Sinister: All Flatt And No Scruggs
by Peter Miller 03 Sep '01

03 Sep '01

I took a couple of B&S t-shirts to the charity collection bin for refugees or something. So keep your eyes open, I expect to see them gracing a machine gun brandishing maniac bumping down a dirt track on the back of a lorry soon. Speaking of charity, I've had a great idea for B&S's trip to Brazil. Why don't they adopt a street urchin? It would be great publicity, they could all be filmed disappearing down the street urchin's manhole. It would be like the Clangers on bad acid. Once inside the street urchin's sewerage-infested hidey-hole, they could serenade him with an acoustic singalong version of Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue as he looks on, glassy-eyed with gratitude. Well, it's better than nothing, I haven't seen many other suggestions... I think that 3,6,9 story is the best one Stuart has graced us with so far. I love the way he uses the word "friend" instead of "bird". David, I think Enrique might have been referring to the Spanish edition of Rolling Stone. I'd go and check it out, but it comes with some kind of Planet of the Apes thing sellotaped to the front. Speaking of which, did you know that Planet of the Apes and Bridge on the River Kwai were both written by the same person? And somehow that really impressed me. I wear my clothes because they were in the sales. And I certainly don't wear them in order to attract other people who buy their clothes in the sales. That would be disgusting. Top Gear mentioned Ribena in connection with possible upholstery stains.

Sinister: Jefferson, I think we're lost
by Alasdair Cook 03 Sep '01

03 Sep '01

I've been away again. But not for quite as long. I'm sure you're glad. Hey! Sinister! You're my best mate.. (sob). While I was away, England put a lucky five past the worst German team in history, and the Flying Dutchman Richard Gillanders posted. Crikey, that boy uses more sentences than I. Do. Wow. He deserves a tape for that. Picnic photos. Some points: Carsmile: Stop looking silly. It suits you far too much. Cazza: Move! I wanna see that dress! Wowser! Kenneth looks startlingly like Keith watson. I was startled. Fair dos though, I mean, we'd all like to, wouldn't we girls? CONVERSATION FEAR The other night, I went to a 'party'. I say it like this only because, at a party you are supposed to meet new and interesting people. Or at least new people. Aren't you? I didn't meet any new people, but I found all of them interesting. We listened to Tigermilk. My goodness, it's a good album, isn't it? I wouldn't have chosen to listen to it at all, only it happened to be lying on top of the stereo at the time. I thought "this feels like 1996", or at least how I imagine 1996 to have felt. For all the romance that surrounds that year, I didn't go to parties and I didn't listen to Belle and Sebastian records. In fact I didn't do very much, except watch Scotland outplay England for a whole half. During the week I bought some records, which I'm very pleased with. There were some albums, which were very reasonable, and two singles, which were: 'Cattle And Cane/Heaven says' - The Go-Betweens. G McLennan, 1983. 'How Will I Know/Someone For Me' - Whitney Houston. G Merrill, S Rubicam, NM Walden/R Jones, F washington, 1985. Which both excite me like nothing else, which is why music is my favourite art. You can only dance to one of them though. These are only two of the great single of the eighties. Some day Steady Mike might tell us what the others are, but he'll probably wait until we're all dead before he reveals his secret notebooks. When Mr and Mrs SM go 'home', does Berry cross the Mersey? Here's The PF89: >>My girlfriend told me to write this. She also told >>me to write that she told me to write this. >She told me that you were not into vegetables. But she >didn't tell me to write it. She's right. When she sprung a leek on me I almost carrotted her. >No. But I know your address. I also know an REM song >that says 'Here's my new address'. Is it 'Letter Never >Sent'? I like that bridge. You're right, it is. I just listened to it. Is it better than the bridge over the river Kwai though? How about the bridge over troubled water? Or even, to be parochial for just a second, the bridge over the Clyde? How did The Care Bear describe it? I wish I could remember. Oh wait, I don't need to: "..a big slithering brawny dark churning intimidating bottomless beautiful thing" Braw. The girl has a way with words. Usually she just spits them at me though. >We should talk more about >old, good REM songs. Like 'Little America' or - darn >it, I cannot remember the name of the one I want to >mention. Something about a canyon? You've lost me on that one, I'm afraid. But yes, 'Little America' is good; the double reference in THAT line, whatever else that might go along with it: let's talk about, oh, the end of 'So. Central Rain', or the extra guitar part in the final verse of 'Harborcoat', or the beginning of 'Carnival Of Sorts', the way those four breathless souls all rush in at once, with the coolness of touch and the confidence of youth, like that photo of Mills on the back of the second album. This is a good subject, I think. And I haven't even talked about the first album yet. >I think I started to think your mail was >a bit spoky I think I see what you mean. It went in lots of different directions? It kept spinning on? Undoubtably, this is one of your better verbs. I don't think I've enjoyed a David Moore post as much for a while. That sentence may be badly constructed. Anyway, his last one was vee gee, as Mr Murdoch is fond of saying. For him, a definition. David, not Stuart, of course. Clatty: Adj. Dirty, smelly, or generally unpleasant in the area of hygiene. The Canadian's post was also nice. I look forward to the return of her fuzzy trousers and poor organisational skills. Top lass. I just realised what day it is. And it almost floored me. I'm stunned.

Sinister: dirt in your fries
by Kirsten Kenyon 03 Sep '01

03 Sep '01

i came home from the picnic with a giant smile on my now-sunburned face, and it's amazing what three hours at home can do to kill a mood. dad's throwing the employment section in my face again and mom's giving me crap about missing church. and i've been sitting here reading everyone's posts...people writing about travelling, rinaldo's lovely ode to LA...and it is making me feel as though i'm never going to get out of milwaukee. i am sort of worried that forty years from now i will still be living here, working at viktor viktoria and cursing a lot. the picnic, however, was a wonderful time, even if i did drink myself sick. thank you thank you, jim, for kindly helping me to climb through the barbed wire and also for remembering to put my shins album back in my car, even after i'd nearly given you a concussion by means of reckless squaredancing. i dearly hope you are not suffering any bodily injury on my part. colin, thank you for the delicious grilled cheese breakfast slam. never in my wildest dreams had i imagined that such culinary delights could be so impeccably prepared without the use of any conventional kitchen utensils. amy bancroft, you are one great geehaw, and if i ever geehaw up the courage to get my tattoo i would love for you to geehaw on over to milwaukee and hold my geehaw if i get scared. shawn and emily, i didn't get to talk to either of you very much but you both seem lovely. shawn, i would love to see some of your work sometime and good luck with your show in minneapolis, and emily, your hummus smelled absolutely delicious, and in hindsight i can see that i probably should have said "to hell with my lack of hungriness" and eaten some anyway, if only to have some sort of cushion for all of the alcohol in my poor tummy. colin, your friends are great. oooh, i just wanted to bring everyone home with me. okay well that's about it. i am pretty tired from the drive and all. xoxo kirsten -ps--on the way home i was wondering...is IHOP really international?

Sinister: Great Lakes Picnic - AFTERMATH
by JAMES GILMER 02 Sep '01

02 Sep '01

I think we can safely say that the Great Lakes Picnic was a success. It was a great time and the best part was meeting some very cool people. Massive props go to Colin and his non-Sinister friends who made the drive all the way up from Kentucy to meet up with us. Also in attendence were the dynamic duo of Shawn and Emily, as well as the well-known Kirsten Kenyon, and of course the real brains behind the picnic and navigator extrodinaire Amy Bancroft, who desrves a special award for not tossing me out of the car for mangling Belle and Sebastian tunes on the ride back to Michigan. For those of you who didn't come you missed good food, ribena, Red bull & vokda, roasting marshmellows, a bonfire, the joys of running into barb wire in the dark, the sinister squaredance, and many other things that I'm far too tired to remember. Dancing was attempted but resulted in a near concussion for the two sinister peeps involved. Many thanks to Colin and company for inviting us all back to their campsite for drinking and bonfire fun, and for bringing vodka to go along with the Red Bull I brought. Hopefully everyone woke up this morning feeling refreshed and clearheaded, if so you're a bit farther ahead than I was. Anyways, a brilliant time was had by all, and many thanks to everyone involved, we'll have to do it again sometime. Next time I think I'll be a bit more careful of the barbed wire :) Jim _________________________________________________________________ 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: "DDR= Don't Do it, Rinaldo" or "Randy Newman gets it right"
by Rinaldo Thatchez 02 Sep '01

02 Sep '01

A while back someone was talking about what voice they heard when they read posts. You're free, of course, to choose any voice you wish for me when you read this, but, if you'd like to hear my voice in your head as it sounds right now in real life, it sounds something like this: it is hoarse, deep and sticky from overindulgence, overuse and lack of rest, marked by a slight California dude accent (like Keanu Reeves turned down a bit), and interrupted by the occasional moan. This post is part love letter and part whingefest (and you can bet it's gonna be a rambler). Oh, I do love to complain. Right at the top of things to complain about is the terrible pain I am in. Nipping at its heels in the second position is my past night's inability to sleep. But I don't think the pain has anything to worry about. I have a feeling that this is a chart topper with legs. We could be looking at an historic reign at number one for this pain. Insert moan. I reinjured myself last night. Sprained my ankle something awful in May, crutches, air brace, vicodin (it wasn't all bad), the whole shebang. Anyhoo, I was making a fine recovery until last night when I took a bad step on some uneven ground and gave it a really good twist. Really good. Now I'm just waiting for mumsy to come back from the store with Dr. Pepper and ibuprofen. This is, I think, all I can look forward to today. But, you may be asking, as Heart once did, "what about love?" Yes, the love I mentioned. Well, I fell in love last night, again, for the first time. We had a glorious night. Nothing extraordinary mind you. To hear me describe it you might think it sounds quite an average evening. But it was perfect because we shared it. I am just about as smitten as can be right now with this city. Oh, sorry. Did you think I was talking about a person? No, L.A. is my lady. Every time I come back here she opens herself up to me a little more and she only becomes more beautiful. I remember, growing up down here, being taught in grade school about the different types of climates that exist in the world. They told me that coastal Southern California has a 'mediterranean' climate. Maybe you've seen the Olive Garden commercial where the old Italian women steal the old men's clothes while they are swimming. This prank is supposed to illustrate the sense of fun and passion for life that people in that region have which, the advertisers would have you believe, you can experience to some degree when you eat at the Olive Garden. Now, if by passion for life you mean breadsticks your dog couldn't chew through and by sense of fun you mean wine that will unstop your sink then yeah, that's what you'll get at the Olive Garden. But other than that, I think the commercial speaks the truth. I've traveled a bit and I would say that that people of the Mediterranean do seem to be more open and fun loving than others. Last night it seemed to me that L.A. might share more than a climate with these peoples. I was at the Farmer's Market for karaoke last night and the joie d' vivre on display was just staggering. Someone sang Randy Newman's "I Love L.A.", a brilliant song incidentally, and when it came time for the call and response at the end everyone was screaming "we love it!" and we meant it. A woman who had to be 65 if she was a day sang "I've got the music in me" followed by a vato type guy singing Buster Poindexter's "Hot! Hot! Hot!" which generated a conga line. A mulleted dude in an Iron Maiden shirt sang "Shiny Happy People" sans irony. And this was a party for everybody. Eight to eighty-eight. Every color you can imagine. Everybody shaking what the lord gave 'em. I had signed up to sing "Baba O'Riley" and was a little worried because not many people were really doing rock n' roll. But I got up, gave it my all, and their cheers were as warm and sincere as a mother's love. It was glorious. It was upon leaving the market that my ankle and the asphalt conspired together to cut my night short. But, like I said, I was in love. Mere injury could not stop us. A quick stop at the drugstore for a cold pack and it was time to bowl. At the bowling alley I discovered several things: 1. I bowl better with my ass exposed. Don't ask me to explain it and don't look if you're just gonna complain about how white, flabby, hairy, and/or pimply it is. It's power is undeniable. James Brown got soulpower. I got asspower. 2. Rum and cokes sit surprisingly well on red wine. Is it some magic exception to the no mixing rule? Or did I just magically dodge a bullet the way you do sometimes? Clearly more research needs to be done in this area. 3. DDR is fawking hard. How do Chu do what he do? Granted, I was drizunk on the trizunk and nursing a game ankle but damn! This was failure on a whole new level. When the bowling had run its course (108!) we all went out to Canter's, a 24 hour deli with some damn good matzo ball soup. Real cities are open 24 hours. Do you know what Seattle has that's open 24 hours? Nothing you really want to visit. Greasy spoons full of vampires and people with nowhere else to go. I got in about 4:45 and for once, I realized, I was exactly where I wanted to be. I didn't have that vague longing that someone on the list was talking about recently, thinking that other places were somehow better and the people there were having more fun. Someone once said (how many times have I said that in a post?) Los Angeles is the lover in whose arms you would not want to die. Well, last night, I would've said the pleasure, the privilege is mine. ice packs and advil, Rinaldo _________________________________________________________________ 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: 3.. 6.. 9.. Seconds Of Light
by David Moore 02 Sep '01

02 Sep '01

Hi All, "a singer-songwriter's day is spent avoiding his so-called occupation" Poking round the Belle And Sebastian band site ( http://www.myspace.co.uk/belleandsebastian/ , as if you didn't know) today I noticed that Messrs Murdoch & Cooke have updated their pages in the (00's) Who section. Mick's decription of his first teen band is so funny I can't decide whether its rilly true or not, Stuart's is the story that he says should have gone on the Seconds of Light ep cover. I find new words for my vocabulary: I guess I can figure out what "bentshot" means, but "clatty"? Someone please define. BTW, I loved his previous entry, about his musical experiences in primary school, did anyone save it & if so would they please send me a copy? Thanks. Oh, I think its about time that the Photos page was up dated. Please can we have some of the polaroids that Sarah took onstage at Ipswich, especially during the Jilted John or Queen covers :) David Simpson mentioned The Bill Wells Trio. The video clip (if you can call 36 minutes a clip) with Bill, Stevie & Robert Henderson (?) can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/edinburgh/ram/edmixingit.ram Thanks to Geneviève for Reporting Back and so descriptively as well on her (preliminary, I hope) expedition to the old country. I started to freeze too on the deck of that ferry to Arran. Did you really go so far as to invite 1452 of us almost complete strangers over to Canada to visit, ice skate and eat Beaver Tails? And how do you enforce a line break in plain text, anyway? :) She also marked Struan's birthday & I don't think it would be fair not to mention the others' as well. I can't remember the soutrce of this, but here goes anyway: Stevie Jackson 16th January 1969 Sarah Martin 12th February 1974 Isobel Campbell 27th April 1976 Richard Colburn 25th July 1970 Stuart Murdoch 25th August 1968 Chris Geddes 2nd October 1975 Mick Cooke 15th December 1973 Stuart David 26th December 1969 Thanks also to Archel for marking the passing of Robin & Owen. I hope they return one day. YELLOW SUBMARINE Youn wrote: >> home (home!) >The second time, how was it pronounced? (I guess), for the pleasure of savouring the word and the feeling again, with a mixture of satisfaction, almost surprise, even triumph after such a long time of not being in a position to use the word truthfully. >It is always raining inside me. There's a future for you as a indie soft-pop lyricist, I reckon. >> old Foxgloves song 'Chicken In A Bucket' >Foxes and Chickens do not mix. Foxglove1 needs to work on his southern drawl. A prototype for material being prepared for the twilight of the Foxgloves career on the chicken in a basket circuit methinks. BTW, Foxgloves 1 & 2 both live South of the river. On Segundosdeluz Luis Enrique Reports that there are a review & photos of B&S @ Benicassim in Rolling Stone. A quick trip to WH Smith tomorrow I reckon.

Sinister: Peter Carter, you are a genius
by mummy i've grazed my knee 02 Sep '01

02 Sep '01

GENIAL I have been on sinister since late '97 and I've seen some wonderful wonderful posts, but today, Peter Carter was the first to move me to tears. I'm in a pretty weird mood this morning which might have something to do with it. My face is red hot and I'm falling asleep at the keyboard, but sinister has once again made me smile. BLUE PHOTOS FROM RED KNOCKER DAY Sorry, that was actually meant to say knicker, but it looks good as it is. Props to Robster for some great photos. I can't think of many captions, but the prize for most ridiculous face pulling should be split between Carsmile and James. Apps wins the prize for looking like a young Mathew Pinsent. I am pleased to be the dominant member of one photo, although Trousers' specs sort of steal the show. TARA'S I was amused to see that more than one Tara had a birthday yesterday. It was the anniversary of our very own Feather Boa, so many happy returns. I was going to write a comparison thing between FB and lindsey's friend Tara, but then I saw that lindsey's Tara is a virgin and I didn't know what to do. ASM WALTON The reason I'm being so quiet on the 90's songwriter front is because I didn't want to embarrass you, but, for the record, this was young Sam's list 1. Williams/Chambers 2. Halliwell 3. Vengaboys 4. Pinky/Perky 5. Chaz/Dave The Pine Fox will be impressed. ANSWERS TO READERS QUESTIONS I have noticed that people have a lot of unanswered questions on this list, so I thought I'd have a go at answering them. - Adam uni - No - PeetsketchSteve - Maybe you should, but they can get caught in ventilation shafts - PhotoJenni - Yes I have That's enough for now. Chris Jones. P.S. Thank you Mark for your help. Unfortunately all my immaculate planning was in vain, Oh well, when's the next plane to Poland... +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: give quiche a chance
by Jeremy Tweddle 02 Sep '01

02 Sep '01

Hello all, Well, that lovely time has come for me to bid farewell to Perth, Aus and embark on a far more exciting sofa bed tour of the UK. As Gordon kindly mentioned there's a picnic happening on the 15th September and you're all cordially invited (back to mine as it were). As for those of you that can't (or won't) make it to Edinburgh on the 15th, I'm now giving you the chance to cash in on the breamy craze. I'll be gracing your shores from the 10th September onwards and in Edinburgh til mid October sometime. For those that want the honour and privilege of meeting a real live Australian boy (because we all know they're a rarity all throughout the UK), then I'll see what I can do and pencil you in. At this point I drop the pretence that any of you will be wanting to meet me, and just get down to the hardcore begging and pleading. *begs and pleads* If anyone would like to meet up for a drink ANYWHERE or have a sofa that needs some company for an evening, email me off list and I'll look into seeing my way to your neck of the woods. And anybody interested in catching the luckies at Leeds or Bath (or both) let me know, because I WILL be there, and friendly faces would be an added bonus. Sorry to sound like a berk, I'm not really helping my cause here am I? Jeremy ps. Big hugs, kisses and general thanks to Helen (the soon to be sole remaining Perth sinisterine). There's still time to get in my luggage, you've just got to get down to 20kg and 90cm tall. Easy enough? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Oh, my goodness
by P F 02 Sep '01

02 Sep '01

There is still much to be said about the astonishing events of yesterday. Possibly some of it will even be said. But before all that, it's necessary to talk about shock and sadness. Brian Moore has died at a mere 69. He didn't even get to see England's finest hour (I suppose that means the last 60 minutes). Today Barry Davies came on the BBC in white trousers and black blazer and spoke of Brian and his love for the language like a man who knew the language inside out himself. He hardly needed 'questions' - he simply talked, but not rambling off like every other sausage in the world of sport - no, Barry simply told us what he had to say about this man who had died. "A nice guy... a very genuine fellow... a great broadcaster... and I emphasize the word *broadcaster*". This, if anything, was what television was for. There follows a page's silence in memory of a Gillingham fan. As he used to say himself, when he was anchoring The Big Match: Bye-bye. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Hai. or hello, if norwegian isn't the language of choice.
by Nik Ovenden 02 Sep '01

the number of times i've apologised for not speaking any norwegian befuddles the mind. Well, i'm almost home. i hate the british. Especially football fans. I pretend I'm interested, just to appease dad. Or he'd be disappointed that none of his sons turned out ok. ha ha, i assume he knows that about me already... I made jokes about the rioting - "oh, that's the pre-match rioting, you can tell by the formation". ho ho ho, i'm sure the celebration riots were better. Lots of posts have compelled me to echo sentiments. How to disappear completely at Oxford was my highlight. It was the 2nd encore, and by that time i was wet, my cardy had leaked green dye over my clearlake t-shirt and i was cold. I thought they'd abandoned the song when it started playing. it's one of my fuzzy songs. and it sounds like Vangelis, one of my early favourite artists (cf Blade Runner OST). DDR is fantastic. isn't it ironic, i can put the combinations together when they're on a screen, but i can't walk in a straight line down a street. the product of the MTV generation... My phrase is "I dance like Mick Cooke" after seeing them in Cardiff. and i do. maybe worse. i can't wait to go to edinburgh. maybe i'll get invited to picnics. the South west UK and norway are suspiciously devoid of B&S fans. I bought a rainbow scarf to go with my mittens. I love rainbows almost as much as traffic lights. red, amber and green...mmm...i had traffy loites (say in somerset accent) cakes till my 4th birthday. And i missed the beta band at the pilton party. apparently, they were good. Ah well. Who's going to the new order gig on October 12th? Will Mr Billy Corgan play with them? Would anyone be able to offer me a place to sleep? I can sleep standing up if it helps. Are these and any questions answerable? who knows... I know cliff richard likes traffy loites, Love Niko xxx Oh, plus i need a ticket. Schmoe. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
