the other side of a break in list time. The question is --- what the heck am *I* doing here? Possibly time should be taken for a full tribute to the geezer - a retrospective gaze, at least, over some of his finest moments from the past. Who knows? It might even happen. MyMomSays has posted twice in a row, but I must admit, I like her Handle a lot. __________________________________________________ Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?

Sinister: New Direction? ..or..... B&S Go Theatrical
by Brier Random 20 Sep '01

20 Sep '01

Hi Lovers.... Many things on my mind, including: * Sand on a wet body, beachside. * Jealousy at my special friend Rachel Cornflake for not only singing onstage with Belle and Sebastian, but getting some smashing photos as well. * Pleased & excited about THE SOUND of THE NEW B&S; starting with Legal Man and extending into Jonathan David and now blossoming into The Season Has Arrived (which I just heard in its live version); presenting our Belles et Sebbys as being excited about pop music, and having the glee to show it. I hereby dub them as the Most Gleefully Soul-Searching band of today. * Urging anyone who took photos at the U.S. shows to post them, no matter how blurry or sweaty. Especially photos which document a fan being onstage with the band, as occurred so many times. Wouldn't you, if you'd danced on stage with our favorite band, want a picture of it? So get in touch with Rachel Cornflake, or Rachel "Smartly Dressed", or others, if you documented their moment of fame. They'll thank you. * Michael Jackson: If he wants to do ANYTHING for the victims of the attacks on America, he'll AVOID releasing any recorded music in the near future. Especially not a generic "We Are The World" type group-tribute. I appreciate where his heart's at, but Mike, we've suffered ENOUGH. * Lyrics: Have the complete lyrics to "The Magic Of A Kind Word" been posted yet? I've only seen the lyrics that came with the guitar tabs (thanks Mike K) but they only had the 1st verse. Shouldn't we update the Lyrics page on the Sinister site? Methinks so. * Bootleggers: Anyone surfacing with audio from the West-American tour? Send me some mp3's and I won't tell a soul. I swear. Really. I mean it. * Positive Thinking: Hang in there. Things are bad but not terrible. Love to you all (And a HUGE welcome-back to Joan of Dark); ~Brier www.brier.homestead.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i get a little warm in my heart...
by Kirsten Kenyon 20 Sep '01

20 Sep '01

i've just been out with a friend from work. we went to a boy's house....there were two of them. boys, that is. the girl's name is corin, and the boys are her friends. she said they would be on the "patio," which i had imagined to be a slab of concrete decorated with plastic furniture and potted plants. instead, it was a little building full of nice furniture and expensive-looking electronic devices. it's in the backyard, so maybe that makes it a patio....or something. the boys were funny. they kept saying silly things and giggling, watching me try to hide under the table in embarrassment. they were listening to rap music and one of them was positively dripping with gold jewelry and he let me try on a three-karat diamond ring and, for once in my life, i actually did feel a bit like j-lo. i didn't much like the look of it there on my thumb. i gave it to corin and she took another one and held them up like earrings and pretended to be a princess and batted her eyelashes, and she really did look nice that way because she is a diamond sort of girl. i used to make rings out of the little green paper twisty ties you get for produce bags at the grocery store. corin and i played with diamonds. i felt underdressed. so i came home and on the way i thought and smoked and kept the window rolled down even though it was raining. the rain looked something like snow tonight, and i decided i would like nothing more than to stay in hiding for a few months and come out when everything is covered in a white blanket of snow and all that's on television is "it's a wonderful life" and i can lie on my back and squint at the lights on the tree so that the beams shoot out in every direction. i am not a fan of holidays at all. especially christmas because it means weeks of hell at work...stressed-out shoppers, lame glittery snowflakes hanging everywhere, and everyone's favorite, the RuPaul ho- ho holiday album. but right now, it just sounds...nice. xoxo kirsten Care2 make the world greener! http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: You don't want to read that last one. Positively scandalous.
by MyMomSays＠aol.com 19 Sep '01

19 Sep '01

JL: Hello you gorgeous bunch of lovelies. This is Miss J Lucy and Miss Mandee May reporting back from the first ever Colorado Sinister meet-up. I've been here a fortnight and what have we been up to? Oh, you know, the usual meet up stuff... drinking and talking about YOU. The highlight for me was spotting a big, pink and blue machine flashing through a big window into the cold, Boulder night, a machine that plays Mr Wonderful, Holiday and that really, really easy Backstreet Boys one, a machine that said DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION on it! We had been on the sauce, we each had a pocketful of dollars, we were complete DDR virgins and we thought Ken Chu (note obligatory mention) would appreciate our efforts. We were soo encircled by a crowd of people who certainly seemed to appreciate our efforts. Or maybe they just appreciated our jiggling breasts. What do you think, Mandee? ************************* Well, certainly Lucy, I was attracted to the DDR machine by the Ken Chu lookalike gettin' down on that flashing lit-up dance platform (of course, the aforementioned Lookalike did not have NEARLY enough style to be a true Chu.. and also, let's give Lucy and I credit for mentioning Mr. Chu TWICE now in the same post). After seeing the Chu get down, we both agreed to find the nearest bar, down a few Red Bull & Vodkas, and stagger back to the arcade to use all this Taurine-influenced energy. The results were not alltogether disappointing. Even after a few sweaty dollar bills were digested into the token machine, our feet sore from getting our groove on, and a whole room of 14 year-olds "totally amazed" by our moves, well, we were not satisfied, my friends. As for my breasts--goddamn, I could have killed somebody. Let's just say they added some style points. I am pretty saddened by the fact that Ms. Lucy has to leave on Thursday--although I cannot blame her for wanting to leave the bosom of the Westin hotel beds, I have had a thoroughly good time showing her around Ye Ol' Homefront of Colorado. Not only did we get down to DDR for an evening, but we even went punk bowling. Back to you, Lucy-- ************************* JL: PUNK BOWLING! Did you know that Denver punks like to bowl? I didn't, but Sebastian told us it was true. We cased the joint - not a punk in sight, but the shop sold bowling balls with skulls in them! Then, we spotted a girl with black, spiky hair and more eyeliner than the average chick. Welcome to the bowling alley, Punk Number One. Before you could say "pierce my nose with a rusty safety pin", the place was teeming with punks. I always thought bowling shoes were a mod thing, but one chap had painted NOFX on his, which isn't a mod thing to do at all! The good thing about bowling is you get to bend over and show off your 'jelly'. However, punks are apparently not ready for jelly, as only one of us got chatted up and the chatter upper was... what did you call him, Mandee? ************************* Why, Lucy, I believed I called him a wanker.. he was a bit slow, though, because it took him about five minutes to register and then he muttered out a weak "Bitch" to me while walking away with his tail tucked under his legs. However, I believe my scored suffered from the pitcher of watery Coors Lite we received as a bonus--I slipped from a 109 to a 73 then to a 49. I was humbled. It was nice that we had such a crowd, though, because I could take time out inbetween frames to talk more about..well, YOU! I thought things couldn't get much better than a little bit of Punk Bowling, but after last Saturday's exhausting sweat session on the DDR machine, well, I will say that I was pleasantly surprised. If only we could have found that Pantone bag that we saw in the shop window--- ************************* JL: In Boulder, we found two Magnetic Fields related things. The fist was a bright pink bag that said PANTONE 2xx (I am not a Pantone expert, I don't remember the actual number) and Mandee and I thought it would be just wonderful to find a blue bag that said PANTONE 292. It would, wouldn't it? But the pink bag was in a display and we couldn't work out which shop in Boulder had the Pantone bags and we searched and searched in the pouring rain with no luck at all and ended up getting all wet and in need of beer. So we had beer. The second Magnetic Fields related thing, which was acquired with haste, was a book called the Bad Beginning by one Lemony Snicket. They say you should never judge a book by its cover, but I believe that Snicket books *should* be judged by their covers, because their covers are ace. I can tell, just from looking at the cover, and especially by reading what's written on the back, that Snicket pishes all over Rowling and her wizard, even though I have not actually read either book (yet). Well, I think that's about all I have to tell you, except that I must give huge props to Mandee for being such a star and looking after me for the past couple of weeks which, as you know, haven't been easy, so it's been good to have a friend. Juicy Lucy x ************************* Based upon my first sinister miniature two-week long picnic with Ms. Lucy, I have to say that sinister picnics are fantastic. I've had a brilliant time with Lucy and I hope that maybe soon enough I can crawl over to London so we can play DDR again, maybe even YOU can join in, eh? Balderdash confusion, Miss Mandee May P.S. The pictures will be developed soon, but I think they are far too inappropriate to scan into the computer. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Subject Free Zone Today
by David Moore 19 Sep '01

19 Sep '01

Hi All, Got a copy of the Benicassim radio broadcast today (muchas gracias, A****) and another opportunity to figure out the lyrics to this song. My first attempt a couple of months ago was clearly bollocks: this one is much closer with (I think) only one dodgy bit - The Season Has Arrived I need someone to take some joy in something I do You need a man who's either rich or losing a screw You know I love you, here's the irony You're going to walk away intact You think I never liked you anyway ) I think you never liked me anyway ) You like yourself & you like men To kiss your arse, expensive clothes Hey stop me there I think I'm waking up to us we're a disaster They don't want to know Because you move in circles up the brain(?) We're out to find your lies She was the wonder of my life She showed me the road And if I look like death today Then please let her know I only wanted to do harm to her (?) I only wanted her to see The beauty of the world surrounding her And when she opened up her eyes Its much too late, our chance has gone She's with a guy Who takes the prize of everything I ever showed her Taken all the fun because she's older I fed her with a spoon I made her mama smile I helped the kid survive (Lush strings break) She was the wonder of my life She showed me the road I loved her dark, her steady gaze The chapter is closed (The chapter is closed) I only wanted all the best for her The best thing was to stay away She grew up and she left the rest of us And now the understanding's gone I haven't changed, how could I? I'm pretty much the same person I cannot keep my anger Hidden any more but lucky for you You are not around my anger turns to pity and to love The season has arrived The season has arrived Princess Honey thinks that the song sounds like something from a 70's musical: I think she's being uncharitable. Almost everything that could be has been said about the WTC horror. The most affecting thing for me has been not the TV pictures of the planes crashing into the towers or those poor people jumping but the knowledge that some members of my own company are still "missing" - colleagues who wear the same uniforms, complete the same paperwork, do the same job as we do. And I struggle with the tale of the heroic self sacrifice of a fellow manager who apparently made sure all his people got on the lift on the 107th floor, told them not to worry as he'd get the next one and of course hasn't been seen since. Could I have done that? Should I in fact have done that? Loyalty to employees, or to family? Not all listees who unsubscribe post a valedictory message. So I'd like to mark the departure of Peter Miller. I'll miss his irreverence, his wit and his erudition. And the fact that he always kept the faith. Sadly for me the audience I picture in my mind on the (thankfully for you) rare occasions when I do post has shrunk considerably. Reporting Back will never be quite the same in future. Goodbye, thanks and I hope we hear from you again.
