Sinister: a clarification on the tape twee
by Aruni J 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

Idiot that I am, I referred to the tape trade as the "US tape trade" when in reality I meant North American. I'm sorry--everyone on the continent is welcome (postage being pretty much the same everywhere), including Canadians, Mexicans, and Texans. :) Apologies again; I appear to have become, all unknowing, one of _those people_. Like, hey, it's July 4th soon, let's go shoot something. Did I mention I went into The City today? ~Aruni PS Then again, anyone could miss Canada, all tucked away down there... ;) _________________________________________________________________ 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: not much CHUse to KENyone
by juju fox 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

halo sinister. it's a nice day for a TWATTYBUS... here i sit with a g4 named otis (nom du jour), lacking the motivation i pretended to have yesternite when i told my roommate how i'd be getting up early to take my resum� 'round to various places in order to land myself a dayjob. but i've been without one for months, and i've come accustomed to staying up late and sleeping the clock around. that is not to say that i am lazy. i still play piano at nite and have the band and all that. and i work hard... at living my new bohemian lifestyle. i've just been enjoying my solitude more lately. i think i'm slowly cutting myself off from the people that live in this town, and seeking closeness with the etherworld. but that all may have been caused by the latest happenstance in my life. just over one week ago, being quite boring, i went after work to a friend's flat to borrow his copy of rushmore. it was too late to get to the rental place in time, so i didn't mind going a little out of my way for such big entertainment. but just as i reached his door, i heard the mew of a wee bitty: the tiniest sounding kitten. it was coming from his abandoned car, a yellow '64 thunderbird. (if you aren't aware of what those cars look like, just know that they have very wide hollow walls that are nearly impossible to reach even the longest, lankiest arms into for the rescuing of such tiny animals.) after a long while of trying to locate the feline, he was discovered, and i hopped atop the engine to get a better angle for twisting my arm into the hiding place behind the wheel well. "so soft!" i shouted when first i touched his fur. and in my hand, i held the tiniest wee bitty of a hamster-looking cat, one mr. honey mustard seed. who knows how long he'd been starving or acquiring diseases, but he was loved and cared for 24/7 -for just the 7 days - by yours truly. he changed my life in that short time. healed my heart and turned my frown upside-down. and tho he passed while i wasn't looking, i know he's still here with me, and everytime i listen to hope sandoval and the warm inventions, i will think of him and the time we spent together. so forget all the entires i've made of a silly boy who moved away and took my broken heart with him. cos this is the new juju. the one who feels useless. the one with nothing to do in the day now. no one to care for. nothing to give to. and not much to write about except how grape ape TWATTYBUS is to me today. this mourning, while updating my blog (you know you have one, too), i couldn't define my thoughts, so i ended up with a b&s song in my head. so i ended up putting the record on... and by the time i'd opened the fridge, grabbed a peach yogurt, opened it, licked the lid clean, retrieved a spoon from the back of the drawer in the kitchen, and come back to the record player to turn up the volume, the second song began playing, and my hips ended up shaking. and so i ended up dancing and eating yogurt to the beat of one of the best songs ever made. and if you disagree, you are not the one i will love forever and ever. indeed, i have come to the recent conclusion that i could only ever fall for someone that couldn't help but dance to that tune. someone who thinks it's as grate as i do. i wish i could surround myself with people who felt the same. what a charming world that would be. what a pretty bubble... of course, that silly boy would dance to that tune... he'd even whisper-sing it under his breath to me over our mobile connections... but that's all behind me now. ahem. wasting time talking to anyone that's there, juju ps i got one of those notification emails from a crush site... but it wasn't saying someone had a crush on me. it was saying someone thought i had a crush on them. it was somewhat annoying. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: i don't love anyone
by Feather Boa 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

well, ok that's a lie, but i've had the song in my head all day for some reason. i've managed to stay mostly hayfever free this year, but i have a worrying feeling that i might be alergic to my cat, he has a habit of rubbing himself on my clothes, bed, face etc, and i've been sneezing all day. but then so has he. maybe he's alergic to cats. is that even possible? i see from the archives that i haven't posted since the tenth of april, so i probably have quite a lot to say... dunno. also checking the archives i seem to talk about my dreams a lot: this month i have been mostly dreaming about officers of york students union being small rodents (the lgb officer was a hamster for instance). but not in a bad way, societies officer mummy i grazed my knee. tomorrow i'm going back to my all time favourite place in the world, the open air theatre in regent's park. i'm hoping they'll let me write an essay about them, because i love them so. plus they owe me for three seasons unpaid work there. i'm trying to organise a york sinister massive trip to the seaside at brighton ... more on that when i've organised it... when, when i hear you cry, well, possibly the second week of august, but i can't guarantee it just yet. possibly we shall also have a picnic on the rocky beaches, but this also is uncertain. i think that's been 15 minutes (i had to go and choose chinese food, so it might not have been). i saw cliff richard on the telly today, but not the dali lama. pip pip, FB X ps, arsefaced cunt. ps2, damn damn, no answer from chinese food place. that means curry *aargh* _________________________________________________________________ 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: FW: Might be of interest to B&S people.
by David White 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

List abuse here but it might be of interest to some... Summer Holiday with Belle and Sebastian in Spain Last summer a friend and I went to Spain for a music festival at the seaside. We had a lovely time there in the sun, with three full days of music, and a beach party at the end. Belle and Sebastian played last year, and they?ll be there again this time. There are many other bands and artists playing, as an inspection of the festival?s site shows - http://english.fiberfib.com/, but a few names here ? Radiohead, Primal Scream, Saint Etienne, Sigur Ros, DJ shadow, The Cure, The Chemical Brothers. This year we're going again, but it will be by coach this time (flying to Barcelona and traveling on by train was an awkward journey). We?ll leave Central London on the evening of Wednesday 31st July, and be back sometime on the 7th August. A campsite is included in the festival ticket price, so we'll take tents, and aim to get at least one meal cooked together each day. We?re in touch with the organizers and hoping to negotiate a good place on the site. The lovely town of Benicassim has many restaurants, some suitable for vegetarians, and food and drink is cheaper than in the UK. The cost of the coach ride (during which everyone will have a nice air-conditioned time) and festival ticket together will be less than £250. It?s a very friendly festival. Sure, we queued up for the showers, but there are lots of nice touches, like the free internet access tent, which is being expanded this year. Sun and sea are guaranteed. If you?re interested in being among the 49 people going there at the end of this month, you should get in touch with james.booth(a)btinternet.com or mick(a)strobetalbot.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Re: Sinister: The Polyphonic Spree / The Parsley Sound
by FearofMops＠aol.com 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

i don't normally post, but someone mentioned the polyphonic spree so i had to chime in. as a former resident of dallas, i got to see them several times. the lead singer that you said was ripping off wayne of the flaming lips is tim delaughter, formerly of tripping daisy. and yes, tripping daisy did seem to take a lot of their inspiration from the lips. so i guess it would make sense that polyphonic would have some similarities too. as for the album, i love it. if anyone sees "the beginning stages of the polyphonic spree" at their local record store, get it. or at least give it a listen in the store. they do put on a great live show as well, not quite as good as the lips, but it's still an experience. errr...this has been devoid of any b&s content. how bout this - you want to know the saddest thing in the world? do you? i had 4 tickets to the chicago show and had to give away or sell them all. don't you feel for me? okay well, ciao. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The Polyphonic Spree / The Parsley Sound
by lazylinedavid＠netscape.net 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

Ian Watson mentioned the Spree on here a few days ago - and I'd just like to second his emotion. They played a show at the Knitting Factory on Saturday night, and it was truly astonishing. It takes some confidence to start a performance by getting the entire room (the 26 people on stage plus 200 of us in the audience) singing along to a taped instrumental version of 'Hey Jude' - but by the time they'd done that, the battle was won. There were people in the crowd crying tears of joy, and I spent most of the show laughing out loud. It was that good. Having said that, a few caveats: 1. About half of their songs are not very good. However, when they're performed with such obscene enthusiasm, it ceases to matter. And the songs that *are* good leave you in a state of such euphoria that you would forgive this band anything. 2. The whole thing is contrived. But honestly, who cares? 3. They've nicked a lot of their stage presence off the Flaming Lips (the gong, the theremin, the singer's voice, for God's sake). But if, like me, you think the Lips are the most entertaining live band you've seen in years, then you won't mind that at all. If they come anywhere near where you live, you ought to go and see them. I don't own their album: is it worth having? It seems impossible that they could burn that energy on to a CD. Secondly, does anyone know much about The Parsley Sound? (What is it with bands whose initials are TPS?) I bought their 5-track single thing the other day, and it's gorgeous. 'Ease Yourself and Glide' is the perfect summer song. Are they going to be all mysterious and just disappear like Hopkirk and Lee (discussed on this list a few years ago)? And did anyone ever find out who the hell they were, anyway? That's enough for now, Love, David xxxxxxxxxxxx __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.

Sinister: Hanging Around (literally)
by Simon Fallaha 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

Hello again everyone. You know something? I hardly saw anything of Glastonbury. All I saw was Jools Holland and his band playing in the afternoon - sounded very good, but I was flicking between that, the tennis and football. Spoiled for choice, eh? Ah well, now the World Cup's over I won't get that kind of choice. This morning I happened by the video for Gemma Hayes' latest single, Let A Good Thing Go, while channel surfing. It's alright, I suppose, but too much flashing. The video for Hanging Around was much easier on the eyes. That, and the song was slightly catchier. I'm happy to hear that she'll supposedly be performing at our very own Nerve Centre soon. We haven't had a decent band come here since the Super Furry Animals last November. Latest news: I am bound for Tunisia on the 17th! Anywhere that you can find much better weather than here in Derry (mind you, is that difficult?) is wonderful by me. Looking forward to it. Got to go to my brother's graduation first though... I didn't think I was going to post again so soon, but your recent posts couldn't help but catch my attention. So, for the first time in ages, here come my notes to everybody... Anne ---- You talked a lot about Isobel. She sounded nice enough on The Gentle Waves songs, however much I dislike them, so you can't say she doesn't have a professional singing voice. No doubt, she is missed. Perhaps you are right though about her constant depression, though (is that another explanation for her attention seeking at live gigs?). As for Astrid, I think she may still be around (after all, I hung about for nearly six months without posting). Ken Chu ------- Hope your interview today went really well, and yes, I did watch the World Cup final (remember how boring I said it might be after my four favourite teams went out?). Actually, it was very good. Don't know what all the fuss about Denilson is though (he didn't do that much, did he?). Grainne, Stu ------------ Like your Divine Comedy message titles. Reminds me that they played Something For The Weekend on Radio 2 the other day. Grainne ------- Great to hear from you again, I think it's been a while since I last saw you post. I still remember much of the Belfast gig even six months from now (probably because I haven't been to another concert since!! And then there was the article I wrote for the uni magazine, published in March). Good point you made about the lyrics too (they were probably best on Tigermilk and If You're Feeling Sinister), although I prefer the music, especially on songs like Legal Man, Sleep The Clock Around and The Boy With The Arab Strap. Actually, to this day I'm undecided on what my favourite B & S song is. Rachel fruitloop ---------------- It's always fun to read your posts.You mentioned that you really liked the Storytelling album, but have you seen the film? In General ---------- A while ago, you all mentioned McDonald's characters. Funny topic of conversation, but did any of you mention that big purple thing they called Grimace?

Sinister: reporting back with 'billy sloan style' photos to follow
by Thomas Henderson 02 Jul '02

02 Jul '02

hullo! i'm back home now, and in the week (almost) that i've been away things have changed 'round these parts. my bedroom looks a lot brighter and cleaner, the loft is floored now as well. and the pet shop on the main street next to what every's is now the barber shop that used to be round the corner and up the hill, next to the bank. so glastonbury.... the bands were good and stuff, festival highlights (excluding belles, they have their own section coming up) were the beta band who were simply fantastic and even got away with not playing dry the rain (bastards) Mull Historical Society were excellent for a sing/bop along. gorkys as always were fantabulous, but before they came on i caught a guy called pete yorn who sounded a bit like what brmc wanted to sound like. the point is though that rolf was the highlight of the festival with his midsummer christmas song and hollies cover. "billy sloan style photos" but "what are they" struan asked, well, billy sloan is this guy who is the entertainments/ showbiz correspondant on the news programme scotlant today and also in those fine establishments of print that are the daily record and the sunday mail. he always has these cheesy photos with the stars. however, the authenticity was recently questioned as he usualy wears the same shirt and has the same smile and stands in the same position. so anyway the belles did a Q signing tent thing, which was really good. my vitriol were signing before them and of the thirty or so people in the queue about seven of them were there for my vitriol, everyone else for the belles. it was funny when the security bloke tried to get us to leave the fenced queue we informed him that we were all here for the next band and as he glanced along the line at the twee indie-popsters standing waiting on their band to shuffle out, he informed my vitriol that they were as well leaving the tent after only abouty five minutes. so then they appeared and i got a notepad signed and photos taken with stuart and stevie. stuart had hurt his hand playing football. richard agreed that the guys from alfie were totally out of their tits, and i got mick a bit confussled about "bud" and "burds" i think mr cooke's mind was on other things maybe. then i walked away, then i remembered that i left the notepad on the table so i ran back and got it. then i went and chilled and watched a bit of brmc, then went back to the tent. i caught a bit of elbow before b&s, they were alright. umm b&s were fantastic, is there any need to eloaborate? they covered the boys are back in town again, it rocked (spot deliberate irony) then i toddled off to see gorky's and euros walked past me on the way down, so the question is, was he up seeing the belles or a bit of roger waters? then i went and hippied out for a little while and wrote some things in my notepad, i might share them with you when i feel special again. lots of other things happened but i can't be bothered detailing my weekend in real-time that and i might be too mashed to remember so byeee thomas x ps: the best kind of drugs are free ones __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
