Sinister: ch-ch-ch-changes, turn and face the strange...
by frith on the hills 06 Mar '02

06 Mar '02

as of late, i've been really wanting a change of pace. i want out of the rain, the miserable, god-forsaken rain that overcasts the northwestern united states. lately, all i think about is getting out of here. i love my friends here, i love the music here, i love the city, in fact, but i want sun and fun and i want good texas-style barbeque. i think austin, texas sounds like a nice place to be. maybe i'm all wrong about that, but frankly, portland is dismal these days. there just ain't no work to be had in this lumberjack town, and there's too much stimuli to go around not working. the routine gets boring, actually. get up, go to school, come home... and that's if i have school that day. after 'come home', it's anything goes. but anything and everything that i ever seem to do seems to always involve going out and spending money i don't have, and jobs are a hot commodity here these days. so that's a part of it. no work makes jack a broke boy, or me as the case may be (since my name ain't jack). it's almost funny to me to be posting on this list since i hardly listen to twee or indiepop stuff much at all anymore, but the ol' b&s still do have a place in my cold, cold heart i must say. okay, it's not all that cold, and as far as i'm concerned, if you aren't all jaded anyhow, and you listen to b&s, something is wrong with that picture. but indiepop in general is a little too, how might i say this, trite for the most part. i can't get past all these bands out there trying so hard to be cutesy and cuddly and denying any real human emotion or angst or frustration or whatever. and being unemployed and bored will give you lots of that. so i listen to metal, goth, new wave, hardcore punk and garage for the most part these days. quite a change from anything anyone whose known me over the years would've ever expected. but that's me, full of surprises. what prompted me to write to this list was actually nostalgia. i was remembering back when i was little i got myself this book in the mail on my birthday. it had all these colorful, animated characters: circus clowns, talking animals, balloons, fancy-schmacy stuff that little kids seem to like. the whole book was about me! it was about me and my birthday, it even had my name in it, and the little boy that was the main character was me, too! it took me many years before i learned the truth, that indeed it was a gimmick my mom sent off for and basically a really expensive birthday card. but the point was how damn cool that thing was. it's not even my birthday for a while, so i don't even know what made me think of it again, but i long for that kind of magic in my life. to feel like somehow i'm really important and whatever i do is equally important. i think maybe texas is the answer? hrmmm, maybe not but it's certainly a change. see, you kids down there have so much beautiful art circulating throughout your lone star state, and you're sorta smack dab in the middle of everything. i don't even know if UT is really all that great of a grad school for an art historian like myself, but it can't be all that bad. and if i was once again fired up about my passions (as my current school has more than doubly dulled my interests in them) i think i'd feel that sense of self-importance effervescing once again from deep within my soul. i think also i was prompted to write today because last night was truly the first indiepop show i'd attended since probably last september. dressy bessy came to town with a texas band of all things (the deathray davies, who are not indiepop but are indeed very good) and i was quite pleased to see them in spite of how cute their schtick is. so i guess that makes me a hypocrite, but i'm okay with that. a little bit of an oxymoronic, idiosyncratic personality complex isn't the worst thing a person could be afflicted with. i tell ya', too much free time really is the devil's work; it makes you really question everything, and frankly at 25 i feel too damn old to be in such a state of flux. don't most people get to some point eventually where they feel comfortable with where they're at? i just don't think portland, oregon was ever my last stop on the way in life... but unfortunately, i think i'll be here for some time longer. i've got that travel bug and it's an itch you just can't scratch with imagination alone. are there any french or german sinisterines? you'd be really nice to know because at least then i'd have a reason to speak all this french and german i've taken the time in my life to learn. oh, to travel to places yonder... also, am i the only one in the world who's come to that realization that rawk is much more fun? i have to say that the legal man ep is still my favorite. b&s do know how to rawk! chris _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: coachella meetup
by bus stoppers 05 Mar '02

05 Mar '02

dearest sinisters! i don't think that this is list abuse...but i will go on anyway... i am proposing some sort of "meet-up" for coachella. uum. i'm new to this whole meet-up thing. so i don't really know as to what responsibility i am taking on. in my head it's just all the organizing of getting everyone to the same spot at the same time, right? let's hope so. because i think that i can do this. so far i know that brier, ernie, oscar, and whoever else i am non-intentionally leaving out will be there. plus me. and rachel fruitloop (via cell phone)*. that's enough for me. so far i guess my plan is to just have you e-mail me personally if you are going to be there and let me know what's up and if you guys want to get together. i will be there both days and i will be camping. woo hoo! on to indio! yay for polo fields! love and super hot weather, sara *note: for all those meeting-up, for an extra-special incentive, you will get to say howdy to the loverly rachel fruitloop. who unfortunately is unable to make it, but will be there in spirit and over the phone for the entirety of our beloved's performance! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: everyday is like SOMEday......
by caleb ben moore 05 Mar '02

05 Mar '02

hey-lo sinisters. caleb ben here. i just read this. its an excerpt from an essay that a friend of mine wrote awhile back. it has no b&s content, but you'll still like it. or at least i hope you will. :) if you do like it drop the author a line at pleasenoalarms(a)aol.com her name is danielle. ttfn! .caleb ben p.s. a big hug to my shy & shimmering kallis ulla :) *** Sometimes just the way someone�s voice comes across on a radio or cd player can encapsulate the way your heart feels at the exact moment. Their built up years of misery, rough childhoods, broken families, experimentation�s with chemicals and those of the opposite sex that left them feeling more empty than they did before, listening to laments of other singers that they thought expressed the same writhing pain they hid in their lanky bodies. Tormented teens planning their escape, either through ending their misery (I�ll show them all!) or running off to a life where they could immerse themselves in the only thing that they loved and loved them back, the one thing that never judged or asked about future plans or criticized the wearing of tacky retro jeans, all loving music. The weakness and yearning in David Bowie, the confidence and smartness regardless of suicidal lyrics and unrequited love for self of the Smiths. Ethereal highs and lows as Elizabeth Fraser wrapped us in clouds of voice carrying us along a ride we knew nothing about, nor could discern through lyrics we couldn�t interpret, or didn�t want to interpret, dreaming of a song created for us, no matter what she said. The upbeat, progressive and self pitying songs of New Order and Pet Shop Boys. Dancing and flailing our arms, smiling even though they were talking about the roughness of life, in perfect candor. We were sycophants addicted to their music, even though we were the lowly they sang about, but we danced, lost and convinced ourselves for that 5:30 minutes we were on the same plain, only to have it crash as they played the melancholy, dark and haunting �Love Will Tear Us Apart� by Joy Division. We can all relate, even if we were never loved or kissed or had never even loved another. The voice of a dead man seems to be even more poignant as he sings and wails about lost love and how he would bleed himself just to hear her sweet laughter once more, or how he would sell his soul to be adored. Even in the depths of our candlelit rooms, with our pretentious books in full display, Q magazines always abundant and water stained from when we read them in every bathroom in the house, we sobbed and cried as Brett Anderson asked us to come to his arms and be there under a nuclear sky. Or even indulging ourselves as far as to run away from our sad homes and streets to that of an English one just to accept that we truly are common people�and admit that it was ok. Commuting to our work and home and running our errands, living out a fantasy that we weren�t really here, that we could walk through walls or float down a liffy or elevator as it were. Smiling our painful smiles, the ones that made your heart feel that it could actually break. Saying hellos as though they weren�t forced, making meaningless conversation with people who never thought or felt the things we did. Choosing tea over the mechanical rhythm of coffee and the chic nature of it. Repeating lyrics whilst making copies, with every flash of light of the machine reciting �The corporate hands� �flash�. �grab all they can�� flash� �all for themselves� �.flash�� after all� it�s a competitive world�SING IT�. No more flashes except the one to change the toner and return to a desk and chair. Disbelief, acceptance, panic attacks, obsession and then questioning which just led us to where we were before. Reading dark books to the ambient sounds that sent us into a trance where we knew not what time it was just that it was time and there was nothing we could do to stop this clock. Our days were jumbled, first going too slow and now as we look at ourselves and pray we aren�t Gen-Xer�s we feel so different inside then when we first discovered that wild horses could never take us away, or that all we ever wanted was everything just to wonder what have we become, my sweetest friend, fearing that everyone we know goes away in the end. Even a US band could have touched us in our fragile youthful states, a state where we couldn�t decide if the Smashing Pumpkins were cool or not, but with the lights off and the door closed hearing Billy singing like a hand on a chalkboard, words we thought or emotions we felt. We were running to tell someone, but then we didn�t have anyone to go except parents who spoke of his voice as too annoying to bother to interpret what he was saying. But, before we even sent one dollar American for lyrics, we knew he was singing it to us� calling us hipsters and uniting for the big fight to rock for us. We were hipsters, more than we knew. We are the hipster generation. Or we thought� and just as our affirmations felt clear and settled we were told an album later that he too feared he was ordinary and the sadness of a death rock boy, who like us was mascara sure and lipstick lost. We retreated once more. Skinny boys, boys who wished they possessed the same frame as Brett, Bernard and Jarvis. Who daydreamed they had the passion and frightening allure of Dave Gahan. But, all they were were less accomplished Trents, with their self loathing and hurting themselves just to see if they could still feel. Taking too much time in showers just to lip sync, shouting out with no voice to slow down, cos we were taking them over. Walking with a bravado of ultra cool. Wearing skinny sunglasses indoors, trying as hard as it was not to become too emotional in any way. Growing their limp hair just to toss it back as though we would swoon as ask to be their girls, not that they would know what to do with us once they had us. Thinking and having convinced themselves that if they acted aloof or disinterested we would do anything to find out the mystery. We have to admit some of us did fall into the trap of a boy trying to be uber cool. Thinking it was the closest we would get to Thom, Jonny, Ed (oh Ed), Colin or even Phil, just to be disappointed in finding that he was mortal and didn�t really have a mystery. Feeling a let down that he wanted to know about us, that he did care, that he did want to love. Disappointment, since what we craved was the non-committal almost loathing disregard we were used to with our fantasy lover who either thought they would never marry, or just didn�t feel that we had earned it yet baby. Girls who wanted to be the girls of Lush, with a darkness that appealed to even us, with their tiny voices that sang so loud. Wanting to possess their strength of how they could tell a boy that they werent offended with things that he said cos it was just too fine a day. Their faces hidden in shadows made us reach conclusions that they could be nothing but perfection. But, after all our primping and after going through all the black clothes ever made, we seemed to be bargain basement versions of Elasticas numerous bass players, who like us had come and gone. We, boy and girl alike, sat in smoky rooms, not only inhaling the toxic air of spilt beer and clove cigarrettes but also the pulsating music. It ran in our veins, and we often thought if we ran out of blood they could just run an ivy to our cd players right to our heart and we could go on living in our asphalt worlds, dancing around like europe was our playground, going to marvelous parties, stepping out of our cages and on to stages, and having a lust for life like never before. ===== "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." ~Plato "Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction." -Antoine de Saint-Exupery __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Kissing Nick Valensi and other everydaythings.
by Astrid Wiezell 05 Mar '02

05 Mar '02

Ah YES, the concert last nite was absolute fucking brilliant! I am of ocurse talking about the strokes´ gig in Stockholm, oh man! I was at the front and in the middle, so the pressure was quite hard but what the fuck, it´s the strokes, i love the strokes! they did a perfect performance throughout, wow, it was the tightest band i´ve ever seen! they played so well, it sounded really good but still they maintained that live and raw feeling so that no one would say "oh, right, it sounded like the record". Stereo Total was the support act, they were really sweet! After playing a ramones bootleg to the anticipating crowd, Cyndi Lauper´s "Girls just wanna have fun" started. It was so funny! We all started singing along and dancing, it is a great song for dancing .Then they came out. After the show, we were supposed to get backstagepasses, but it was all a big mess-up, and we didn´t get any. But we went to the back entrance instead, me & Amanda, and we stood there a while with some other people, maybe five or six of them. We were just going to get the bus when I hear a voice saying "Hold on guys, we´ll be down in a minute!" and the person saying it is Julian Casablancas, sticking his head out the window. we all waited a while, and then Albert Hammond Jr came out, signed our stuff, and me and Amanda posed on a photo with him. After that, I talked to a nice security guard, he was a bit scary, but when I saw that he was holding a packet of chocolate chip cookies i talked to him for a while. Then Fab Moretti, who we saw earlier came out and i got a kiss and a hug. Then we waited forever (at least it felt like that!) for Julian, who came out, and he was so nice! Amanda, who´s 13 is obsessed with him, and I really wanted him to be nice to her, becuase i knew how disappointed she would be elsehow, but he was almost the nicest! Heposed with us, and he gave Amanda a kiss and signed lots of stuff for her. She´s still in heaven, hehe. But then I turned around, and Nick stood there, and I, the cissy I am, said "OHMYGOD!" and he just smiled at me and said hello. I got a kiss and a hug and then one more kiss because "it was so nice", so yes, I am still in heaven. Nikolai was a real sweetie, but incredibly shy. I, by accident, told him that I have the biggest crush on him. The only thing I could think of was "I´d better not tell him, don´t tell him, DON´T TELL HIM!!" and what do I do? I tell him. It was really embarrassing but I got a kiss and a hug from him too. Ah yes. I´m sorry. I´m just writing this because I feel so happy and all that. Yesterday, the normal, everydayAstrid became StarfuckerAstrid, haha. Oh but anyway, shy girls never get to kiss beautiful boys. And yes, the strokes are very beautiful boys. Bless. I can´t wait til Belle & Sebastian now, it´s exactly 2 weeks left now. Eeek, eek, eek! Take care all of you, and sorry of this, even more than usual, totally egocentric post..

Sinister: Yelling at Stuart when the Asian Girl passed out
by Oscar Vivanco 05 Mar '02

05 Mar '02

So there I am. At my second B&S show in a row at the Warfield in San Francisco, when this tiny Asian girl just ups and passes out. People scatter and the band stops playing. Stuart edges up the crowd. "What's happened to her?" The band is at attention. She's passed out is the general consensus. Security carries her off and I yell out, "You made her pass out with that purty voice of yours." He looks at me and nods his head. Silly Americans he must have been thinking. Those two nights they did a Smiths cover, the leader of the pack song, Sly and the Family Stone. At that point there I decided on my new favorite band. It had been Morrissey. Forever it was Morrissey, no question. But B&S did it for me that night. And now I contemplate lyrics being tattooed on me. "We know you are soft cause we've all seen you dancing We know you are hard cause we all saw you drinking from noon Until noon again" Not really, but its obsession. I even sent away for a tea towel. I live in America, where I've never even heard of a tea towel, but I have a B@S tea towel, and a mug and a mousepad and three shirts and all the posters and the postcards and everything on vinyl and everything on CD. And I'm the boy with the filthy laugh who's flying to Los Angeles and paid $143 for a two day festival to see B&S play for an hour or two. $100 for the plane, $75 for a rental, $100 for a hotel, $8 a bottle for water and you have the happiest boy for just under $500 for a two day weekend, not to mention that I only work on the weekends so blaggh. So I will confess to you this is my first post ever and I don't know how much longer I can hold no one's attention.

Sinister: With a diet of old white bread, some coffee cake, maybe an onion...
by Robert Brennan 05 Mar '02

05 Mar '02

Hiya Good things have happened lately. For one thing, my ticket for the Brixton soiree arrived. Yay! Now I've just got to work out how to get there and back in between two work days. Yuk. I got a crush vote too! An all-too-rare occurrence in the World of Robster. It's very flattering and all (and surprising considering I spent last week just ranting about Tripod) but I'd prefer if y'all just emailed me a hello if you thought a post was particularly good. Or if it's got nothing to do with a post and you just think I've got a cute ass... I'm going snowboarding in a couple of weeks as well! (Yes, Robyn. I have wristguards.) Dirty Vicar said: 'I'm in love with Claudia Gonson' Aw! You too? Is it healthy to fall in love with the sound of someone's voice? DV also mentioned: 'Fritz Lang's "Metropolis"'. Apparently Lang's original cut was about 3 hours long which may have been overdoing things a tad although I agree that the available versions have been cut together rather badly. Yer best (and shortest) bet is the Giorgio Moroder version - not sure about the colour tinting but the soundtrack - including Queen, Pat Benetar and Loverboy - is fantastic.
