Sinister: the bells of st catherine
by terry underwear 27 Sep '02

27 Sep '02

hello, mums are interesting creatures aren't they? i just got back from visiting my mum and dad (they live about 3 hours south of perth). i stayed for almost a week and got a cup of tea in bed every morning. my mum and i always have good chats and she enjoys having me around to pack the dishwasher and get wood for the fire, and to talk to i guess. she said she liked that band i always played and asked where they came from. i said scotland, and their name is actually Belle and Sebastian, not The Bells of St Catherine. She laughed. We're lucky to have Mums. cats are interesting creatures arent't they? i just got back from visiting my cat (Puss Puss lives about 3 hours south of perth). i stayed for almost a week and Puss Puss slept on my bed every morning. my cat and i always have fun together and he enjoys me patting him and following me when i get wood for the fire. I had a Leonard Cohen best of, TBWTAS and Deserters Songs in a random shuffley type thing, and every time a B&S song came on Puss Puss pricked his ears and appeared to listen intently. He cleaned himself to Mercury Rev and Leonard Cohen. People say cats are lazy, but i think that they must be very motivated to clean themselves so often. If i were a cat i would just let myself go and hang out with the feral types. but Puss Puss is a bit of a looker and he intends to keep it that way. We're lucky to have cats. little brothers are interesting creatures aren't they? i just got back from visiting my little brother (Craig lives about 3 hours south of perth). i stayed for almost a week and Craig and I had a game of indoor soccer every evening. My little brother and i always have fun together and he enjoys beating me up, playing drums while i play guitar, playing guitar while i play drums, and roughing me up when i beat him at indoor soccer. he makes me proud cause he is good kid and he doesn't care what other peole think. he is even starting to write songs and i said they were okay. We're lucky to have little brothers. belle and sebastian are interesting creatures aren't they? i just got back from visiting my mum and dad and cat and little brother and i saw my older brother too (they live about 3 hours south of perth). i stayed for almost a week and listened to B&S every morning. They write such damn fine music and they appear to be genuinely nice people too. Stuart Murdoch is my favourite and I hope he wins the weakest link. We're lucky to have Belle and Sebastian. terry ____________________________________________________________ Tired of all the SPAM in your inbox?

Sinister: Content, of the Political variety + London-centric
by jim taylor 27 Sep '02

27 Sep '02

Please read the below quote from http://www.banchory.net/belleandsebastian/180902.html , or skip it if you - as i expect - have been to the B&S website recently... from: Stuart's Diary 16th September 2002 - athens & rome "Brian (lighting, philosophy, Ranger's fan) suggested that if Britain went to war on Iraq, he was going to leave the country as the only thing he could do to prove that he in no way supported what was happening. I could see his point. It would be a complete sickener. Who the hell do we think we are? The five permanent members of the security council have already split the Iraqui oil share between them, pending a new US friendly Iraqui government. Makes you want to sell your car as well. They can keep their stinking oil. Well, they can wait till I've sold Max then they can keep it. I'd feel like getting out of here aswell if we go to war. Trouble is, I'd probably fancy going to New York or somewhere. And there's the lazy hypocrisy. America, great place, but run by a load of tossers. Come on, spread the wealth! And Europe is definitely as bad. Or would be if the world paid as much attention to it. I mean, I'm sure they're not all tossers if you met them, politicians that is, but really, they are all so mean! Nobody is prepared to give an inch. It's like, you take a decent person and put them in a car, they start to act sometimes in a way towards others which they would never do if they were walking down the street. Put someone in charge of a country and it's the same thing. They'd do to a million people on the other side of the world in a stroke what they would consider barbarous if they just met someone in the street, or in the pub or something. I don't know if I'm making great sense here.." until now, i missed big stu referencing this http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200209/msg00045.html, as i've been mainly off-line, away to America. Fact: this was the first time Iraq has been referenced on sinister since May, when Dean said http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200205/msg00283.html "dubya just itching to get into Iraq for ignoring the UN, developing weapons of mass destruction, appropriating money away from health and welfare towards a huge military machine and refusing to allow inspectors to examine their chemical weapons. Certainly not charges you could accuse the US of. hmmmmmm." he followed that with an apology to Americans, also commenting that this is not the place for such stuff. Well, i do neither, as, with careful consideration, i do not feel the need to. reason 2) This is a B&S + B&S lifestyle list. B&S are political as i have commented briefly before. ( http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200005/msg00035.html ) It's not why i love them, and it appears i still do after all these years, but it is what i expect of them. reason 1) I just flew (glossing over enviroment-damaging hypocrisies) back from the US, not my first visit. I like a lot about the US. It seems to be a true meritocracy, *unlike* the UK and many other places. It is many things. I am simultaneously ashamed and proud about things British, and would be the same if i were an American. The list didn't ignore 9/11, and neither should/could it. Neither should it ignore what is going on in the world around us, particularly when we have crucial opportunities to influence this. I do not ask or expect others to agree with me. I do not suggest polticisation of the list. I'd hate that. But there are certain things i have to do, to be myself. One of these is remind/inform you of saturday's demo. I'd happily make this a walking pic-nic should anybody care to join me. I'm confident that if one more body from this list (after it's owners mind has of course carefully considered the issues and decided it aligned) chose to put itself on the street to display opposition to the threatened military action (and it's up to you if you feel ok about multi-lateral UN approved, but unilateral... ???) then that would stir some positve feelings in B&S towers. This list if anything is about sharing. If anybody would like to give me a call on 07816 290 077, and arrange to meet up for the 1pm-ish start at London's embankment to 'march' (or tweely shuffle) to Hyde Park, then please do. If anybody hasn't done anything like this before, and is unsure about it, feel free to give me a bell, and of course i can happily look after anybody if they felt a little anxious. I am at least tall and hard to loose in a crowd. I certainly won't be trying to convert anyone to any cause, so have no such fears, but i do not apologise for showing my face at events like this, and encouraging others to do the same, or at least being comfortable in themsleves at not doing so, having considered the facts. It would be a rather wonderful thing to have a bit of the sinister massive in full effect on the odd occasion such as this. Pic-nic in hyde park after even??!!! ************DON'T ATTACK IRAQ ( www.stopwar.org.uk ) DEMONSTRATE SAT 28 SEPTEMBER, ASSEMBLE 1pm EMBANKMENT march to Hyde Park. Called by Stop the War Coalition, backed by CND.************* I leant the lady in LA my FAVOURITE B&S T-SHIRT that amidst the odd old band t-shirt redistributing phases (try it - stuff you don't wear ever, makes other people incredibly happy) i've been offered cash for a few times. That must mean i like her a lot. Anyway, skimming over the fact that she's a big B&S fan and members of the parish are linked to our having got to know + spent time with each other, oh and that i also went to the pub in LA with the lovely Rachel Fruitloop... she is not *the* lady of course. Cos that would mean Bappsy boy would be unhappy. and this i believe, is not the case ;) Also skipping over the fact i've had (and still do have) a half written sinister post in my draft folder for longer than i remember... I had been considering how i'd go about writing this. Encouraging any of you lot to come on the demo on saturday in London. Well those of you in the UK or rich enough to be travelling at least. So to end, as started, with somebody else's wise words. I remembered Ian sticking this on the Parish noticeboard ( http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200201/msg00101.html ). I look forward to having him stay this weekend. "everybody's playing a brand new game, now (come on baby, do the armageddon) stockpiling their weapons, apportioning blame, now (come on baby, do the armageddon) using racist rhetoric, fuelling unease its easier than learning your ABCs so come on, come on do the armageddon for me you gotta arm them ships, now c'mon georgie kabul iraq well you'll never bring them ba-ack woah oh woah oh now that you have started, events make a chain, now (cmon baby, do the armageddon) stigmatise the brown folk, call them insane, now (cmon baby, do the armageddon) pick a starving country, a nice sitting duck it'll make it easier to bomb it to fuck c'mon, c'mon do the armageddon for me just blow that mosque to bits, now cmon baby fly out fly back and destroy that peasant's sha-ack move around the floor in the armageddon (cmon baby, do the armageddon) there's not a muslim country we haven't dropped lead on (c'mon baby, do the armageddon) play it nice and easy now, don't lose control where once there was a city there's a gaping hole cmon cmon watch the armageddon with me." love (+ peace) jim PS just to break any other taboos i can think of, i'll mention religion. The London Buddhist centre attempts to defend it's national inter-FWBO buddhist centre six-a-side footy title on sunday, so i'll try not to kick/deflect the ball into anybody's glasses (sorry Stevie T & Ken Chu). See anybody else in London @ London Chickfactor :) PPS i have of course attempted to obey list rules and have not provided a link to an anti-war petition, and kindly suggest comment on in/approriateness of this email be directed to me off list. ta. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Stuart! <Stuart> Yes Anne. <Anne> Why Isobel? <Stuart> Well, It's because grrr I think I'm WAK-ING UP TO US!! <Anne> ahh... so not voting in the interest of the team then? <Anne> Isobel, why Richard??? <Isobel> Hehehehe he tried to bank when there was no money, and that's so silly!! hehe. <Anne> But he answered all his questions correctly! how many questions do you think you've got right Isobel? <Isobel> hehe.. None. <Anne> Correct!! Well at least you can count! <Isobel> I did Chemistry Biology and Maths Anne. <Anne> Did you have a calculator then when you were in school? <Isobel> Yes Anne. <Anne> Did you buy it from WH Bonaparte?? <Isobel> No Anne. <Anne> Maybe you should have studied History instead. <Anne> Well, when the votes are tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote, so Bob, who do you want to get rid of? <Bob> I have to stick with my original vote really so it's gonna be Mick. <Anne> Well Mick, it seems that Bob doesn't like you very much, you ARE the weakest link GOODBYE! * Mick does the walk of shame, blowing a raspberry at the camera (..Inside interview room) <Mick> Ahh, if I were sittin' at home I would have answered that question right straight away, but I just couldn't think when Anne was staring right at me. Ack well I guess I won't be blowing my own trumpet in front of my friends for a while aye. (..Back to studio) <Anne> Round three, over two rounds you have managed to bank the PITIFUL £100 out of the possible £2000, and we're taking a further 10 seconds off the clock and we'll start with the strongest link from the last round, and that's Bob. Let's PLAY.. THEWEAKESTLINK! <Orchestra> DUM DUM DUM DUM... <Anne> Start the clock <Orchestra> DUM DUM! <Anne> Bob, Queen's University is situated in which city in Northern Ireland? <Bob> Belfast! <Anne> Correct!

Stevie, in music production, what is the term used to describe the sound effect created by continuous echo? <Stevie> Reverb! <Anne> Cor-rect!

Richard, which Squeeze single was released in March 1979 and was the first Squeeze single to have reached #2 on UK charts, held off the number 1 spot only by Art Garfunkel's Bright Eyes? <Richard> Cool for Cats! <Anne> Correct! Chris <Chris> Bank! <Anne> The actor Rowan Atkinson played the character of a strange man in a hit TV series and a movie of the same title, the character in question is called Mr what? <Chris> Beans! <Anne> The answer is Mr Bean, but I'll accept Beans. Bob.. <Orchestra> DUM... DUM... DUM DUM <Anne> The time is up, and in that round you have beaten your own SPECTACULAR record LOW by banking only £20 pounds. Who is witless in Seattle? Who is the lord of the dunce? Team, I URGE you to VOTE OFF the WEAKEST LINK. <Jon Briggs> In this round Chris was the strongest link, having banked the most money. For the third round in a row, Isobel was the weakest link, but will the voting follow the facts? <Anne> Time's up, it's time to reveal who YOU think is the WEAKEST LINK! <Orchestra> DUM DUM DUM DUM...

Sinister: jeepers creepers
by shanny jean 26 Sep '02

26 Sep '02

so, the other day i visited the doctor. she told me to return when i was no longer in my Woman's Season for a pelvic exam. she is sort of like the american-woman-doctor version of the crocodile hunter, except she is mellow and looks for "ovarian cysts" instead of "wild crocs." same difference. i am very very nervous about having tools shoved up my uteral cavity. actually, i am very very very nervous. i keep imagining that i get there, spread 'em, and the following occurs. DOC: (in a horrible austrailian accent) Holy crap! Would you take a look at that one! (she reaches in (up?), and pulls.) SHANNY: Ow. DOC: Well... ummm... SHANNY: . DOC: I think we're gonna have to remove it. SHANNY: ...is it really that bad? DOC: Well. Umm. Yes. (pulls out a chainsaw. that's okay, though, because it's Pink and says "Gentle" on it.) SHANNY: !!!! DOC: (Pulls chainsaw cord.) CHAINSAW: Vroooooom! SHANNY!: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHAINSAW: <the sound of chainsaw breaking metal pipes> SHANNY!!!: @!!!!!!!!!!^!!!%#&)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!### DOC: There we go! (Turns off chainsaw...) CHAINSAW: awww... (gentle) DOC: (...reaches into my cavity. pulls out a Tricylcle.) SHANNY: >!< DOC: (nonchalantly) That'll do it! No wonder you felt strange! SHANNY: (a bit sore) (rides tricycle home, dinging the little bell all the way.) i am not a healthy girl. poo poo. love, shanny jean _________________________________________________________________ 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: A question about B & S....
by Javier Garcia 26 Sep '02

26 Sep '02

Hi my dear Sinisters...., I have a question for you all! Has any member of the band joined the list? By the way, did you know that Isobel left the band? :-( A great loss, I think... Well, that's all by now. Take care and, please, listen to (at least) one B&S song every day. That will probably make this world a bit better.

Sinister: A concise dictionary/assistant/HELP! to my ramblings...
by zoe charaktinou 26 Sep '02

26 Sep '02

hi...again...you know...I just read what I had written...I am so silly at times...I never re-read my mails and I just noticed that I wrote : "I know this is horrible but please it's worth it!" What was I thinking??? (ehem...) Anyway, what I meant to say was that I know I shouldn't really 'promote' things on the list but the THIS IS NORMAL people could do with our help because they are not a fancy goup of djs they just want to listen to some good music and they want to play some good music and it's very sad that so few people know about their gigs in a big city like Birmingham.... Also, this: "I had the best time in a bar in the UK ince I came here 3 years ago." meant that their gig was so good that it's the firts time after three years of living in the UK that I had such a great time in a bar/club/pub... these are all the points that were problematic from what i have noticed but anyway who am i to say what's ok since i wrote the previous email in the first place. I'll go now.. bye.. z ----------------------------------------------- " Passivity in life, in politics, is problematic: it means acquiescing to a status quo that damages people along class,gender, racial, sexual and other lines."

GO GO GO!!!!The people who organise this are excellent and unfortunately not many people know of it and it's such a shame because they might not be able to continue for long. I had the best time in a bar in the UK ince I came here 3 years ago..for further detals go to www.thisisnormal.co.uk and read their playlist-which OF COURSE- includes B&S and YES!!! they did play B&S when I went there because THEY ALWAYS DO SO!!!!! They are the first EVER people in the UK since I came who actually played B&S. And OH YES!!! I danced to it...so there! AAAAAAAAAAANYAWY!!! LEEDS HERE I COME... I have finished the first degree, yes I am a BAHONS now and I am moving on to do an MA this year in Leeds University. I live in a little old flat behind the Leeds Uni Business School-for those who know- and I pay £400 ^&*(*%$*(!@ for just 2 rooms-bedroom/kitchen...sniffles... so...i am all alone here-i probably shouldn't say that but...- and I was wandering if there are any Sinister people here in Leeds- which is Tropical in its own way... Not being poetic or anything, these were my news... Lots of love and sinister kisses...

Sinister: paRadise iS foR the bLesseD noT foR tHe sEx-oBsesSed...

Hello the sinister, How are you all? it's been a while... a long while... I wonder what's been happening to all my friends, the ones i've not been in touch lately... so many things have happened, so many things have changed... From London and with a ticket for Glasgow - where i was supposed to move in with Ruvi and Paul and later on, StayC - i ended up with a ticket for thessaloniki, greece, on the same day i was supposed to be on the plane to glasgow; instead of flying north we were flying south... We looked at each other, Ruvi and I, smiled and held hands.... it'd be alright, we'd be fine... we came back here, pennyless, dissapointed, but optimistic nevertheless... we had each other and my job at the university was still waiting for me due to some schemes of mine... What we hadn't taken in mind was the tricks life plays sometimes, all these turns... we're coping though... I came back to work here and Ruvi's going to teach english and go to the uni here... spooky-the-dog is very happy in our new house overlooking the river and she's going to have puppies since we found the right husband for her... I still ride on my scooter everyday to come to work, listening to music and observing people as i ride by them... Belle and Sebastian played in Athens... we didn't make it as we couldn't really afford it and i wasn't well enough to go all the way to athens... unfortunately, as from what i've heard it was a bloody amazing gig! I don't know... my most fave gig is still the one in RAH even tho some people might not agree... mmm I was thinking today as i was riding here that there are some great houses in Volos... an old house with ochre painted walls and dark green windows... beautiful... I was thinking of Idles' post... I liked it... it was honest and touching, especially if you're a girl since every girl i know has been through an ordeal like that at least once in her life... I was thinking of Sally Moore... HaPPy BiRthDay SaLLy!!! Belated, i know, but happy many returns nevertheless!! I was thinking of Elena and how we've drifted away through distance and some stupid misunderstandings... I love Elena... I was thinking of the PF and that i'm missing his posts... where are you the PineFox? I've been missing you... I was thinking of daddyMoore and his posts... I was thinking of StayC and that she's finally made it to Glasgae... I hope you're all settled my StayC and you'll visit us so we can RaP together again my hommie, ghetto bitch, man!! I was thinking of IF, my most fave film and how this magazine - how is it called, i forgot - this music magazine anyway, had an article about it and about the whole trilogy: If, Oh Lucky Man, and Hospital Brittania! Who'd have expected that! You know how you feel once one of your most favourite things, that you thought only you and some other few knew and loved, gets all this attention and publicity... you feel robbed... I saw that bloke at the street the other day and thought it was Robert B.! where are you Rob? I was thinking of Carey and that "when your life is kits you're a PUNKA"... my Carey's hits, though, don't miss... but she's still a PUNKA!!P-U-N-K-A- And I'm thinking that I owe Paulie an email so i'd better bugger off and go write to him... sorry my Paulie-Canelloni! Ok... I'd better go now... HoNeY!! I bloody MISS YOU!!! I'll call soon... take care the lot of you... and remember, Autumn is the best season of All...
