Sinister: San Francisco Performance
by bookworm_trochet＠myself.com 09 Sep '01

09 Sep '01

Hello! Holly here, and last night, my sister and I got to see Belle and Sebastian live!!! It was worth all the effort to get down to SF and definitely worth wasting all the time in that mall. As for the show, (which is probably what you're interested in) it was, of course, fantastic, although I didn't care for the guy who opened for them. The only thing to REALLY mar the occasion was some idiot who had evidently forgotten to take his Ritalin that morning. I had heard many rumors of Stuart's moodiness, but I think he was in a good mood last night, because he made a few jokes and danced around the stage. (Though I have to say, his dancing isn't as entertaining as Thom Yorke's...but then, do we really want it to be?) If you read the post about the songs played at the L.A. gig, then you have a pretty good idea of what was played last night. I don't remember them all, but a few were (in no particular order): 1. Leader of the Pack (opener, where they had a motorcycle come onstage) 2. Dirty Dream #2 3. Simple Things 4. Slow Graffiti 5. Family Tree 6. Woman's Realm (where they left out the "You slept better in a sleeping train..." part, but oh well) 7. There's Too Much Love (where Stuart messed up and in stead of "I feel like dancing on my own" sang something like, "We all fall down on our asses", at least that's what it sounded like to me) 8. The Model 9. Jonathan David (Poor Stevie was having trouble with his voice, so he and Stuart switched parts so Stevie wouldn't have to try for the high notes) 10. The Wrong Girl (Stevie sang one verse as Johnny Cash, ha ha) 11. Legal Man 12. Fox in the Snow And that's all I can think of at the moment. Audience members were called up to help during songs, and being the generally good crowd that we were, no one booed at them. On the balcony (where I was) people started dancing, but the ushers made them stop. (It didn't stop people from trying again later) I was glad that my sister brought her opera glasses, because it meant I could see people's faces. Sarah has a very sweet face; Isobel looked a little bored, though. Though she was very charming and asked on guy on the floor about his eye-patch. She commented on how striking it was. I had a lot of fun at that concert, I wish it had lasted longer, though, but then again maybe I don't, because when I got home, I was so exhausted that I fell asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow. Well, that's it for me. -Holly -- _______________________________________________ FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Talk More, Pay Less with Net2Phone Direct(R), up to 1500 minutes free! http://www.net2phone.com/cgi-bin/link.cgi?143 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: who wants to see a half-naked Jason?
by Jason Andreas 09 Sep '01

09 Sep '01

http://www21.brinkster.com/jasonandreas/photos.html there you are :) Aaaaanyway, aside from that skinny freak (ie, me)... Why do we get more sunshine when it's cold than we do in the Summer? See Scotland? See weird weather? See cool bands? See Songs: Ohia. And that's Jason's tip for this post... I continue, as always, to work. Call centre life is pretty crappy, and filled with petty bureacracy and shite like that, but at least they give me money. Even though no-one South of Nottingham even pretends to make an effort to understand my "Scotch" accent. <grins> Guess I shouldn't work on a hearing-aid information line... I bought the Radiohead live bootleg from South Park (gig, not tv show). It cost me £19 and is absolutely fucking brilliant. It rawks. I am in the process of obtaining the two gigs I attended in Glasgow Green by them too. Which will rawk even more. Pity I can't get the Belle & Sebastian gigs I was at. I never seem to hear of any live boots (Black Sessions aside) floating around. Ach well. I'm trying to live the single life and have fun doing so. No snogs yet, but I don't mind. I just wish the ex wouldn't keep trying to throw tales of how amazing the new boyfriend is in my face. Ach well, I'm sure she'll cheat on him eventually too. Or vice versa, which would also be sweet. Gods, that sounded nasty of me. Ooooh! I've been helping fuzzly creatures when I see them in trouble. Well, birdies and insects - not the fuzziest of things, I admit, but they can be pathetic, and I have an affinity for that, y'know :p I'm addicted to Phileas Fogg cheese tortilla chips. And Irn Bru, of course, but you knew that already. In good news, my cousin has managed to talk the council into letting her take over my deceased gran's house, so the whole family breathes a sigh of relief that it won't have her memory spoiled by being taken over by thugs or bampots... I have a car. I can't drive. I have a blue Fiat Punto. But I can't drive. I shall learn. And then I shall visit you London buggers for a good laugh. Count on it. I've rambled enough for now, I feel. - Jase xx http://www21.brinkster.com/jasonandreas +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Introduction
by Simon Fallaha 09 Sep '01

09 Sep '01

Hello everyone, I've been waiting for two weeks to finally post my first message to this list, so here goes... As I wait to start the second year of an accounting course at uni, the summer's just dragged on and on and on. Thankfully it hasn't rained recently (like it seems to be doing where PF is), so there's been plenty of time to go outdoors, but even so, I'll be almost glad when uni starts again in three weeks' time. Even though I did (surprisingly) well in last year's exams, I only got a job for a couple of weeks, and as for going away...well, the best thing I got was a day trip in London. And all I did there was go round Soho, see the theatres, eat at Pizza Hut (simple) and take a trip on the London Eye! To be honest, I wish I could have stayed there for longer. Londonderry (my home town) is dull. Hopefully the new concert hall will liven it up. Also, there was a B & S concert in London which I unfortunately missed. On the plus side, I've been listening to a lot more music. I'm probably not as much into B & S as some of you are, but I'm getting there. If You're Feeling Sinister's my favourite album - I thought Tigermilk was good, but Sinister and The Boy With The Arab Strap are better. My favourite song at the minute is probably Like Dylan In The Movies. Unfortunately I don't like The Gentle Waves quite as much ... I tend to shut my ears every time I hear Evensong. My other favourite bands at the minute are The Divine Comedy and Ash. Any big TDC fans on this list? If so, Promenade is definitely the best album...I've just been listening to it there now. And I love singing all these songs as well, especially TDC's. In fact, I love singing any good song. So much so, that on the 3rd I finally joined the Londonderry Amateur Operatic Society (LAOS). It's given me a chance to perform in the new concert hall, as well as re-unite with all my old school friends. I went to a rehearsal some five years ago, but never came back...until now. Finally, notes to everyone. Jim (Gilmer), that was good advice of yours about avoiding loneliness, but it's easier said than done. Jenni (sorry, Cay) - you were right to see Josie and the Pussycats, I enjoyed it too (unlike most American critics). In fact, I now have one of the songs from it (Three Small Words). Why not try Down To Earth? I saw East Is East for the first time recently and thoroughly enjoyed it. I plan to get it on DVD. I also saw Moulin Rouge recently - very good. (you've probably guessed I'm really into films)Ken Chu - you are one funny guy. I especially liked the final part of 'Loneliness of the middle distance runaway thread.' Idleberry - eat as much chocolate as you like, I hear it's good for you (in a way). Alasdair Cook - Tigermilk is really good, but as I said above there are better B & S albums. And yes, that may have been the worst German team ever, but you didn't expect 5-1, did you? Anything like that's really worth celebrating. Amy Skelton - good to see another MFC fan here, I'll E-Mail you again soon. Ben - I don't think I'll see Hedwig & the Angry Inch, even though you say it's good.

Sinister: flying..saucers..filled with..sherbet.
by john john 09 Sep '01

09 Sep '01

Marie was walking gaily along the pavement, listening to the warbling in the trees, and the occasional car passing in the distance. She felt the lack of presence of the sky that day, as the faint yellow haze subtley sprayed across the floor of the sea of light blue. The clear sky was beautifully plain, but what really affected the girl was the purity of the air; only a day after the thunderstorm meant that everything smelled as fresh as a cascading waterfall. It was such a contrast to the day before the storm, as the weight pressed down on Marie's shoulders; the filling station with air conditioning giving the only respite to her smothered body and lungs. She told herself that there are not very many days like the one she was experiencing, so she made sure she was going to enjoy it. So she started skipping along the path humming melodies, and enjoying the freedom from the clouds. She hopped over to a patch of bluebells, and inhaled the sweet fragrance. She absokutely adored the smell of flowers. She delicately snapped the stem of one of the bluebells, and slid the gorgeous flower inside her hair clasp, and picked a small bunch for her friend. Ross was Marie's friend. But she thought that he was so very cute, she wanted to kiss and cuddle him forever. But she did not dare even give any signs away to him before, as her fear of rejection was pretty intense. As she turned round the corner to the park, she saw Ross sitting on the bench, looking at his watch. Marie was early herself, so she guessed he must have just arrived a moment before. He looked up and saw her, smiled, and got up to hug her. In their embrace, Marie was nearly overwhelmed by how gorgeous he smelled. He must have used some strawberry scented shower gel, Marie thought, and to her satisfaction. She timidly gave him the bunch of bluebells, trying not to let her senses take control of her. But his smile was unbearable, and she could not help but blush slightly and drop her head a wee bit. Ross brought them a picnic, and his tartan rug took the whole of his rucksack, so he carried their lunch in a carrier bag. They settled down on a nice spot, and Ross told his friend of his bus journey there. There was an adorabe little girl on the bus sitting opposite to him. She wore a little puppy fat, but that just made her frown ever cuter to him. She clutched her Bagpuss throuhout the journey, and got off at the stop before him. Marie knew that this girl was half Ross' age, and she would find this girl just as cute as he did, but she was nearly sick with envy. She wanted desperately to be the one he thought was cute. Her masterplan to let things happen naturally was scrunched up; she was going to have to something that very day. She sighed to herself and lay down, and gazed into the sky. Silence passed between them, but she didn't find this an awkward silence. She was actually quite content in lying there with him, with the adrenaline undermining her jealousy, and racing through her as she was ready to penetrate the threshold between being friends and kissing him. Ross did not like the silence though. He thought that something was wrong, but he didn't know what. So he stood up, and asked her friend if she wanted to take a walk to the pond. He gave Marie her hand to help her up, but he did not have as much strength as he wanted to; Marie managed to fins her feet, but it wasn't without knocking over her friend's rucksack... the bag fell on its side, and Marie could only try to battle against her body's reluctance to breathe, as one of the side pockets was open. She could see her masterplan growing obselete, and then her backup plan be torn to shreds, as her world crashed before her, and saw a couple of packets of cigarettes slide out of the bag... _________________________________________________________________ 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: the pink shoe diaries
by elise j. spry 09 Sep '01

09 Sep '01

Buenos Noches, I'm back at Java EsCafe, but have to make this quick cos I'm broke at the moment and didn't actually buy anything. So out of politeness I'll have to give up this computer to an actual paying customer soon! Just wanted to thank everyone who wrote back to me. Hugs and kisses and tears of happiness back at 'cha. I will be writing back to y'all soon, probably from work, where I have loads of spare time for long personal emails. :) My friend Kirsti (to anyone who's on diaryland, she is "SHUTUPMOM") just gave me three dresses, which I will be sportin' in Seattle. She also let me try on her new bubblegum-pink shiny patent leather mary janes. I'm jealous of these shoes, but she is a good person and deserves them. I was listening to the song "Simple Things" earlier today, and it made me cry. Pesky emotions. It reminded me of this beautiful Scottish boy who broke my heart. Amazingly, I ran into him this afternoon and we got drunk together at a tiki bar and had fun. I gave him hair gel for his mohawk.

Sinister: i'd rather be fat than be confused
by Kirsten Kenyon 09 Sep '01

09 Sep '01

i haven't had much to write about lately. i went out and bought a new composition book today and sat down with a pen, and nothing came. it's a pity to have a brand-new notebook and nothing to write. i'm afraid that speaks volumes about my very existence in this city...opportunity without motivation. and rooms full of potentially-interesting people i'm too shy to meet, their numbers nearly matched by the dozens of interesting people i've met who, for one reason another, i never call. one thing that's interesting about this place is that nearly everyone makes eye-contact as they pass, only for a moment, making me wonder what they're thinking and what they've been doing to keep themselves entertained all day. probably just drugs. drugs, studies, and music seem to be the dominant uniting factors among people my age. i don't do drugs, and my half-hearted attempts at independent study hardly make for quality conversation in that realm. and music...being far too poor to go about spending money on records has done its part to drain my confidence in discussing anything released after 1998. maybe these are the reasons why i always find myself engaged in lengthy conversations with middle-aged men. another possibility, of course, is that single 50-year-old men are hopelessly drawn to lone girls who, while comfortably past the minimum age requirement for "consenting adults," still look young enough to get carded every time they buy cigarettes. i've decided that another factor contributing to my lack of youthful companionship is that most people my age have made the necessary connections to obtain fake IDs, enabling them to stuff themselves into noisy, crowded "college bars" and, given the confidence provided by massive consumption of cheap beer, meet attractive strangers to politely push out the door in the morning. maybe that's not exactly "companionship," but it does seem to be a more popular past-time among 20-year-old people than sitting on a plastic chair, drinking tea and dodging a 54-year-old man persistently attempting to sell them bootlegged recordings of brahms' liebeslieder waltzes..."cheap." in any case, last night was the first time in ages i'd sat down with someone whose hair was bubble-gum pink by choice, as opposed to faintly purplish in the sun as a side effect of silver chic hairdye in a shade called "frosted twilight." it was strange...i sort of felt like her grandmother, assuming her grandmother smoke parliament lights and giggles at dirty jokes. i guess that's all. xoxo kirsten (who, regrettably, looks like neither jennifer lopez nor kirsten dunst) 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: it could have been a worse career
by Ken Chu 08 Sep '01

08 Sep '01

Hello, It's been a while, hehe. I've been a good boy recently, since starting my job on Monday I even slept before midnight most of the time and wakes up at 7am. Good grief, hence the inability to post loads to Sinister, that's why the grasp of tense in the sinister e-mails has improved greatly recently. The job I have is going quite well too, apart from me.... 1) realising that i left my keys inside the house as I closed the door in the morning for work (inc car keys), thus the normal 3 minutes drive to work became me running a mile to work and being twenty minutes late, fortunately no one really cared that I was late. 2) being asked to phone up customers, scary scary scary, esp since I knew absolutely nothing about the business. 3) The classic - Turned up in suit and tie on a "dress down" Friday. So yes, I'm a twat. Ok, post content draught time Well well well It would seem that it is a convenient time for me to start a job! For the reason that, since this week I'm away from sinister suddenly I find myself two offsprings! One young Pika who needs maintenance money and young Kara who wants a zebra! Hey, how comes I got all the Bills and none of the Thrills?? Will someone pay my Bills? Will someone pay my telephone Bills? Will someone pay my automobills? I don't think they do, well then just a kiss will do! *waits for kisses to come* And Alan Whyte! is my new hero, for actually listening to the Red Bull Dozers and liking them! Did any of you know you can download FREE TRACKS on http://www.cockscrew.com/rbd ? Thought not ;-), go there now! What's MORE! *faints* If the ever lovely Mandee Wright is not lying to me, she is going to have her OWN radio show on Monday and she is going to play a Red Bull Dozers track! *dies in excitement* and you can listen online at http://www.unco.edu/ksrx and her show will be on at 10-12 midnight America (Mountain Standard) time and 5-7am UK time. *still waiting* Talking of great tunes, a few months ago, I've copied all of the songs on "If you're feeling Sinister" into mp3 on my computer, so that I don't have to pop in the CD into drive to listen to the kickin' trax, and so, all 10 toons have just become minions on the mp3 program's playlist... A few nights ago, I couldn't sleep properly (still adjusting from never sleeping timezone to ooh sensible working person sleeping timezone), so I wanted some music on the background to help me sleep, and turning on the computer for that would be overkill, so I popped in "If you're feeling Sinister", cos it looked like it said "If you're feeling Insomnia" into the CD player. And I have discovered the BEST drifting off to sleep CD ever! It starts off with soothing trumpets, then soothing piano, then soothing harmonica, then soothing Sturan (ooh er), with the soothing lyrics! It even ends on "Judy and the dream of horses"! I can't remember whether I dreamt of any horses that night, but it certainly helped me sleep, maybe it'll help you sleep too, for those nights when you've drunk too many Red Bulls. Except, you can never drink too many Red Bulls :-) Red Bulls and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: The mysterious, yet nature loving, Ken Chu can be found at http://robster75.tripod.com/redpant4.jpg, but please don't look, good god :-) P.S.S.: Good God is a great phrase where the first word has an extra o than the second word, a little challenge for you all, if you can find five other phrases (that make sense) that has the same style (two words, one with an extra letter than the other but otherwise the same), the first answer wins a mix tape, and my mix tapes are GOOD, just ask Laura Llew :-), who by the way surely is preparing the announcement of me as the winner of the TRANSATLANTIC MIXTAPE CHALLENGE right now... +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: a waterfall of emotion
by elise j. spry 08 Sep '01

08 Sep '01

Hello lovelies, It's been awhile, hasn't it? I feel like a totally different person fron the last time I posted. I'm gonna share some personal stuff, so if you don't feel like learning such things about me, then skip to the end of this post. Anyone still here? Your presence is appreciated, you sweet thing. Recently I went to the Methadone clinic, and started on the program there. I've been on since Sept 4th. Before that, I was on and off heroin for about four years. I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am about being on the program. I haven't spent any money on illegal drugs at all this week. I am doing mental cartwheels and somersaults (and not a small amount of imaginary-tail wagging)!! Now I can go to the b&s gig in Seattle without worrying about scoring dope or getting sick. If anyone has any experiences or advice they'd like to share, please email me off-list. And thanks for listening, I don't have many people in my semi-professional life I can share this with, know what I mean? ******E N D O F T H E P O S T****** Well, the end of the too-much-information bit, at least. At the moment I'm sitting in Madison's brand new internet cafe, Java EsCafe. I have to give them props, cos their internet access (for the time being) is FREE!! Yep, just buy a coffee or whatever, and surf to your heart's content. Much snazzier gear than the library's free computers. Though I will always adore the library, they don't let me sip lattes while surfing, and enforce a 30 minute time limit. Let's have more gig reviews, west coasters!! Por Favor? Ans links to pics would be grand. Okay, I'll stop demanding thngs and telling secrets. Well, one more thing. This Ken Chu fellow - would anyone be so kind as to email me a picture/link to a picture of this mythical Ken? Thanks everyone. I love you all. -elise PS Is wearing blue corduroy trousers and carrying a tan corduroy bag a fashion felony? :) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Be liberal with your nutmeg.
by Dairy Fairy 08 Sep '01

08 Sep '01

Hello sinister, It's a while since I've written so I may take a minute to get into the swing of it. Like when you go back to school and you find you now write like a seven year old and your hand aches after a couple of lines. I've been to Barcelona and got my a/s level results since i last posted. Both of which were great. I am now the proud owner of 4 As and a peely back. Nice. I am writing now because I feel all naughty and my stomach is blushing, if you know what that feeling is. See, i read all my sinister e-mails in one account and send them from another. And I always thought I was such an anonymous little sinister poster that no-one would reply to me personally so I didn't need to check the account I sent mails from :( And then my e-mail account went mad because it was overloaded with sinister mails since February. I think it was just scared really by the volume of words used, because on the majority of lists, people can only write words like cum, and c u, and big teen boobies. Sinister with its intellectual debate and people who can remember how to spell full words probably came as a shock. So it said I had to delete the mails. And I have spent this morning doing that, and along with all the sinister mails which I have read in my other account there were some replying to my mails and being all lovely and friendly to a shy listee. So I felt awful because I really like getting to know people but I must have seemed very rude. I have replied to most of them, apart from john john, who wrote me a message in march. And I thought he wouldn't remember sending it, so I couldn't really reply. But, john john, yes it was me who sent you the christmas parcel, from my other e-mail address. I did two, one with jelly and one with custard, hope you enjoyed whichever one you got :) After all that apologising, a bit of content. It's funny there's been not much mention of the new single apart from through matador. Or is that just that i've lost the mail that said about it and everyone else will laugh behind my back because they know every detail, have guitar tabs and have set up a separate list purely in honour of the epic new B+S song. Maybe it's just on American release, I don't know. Although that would seem funny from Belle and sebastian who I wouldn't have thought would deny dwellers of the United Kingdom a merry ditty. United Kingdom. hehe. What a funny name for our islands. Maybe it's just me who thinks a kingdom should have minstrels and men wearing little green skirts with tights and princesses with cone shaped hats rather than Tony Blair and ( possibly ) Kenneth Clarke as its icons. Ah well. I am off now to make some jam from the blackcurrants I spent ages collecting yesterday from our garden. I don't know why we have blackcurrants they are all fiddley to pick, and you have to add lots of jam sugar to make it palatable. not sure I spelt that correctly. Cheerio for now, Gracexxx --- And she spent the rest of the day separating the bits from the marmalade, or, if you prefer, the marmalade from the bits.
