days of sunshine will gather us all under an umbrella of glowing individuals put your love in your hope and wrap it up till we do meet surely yes we will meet in the warmth of our thoughts schedules are demanding of us now more than we our of ourselves but summer shall arrive with great exuberance oh yes i assure you oh yes green grass and bare feet bright eyes and forever-yearning laughter will entangle us in our crossing paths one day the stars won't let us down they told me themselves as they said g'day to all us morning people and disappeared only to return for the remainder of our dreams to come to watch over us before the next day arrives only to bring us closer to soulful joy that is only delayed a short while only a short while only a short while here's a wink for luck here's a grin for promise here's a poem for friends SINISTER RAWKS. ---bron ***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.

Sinister: 1978 flashback, painting, album covers, girlfriends, old ears new music
by idleberry 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

I was reading about what robin wrote. I have to agree. The storytelling thing does: look like a cross between IYFS and FISHYFLAP; and it is Torytelling. Tell the tories what? to vote socialist? Its a shame, I'm sure it wasn't intended to look like that. And whoever had to design it, and then whoever approved it, mustn't have considered it, not like robin does, or me either. It mustn't have caught their eye like that. And now, and forever more, there will be a stock of records in HMV, and Virgin, and Fopp and Echo, and Missing and Avalanche and Our Price, with "Torytelling" written on it. I don't know how I feel about that. I'll buy it, but only so I can put it in sideways to my CD rack (CDs or vinyl- I dunno which to choose) and it won't show. unless they've done something similar on the side of it. My brother has got his first girlfriend, at 20. They've been seeing each other for a few months, but, he won't tell her he loves her becuase he wants to mean it. I told him to say it anyway. Never did me any harm. I've said I love you to countless chocolate bars, and not really meant it. Only to the Norwegian ones did I really mean it. Anyay, there is as always a point to my little ramblings. He was supposed to bring her over today, to meet us. Shes 16, and hes a very serious young man, my brother. He cleaned the house from top to bottom (oddly missing my room... I dunno, he could have been gracious enough to tidy it for me) and went out to whereever it is she lives, all spruced up like a spruced up spruce. And thn he called, and apparently shes not feeling well, and he doesn't think its fair to put her through the long journey from Glasgow to Livingston (poor ickle lamb). I bet shes faking it. Shes chickened out of meeting us. She could have popped an aspirin or something. If shes really ill, she could have called this morning and told him not to go over. What a chicken. And I had my pokemon cards all ready to do swopsies with her. My old boss was asking me and my pal at work (when I worked there) for some records to listen to, what the youth of today are into. So my pal gave him some records, heres some of the thoughts of a boss listening to it all for the first time. My pal sent me this by e mail to read, I thought you might like to see too. ********************************************** Hour of the bewilderbeast - Badly drawn boy - Dead brill this, though a trifle self indulgent at time - nice to hear a band that can play a range of music well rather than the same. Biggest bluest Hi-Fi - Camera Obscura - liked this nice and soft, pretty lyrics, she's got a bonny voice - what's wrong with melodies - anyway good easy listening with the occasional bit of bite, Lazy Sunday music. 3-6-9 secs of light B& S - I must be getting mushy in my old age but I like this semi acoustic mellow stuff - recommend me a CD please. Quiet is the new loud- kings of convenience. Liked this very mellow, clever lyrics and music was subtle at times very lovely. Dinner party music where the guests are mellow rather than putting the world to rights as well as general listening Peleton - the delgados - excellent really liked this. Your new favourite band - the hives - good old fashioned punk liked this although I think I may be getting past all this leaping about with diffused angry phase - though some of it's better then the original stuff that was about in the 70's. ************************** There was a whole load of other stuff too, but this is a sample. I saw a shooting star on Monday night, I made a wish but Stuart didn't come. Hmm. :-/ I've also come into a wee bit of money, after various sexual favours performed for gentleman callers. So i decided I'm going to put it into an ISA, then buy a wee car, and be the first prostitute who does house calls. only joking, I'm not a prostitute. I painted my bedroom the other day,a lovely shade of lilac. its really nice, all crisp and clean edges. I shoved all my rubbish under my bed Unfortunately, theres more rubbish than bedspace, so some of it pushes the matress up a bit. I fiure a copule of nights of hardcore sleeping should sort out that problem, and flatten it all nicely. I only put it there, becuase when by the time the paint dried and I could move all my furniture back, it was late, and I was tired and sweaty. it was fun painting. I wore an old t shirt and a sports bra, and a pair of too tight-ripped jeans, which are so old, they weren't even flared (i've been wearing flares since 1997) and the zip kept falling down on them. It was fun, I was a cross between Karate kid and Laurence Lewellyn Bowen. I had a sore wrist on Monday becuase f it.(honest, it *was* from painting). I got given this copy of Melody Maker from 1978, from the week of my birth, last summer. I was having a look through. I'm shocked to see ummer nights by grease was at number one when i popped out into the world. Seriously, if I give birth I'm keeping my legs crossed til something decent is in the charts at the time. I thought I'd tell you about the Meoldy Maker in 1978, for those of you, like me, who didn't know it then. it cost 15p, (75 cents in the US) and on the cover of this one, theres an article about Paul McCartney, the Clash, and Clapton doing a tour and an LP. Paralell Lines by Blondie cost you �3.49. On the front cover there was a promise of an article, which reads "'A LITTLE BIT KITSCH...BUT ICE COLD' It was America in the Fifties and Britain in the Sixties- could Germany be taking control of popular music as the Seventies draw to a close? Christopher Petit takes the Trans-Europe Express into the heart of the man machine... (p39)" The letters age was a giggle. "I am growing increasingly weary of tales of rock extravagance. Not so much the ludicrous promotional excesses of the companies, although I would be very interested to know how much the advertising budgets add to the cost of records I buy (incluing the less commercial records which the companies promote badly in order to concerntrate on the obvious platinum sellers); capitalism in action has never been a pleassant spectacle, and I expect the worst. N, what annoys me more are the antics of th musicians, who find themselvessuddenly wealthy and seem unable to think of anything to do with their money except waste it. Ine of the mot depressing quotes of recent months came from The Clash, who had apprently been busy emulating the boring old farts and smashing up hotel rooms, thinking that the record companies paid for the damage. Lets spell it out for them, shall we ? if CBS had paid, they would have taken the money from the fans in higher ticket prices" and so on and so forth. I thought in the 70's, everyone was a punk, who didn't bother too much about keeping hotel bedrooms neat and tidy? the chappie went onto write further "the fans do have a right to expect that the money which they give to musicians is used to ensure that the fans get as good a deal as possible in the price and quality of concerts and albums". anyway, I thought I'd leave you with those cheery glimpses into life before 1979. ;) Love, gropes idles xx ===== http://groups.yahoo.com/group/corduroysmoke/ starting playground gossip and passing notes __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: oh miss breams, oh miss breams, can't you see...
by John John 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

Dear sinister You know how some people have plans for the future, to settle down or have fun, or think of anything they might want to do in the future, by themselves or on their own, or hold back everything until things are grate & then do what they wanted to do? I had something like that. It was once upon a time, but not too long ago, I found myself in the situation of really being quite charmed by a female. She had been trying to lure me for some time although she should not really had done, and then I was sort of compelled to rush into something that I might have regretted doing or even thinking of. Before I even got a chance to tell myself no, I fell under my own conviction that the time and the person had come, and I gave her nose a kiss. It was a good nosekiss too, and I was absolutely beaming inside and out, but when I went to bed that evening I started to regret giving it away so soon. I had always vowed to keep it for someone who would appreciate it and who would ultimately be my companion for maybe ever. Maybe there was a bit of a shortlist of people who could receive one, but I would not have given them my first one because my first meant the world to me, but now its gone Once upon another time, Dimitra Daisy kissed my nose, and I might have gone red, but I know I certainly smiled. I told her what they mean to me, and I wanted very much to return the gesture, but I couldnt as I was saving the first one. But then we had a picnic next to a river in a strange city and I was able to give her what she and a lot of boys and girls deserve. Maybe I still have a hidden nosekiss that would be unique to the girl I fall in love with and marry. Either that or Ill have to give her a shag. johnjohn x _________________________________________________________________ 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: Fuck this cuntfaced arsehole dickhead shit (p.s. twat)
by Kenneth P Y Chu 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

Last night, in anticipation of tonight's exciting B&S gig and the coming of a new album, I found myself reading the song titles of this forthcoming (which is a lie because it is the fifthcoming) LP once again, and couldn't help thinking. With song titles such as "Fuck This Shit", containing a staggering 66.6% swearwords to normal words ratio, will the CD cover get to sport one of those "Parental Guardience - EXPLICIT CONTENTS" stickers? Featured only on all things cool such as the computer game Grand Theft Auto? And Limp Bizkit records? I fucking hope so. It's about time we get some street cred. with our record purchases. Later on that night it was getting late and my thoughts had took on a more abstract twist, the only question remained in my head was "Just who am I?" Yes, the oldest question known to mankind, except for maybe "How old exactly was the queen mum?". I remembered some Greek man once had almost found the answer to the first question, but stopped short at the post, he got as far as "I think, therefore I am....er .." before his brain juice ran out. I was determined to find out, so I turned to the Internet for the answer. I asked Jeeves, but he wasn't much help. Unless I really am the mythical hottt Russian slut "Iwanna Ukumski", which would have been nice but I didn't think my blossoms were really quite that protuberant. Thankfully, later on I stumbled upon an Internet mailing list called Sinister, and I was enlightened to find that: - Someone had been dreaming about my name - Two people *heart* me - Dolores O'Riordan was seperated from me at birth - I was in Bed with Isobel Campbell - I have the horns when I go bowling. All good, I guess, and after a bit more thinking later on still I figured out also that: - I am going to see B&S tonight! .. and I was quite happy. There had been a lot of Reportings Back on the list lately too, from London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Manchester, dating way back from New Years Eve up to merely yesterday. And only the one April fools joke that I could spot, brilliant. One more bit.. caitlin pigtails said: >>Also in the news lately -- and seriously, I'm not making this up -- the current issue of Cat World magazine describes Tompaulin as a "rock band". I burst out laughing in the middle of the bookstore. << Haha I had to laugh too.. Cat World Magazine! Anyway the last time I heard them live, at times, I was certain they were a Hard House kind of band, what with their distortion guitars playing the crunchy riffs. Wankers Pricks and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: Now that ALL of the B&S Treasure Hunt trophies have been found, I wonder if the answers to the Treasure Hunt clues will be revealed any time soon. _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: get out your dumplings; she said whilst eating a chicken!!
by will haigh 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

hello there to everyone at sinister, i am trying as best as a can to report back from the apollo in manchester. The picnic consisted of 5 people sat outside a pub eating all of amy's dairylea. well no, there was a bit more to it than that... we met up at piccadilly just after 1 ish then proceeded into chorlton. we found a nice pub called the horse and jockey, and sat on the green on the front of it. the sinister gang was, nafees, amy, fiona and a bloke called anthony who came to join us... and of course myself. a few rather amusing sequences of events happened hereafter. for some reason, amy thought that we could be feeding several orphanages, as she brought more food than we could eat. amongst this food included: 1 french stick, 1 LARGE pot of dairylea, 1 LARGE bag of grapes, and 1 whole chicken!!! it might not seem like that much, but this chicken was HUGE! after munching through this feast we made our way to the dry bar in manchester. Here we met up with BIG stu, and according to amy, hes got a lot to fill!? also we met the ever so violent kay, shes lovely really...just dont go near her head or mention her ex-boyfriend, its not a pretty sight. so after being violently abused by kay, we went to the apollo. on the bus we met a very strange woman, and as the phrase 'she said, eating a chicken' was being used a fair bit, she started telling us a very good recipe for chicken soup, she said, and i qoute ' you wanna get yer chicken in a pan and then add yer carrots, then get yer flour and dumplings out....mmmmmmmmm'it was ratherv amusing, we also saw a jesus look a like on the bus that was actually a vibrator in disguise (as everytime it braked, we got a deafening noise and really strong vibrations through our seats! we missed the support band, but we were'nt really that fussed. and kay fought a way through the crowds to get us pretty darn close to the front. i did try to get a setlist for you, but unfortunatly, was unable. but i can remember some songs that were played. seeing other people me and the major im waking up to us the boy with the arab strap legal man (mixed with i am the resurection) we rule the school dirty dream number two is it wicked not to care string bean jean sleep the clock around like dylan in the movies suspicious minds (elvis) i cant really remember anymore... but it was a brilliant night, and my first B&S gig, so i was well impressed. so thanks to fiona for organising the picnic, it was fun. thanks to nafees amy kay anthony matt big stu for all making it such a good night. im looking forward to the next one!!! will xxxx _________________________________________________________________ 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: And Lo! Robin was smote from the heavens!
by robin stout 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

Last night I was struck by lightning*. Well, my house was anyway. I was watching A History of Striptease on Channel Four when there was a huge roar, bigger than an elephant's sneeze. The telly went black and blue sparks began to leap from the socket. At first I thought I was being smote by God for thinking lustful thoughts, but as I've never been smote before I must have been confused and it turned out just to be a bit of bad weather. My dad told me to go outside with a torch and make sure the chimney was still on. My dad's a bit paranoid about things like that. When there were thunderstorms at home he always used to get us to sit in the nook under the stairs. Well, he'd say, one day you'll be grateful. I just felt a bit stupid. Now, onto some PROPER content... Belle and Sebastian have a new album out! here's a picture of it... http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/B00005OM56.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg At first it reminded me of Sinister, then I realised that was just because it was red. Then it reminded me of Fold Your Hands..., then I realised that was just because of the two girls on the cover. I think I must be a bit simple. It looks like the one on the right is doing a bit of needlework. Maybe shes making another hat. It's a unlucky how at first glance it looks like its called Torytelling, isn't it? There was an article about some Scottish tosspots in The Times, too http://www.thetimes.co.uk/printFriendly/0,,1-47-250645,00.html Ooh! The kettle's just boiled! Bye! Robin * "lightning" not "lightening", as i first spelt it. Apparently "lightening" is: "the sensation experienced by many women late in pregnancy, when the head of the foetus enters the pelvis, of a reduction of pressure on the diaphragm." Thankfully I wasn't hit by lightening. I'd have been a little worried if I was. _________________________________________________________________ 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: don't waste your words, i don't need anything from you
by ETypeJoe＠aol.com 03 Apr '02

from months of sini-lurking to a couple of glorious hours (well alright about an hour and forty if you're going to be so pedantic about it) lurking at the left hand side of the manchester apollo. what another glorious gig then! (you'll note that this post is just sooooooo full of content, content, content, just to exhaust my content quota so i can lurk until, oooh, at least 2003). unfortunately this post will not be quite as long as advertised in my head - you can blame the lovely arriva buses for, well, just not being arsed to send the last bus to turn up at stretford arndale - its a long story that i won't bore you with, suffice to say travel plans were somewhat complicated by a local train strike, but i cannot scold the working man or woman for exercising the right to strike, particularly in the town where some blokes called marx and engels wrote some pamphlet or other. i think the only trains that were running seemed to be heading to york, so some on sinister should have been okay, eh gina? regardless, it should not take as long to get from one side of manchester to the other as it does for a popular scottish beat combo to bring joy into our hearts. for those of you who don't know the manchester apollo is a very grand venue - its the carpet that sticks to your feet that does it for me. its not exactly the most intimate of venues, but long gone are the days when you can see struan's pupils even stood at the back. that sounds like a gripe - its not meant to. i can't be doing with people espousing elitist *oh i only go to see bands play in venues the size of phone boxes* type attitudes (isobel prolly wouldn't get her cello in in any case) - those of us lucky enough to see the band play should appreciate them whereever they are playing. i actually had a bizarre image halfway through the set of watching belle and sebastian play in ten years or so in some arena or other with my currently 6 year daughter megan, and being way at the back and having to watch on the screens. i don't think it would ever happen, but who knows? as long as they promised not to cover *the final countdown* or summat like that... anyway i digress - at least the apollo has *some* character unlike the soulless academy... i did intend to be really helpful and note the setlist. i even had the back of my bus timetable and my wee pencil i got free from a date with ikea ready - i got a song or two in, but it was a bit hard juggling a floppy plastic glass of overpriced lager so i gave up. hopefully someone far more talented can post it on here (or at least someone fleet of foot or hand enough to grab an actual setlist). anyhow, a lot of similarities with embra as far as i can recall - no *the state i'm in* or *llpj* sadly, but we did have *string bean jean* in common, and we got *me and the major*, *there's too much love* and *sleep the clock around* - we doubtless got other gems but my memory fades ever more quickly these days. tonight's mid-set cover was not as i had hoped *the queen is dead* (would that have been in poor taste?), but a wonderful *suspicious minds* - i think stevie has a great future career as an elvis impersonator - maybe stuart david just got a bit confused on *a century of elvis* after all, and... oh yeah i was telling you about the gig wasn't i? there was the obligatory *legal man* to end the set, but it metamorphosised (not a reference to the manchester treasure hunt i must add, for those of us who looked - when do we get all the answers by the way?) into *i am the resurrection*, which was played a damn sight better than when i last saw the roses play it live - goddamn, it was in tune! i swear that struan played a bar or two of the bassline to *transmission* by joy division as it changed back, but that might just be me hearing things. anyhow, i've rambled for longer than i thought i would and i have to find an phone number for arriva so that oo can rant at them tomorrow - lucky them! yours from the outer suburbs of lurkerdom, jonny xx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Edinburgh Setlist
by David Moore 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

Hi All, Usher Hall, Edinburgh: Fuck This Shit (instrumental) (coyly referred to as F.T.S. on the setlist) Dirty Dream #2 The Magic Of A Kind Word The State I Am In Seeing Other People String Bean Jean Seymour Stein Wandering Alone Don't Leave The Light On Baby The Model Browm Eyed Girl (Van Morrison) Lazy Line Painter Jane The Boy With The Arab Strap You Made Me Forget My Dreams Is It Wicked Not To Care Judy And The Dream Of Horses I'm Waking Up To Us The Wrong Girl There's Too Much Love Legal Man Another Girl, Another Planet (The Only Ones) Some teaser known only as "Banchory" (who could that possibly be?) said they played Scooby Driver during the soundcheck. Grrr. Maybe tomorrow night? Great set - first time I have ever seen my all time favourite Belle And Sebastian song played live (I think), excellent choice of covers & only a couple of less well-liked (by me) songs. More later about around and at gig stuff I guess. Gotta go to bed now. But still time for a plug :) That nice Mr Ant Harding is playing a couple of gigs before he pops off to Sweden for a while: you can catch his beautiful performance at RoTa on Saturday 13.04.02 or at Track & Field on Saturday 20.04.02. New album now scheduled for 29.04.02 release, although I think you can buy it from http://www.fortuneandglory.co.uk/ now.

Sinister: Fw: music by belle and sebastian, visuals by slipknot
by Rachel Playforth 02 Apr '02

POW! TO THE PEOPLE or, I WAS SURPRISED I WAS INDIE FOR A DAY I arrived at the Monarch at about 5.30, having found Ken, Marianna and Greg loitering with intent at a service station. Once inside, I was momentarily blinded by the light glinting off the indie glasses of 200 or so troubled teenagers, but soon found myself in my favourite position of being in a confined space with a load of gorgeous sinisterines past and present, including Ben Apps, Mark C, Ally Cook, Sarahs x 2, Paul H, Stevie T and a host of other old skool siniboys and girls. SHE CAME FROM GREECE SHE HAD A THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE At some point a leather-clad vixen answering to the name of Kalliope arrived with her champagne-addled entourage of Ruvi, Paul and Nicholas, and everyone within reach had the breath affectionately squeezed out of their bodies. KENCHU FAN Bands were largely ignored in favour of alcohol (including illicit vodka and red bull from I can't imagine what source...) But Camera Obscura were delightful (especially a certain foxy yet modest keyboard player who we weren't trying to put off by making faces, honest.) Another modest soul was Ken Chu, who didn't let it go to his head when we discovered that someone - possibly involved with National Pop League? - has been hawking 'I Love Ken Chu' badges to impressionable young boys. (For the benefit of the ladies, Ken did look particularly ravishing in his new string bean jeans...) SWISH COTTAGE Some dodgy pizza, several drug dealers and one in depth conversation about S Club 7 later, we were bodily ejected from the building and various people struggled with their large instruments before Ken, Marianna, Sarah, Paul H and I followed Ben Apps to his palatial residence. Two bottles of wine later and we were in the middle of a full-blown (and revealing) karaoke session. About which I will only say: Ken Chu and Dolores O'Riordan - separated at birth. THE BOY WITH THE EQUITY CARD Another highlight of the small hours was witnessing a virtuoso appearance on REAL TV (well, Holby City) by Ben's brother, aka eligible bachelor of this parish, Will Haigh. Whom we hope is available for weddings, birthdays, bah mitzvahs etc? DIRTY DREAM #1 My final waking thoughts were confusedly filled with ecstatic murmurs from Ken and Marianna, who seemed to think they were in bed with Isobel Campbell and Stevie Jackson respectively (I think it was that way round - I was very sleepy.) A FAMILY'S LIKE A LOADED GUN Then after a slightly delirious #sinister session the next morning (in which I think Lindsey Baker picked me out of a blind date style line up but subsequently dumped me for Ken and his Karma Sutra), I went back to Streatham and played dysfunctional families for a while, discovering that my dad won't let my step-sister's boyfriend in the same room as him, and all of my 17000 step-cousins are still little shits. I made my slightly guilty escape just as my mentally ill uncle arrived unannounced, and wandered aimlessly round London with my friend Cat for the rest of the afternoon. I would have found this a lot less depressing if there had been any BLOODY PUBS OPEN. Still, I got to walk over the millennium bridge and witness the exciting 'Queen Mother still dead' bustle around Clarence House. Now I have a whole day of rest and recuperation before joining my fellow picnic mummies in entertaining a much happier sort of family, and THEN BRIXTON BECKONS!!!!!!! Carsmile Steve still has my ticket and is in France, but i'm sure it'll be fine...
