Sinister: Sexpectations
by toy stephen 24 Mar '02

24 Mar '02

One of my top mishearings was from Expectations, 'And the headset that you always wear, a queer one from the start' I imagined an awkwardly thin girl with those earphones on like Eskimo ear-muffs, dancing around to the Mamas and Papas, her head almost over-heavy from the headset, threatening to drag her head first into the pavement. anyway, this song's dedicated to Bron. The good doctor told her she needs Struan singing for her live and vegan pancakes from the Pick Me Up cafe on North Clark. ------- Sunday morning, it is beautiful, it's grey and there is rain Looking out into the fog, the melting faces on the train, Your clothes look ragged, your gaze happy, and I suspect You haven't slept, messy lipstick on your face Perhaps you're Astrid and you've been dancing with the Belles Your star so lovely, that your age they cannot tell Your obsessions get you known throughout Sinister for being strange Crushing Bobby, and whispering him 'Jag älskar dig.' In the queue of posts, some sour kids have got no appetite Forgetting what it's like to be young and to be tight So they leave the list, they scoff and snarl and go berserk Don't they know that Sinister is just a lovely place to flirt? Hey there's Ken Chu He writes posts, they're the Most Fulluv charm, my nose is brown Soon I'll have something to say When this refrain finally goes away Sunday morning, it is beautiful, it's grey and there is rain e.e. compiles brill haikus culled from our collective brain Spring has come, the tour has started, what can you expect Pre-show meetups, double whiskies and (I hope) hickies on our necks Tell us the setlist, Struan's dancing and Bel's Dylan dress We've got everything to gain 'cause we're easily impressed All the naughty boys and naughty girls that you have snogged We're secretly into S&M and we love getting flogged After the show we lock ourselves away inside a motel room Sing the songs we heard and drink ourselves silly until noon Stumble in our cardies back into the light They think we're twee, we've got to make the bastards think they're right Hey, the sky is blue Like the porn on the tube Are you calm? settle down Chicago's not all gangsters insane For one day Sinister will reign Is this cool? I don't know It's not Gwar or I Love My Car Listen to me here's the end >From a boy neath the smoker's railway arch You're on top of the world a-ghhhhhhhhen. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: horoscopes, easter eggs, jobs, treasure hunts, and auntybots
by idleberry 24 Mar '02

24 Mar '02

hello sinisterettes and sinisterians! A few weeks ago, Kate Keenan off the list pointed me in the direction of a cool site for horoscopes. It was odd, becuase so far, the predictions have been pretty spot on. But the cool thing is, that they have a banner for an ad for another site, and the banner ad is using b+s cover as part of its ad, for "flap your wings child, and cook like its pleasant". Yes, that little heard of other album, the rare one, that I've just made up, as a play on words of their 2000 album with the long winded title. the site with the accurate horoscope, is at http://www.freewillastrology.com/ if you're interested. I dunno if shes back and kicking with a new hip or something, but I noticed auntsadie has gone missing from #sinister. Has she run off with a handsome young man, or is she just down the bingo with the other auntybots? other news: I got a job! I'm starting work at the Scottish Executive (Executive for what? some of you may ask, or indeed, might not care, but its the scottish parliment stuff, if you're curious)as an administrator. it was quite od the interview. It was informal, and there were three people there, and there were three admin posts going, and I don't know quite which one they want me for. I'm pleased though, and start in a few weeks time, becuase its a proper job, with a proper salary, and all the benefit shennanigans that normal people with proper jobs are entitled to (sick pay! holiday pay! woo! don't knock it 'til you haven't had it!) Easter is upon us soon, but I'm not sure when it is, cos I'm never actually sure of things like that. But anyway, I think Belle And Sebastian Easter Eggs are only a merchandising plot away. Peel off the foil, and find Stuarts face engraved in chocolate. Of course, it couldn't be a hollow egg, that would suggest he has nowt up there. maybe it would be filled with magnetic poetry or something. Or money. That would be good. real money, not monopoly money. Chocolate coins would also be an acceptable currency, to turn us all into fat cats. So, what was the prize of the treasure hunt anyway? and what were the answers? Anyhows, I'm off to browse the web, and things. Hopethis e mail has been slightly informative, or at least mildly entertaining. Love, idles ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke and the world did get covered in a thick haze of corduroy smoke. And it felt good. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: i'd rather be thin than famous...
by angela _ 23 Mar '02

23 Mar '02

actually no that's not true...i have no desire to be thin. i just like quoting kerouac. anyway...i got my tickets to see b&s in atlanta, and its really consuming much too much of my thoughts... how to get there? i live in memphis tn, and my car is shite. where to stay? my ex boyfriend lives there but he's got him a girlfriend, who aint too kindly to former girlfriends stayin the night. so i was thinking much too much about it all today, when i decided it would be neat-o to go campin in the woods or something. the weather will be purfect. maybe even make it in to a picnic? yeah? sound good? any one else like this idea, or am i off in thinking this would work? i mean i hate hotels & they are very costly in atlanta & they usually smell funny and have some dead whore inside the mattress. i think i have the transportation idea fixed too...but i wont go in to all that. well if you guys want to camp wif me and 3 of my friends that i lovingly bought tickets for(aren't i a sweetie?) then let me know and we can work out the details and find a good place to park our arses after the show.

Black and white united They're tearing up the street I'm half in love with ev'ry girl I meet The gasman loves the street He loves to drill He loves to think about his girl The sun is melting half the street In the summer all the workers Head on for the sandy beach Stay together in all weather Entertainment for your (greed?) And ??? of prejudices travel on a train The upper class will have to pass The chance of ?? with the ??? Your record profits will buy you an island There's a jigsaw with a picture Of a country as a map Hikers hiking, cyclists cycling If I go I'm not coming back I'm all in love with all the girls I meet The boys I meet Kitchen porters ... summertime ... ? painters ... whisky (tourists?) In the rain all your plans will fail You'll be left with your jigsaw I hope the weather stays fine for Tigerminging, the picnic & football in London this weekend. Oops, nearly forgot to plug somebody nice.

Sinister: Partying with B&S...
by Astrid Wiezell 22 Mar '02

22 Mar '02

Tuesday, the Stockholm gig, was the greatest night of my life! They played my request (Time of the Season by the Zombies), Stuart started talking to me during the concert, he took my hand and said I was going to get to dance on stage, but it all fucked itself up with the evil, evil, guards. Later on, we waited by the tourbus. First Chris walked past. He said "HI!" and we all just said hi and turned around and started talking again. We didn´t recognize him! I was so ashamed later on! Then Sarah came out, she was incredibly shy but still very sweet. Then we talked to a merchandise guy, who said they were at the party in the restaurant, so we went inside. Ok, ok, we got in through the leaving door, but still, we got in! Me and Amanda are 15 (turning 16) and 13 (turning 14) so we wouldn´t get in elsehow. I´m not desperate, I promise. We get in there, and the first impression I get is "OH MAN! I´m so FUCKING scared!". Just a lot of cool grownup people. Uuuh. I saw Richard, and we started talking. He´s *so* nice! But his accent.. I could hardly understand it... hee hee. But he signed my setlist! Then we saw Mick and Bobby, so we started talking to them as well. I told Bobby, while he were signing my stuff, that I thought he looked gorgeous up there. At first, he said "Thank you". Then he realized what I said and blushed and said "OH THANK YOU!". Then I saw Stuart. I thought I was going to die. I went up to him and because of the loud music, you had to like shout in eachother´s ears. I think I mumbled something about him being my God or something. AH, embarrassing! But he just said after some talking "Look, I *have* to dance some more, but I´ll be back really soon, ok?". And then he came back, and we started talking. The weird thing is, I´ve been warshiping this man, for every single day, for two years now, I´ve been imagining his way of acting, his voice, just.. him you know. And it was all *EXACTLY* as I thought it would be! It was so strange! First he said that he recognized my face and asked me if I´d been to any other show, or just in Glasgow. And I said no, because I haven´t. Then I mumbled something (i have a tendency to do that when I´m nervous) about school, and he started laughing and said "How old are you?". I said that well, I´m 15 turning 16. He started laughing and said "I thought you were so much older!" and then he starts shouting "BEANS! BEANS!". No reaction. "HEY CHRIS!". Chris turns around. "How old do you think Astrid is?" and Chris got all shy, talking about women and their age. Stuart was a bit impatient and said "Well, like 21-22, right?" and Chris agreed and then he started laughing again saying I was 15. Hee hee hee. phototime came as well, oh yes. First with Chris, then with Bobby, who, er, started to.. er.. well.. do dirty moves on me. No, that sounded wrong, but he like rubbed himself towards me or something.. I was a bit.. hmmm.. shocked... by that not saying I didn´t appreciate it! He´s gorgeous, and believe me, it´s not everyday I got a beautiful man wanting to do that. Oh, no, it sounded wrong again, but you know what I mean. Amanda thought he was sleazy and couldn´t stop laughing. She still has problems with it. I love Bob. Who doesn´t? A photo with Mick as well, he is really nice, but he was a lot taller than I expected. Just as Stuart and I were about to let Amanda take that picture, he says "Oh right, we have to look serious now" and I make the largest GRIN possible, Amanda takes the picture and I die of shame. Then I took a picture of just him as well, with his little drink. Oh, how sweet! Just as we were about to leave, I saw Stevie! I took a picture with him and we talked a bit about guitars and stuff. He missed the tourbus later, so he had to take a cab. Hee hee hee. Sorry, but it looked really funny, he looked around, looking scared, and then waving after a cab and quickly getting in. Before that I got my setlist signed by him as well, and he started talking about HIS favourite band, the Rolling Stones. Man, it was the greatest night of my entire life. The greatest. Oh yes. I can´t say it enough. Since I got the setlist, I´ll send it out to you all, since someone wonderes, in my head I remember the three first songs: Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie Dirty Dream #2 The Magic Of A Kind Word The two first songs are my favourites with B&S, so, imagine my delight! Have to go now, sorry for being the egocentric bastard I am. Have patience with me people! Love, Astrid XXX P.S How old is Mr Kildea? I want to marry him. P.P.S Please don´t take me to seriously. P.P.P.S Wait. Maybe you should! P.P.P.P.S Fuck this, I´m pressing the send button now! _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!

Re: Sinister: "storytelling" album info ...
by robin stout 22 Mar '02

22 Mar '02

hey! this is really exciting! isn't it? everybody: YES! HOORAY! For those of you reading this on the revolutionary Amstrad email telephone, here's what's on the website... ====================================================================== Belle & Sebastian's new record "Storytelling" is to be released in the UK and Europe on June 3rd, and the USA on June 4th. As previously reported, the record is made up of songs written for the film of the same name. The track listing goes a little something like this: Fiction Freak Early Letterman Fuck this Shit Fiction (Night Walk) Jersey's Where America's At Black and White Unite Consuelo I Need to See This With an Audience Storytelling Jingle/Class Rank I Don't Want to Play Football I Don't Want to Play Football (Latin) Wandering Alone Mandingo Cliche Scooby Driver Fiction (Reprise) Big John Shaft ===================================================================== I like the sound of a Latin version of I Don't Want to Play Football and it's good to see that Big John Shaft makes an appearance too. The last time I saw HIM he was climbing down my drainpipe with feathers in his hair. I also like the sound of Fuck This Shit, an allusion to Chaucer no doubt. Thanks to everyone who emailed about that letter. I've taken out the bit about being hit by a teacher (although it was my favourite bit) because people seemed to think i might get arrested. Everyone should have a look at Miss Patrick Doyle's website. It's funny! Has anyone else noticed how, after our little telling off for sending long emails about nothing (or short emails about long emails about nothing) those emails seem to have doubled? Maybe Auntie Linda should use a little reverse psychology, like my mum does. Mum: "You can eat as much chocolate as you like!" Me: "Don't like chocolate anyway! I'm going to tidy my room!" Aaargh! Fooled again!

Sinister: i'd rather be fat than be confused
by Bron 22 Mar '02

22 Mar '02

beautiful ones, lately my pancake-making has gone downhill...by some bizarre method i've been able to make them both rubbery and crispy at the same time. what's a girl to do? it snowed yesterday, but a few days before that it rained. it rained so tenderly that the moss on the few tree trunks scattered about this campus turned all shades of lime and turquois. is it a sin to lust after nature? if it is i'm going straight to hell. i just burped on accident and cracked myself up. marikka mentioned TIJAMRS. does listening to that song make anyone else want to sprint across an open field into the arms of a lover? after my spring break i brought back my old trumpet and some books on zen. we'll see if they collect dust again. last night i went to my first american bar (having just recently turned 21) and i can't say i was too impressed. china bars' atmospheres are way more chill in my opinion. i felt like being a female and being thin made me like one of those "dummies in the window" for sloppy men who reeked of old cigarettes to stare at. speaking of being confused. yes. and no. i don't know. perhaps if i gained some weight i'd be less confused about my life and it's direction and why i'm even in college and why i even care about anything. and truly i don't think my family tree goes back to the romans. oh crazy shit here: i mentioned TIJAMRS. my best friend from high school was named emma. my best friend in college is named laura. you do the math. much love and peace and stars ---your mountain mama sweetheart X ***Sometimes you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right*** ---Jerry. 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.

it seems to be that i last wrote in august. i feel awful, almost as awful as when i forgot to write to my friend in mongolia to tell her that i had in fact graduated, visited europe, and found myself a job and a new home. well, the new job and new home are no longer new. i am posing as a workaholic (very strange word as it probably should be workic, which doesn't sound nearly as catchy), hiding from one potential suitor, and battling a mild not-so real crush on a kid at work. he garners the title of "the kid" simply because he is eight months younger and graduated from high school and college a year after me. and the potential suitor is ghastly, but i think he has finally realized that i do not want to talk to him. i don't know if i could ever really be attracted to someone who said, "i grew out of my belle and sebastian phase years ago." i am much more comfortable with people who have never experienced the band and even those who simply do not like them. but someone who has grown beyond them? why would he even want to spend time with someone who cannot escape their grip? i drive to work and then my failing tape deck will work and allow me to hear the voices of stuart and stevie. i love stevie. i've loved stevie since i first heard TIJAMRS: "stevie's full of good intentions." don't know why exactly, but preference can rarely be adequately described. and then, why doesn't the kid leave his girlfriend in santa barbara? of course, that would be weird. i am in some weird technical way his supervisor, which seems wrong. i might nearly be twenty-four, but i am not old enough for them to trust me with that much responsibility, not really. not when i want to live in southwestern france for a few months before i am thirty. but is it fair to call a mild attraction a crush? i have been debating this. am i attracted to him or to his qualities? does that qualify as a crush? it doesn't feel like other crushes, which worries me for a number of reasons. and is it possible to separate a person's qualities from the person? my situation is not helped by my friend, who is aware of the situation, will say on many occasions "i really like him," as if she is actually approving of my choice. if she only knew about the ones in the past, i even shake my head in dismay at those choices. i feel like a recovering addict. i feel like i left one long-term relationship and replaced it with another, and then got rid of the last one. i recently beat an obsession with belle and sebastian. i hit a point where of my ten cds at work, five of them bore the name belle and sebastian. during this point, i was seriously considering travelling to austin, texas just to see the band again, but then the kid i have the sort-of crush on convinced me that i should go to france. of course, he isn't going with me, he leaves this weekend and i leave in may. so, belle and sebastian was replaced with elliott smith. if i had more cds, i would probably go to low next, as if any of this is healthy for a girl who is sleep-deprived, trying to learn german in one class per week, and who has to go out in the rain tomorrow and saturday to drag this weird little box over the ground to see if there are any tanks in the ground. i would apologize for content issues, but i've been away, dealing with life, work, and trying to read books fast enough so that i don't get any library fines. one important question...what is the coachella festival like? second question...is it worth going to, or am i going to end up hating the people around me for not understanding why i love the band? marikka. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
