Sinister: My friend Krispin Kenyan
by MyMomSays＠aol.com 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

So, the faux Isobel was actually Melorra from *gasp*, Rasputina? My mind boggles! Isn't Rasputina sort of a GOTH-CHICK band? I remember liking them back in 1997 when I had dyed black hair and a "dark, dark soul." But, I am a foul, depressing Belle and Sebastian fan who doesn't deserve to live because I forgot they were playing on Conan last Friday. I clean forgot! I was bizzy drinking down the sloe gin fizzes and giggling over people who SHOULD have rubix cubes. I HAVE BEEN WRONG, A LOT See, ahead of time, before I started drinking sloe gin, I reckoned: "I bet this chap has a rubix cube." But I was wrong. And I was wrong again, later, yesterday, when I was 110% sure that Ally Cook was wearing mismatching socks. But then I found out that he's too dull to wear mismatching socks. I was wrong... AGAIN! THE CULT OF WOLFSHIRT Amy Applejacks, Michelle Mittens, and Krispin Kenyan and I are all tough WOLF SHIRT WEARERS. I bet you are jealous. Hey, shoot someone and you can join the club. I bet Robert Jack Goofstrum could be a WOLFSHIRT GIRL if he were a girl, but he's just plain ol' RJG stuck in Beano! THERE ARE SOME BELLE AND SEBASTIAN SHOWS COMIN' UP AND SHIT: Tooooooo true! Okay, here's a sad story.... but I nicked this one from Alex Wolf, who is not a Wolfshirt wearer, but he's funny anyway: SO THESE TWO GUYS ARE TALKING, AND ONE GUY ASKS THE OTHER: "HEY, YOU WANT SOME GUM?" AND THE GUY SAYS, "NO." AND THE OTHER GUY ASKS "WHY NOT?" AND THE GUY RESPONDS: "I DON'T KNOW." WAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Witness this, and other funny hijinx, soon.

Sinister: Coachella
by Michael Vance 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

Hello, My girl and my friend managed to mosey out of the Sony PS2 truck (where they had the game I worked on, Spider-Man, showing, how exciting) and over to the stage just in time for the beginning of the show (it was a day like that, same with the Strokes, and we even found some tasty vegan food). I won't pretend to present an authoritative description of what happened, but here are some things I remember - Struan coming out with his football - Songs I remember: Sleep the Clock Around, String Bean Jean, Legal Man, There's Too Much Love In The World, Dog On Wheels, Boy With The Arab Strap, a flamenco number from Storytelling, and a bunch of others I know the lyrics to, but remarkably, not the name... (no Seymour Stein, poor me) (send bootlegs of Seymour Stein if you love me) - Struan remarking that they had never played outdoors before, and he wondered why the fuck not given how nice it was yesterday - Stevie making fun of Foo Fighters (who were on the main stage) -- "fine band, really" - Struan changing the last few lines of Boy With The Arab Strap to address the wafting of Foo Fighters sound across the pitch over to the stage they were on - Struan kicking his ball out into the crowd, and the crowd dutifully giving it back - Bobby and Sarah leading the crowd in clapping for the Flamenco number - Struan demanding someone dance with one of the violinists who was standing up by herself during a song I can't remember the name of - The crowd asking where Isobel is, and Struan saying she couldn't make it, but she'd be at the Philly gig, and then some sundry chatter about "Philly survivors" which sounded like an in-joke that I didn't get - The Beach Boys number, requested by the drummer, actually, and Stevie lamenting that it was some of their finest singing and he was sure to make a mess of it (it was fine) No encores at festivals, it seems, which is a pity, and I wish people wouldn't casually smoke pot in the audience, it's rather rude. Oh, and I looked for some of the Sinister people I know, but didn't see any. Ah well. Otherwise, a fine day, not too crowded at the festival, the weather was lovely, and while expensive, food and water weren't ridiculously priced.

Hey folks, I don't know if any of you frequent the jeepster boards, but here's the latest on NYC gig-related action: http://www.buro9.com/forum/showthread.php?s=5afc5ab5529561413f601d5fd9fb2d4… Details are sketchy.

Sinister: that's what they expect
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

monday morning/wake up knowing that you've got to go to work... ... and that you will find 8 billion sinister emails, some lovely, but that you will not remember anything of them apart from idelberry's mention of wind farms. now i *know* these are farms DRIVEN by wind, and yet i still drifted off into an image of a farm which produces wind. like a sheep farm, or a fish farm. it could be good if you could just farm wind, grow it like corn and distribute it around the earth to do its work (carrying seeds and whatnot?). except that today it's really excessively windy. stop the production line. um. so, i was feeling a bit restless yesterday, and on leaving the house, felt a strange force pulling me to a part of town i'd never been to before. after a while i realised that my feet had taken me to ian's house. i knew it was his because of the empty wine bottles, mutilated shop dummies, broken crucifixes and pages torn from pornographic french novels littering the overgrown front garden. i stood there irresolutely for a while, listening to the dry coughing and occasional incoherent shouts which interrupted the strains of the magnetic fields drifting from an upstairs window. i was suddenly overcome with the need to stop this kind of behaviour. i knew that he was in there, drunken delusions of grandeur filling his otherwise empty head. words spilling out of his mouth, not always his own. so, i left a note. maybe it was a challenge, maybe it was a threat, maybe it was just a friendly warning. i went home and worked on some poetry. i didn't make the final grade when it came to those awards, but at least i knew i was better than ian. luv archel xxx ps. the 5th may brighton picnic has been postponed, hopefully to be replaced by another london-based event. brighton will probably be hosting the sinister drinking olympics on 25th may instead. will keep you posted... ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: sunday night phone call.
by Brandt Fundak 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

Hi all. I had an interesting thing happen to me last night. I was sitting at home around 9:30 pm eastern time when i get a phone call from california. it's my friend Andy, informing me that he is in Indio, CA at the Coachella festival. the first words out of my mouth: "Did you see Belle and Sebastian?" andy told me they wouldn't take the stage for the next 15 minutes. He had called to ask if he needed to get me any t-shirts. I told him no, as i was going to be seeing them in the coming days. then he said "I'll call you back when they come on." and so, thanks to my lovely friend, i heard, no matter how raw over a cell phone "Sleep the Clock Around" and "Legal Man" the two times my friend called me from the festival. i thought it was a very wonderful thing to do. i just thought i'd share the sort of sunshine belle and sebastian brings into our lives on an unexpected basis... brandt ps. andy told me that they covered the beach boys last night...anyone know which song? ===== "Selma, Jub Jub is fantastic!

Sinister: preserve my dignity and skip this, oh if you must... read it
by fiona 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

sinister, forgive me if i've missed any breaking news because i haven't quite completed the open - scroll - delete pattern all the way to the top of the pile of posts, those pesky lists took more scrolling than i'd expected. but i'm posting now so that i might have some hope of getting home in time to watch 'as told by ginger.' so i am mainly posting because i had the piss taken over the weekend that the first thing i would do on monday would be to run to sinister and blab all the exciting things that happened. well sometimes proving people right can be just as much fun as proving them wrong. well i'll cut to the chase, i could tell the whole story, but you really wouldn't be interested. the gist is that on friday night ANDY ROURKE - THE BASS PLAYER FROM THE SMITHS CAME ROUND TO MY HOUSE. i was quite excited. can you tell? dammit i've spent two and a half years on this list trying to convince people that i was really cool and now i've blown it, but anyway. somehow we ended up hanging out with him after a club and he came back to ours to play videogames and couldn't seem to get the hang of craxy taxi and i kicked his ass at soul calibur. [at this point it seems fitting to take a moment to mourn the premature demise of the dreamcast] but not to worry because we're getting a gamecube on friday. woohoo! there should be more sinister gaming discussion as i have found that one of the most effective ways to snare and sustain a relationship with today's young men is to develop or feign an interest in computer games. but to return to my story, the funniest thing happened... i had left lying around a copy of the complete works of oscar wilde because i've been studying him at uni. during the course of the evening mr rourke spid this and proceeded to do a really scary impression of morrissey and tell us about how he used to bang on about oscar wilde. thinking back on this it was hillarious, but its also a little sad when you see washed up ex-popstars still revelling in their former glory. unfortunately thats all i can remember, but thats probably for the best as i was quite drunk and almost certainly made a fool of myself. well, thanks to anyone who actually made it to the bottom of the most disjointed post i've ever written and dammit, by the time i get home there'll only be saved by the bell on tv. its nice to have someone to humour me, love and lollipops, fiona. p.s. no-one from around manchester ever pays attention when i make these pleas, but my night, indigo, is at the phoenix tomorrow (tuesday) night and its really good and we play belle and sebastian and everything. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Tribute to Laura!
by Astrid Wiezell 29 Apr '02

29 Apr '02

Hi Sinisweeties! Today, when I got home, there was a note from the post office that I had a letter that was too big too hand out with the postman, so I had to pick it up. Now, this happens once in a while, when I am expecting it. But I didn't wait for any packages and things to arrive. And the note said that the package was from "Poor Richard". The only Richard I know is a *gorgeous* leader at the youth club, who is like 23, and wouldn't really send anything to me. I have a cousin called Rickard. But why would he send me anything? So it was with great curiousity me and my friend Emelie went to the post office. We also met a boy in one of the other classes in my grade, who is very cute, but really rude and thinks he's the misunderstood individual or something. But he came in and saw us and smiled and nodded to us. All of the sudden, it is # 426, my number and I, dying out of curiousity go to the lady behind the counter. I give her the note, she goes and grabs the BIGGEST of all the parcels, and yes! it is MY parcel! And when I see it I start to laugh hysterically; It's from "Poor Richard's Booksellers", and they say it's from som guy called Poor Richard. I opened it up, and... IT WAS A PRESENT! FROM LAURA LLEW! HURRAH! Yes, I opened it, and inside the enormous envelope was a note, revealing who it was from. I got two books... TWO BOOKS! Not one book, but TWO BOOKS! And one of them was one of my favourite books, The Little Prince! I do have it in a really fancy cover and all at home, but that's in Swedish, I've been dying to read it in English! HURRAH! So, thank you, thank you, thank you to the SWEET Laura who sent me a (late) sinister christmasgift since I only got one but signe dup for two. Oh yes! I am meeting my corduroy sweetheart Tom in four weeks when I go to England, I feel really pretty today, AND I got gifts! PLURAL! and everything is just so perfect! I haven't been this happy for ages... Thank you! Lots of love, Astrid x _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!
