Sinister: testimony to marty's tape making skills
by Christopher Johnson 20 May '02

20 May '02

Hey guys, good luck to all currently sitting exams. Rather luckily mine have now all finished. So last night i took the train down to the wah wah hut to see Dot Allison and wow! it was a great gig. I wasn't sure what i'd make of these new fangled techno beats but it was really special. Her new tunes sounded great and she did a great rocked up mo'pop which was a real treat. I was standing behind a guy doing these wicked projections although it didn't work that well being beamed onto the King Tuts drape at the back of the stage. still, i got the general idea and it was really entertaining seeing him scrammble trying to load another real whilst trying to pick up the set list and everything else he lopped onto the floor. I also got to meet Monica Queen. I was sure it was her but noone else seemed to take any notice so i wasn't totally confident unitl i saw her fetch a chair from the bar - a dead give away! So i went and said hi! and told her i was another crazy belle and sebastian fan but she was really pleasant, especially after she found out i had 'ten sorrowful mysteries', i got the impression not many other people had which is a pity cos its really good. so go forth and buy! anyway, after leaving her in peace i figured i'd forgot to ask that niggling question; was their any symbolic reason behind her wearing the tour de france yellow jersey at last years barrowlands gig? ah well, maybe another time. So it wasn't quite as excitng as having andy rourke back to your flat making morrissey impersonations but i was still quite excited. a couple other things occured too which are best not shared but needless to say i felt very remote and a little strange, uneasy and detatched and so by the time i left id seen a really moody and dark gig, and bumped into someone i'd have done a great deal to avoid. not great but no problem, i'll just listen to the mix tape marty thrust in my hand as i left the flat on my way out the door. Bad move., it was all the really melancholy bits of sigur ros, the blade runner soundtrack and other great gems of mogwai and so forth. Even the cheeriest guy would have been floored by this tape. as testimony to marty's great tape making skills it was all there, all the most depressing bits of songs with all the semi cheery bits absent. Afterwards i didn't feel so bad actually. not that the music itself helped but the fact that marty had actually gone through all his records to select the darkest bits possible, even it they were just 12seconds long, to create a mix tape which he regarded as his favourite. So if i felt mixed up that was replaced by my worry for him. theres always someone else worse. so incidently if anyones got a great sunshine mix they can suggest to sort the lad out please don't hesitate to post it to me. Thanks. well anyway, take care and best wishes, chris _________________________________________________________________ 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: Jerry's where the Springer's at
by kchu＠daimlerchryslerservices.co.uk 20 May '02

20 May '02

Hello all, Oooh oh so tired. I can go all philosophical about my life and how I'm finding it difficult to figure out what's real and what isn't real and where I belong or if I belong anywhere - but I'd bore you kitless, so I won't. (Although the thoughts of some of you kitless are tempting) There had been things much more exciting going on, like the having of an impromptu picnic inside a castle! (a real castle! made of big stones) and the participation in a pool tournament, and discovery channel-like observation of the mating rituals of wild fowls, and the playing of sinister football! I believe we had enough of a turn-out for a 5-a-side match - i.e. we had 10 people. Each wonderfull skilled, and full of stamina! We had several new players such as star defender Stefano, and clinical penalty taker Hannah Brown who scored the winning goal! Blimey, and now my jeans are full of stains, and that's not even from the excitement. I felt a lot more unfit than before. Unfit isn't the only thing either, I'd also discovered this weekend that after speaking in Cantonese at home with my parents for a week I've lost the ability to form proper sentances in English when I speak. Frea-ky. I again one day wish I speak English can sounding like Yoda without. Exciting things that are happening this June: 1. The World Cup 2. My Birthday 3. Queen's Jubilee Double Bank Holiday 4. The World Cup I had to mention the World Cup twice because I love the World Cup! It's so pretty and small and kissable, although it's kind of yucky too that it's been kissed by loads of sweaty footballers over the years. The actual World Cup tournament is quite good too - and it's on free TV! Today at work I had to work with a lot of car registration numbers, and one of them was S152BNS.. BNS! That's like B'n'S.. wow.. Number Plates and Red Bulls Ken P.S.: Do you think B&S will reveal the answers to the treasure hunt clues before the World Cup starts? ****************************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY STATEMENT This email, its content and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may be legally privileged and/or confidential.

Sinister: lock up your daughters, Caserotto's in town!
by Hannah Brown 20 May '02

20 May '02

only joshing, So i went to the football on sunday, hoping there would be lots of you about so i could sit at the side and smugly laugh at the sinister lads getting all sweaty and having balls lunged in their faces. Unfortunatly there was only 10 of us and they needed me to play. It was tres amusing, i screamed, giggled and ran in the opposite direction every time the ball came near, they were all good to me though and didn't scream at me for being a sissy. Then we went to the pub and Mark C talked about his desire for indie porn, he got very excited at the thought of The Boy G naked. Ken Chu talked about getting asked for his autograph in America and i said that i was a good guitarist when i should have said that i am a bit shit. We also talked about the indie karaoke in Soho and decided that this would be a great place for a sinister meet up................(long pause that represents a "watch this space" thing) i really am out of practice with this writing lark so forgive me, i might see some of you soon, and i REALLY hope i see some of you US dudes soon too, hannahxx PS, Jarvis Cocker is going to be on Stars in Your Eyes PPS, The Clientele are playing the metro on june 10th PPS, they guy i was talking about in the pub is called Jeffry Lewis, he is great. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Bring Me The Head Of Arthur Montford. . .
by Brian McNeill 20 May '02

20 May '02

It has struck my attention that a 'Football Tournament' is taking place this summer. This will probably come as a surprise to everyone else on the list as well. But do the rest of the Scottish contingent on here feel a wee bit left out. I suggest that we write our own alternative world cup anthem, under themoniker of 'Sinister Soccer Sycho Squad'. Suggested titles for the tune that spring to mind are as following. 'What A Stramash' and 'We Aren't Very Fond Of Mister James Hill And HisOpinions, So Lets Make A Scurrulous Slur Against His Sexual Orientation.' (catchy eh?)And I feel that Archie Gemmells Victory salute after scoring THAT GOAL, against Holland in '78 would be an excellent image to use on the sleeve. And of course a certain ettiquette shall have to be observed. The only thing that springs to mind at teh moment is not using empty wine boxes for urinating in. (Now I know they are more economical, but the sides do tend to give way.And buckfast and eldorado bottles are so tres chic just now. . .) So what do you say fellow sports fans? dare we try to match such classic songs as 'We're On The Match With Ally's Army' and 'Ole Ola (Muller Brasilia)' ? Obviuolsly it would be cool to play fitter with rod the mod and shake andy camerons hand, but can we do it? uggy uggy uggy (oi oi oi) brian _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: when the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train
by Dean Gillon 20 May '02

20 May '02

Alright me old chinas. everythings cool and everythings schmool. Had an argument with some dick over the weekend. He said you couldn't be happy and have any emotional depth. I told him he was a dick who enjoyed misery because it gave him a motive to feel superior. It was fun though. I like arguing, especially when drunk. This is the only time I do argue to be honest, normally I'm quite laid back. Just listening to the Afghan Whigs "Gentlemen" album. Tip top says Dean. Absolute misery as *some* good music should be. I take it that means I've got no emotional depth. Ho-hum eh? over-rated anyway, it makes you wear black overcoats and read poetry on the tube with the cover blatantly on show so everyone knows you're reading poetry. Sorry, went off on one there. I had an idea that if you know of a good band that people might not have heard of you could recommend them. I've stopped reading NME because of their obsession with nu-metal (blarrrgh). I'll start with Ben and Jason. Two excellent albums, and one mini-album. Emoticons (their second) is my favourite and "romeo and juliet are drowning" is one of the best 5 minutes something ever put onto a round bit of plastic. It's quite mellow, and the singer (um, Ben i fink) has a very good voice. Very accomplished musically and well worth, ooh, about 12 nicker of anyones beer money. Loads of love Dean XXX ps does anyone know any good websites. I'm fed up with www.ratemykitten.com (I shit you not) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: what is it i must do to pay for all my crimes?
by lindsey baker 20 May '02

20 May '02

hello sinister. i hate sundays. i suppose the quiet slowness to them should make me happier; twenty-four hours of pure sleepiness, nothing to do because the world shuts down for a bit of rest and something. but the afternoon has been long, and lent it self to loneliness, and i am sitting back here again longing for something to come along and fill the void i am only ever acutely aware of on the seventh day. my shoes have rubbed a blister on the back of my heel; i have been walking in tight, repetitive circles through the downtown area, looking simultaneously in windows and at my reflection in the stretching panes of glass. is that vain? maybe. danny always said i was quite a vain thing. and maybe i am after all, reading the things i write and preening in front of mirrors and spending an insane amount of time and money and energy to make myself presentable on my own terms daily. but like conor, i wonder if when i look in the mirror these days, someone new is there. and i don't know if i know her. more horrifying: i don't know if i want to know her. *** not that i think i have undergone any great personality change, adopting new outlandish morals. modes of dress are one thing, as are different ways of combing and twisting hair around a head like a misshapen halo. no, what i speak of is something i have known before, but this time, bigger and longer and more shy, a weeping of the spirit. i am sad. and this week, i have to pack the sadness away in boxes and bags with my clothes and food and furniture and move it twelve blocks down the road to a new home, where it will live alone in rapture. *** i wanted to have a story to tell, to give this rambling some purpose. and so. i thought of one. at the coffee house last night. i had been there for a while, by myself, and i had forgotten my book. i read the paper instead as i drank my tea and began a disgusting frenzy of chain smoking until cara got there, and the boys working, thankfully, often interrupted my immersion in current affairs. they sat across from me and smoked, talked to me about life and love and music and writing and all the things you are supposed to talk of at coffee shops. and eventually cara came with jill, who gave me a photograph. in the photograph was me, sitting next to a boy on a pool table at the daily nebraskan spring banquet. we were smoking and he was looking at the camera, while i, paying no attention to anything but the boy (as is always the case with me, i fear), was laughing up into his face. i suppose some people might think i look charming in the picture, slightly taken with the boy, opening my mouth in a widened arc of sheer chemistry. i didn't like it. i didn't like the way my face looked, and i didn't like the way niko, the resident foreign coffee shop old guy (fifty; venezuelan or some such origin) looked at me in the photo while placing his hand on my back. rubbing slightly and telling me i was a beuatiful girl, it was a beautiful picture. but that i was better in person. dan came over and i looked up expectantly, my mouth surely widening in the same way as pictured. he smiled as he picked up the glossy piece of paper, looked at me at length. he handed it back to me after a while, and said 'you aren't wearing your wedding dress.' it was a dn party. i told him i wore wedding dresses to some of the dn parties earlier that night. i pointed to the picture. 'but i'm wearing handcuffs at this party. (a silly prize for a silly award.) surely handcuffs are better than a wedding dress any day.' he laughed. 'well, lindsey, they're kind of the same.' i agreed, and watched him as he walked away, turning to look at me once more before going back behind the counter. *** i am a terrible girl. xxx with love, lou _________________________________________________________________ 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: SINISTER: kissing just for practice would be alright
by Thomas Henderson 18 May '02

18 May '02

hello sini-folk, i've been here for two months, i think, and those two months have bore the fruit of two decidedly average posts from me. Sorry. But now i'm going to attempt a post that says something. However it's the kind of post i sometimes don't like reading, if i'm tired or that. It's the "my girlfriend left me, what shall i do?" post, this time with a twist. Things weren't going well anyway, I'm better without her and she's better without me. I'm just sorry that she finished with me, ideally i would have broken up with her but totally made it to look like it was her fault. Aparently i've changed over the past seven months. I think she's jusr gotten to know me, and well, she doesn't like the real me. I am an arrogant twat (some might say) I never did really fancy her as such, i wanted to be with someone, anyone, and she pulled me. But I was glad she did, we had great times with each other, she even came to my first sinister picnic with me, she is really nice, as a friend. That's it! As a friend, i have no overwhelming desire to "put my thing in her thing" or to really kiss her properly, kissing just for practice would be ok, maybe. She also has my Glastonbury ticket, which i desperately want. i want to go to glasto with her, but not in a sharing a sleeping bag kind of way. If she isn't going out with me she doesn't want to know me, which i think is a bit harsh. I've realised a lot of things recently. Today while reading pieces of writing on the band site i realised something. For the past year or so, i've been thinking Stevie i so cool and forgetting about the rest of the band a bit. Stevie is undeniably cool and he signed two cd covers for me, as apposed to the one by everyone else (i'm going off track here, if you haven't noticed, by my tigermilk sleeve with "stevie" faintly written above the "and" in "belle and sebastian" is brilliant) Anyway, today i realised i've been unfairly ignoring sturan, stuart, struan, stru-anne, mr murdoch. Stuart is the only member of the band who could make me cry (without kicking me in the bollocks) But you know what i mean, go and read evrything you can find that he has written, and if you haven't already, realise that he *is* a genius, and not in a shitty schoolboy "oh thome yorke is a genius" kind of way, i mean we are truly blessed to live in a time where we have stuart murdoch. oh well sorry if that last paragraph was arsey or ill-punctuated or just too long. if you took the time to read this, thank you. if you didn't f*ck you, you are a monkey (shit they didn't read this anyway so there's no point....) well thanx thomas ps: i wonder if now that it was ages a go ken chu will stop going on about the clues to the treasure hunt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: saving the world and other great ideas
by unstable mable 18 May '02

18 May '02

Ok, so i'm probably gonna get banned from the list for doing this as no doubt there is a rule against this, but oh well, got to spread the word, and i know the sinister lot are an intelligent, caring bunch..... Today is Stop Esso day and people are protesting against esso, who doesn't give a damn about global warming. Infact, esso still claim that global warming is scientifically unfounded. Over the past 10 years or so its been using its wealth and power to actively undermine international action on global warming and successfully lobbied Bush to pull out of the kyoto protocol. So if you are interested, visit www.stopesso.com and dont buy esso! In the interests of trying not to get struck of this list as i do quite like being part of the sinister massif, i shall include a bit of diary type stuff about my week: Sunday:had date with a guy who i dont think realised that when i asked him if he wanted to go for a drink with me i meant it as a date. But all went well and i think i managed to be witty and interesting for the short while we were out. And then we walked back to the train station where i slipped down a flight of muddy steps, on my bum, and ended up very embarressed and in a heap on the floor. So now i'm sure the guy things i am an idiot (he is super cool and would never have done something like that). Mon/Tues/Weds/Thurs/Fri: Played a bit of frisbee in the park, surfed the net alot (have lots of uni work to do and its an easy distraction). Sat: Protested! in the morning anyway (for those of you that have actually read this far and are wondering how i managed to write a post and be at an esso garage at the same time...) See, my life during the week is very dull, no wonder i dont write any posts very often!!

Sinister: the grosvenor cafe
by trish delish 18 May '02

18 May '02

Hello all, if anyone asks, i'm not actually here...i'm just an illusion you see, the real me is hard at it in the library preparing for upcoming exams and such lark... oh, i just live for the day i can say i'll never sit an exam as long as i live (that day is 30th May next year, you're all invited to the party) anyway, since i'm not here and all, i guess i should kind of get on with it. i was on the band site this morning, ordering one of the shopping bags in my newfound eco-friendly mood, and i noticed that there's a new piece of writing up there, i'm guessing it's by stuart though could be stevie either? http://www.banchory.net/belleandsebastian/ also hazarding a guess, but it seems to be the cafe mentioned in a lot of sleeve notes, the one where the band did/didn't form, depending on whose version you listen to my superpowers must be increasing, i've posted some almost-content, and i'm not even here! enjoy your weekend folks trish delish P.S. I wonder if the Ken Chu Tour will expand on the obvious success of the American adventure, and spread the love on a worldwide basis? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
