Sinister: the problem with kids today is that they're always thinking 'bout getting laid
by Feather Boa 10 Apr '02

hey hey sinisters, how is everyone today? i am fantastic - wait, that came out all wrong :) it's been a very exciting past week-ish. mostly of course last wednesday, when first of all we had a picnic (sorry to everyone if we were being a bit insular - but we hadn't seen each other in *ages*) , then we all came back to my house and the boy Asm (currently skiing for the first time since he fell down a mountain last year) played fox in the snow on our crappy little piano. and got a bit stressed about whether we were going to be late and not get a good position. fortunately we did, right in front of stevie. so that was pretty cool. there was a gig. it was nice i liked it. then as has been mentioned Sam went back stage *rah*. i meanwhile bought the new careless talk costs lives (i like it), and a jet tours mug, and a pack of postcards. then Jo, and Migmk and mr Stuart H all came along and stayed at mine. the next day we shopped 'til we all but dropped, and made our way to the albert memorial to watch the footy. i made Stuart H give a running commentary as we watched, which was most entertaining, as fairly often people's names were replaced with "blue t-shirt", "charlatans t-shirt" and even "red shoes". it was funny to me. i had a cider ice lolly. my camera broke *curses*, but at least it was only a boots disposable one. as for simon price slagging b&s fans off, let me remind you that this guy is an overweight manics fan who wears his hair in two *horns* for heaven's sake. a man who gave nicky wire's brother's play an amazing review (this was a play that even i nearly walked out of and i'm a manics fan *and* one of my friends was in it) because he's such a groupie. and there are rumours i can't tell you about him and manics fans who haven't reached their 16th birthdays (they involve cream cakes). there's been a lot of shit going down here, but i can't tell you all, because.... i'm in the mafia. well, not really... but next time you middle of nowhere type folks start complaining about how you've never met anyone off the list, just remember that it's more difficult moaning on at 1595 people you don't know and 5 people you do, than 1600 people you don't know. pip pip, FB (or feather tara as Archel called me, i like that muchly) X _________________________________________________________________ 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: looking for tickets...

Not that any of us have disposable incomes (or else we'd all be on an Enya list somewhere and out of touch....) but I noticed a bunch of tickets for sale on ebay. Its good to know that if you really want to score a B&S ticket you can, but dear God, why such inflation! Some of the prices are up to $300 for a pair. -marisa p.s. no offense to any Enya fans. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: NYC gig-goers?
by Mark Casarotto 10 Apr '02

10 Apr '02

Okay, here I go again. A PLEA: Does anyone have a spare standing ticket for B&S's 2nd night at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York that they could sell me? I managed to track one down for the May 5th show (big props and favours to my sterling Sinister saviour Sarah), but I'm getting a bit worried about flying 3,000 miles and having to miss muh favourite band! (did that sound suitably pathetic?) Anyway, so, if you do have a spare and could help me out, I'd be incredibly grateful - email me off list and make my day :-) I *know* this is a bit spammy, but I promise that within 24 hours I'll have written a post worth reading* Mark xxx *on a completely different mailing list, probably - what can you do? huh? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: fancy a sunbath ?

Hello kids: Even tough we suspected it for months, the Benicassim festival press conference was held yesterday, and announced that B&S are playing there again. This time on the FOOOCKIN BIG STAGE. Rest of the line-up features The Cure (oooohhh), Suede, Radiohead, Chemical Brothers, Paul Weller.....the usual crap. Remember: august 2/3/4. Sun. Beach.

Sinister: Careless Tour Costs Lights
by Peter Miller 10 Apr '02

10 Apr '02

Thanks for all the Reporting Back. Nice to see that B&S are still playing too quietly. This practice has been defending in the past because, "for fuck's sake, there are people playing triangles, for fuck's sake!" I was hoping that this time round they'd have replaced the triangles with a huge gong, like my favourite group, Led Zeppelin. But nothing could have prepared me for their replacement by an entire steel band. Or perhaps it was an attempt to please community elders in Brixton. I've been listening to the 1997 B&S performance in Barcelona. It certainly brings back some great memories. In fact the memories are better than I remember it. There's a looseness, innocence and joie de vivre which has all but been extinguished in recent releases. It's certainly revived my interest. So thanks, Big Bootlegger. The artwork for TORI SPELLING reminds me of Strawberry Switchblade, which reminds me of Young and Foolish, which reminds me of The Duke, which reminds me of Life Without Buildings, which reminds me that WE ARE DOOMED TO SPEND ETERNITY TOGETHER even if we unsubscribe. No wonder nobody wants to play for ILM. I am looking forward to Neil punching that chap's lights out. I'm surprised anyone even dares to go backstage. I suppose you've all discussed the new Monica Queen LP and Looper's appearance on the Vanilla Sky soundtrack to death, so I won't say anything. Here endeth the most artistically valid comeback since Echo and the Bunnymen got Liam Gallagher to do backing vocals.

Sinister: well
by Ian Watson 10 Apr '02

10 Apr '02

Hi Kieran, I enjoyed reading the first few hundred words of your post but then got bogged down by all the words being so packed together. Sorry to be a pain, but any chance of paragraphs? I've been wanting to ask everyone this for ages. Snr Chu writes in paras and looks how popular he is. It's because everyone makes it to the end of his posts. Anyway, but just back from seeing The Vines at Dingwalls and they were spectacular. Really really really really really really really really really amazing. "Country Yard" was one of those moments when you just feel envigorated by music, like there's extra oxygen being pumped into your bloodstream with every chord change. I couldn't yell and clap enough when it ended. For those who've only heard the Supergrass-ish single, the other stuff is much much better: Big Star, Brian Wilson, Nirvana, Plush, etc, etc. They're playing tomorrow at ULU and I'm hoping against hope (always a bad bet, but never mind) that I can get a ticket. Can't wait for Glastonbury. Rod Stewart's meant to playing...

Not that I have them or anything. beyond that I have been enjoying Ken Chu's posts lately. Bless him. And I'm excited at seeing B&S at Glarsters, although I'm not so sure how an audience of non-B&S fans will take to them. There had better be none of their low volume pranks or the Hawkwind fans will give them the motorbike treatment. I was interested by that B&S interview in the Standard that wor David posted, though I think it was churlish of Styrannn to admit that IWUTU is full of gibes about Isobel. Actually, it's really churlish in general to issue public gibes about your exes, and it invites the comment "well if they were so awful why did you go out with them?" Talking of exes, I saw that Royal Tennenbaums film, and yes, Gwynneth Paltrow does indeed look like a skeletal Isobel. I found the film slightly disappointing, but then I am jaded with life. Finally, it's all go for ATP. I think we should have one big monster hobby meetup - you know, Sinister, I-Love-Everything, & the Bowlie boards all together as one. And then we could have a huge ruck and kick those twunts on their heads. ARRRR. Fighting is much better than football.
