Sinister: weather with you
by Dimitra 08 Sep '01

08 Sep '01

I'm drinking wine, and looking at the screen. I look at my hand holding the glass and I remember myself standing outside a bar toilet in November '99, glass in hand and leaning on the wall, waiting for a certain boy to come out. 'I have something to tell you', I said. 'Should I say it here?'. He said yes. 'I'm in love with you'... We moved in together a few months later. We started fighting a few weeks later. We never stopped. We broke up. Today, or yesterday rather, I had a great day. The weather was great: windy, sunny and a bit cloudy at the same time. The sky was deep blue, the clouds were little and white, the wind was coming through the window. I dreamed of driving out of the city and lying down on a hill looking at the sky. But I don't know anyone with a car. Or anyone that would consider it a nice idea. Or any hills around here. So instead, I ended up drinking coffee on a table on the pavement in the centre of the city, with the aforementioned boy. And talking about Sinister. Honestly. About john john too. Then we walked around the city looking for something he needed to fix someone's door. We didn't find it. I was tempted to walk into a travel agency and ask how much a ticket for Edinburgh for the next weekend would be, but I didn't. We sat on a bench and had something to eat. The bench was in the middle of the street and the wind blew exactly in the direction of the street, and it felt as if we were going to take off... We didn't. I was smiling, and said, 'I don't want you to move to Athens.... It's things like that that make me feel...' and at that point he jumps in and says, ' that you can take it till you move to Scotland, right?'. And he was right. I wondered a bit about how can everything can go wrong when you're in love with someone, and then go right when you're not. People think it's weird... but it's just beautiful. A second chance to be with someone and love them, and this time it's working!!! We said goodbye, and I went into a record shop which a friend of mine owns. He was my boyfriend too, the first one (the aforementioned one was the second). And I'm friends with him too. Honestly. I went out shortly after, with a Housemartins and Felt album. Now That's What I Call Quit Good, and The Strange Idols Patterns And Other Stories/Ignite The Seven Cannons. I walked around a bit more, and bought Sweetie a present. Walked a bit more, to the bus stop. Waiting for a bus makes me dreamy, even more when it's windy and it's getting dark. There was a parking opposite of me, but it's one of the few places where there are trees in the city. Tall trees with leaves that fall in the wind, on parked cars. And buses all around. And the sea next to that. I got home to discover there was no one there. I turned on the computer and played the Housemartins cd. It made me happy. When they came back, soon afterwards, they found me grinning in front of the screen. Looking really happy (I was really happy too). I think it made them worry. My mum, my brother, his girlfriend, his best friend. My dad was the last one to come in. My dad usually hates me, but when there are people around, he behaves, and it's then he remembers he loves me. I like it when a lot of people gather together in a house, especially when it's not planned. It usually feels like celebrating something. Life,probably. He decided to cook. I went out to buy some wine -the weather was still great, as I walked in the night I was amazed I could feels so happy without something really wonderful having happened to me. And glad. Back home, I was lying on my mum's bed, listening to Felt, and talking to my mum who was hanging clothes to dry, my brother enters the room. He has just discovered our dad is talking to his girlfriend, trying to convince her to give up the job she found. God knows why. For no reason really apart from the fact that telling people what they should do, and why, makes him feel better. So my brother walks in, looks at us, and says, 'Has your *husband* been drinking?'. That's how my life is these days. Weird. Sunny. Windy. Dreamy. Lonely sometimes, but in a magical sense. I hope it stays that beautiful. Love, and keep the faith, Dimitra +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Yes...My name IS "The Pickle Prince"
by Jason McKinnon 07 Sep '01

07 Sep '01

Hello Sinister World: It's been awhile laziness and HTML email have hindered our communication but nonetheless here we are. Listening to Lloyd Cole out of sheer wanting-to-be-more-like-the-pinefox-ness.... Aside from some 120 Minutes episodes I haven't listened to him much. First impression? Good...growing on me. Speaking of PF, we seem to be on the same wavelength these days. Old REM has been popping up in my playlists these days quite a bit. I mean..."Wolves Lower"....one remembers summer of heat watching the kudzu slowly take over that old wooden building in the middle of that cow field....skinny-dipping at night....drinking bad wine...generally being a southern-born weirdo with no hopes, just a couple of inclinations...most of them self-destructive....They are the soundtrack to my younger adolescence. But I die-gress.... B & S are a-coming...tomorrow! And frankly I'm pickled tink... A Sinister Picnic in GG Park? Well...aint that something? I guess I'm RSVP'ing (quit chuckling you scatological-minded person you) for it. Stow Lake is quite beautiful and there are these little electric boats you can ride...Heehehe...I can picture the mayhem. Loads of people got to meet Stuart in LA? It may be tougher at the Warfield...It's quite a big venue...I wonder how it'll happen....Will he pop down off the stage after the show..and begin gladhanding?....kissing babies?...I just don't know.... My co-worker's boyfriend got hit and run'ed today and is in intensive care....they had to cut open his skull so his brain wouldn't swell...so I'm alone on the 17th floor of the Humboldt Bank Bldg....thinking of mortality (and yes, PF, listening to Lloyd Cole). How fleeting this life is...we can take nothing for granted...it can all change in a second...all that. Sounds trite...but raw emotion almost always leaves a scar...garish in its obviousity....when words fail, and cleverness turns out to be just running, hiding from truth.... Reminds me of that line from Fight Club: "Oh, that's clever....how's that working out for you?" "How's WHAT working out for me?" "Being clever...." A bittersweet missive indeed Sinister....it has been too long...I've missed you. Do take care...look both ways...and then look again. See you in the park..... The Pickle Prince P.S. If anyone with more pic-nic details would like to email me off list, that would be grand. Also, if anyone needs directions, help of any sort...feel free to email me or even call if you get lost or something...... 415-252-9722 415-420-2766 _________________________________________________________________ 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: First Post (including an EXCLUSIVE story about my friend)
by Danny Farrell's Sidekick 07 Sep '01

07 Sep '01

Introduction I am Alan Whyte, this is my first post, though I've been on Sinister for about a year. I enjoy reading the posts, but can't be bothered/don't have time to post (I am very lazy). I am 19 and from a small mining town south west of Glasgow called Chadville. I love B&S (obviously) Hefnet.com, Magentics, Tindersticks, S-Club 7 and the Red Bull Dosers. My favourite posters are JenOwl, KenChu and my best friend/hero Danny. I also like David Howie who lives in the same town as me, but he hasn't posted "since afore Christmas" (Copyright Craig Leitch 2000). Ken Chu is my personal hero (apart from Danny, Trip Fontaine, Beans, Hayman and Ricky Fitz) after seeing him at the Glasgow picnic sliding down a helter-skelter with a bottle of vodka and a can of red bull in hand. His band (the Red Bull Dosers) are grate, everyone should listen to them (he is not paying me to say these things). Below is a short story about Danny, more will follow about me and my other friends. Danny - Danny is immune to dobberitis. He got a jag for it at school. It was sore and hurted him for ages. Mummy kissed it better and the nurse gave him a lollypop. Danny likes lollies, they taste grate. Today he went to feed the ducks, cause they will be hungry cause they dont have money to go to the chip shop when they cant get fish in the winter. The ponds all freeze up and people go on it and fall down, and he laughs, but only for a wee while cause Danny knows he wouldnt laugh if it happened to him. His bum would hurt and he wouldnt be able to sit down. As Danny grew older, he realised that this lesson would help him throughout his life. He thought he could be a better person and learn to love. Danny sat alone at night and watched the stars because they sparkled like nice sparkly things. They reminded him of the eyes of the girl he adored. This kept him awake at night and made him think that life was not the painstaking process he had once believed it to be. On Monday morning Danny glanced at the cuckoo clock and his heart started to beat so hard he thought it might burst through his flesh. The reason for this was that it was almost 8 Oclock, the hour at which he would knock upon the door of the girl known only to him as Jenny-beans. It had been a long time since they had last met and he had gone through many sleepless nights longing for her marshmallow and butterscotch cookies. He thought them to be the finest he had ever tasted. It was with that thought that he headed to the hills. P.S. More will follow, thank u if u took the time to read this. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. P.P.S. Listen to the Moldy Peaches, wear purple, read Douglas Coupland novels and never, EVER say bad things about Isobel (it makes me want to cry). "I'm so in love with you dear, it's like I'm on the moon. I can't really breathe, but I feel lighter." - Merritt 3:16 _________________________________________________________________ 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: Los Angeles #2
by Brier Random 07 Sep '01

07 Sep '01

Hi Kids, Well.... it's all over. Anticipation replaced by memories. Show #2 was *almost* as good as the first one. After neglecting to play anything from the Sinister LP the first night, they busted out THREE songs from it last night. And their cover of "Creeque Alley" by The Mamas & The Papas was definately the highlight for me. If you don't know the song, find it & listen to it, then imagine B&S doing it, smiling, trading verses. Magical. Setlist: Sleep The Clock Around I Know Where The Summer Goes The Boy With The Arab Strap Family Tree Legal Man Simple Things Theres Too Much Love Womens Realm The Wrong Girl Jonathan David The Magic of a Kind Word Dog On Wheels Fox In The Snow If Youre Feeling Sinister Creeque Alley (The Mamas & The Papas) Dirty Dream #2 Dont Leave The Light On Baby Like Dylan In The Movies If i've forgotten any, let me know. Or we could ask our loveable little Rachel Cornflake, who was at the very frontest front row, peering up Isobel's dress. Maybe she stole a setlist. Anyway, seeing the band changes everything. To put some faces to the music really makes it even more personal. Stevie is the *BEST*. I *love* Stevie. He's so damn cute, and when he sings without his guitar (as in Jonathan David) he looks so shy & slightly awkward. The nearest I can explain is: Stuart is Ferris Bueller, and Stevie is his friend Cameron. And the trumpet sounded perfect. It was amazing really, listening to the trumpet: every note sounded exactly like it came right off the record. I guess there's only so many sounds a trumpet can make, but it sounded perfect. And Sarah really does look like a little kid, I thought she was Isobel's niece or something, that it was some kind of "take your daughter to work" day, but i wish she sang "Waiting For The Moon To Rise" and had her moment in the spotlight. And Isobel's voice, I used to think there was a certain amount of studio trickery to make it sound so sweet & sugary, but there it is in person, man..... there it is. Breathy and sticky, like a warm erotic secret whispered in your ear by the hot breath of a lover. Wonderful. I hope everyone got to meet Stuart after the show. He's nicer than you can imagine. And if anyone knows the girl who got pulled onstage to sing "Take Me Out To The Ballgame", or know someone who knows her, I *might* have some photos of her up there. And at the end of the evening, Stuart promised us that he'd be back soon, "It won't take us another 6 years." So that's reassuring. Although a year is still a long time in pop music. Floating...... ~Brier +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Don't stop me on the rum just because it makes me numb
by Danny Farrell 07 Sep '01

07 Sep '01

Hi lovely sinister-type people. My bestest friend seen struan at an Ayr Utd football game about a month ago and stuart seen that he was wearing B&S badges and laughed and said hello to him, from now on im going to go to all the Ayr games to see if i can spot him. I wonder if he'd still talk to people now or is he a bona fide rock celebrity because of that angelina jolie business :) I love how the music press talks about B&S, its grate. I don't really understand NME's animosity towards them though. I did a few personality tests on the internet recently and wouln't you know it im an idealist,a dreamer with his head in the clouds.Im also intelligent,loving and shy but have dependency issues. I think personality tests are grate. My idea is that at parties instead of akward small talk to get to know people everyone should carry cards which have what their personality is like and they could hand them about. It would save a lot of time. Doesn't everyone think Jenowl's grate? I do! i think we should have some sort of sinister awards or honour roll and Jenowl could get a big trophy that has one of those ribena berry things made of solid gold with amethyst (is that the purple jewel thingy?) eyes. I wish i could go to the american gigs, i think it would be fun if they did a cover of "Summer Nights" from the film Grease.Isobel could do the saccharine Olivia Newton-John part and Stevie could do the deep Travolta bit and then random members could do the "tell me more, tell me more". That would make me laugh. Im off to Blackpool on Saturday with my girl-friend which is great but i need to make sure i don't get drunk and tell her how much i love her. Isn't semi-requited love just the worst? :( Life's still grate though because now i have a lot of rare B&S stuff on mp3,i love Rhoda and Lord Anthony, even though the sound quality of Lord Anthony is really dire. Ill go now and leave you in peace but before i forget i need to jump on the bandwagon - Ken Chu, Ken Chu, Ken Chu!

Sinister: In the bored room the quiet girl takes a second to think what to do
by The Hodottir 07 Sep '01

07 Sep '01

Oh Sinisters, a beautiful thing is happening.. It's more beautiful than a David Hasselhoff gig uniting East and West Berlin together at the falling of The Wall. It's Belle and Sebastian joining a somewhat jaded 'creative' agency in Friday afternoon matrimony. Suddenly the stereo is attracting a crowd previously only gathered around shop-bought birthday cakes and annual reviews. Something for everyone as the lyrics emerge; an Art Director picks up on 'I'll go and play with words and pictures', while the office himbo hangs his self-conscious head to 'looking at the working week through the eyes of a gigilo'. This must be what it feels like to be God. Having read Brier's (hope that's the right credit) post earlier, I'm a wee bit worried about Stuart & co. Sounds like they might be frightened in such a big country with no Irn Bru or Gregg's sausage rolls to remind them of home. (sniff) I hope they come back soon. SO there's no content to this, but I agree with everyone who has commented on the quality of posts recently. To hang with content! My official salute goes to Madeline for her evocative description of a walk into town. Keys in one hand, fag in the other - it's the ultimate defence system.

Sinister: The Art Of Forming A Band - and the trouble that it brings.
by Astrid Wiezell 07 Sep '01

07 Sep '01

Hi! First of all, I hope that all of you sinisteree´s who are or already have seen B&S had or will have a great time! I am dead jelaous, but I won´t sit here feeling sorry for myself, I should be grateful that they tour at all. I could just sit around and sulk, because I´m only 15, but I chose not to, it´s not that fun you know. Last night, at the youth club, me and three of my friends, Kine, Anna and Indra decided to form a band. We had just been down in the rehearsal room and just acted really strange, i.e Kine standing screaming as loud as she managed to, me playing pretendguitar and screaming along, Anna sitting on an amp looking bored and Indra behind the drumkit hitting the drumsticks against eachother. It was dead strange, but quite fun. We were about to call ouselves the incompetent bears. Why, you may wonder. I have no idea. Kine just screamed it, on swedish. Haha. But today, one of the girls in a twin couple that have just started our school said that she could play the bass, which we thought was grate. But then, she said "Well, my sister, Sofia, she´s magnificent on guitar! She can do all these cool riff´s and stuff!" and the others said like "Well, bring her!". But then, guitar is my instrument, and sure, you can have two guitarists in a band, I don´t mind, but then, I want to be the better one, not the one in the background strumming chords. I can´t take barchords, especially not f or fm, and I am now scared to bits that they won´t think I´m good enough. And our bassist, Emma, said like "Well, I´ve got some lyrics" and it was about a blind rabbit or something, in swedish, and I think it was like.. punk she wanted us to play... PUNK! I can´t play PUNK!! I want to play silly and lovely pop, not PUNK. I am scared of pun! i just can´t play punk. I know that Anna don´t want to play punk either, but then, Indra and Kine want to, i think. They seemed quite enthusiastic about it. I feel quite bad about it - I don´t think that I´m that good on guitar, and, It´s embarrassing, and I´ve never been in a band before, and stuff like that. Emma and Sofia had been in a band called Ass-sweat before, and that seems like a typical punkband. Eeek. Help me, older and wiser sinisteree´s, for I am truly confused and afraid that I won´t be able to play the music I want to, and that they will think that I´m really bad. Ah, I´m rpbably just being silly, but I don´t want ot disappoint anyone. Ok, so Indra can´t play the drums yet, Kine´s voice ain´t that good, and Anna can´t play anything (she´s supposed to play the tambourine I think) and then Emma, sure, she can play bass. I wanted this to start out as just being with your friends and trying to come up anything, not starting directly really hardcore. Oh, Sorry for this stupid post, but being 15 and confused isn´t that easy. Take care, Astrid xxx _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!

Sinister: if you are on your late twenties and serving lattes...
by Arantxa Sanz 07 Sep '01

07 Sep '01

Hello all: Should I introduce myself once again? So long, no seen.There is really few faces still active around who could recognize my stabs into English grammar.La LLew's (take the La as a fancy nickname, or take it as a recognition of diva status, do as you want)reversion of hipsters' poems prompted me to send me something, fifteen minutes ruling or not. Genevieve's wondrous spirit got materialized for some lucky individuals up the border. Ufff, that sentence sounds like Genevieve was the Virgin Mary. Well, one needs a similar degree of faith to believe there was actually such a fantastic creature growing up and rowing in lakes and attending some secondary school. The Llew myth has not reached similar levels yet, though it arises a similar sensation of disbelief. She is in fact a perfectly happy housewife in her fifties who got fed up of sipping frozen mint tea at the porch and discovered the Internet. Sure she adored 'The Bell Jar' and 'On the road' and this and that in her teens during the 50s, then she got to college and became a teacher and married that guy who was waiting for her somewhere and had four children she reared successfully and now she is in need to fill hours in her early retirement playing literary games with dazed and confused twenty-somethings populating this snobby island. So, going back to my subject. If after 8.5 years in higher education one is quite happy to start serving cappucinos in some anti-Starbucks cybercafe, something must be going wrong in one's life. Or mind, but aren't they both the same? I'll do my best about the soundtrack played in the background,at least. Belle and Sebastian did vanish from my own soundtrack-to-the-late-events-of-my-life,Ladytron were the latest replacement, but the Strokes have come in handy for an adrenaline supply. Urban and angry and fast. The Who are making UNCUT's cover and we will all be wearing black.That has to be good. x Arantxa +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Update on 2nd show... A wanderer plays on muted stings....
by Mikesjobeck＠aol.com 07 Sep '01

07 Sep '01

Dimetra!!!! That was such a heart felt post:) It brought me very close to your world you know? you were like a stranded angel so seemingly untouchable and from an alltogether far off separate planet... Ah! and how many of us too i wonder, love these scottish scarf wearing days...? These Autumnal late summer gusts of wind and daisies....? shimmeringly cold and starsprinkled nights....? Staring into outerspace while listening to The smiths "there is a light and it never goes out"....? Magic.....:) OH!!! But I must tell you sinisteree's very briefly That the 2nd show which ended just a little while ago was even BETTER than the opening one!!! They mixed it up brilliantly!!!!! :) even played "the fox in the snow" as well as "like dylan in the movies" both mesmerizing and full with passionate artistry and just the right amount of melancholy... I was wholeheartedly STUNNED and reduced only to pure uplifting emotion!! or as Marilyn Monroe once said "I felt goose pimpily all over" :):):):):):):):) 5 or 6 differnt songs than the first night!!! including "dog on wheels" And "dirty dream #2" you have to understand how rare this is for a band to perform in such manner as having an entirely different set after only one night!!!!! Oh, but then again its "Belle and Sebastian" Tonight =s A+ across the board!!! They even handed out a fucking baseball to a teary eyed lass who sang "take me out to the ballgame" Okay!!! Truely amazing songs performed tonight kids, so for anyone going to all the remaining shows this is like gold dust!!!! And now I've collected two nights worth....:) Do yourselves a favour folks! Sell the car the bike the trike the telly>>> WHATEVER!!! and make the dream real!!!! make it real.... (:and take Dimetra with you:) Carpe Diem!!!
