Sinister: haikus revealed // week seventeen // two thousand and two
by ee fumblings 06 May '02

06 May '02

I find myself in a predicament I don't know how to handle. The prize was a pair of tickets for what ever region you live in. I hope that those of you coming to the show will have a beer with us. Perfect timing. Let's have a pint. no sinister around, suspicious. Mornington crescent, Camden station still closed.... Up to the northern lines. Apologies and hiya to anyone I failed to mention above. BASS PLAYER FROM THE SMITHS CAME ROUND TO MY HOUSE. i was quite excited. Kenyan and I are all tough WOLF SHIRT WEARERS. I bet you are jealous. There was even a young girl who may or may not have dreamt of horses. I became fond of the familiar faces. Life moves on, as did I. Easter, it's spring, it gets dark quite late though not as late as in Scotland. Ian, sometimes I don't think at all. Or I think of different things. I know what I have been telling you to keep the faith in all along. It's just around the corner from where I live so i was curious. Pullman Washington! Dinky little college town. Concert was great, though... Sounds like it's being played on dinosaur bones and huge slabs of granite. Jon Spencer started this shit and he does it best I hate Journalists. Well hello there. It's true, Ian will never be as good as Archel. Ah well. List abuse is, one supposes, better than self-abuse. Probably raise a smile out of me when I go to work there also. I might just write them on the walls of the lavvy anyhow*. Thats it. I was trying to set a record for being the Longest Lurker. I'm sorry I was rushed for time with this and have no Sinister name. She had to do it. Nobody know how little time she might have then. I hope one day to feel the kind of everyday joy she did, or does. I hope to God that any message I send out gets to her somehow. Against History due today for my Irish History final. However, it's still not here and I leave on my roadtrip tomorrow. Hello! So, last night I saw a little band called Belle and Sebastian. You Want to Be a Rock N Roll Star (cover) The show was amazing. Laura, I'm looking at you. Bulk love, -Vanilla Flavoured David. The Loneliness Of A Middle Distance Runner last night in Texas. Or if we couldn't make connections between things and derive beauty. Tell it. If you're tired of the silent night jesus, well then you yell it. SWITCH THE SIGN "So, how do I get from Grimsby to Leeds?" "Oh, it's easy. If you don't want to know what happens near the end at all, spank me now. Stuart teased us that they were going to play a Butthole Surfers song. Please email me back, it's face value, of course, and in the orchestra. Oh yes baby, when it's time to party, surely, we will party hard. I HEART KEN CHU badge, not to mention a melted chocolate bar from Greece. I'd let you know that This is your time to pay this is your judgement day. I've been listening to it so much lately. PET SOUNDS by the Beach Boys. And if they don't have the money for the beer, I'll buy them one. Word up. Subject: Sinister: but when the wind starts to shift there's no argument. I'm still not sure which to do, so could someone please tell me what to think. I'm glad they're touring. I'm glad people are getting a chance to see them. Please have a little bit of consideration to the rest of us. But its the ones with on or two lines that are a total waste of time. And then this man was sitting in a corner, this raggedy old man. But he asked for some money towards a coffee in exchange for it. Other than that the show was great. The Rocky skit was hilarious. I can proudly say ONE of the best looking girls in SF is taken. I didn't drive eight hours and pay dollars to be disappointed. I had a mini panic attack... Isobel come on the NYC stage. I attended my first belle and sebastian show last night at philly. Disappearance Of Isobel, the World's Coolest Cello Player Inc. Had a woman flash a boob at me to display a tattoo she had... Subject: Sinister: Isobel's presence at the USA concerts.... Probably blatant list abuse but I am in need, so forgive me. I've heard them all from some of my caring friends. Hope to hear something back. Email me off list if you have questions, concerns, or just think I'm cute. / ee / +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: cat power in the half light
by Ruth Allan 06 May '02

06 May '02

hello sinister. only second post. what can you do eh? Just wondering if anyone else saw cat power in london last night? I only have you, whoever mentioned it only fleetingly on the list for my attendance and for the line "what do you do when you true love leaves, the hardest thing in the world is finding someone who believes in you" or thereabouts. what a beautiful song, and what a shambolic gig. she was shining and the few lyrics I heard reminded me of those first few listens to yon belle and sebastian , who's potential for afterthought is only rivalled by our lady cat. and loads of other singers I've never heard of and no doubt boy detail enthustiasts will be clicking their tongues in horror at my ignorance. just a note. she sang in the most amazing hall called "bush" whose insides look like a wedding cake inverted, everything is coated with fantastic cherbic details and there are not less than 7 chandeliers, or prrahps 5. thankyou. rx _________________________________________________________________ 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 discourage the boy Marge-weaseling out of things is what seperates us from the animal kingdom , except the weasel of course
by Jonathan Skinner 06 May '02

06 May '02

Dear All i hope this find you all well. I am fine and dandy on this fine weathered bank holiday which i should be using to my full advantage and studying but i think i shall wait until the afternoon until my self inflicted headache (more on that in a min) has subsidedl. Last night was the first of many (i hope) beach gatherings. All it took to organise was a couple of phone calls. Originally it was to be just a car party with just 5 of us going down but it ended up being about 20 of us sat on a beach not far from Kinsale on the south coast of Ireland with guitars and fire and beer and food. It was a great evening and the beach is incredible. It is a tiny little cove with the nicest sand underfoot. THere are rocks all over the place and a walk along moorland where you eventully reach a an old fort which has dungeons etc. Legend has it that there are tunnels leading down to below the water accross to the fort on the opposite headland which i think may have had some fact but i think the tunnels are now blocked over. THe area around the town has some incredible history seeing as it was the setting for the Battle of Kinsale in 1601 when the evil brits (no offence i am part one anyway) landed and tried to take control of the country (which they eventully did) But it is one of these places where you get the feeling that you are walking over history and i rarely get that. But i suppose when you know the history of the place it is different, for instance i probably wouldn't get the same feeling from concorde or any place in the states purely because i am pig ignorent when it comes to american history. THe only reason i got that vibe in Paris was at the Bastille was cos we were there with all the protesting against Le Pen which was weird for me anyway but persume the French are used to protesting. I always feel the same way whenever i get back from a trip-restless and annoyed at my puny and slightly unfulfilling life back home. But i am heading away after my exams to Italy for a while. France beckons at some point in the Summer to stay with my brother and in August a big blow out is planned for Barcelona with people converging from London and Madrid and Cork The gig in Austin sounded nice and atmospheric but i can't understand why people are bitching about the lovely Ms Cambell not being present. She isn't the band!!!!! Neither is Stuart or Stevie or Bob or Mick or Richard or Sarah. they all are collectivly ( i could understand if stuart was missing cos he is the vocalist) IF liking the band is based on aesthetics then you might as well listen to Nsync or backstreet boys or what ever. So what the pouting mistress wasn't there- was the music any different- i doubt it highly. Right rant over and my i say i am dead jealous of anyone who did actully get to see them Isobeless or not godspeed jonathan +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Taking off the Arab Strap
by Red Geisha 06 May '02

06 May '02

Actually you're not the only Montreal fan, a gay strip joint has a dancer who disrobes to "The Boy with the Arab Strap" - hopefully he'll do his number at the gig! :) This was reported about a year ago in our Toronto weekly "Eye" by Bruce LaBruce. There are loads of fans in Montreal and surrounding regions...you just haven't got any good indie nights! I have heard Ottawa has a really stellar indie night, but Montreal is home to the meat market clubs :p > >Hey ! > >All of you fans from Toronto...Why don't you al drive down to Montreal on >Tuesday ? There are still a few tickets left and I'd be more than happy to >meet >you all...By the way, it seems I'm the only B&S fan in this city. > >Dominic >Montreal > _________________________________________________________________ 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.

None

Hi Ive written to everyone who has thus far responded to my cry for help yesterday. I now feel slightly less embarrassed about having posted such a message. All your replies have been warmly received and have filled me with a slowly building optimism. If I didnt portray this in my replies then Id just like to reiterate if you think youve taken nothing from the last couple of days, think again. You have genuinely been a great source of encouragement and help. I cant thank you enough.

Sinister: at your next b+s gig....
by Susan Rennie Williamson 06 May '02

06 May '02

...check the person you are about to push in front of is taller than you, and ask them first - sometimes people like to stand and listen, and people pushing about and standing on feet is a wee bit annoying. there is nothing worse than trying to see your favourite band when you're only 5 foot 3 and someone pushes in so your view is blocked by a sweaty armpit. i don't think people should be penalised for being shorter than average and not dancing. ..sorry about the rant, but i had to say it.. spare a thought! earworm +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Call it What You want
by Oscar Vivanco 06 May '02

06 May '02

I can proudly say ONE of the best looking girls in SF is taken. By Me. Sorry, Still gloating over that one. So Coachella and B&S. So Short of a set. So Sad. My third B&S show. I felt like most of the people there didn't even have a clue. They were playing The Wrong Girl when it occurred to me that most of the heads were barely bopping and I said fuck it, I didn't drive eight hours and pay 140 dollars to be disappointed. So I Crammed myself in front of ten people who were completely pissed that I was pushing them aside. After a coupla minutes of bad mojo shot at the back of my head I settled back into the sounds of my obsession just five people back in dead center. Ahhh. I then got to ask about the whereabouts of Isobel. And Stuart replied that she sadly couldn't join them, but would be in Philly. He likes it when I ask him questions about the band, we've got this thing, me and him. Her replacement cellist was a little sad/sickly/fraily looking. The concert, I thought wasn't the best. Stuart's mic was going in and out and the band felt so incomplete. It was great to hear him improvise on the lyrics about the foo fighters and most excellent to hear the freestylin/beboppin one-minute song they played. The setting was beautiful and the band is beautiful. They set off the smoke alarm. It's funny that after I see them I go back to all my records and play them one by one over and over while following along with the lyrics. Cannot get enough. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: "If you're going to stand in the front, don't keep leaving and coming back" and other NYC Gig related comments
by Derek s 06 May '02

06 May '02

Seriously though, it's crowded enough up there without people trying to get through. I'll start by saying that the show was AMAZING. The Aisler Set was great, and there was not one "ehh" song in B&S' whole set. Stayin' alive was fantastic. I didn't think stuart would talk to the audience as much as he did. It made me feel very much a part of what was going on. Isobelle seemed pretty disinterested most of the time, though I wondered what she and Bobby were doing when they kept going off stage. They might have been getting their snog on. I tried to stay after for a setlist or whatever the little balls of paper were, but the guard told me to, "keep it movin' along." Not that it ruined the night at all, but for 99% of the show I was dreadfully uncomfortable. The person standing behind me apparently thought me to be good dry-humping material, and the woman next to me decided that I was good a good leaning post. I should have said to her, "Hey if we're going to be this close, we should probably get aquainted<wink, wink>" That would have scared her off for sure. I also want to thank all the picnic goers that welcomed me in and took me under their wing. You were all so pleasant that it made what was for me a very uncomfortable situation much easier. I apologize for being somewhat quiet and shy at first, I just needed some warm-up time.I hope I was amicable enough. I'd like to become a picnic regular. Well, I must be up in three hours. Take care all. -Derek __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: Boston Report
by Marisa Privitera 06 May '02

06 May '02

As I am writing this, there are a couple thousand people in New York who are getting their turn tonight, and I am so excited for each and everyone of them. Last night was amazing. Apologies to those of you who are tired of all the gig reports. You can either just hit delete, an easy split second of your time, or you can read anyway and remember how excited you were after the last time you saw them. First things first.... THE SET LIST Fuck This Shit Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie Dirty Dream #2 The Magic of a Kind Word Waking Up to Us Seeing Other People Wandering Along Don't Leave the Light on Baby The Loneliness of the Middle Distance Runner The Model Simple Things The Boy with the Arab Strap We Rule the School Family Tree Like Dylan in the Movies Women's Realm The Wrong Girl Lazy Line Painter Jane Legal Man and finally, the encore was 'Freak Scene' by Dinosaur Jr. One of my favorite songs by them, and b&s rocked out and pulled it off quite well. I brought my little mini bar filled with enough gin and tonics for five people because I was sure no more than that would show up to the pre show picnic. I was pleasantly surprised to find about 3 times that many, (sorry for the water-downed drinks guys). It was so nice to meet some listees and here their stories. I was quite nervous and probably giggled more than I should have because of it. You all were just delicious though and I was happy to find other people behaving a bit like a 14yr old girl going to an N'Sync show. On a side (somewhat nostalgic) note, I haven't felt this way about a show in a long time and was beginning to wonder if I lost that enthusiasm permanently. Anyway, it felt good and I hope to hold on to this feeling as long as I can. Okay, end of my sentimental rantings. Sorry, I've been out of sorts today. Before the show, Stuart and Mick were quite sweet and stopped to talk to everyone outside. They listened to all the nervous quivers of fans and posed for pictures. Very gentleman-like I must say. Then there was the concert. It was very similar to the rapport of the past few shows. Stuart had a great rapore with the audience and even danced about all frontman like. Our venue had assigned seats and most people were sitting, despite pleas from Stuart for us to dance. Of course I made a complete dork of myself when I could no longer sit and leapt off my chair to dance. Kevin, I saw you the whole show and knew I was in great company. You're fantastic! To all you guys going to more shows, just dance damn it! You'll have more fun, the band will have more fun. Its good for the soul, good for everyone. Yes, Isobel was there. I know there have been complaints about her look of boredom and discontent. I'm taking a deferent approach though... she just strikes me as being shy and uncomfortable, and I find that endearing. I was just glad to see that she was there. Then, there was the after show bit. We sort of had a feeling that Chris was going to dj at a local bar. We did some more drinking at the Irish pub down the street and ran into Mick again. He confirmed that Chris was dj'ing where we thought he would be and so we piled into our cars and headed over there. I'll make it short because this post is already much longer than I wanted it to be. It was a great time. Stuart danced and danced. We all did. He was once again in great spirits and so willing to talk to all of us that approached him. I'm still a bit dreamy about the whole thing. So that's that. I want to especially thank Stacey for putting up with all my giddiness! I wish you all a good night and sweet dreams. Marisa p.s. I forget who posted this today about having to wear Gap clothes to be different but I completely agree! It was like having a room full of Romulan clones. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
