Sinister: Beautiful music makes crazy bees land in a stable (5,3,9)
by terry underwear 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

hello everybody, i thought i should take some time out of my busy "riding about on koalas, drinking Fosters and being attacked by Great White Sharks" schedule to post. First up, a hefty chunk of content. I was drinking in a pub while on holiday recently. In the corner of the pub stood at TV. The TV was tuned into Sky Channel, which shows all those lovely gentlemanly sports like boxing, wrestling, snooker and horse racing. All of a sudden my ears were pricked by a very familiar tune. "That's Belle and Sebastian!" I said loudishly. People looked at me blankly. I blushed. The music was coming from the telly, and I was kind of surprised to find that "Legal Man" was being used in an advert for a New Zealand horse racing show. How bizarre I thought. A few people have been writing about B&S songs recently. My favourite is "Beautiful" at the moment. The quietly strummed acoustic guitar, Stuart's lovely voice and the way it wavers ever so slightly at the end of the first chorus, the Robert Kirby-ish strings, and then the trumpet that makes me want to yell "hey everybody, come and listen to Belle and Sebastian with me!" Robin Stout said his Mum says "brill". My Mum has just started using the word "cool". It is a little disturbing. ~stine has a nice list of things to do. I share 3 of that list - learning to knit, wearing bracelets and reading Ulysses properly. My Mum has just showed me how to knit, so I am going to make a scarf for winter (which is still 5 months away for us Southern Hemispherites). I am going to accessorise more this year, mainly in the form of braclets and cufflinks. ian's idea of an ink polaroid day is great. i think the metric system is way better than the imperial system. i just got back to perth after a holiday in esperance. it was a grand holiday, with lots of swimming, sand-castle making, laziness, fishing, island hopping, reading and hiking. I made like Jack Kerouac and sprinted down a couple of mini-mountains. Japhy was right in saying that you can't fall of a mountain. The Go-Between's are playing in Perth on the 15th of February! I know a few of you Perth folk are going, so would anyone be interested in having a pre-gig picnic/pubnic? I'll even organise it if you like. Just let me know... i'm off for a haircut. terry --- here's what i think: http://naivetysucceeds.blogspot.com caitlin and terry's sinister recipe tree archives: http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/sinifood/ _____________________________________________________________ Get 25MB, POP3, Spam Filtering with LYCOS MAIL PLUS for $19.95/year. http://login.mail.lycos.com/brandPage.shtml?pageId=plus&ref=lmtplus +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Problems And Dilemmas Of An Indiekid.
by a.s.t.r.i.d＠nme.com 30 Jan '03

30 Jan '03

Hey Sinisterians, Hope you're alright. I am. Sort of. Just very, very hungry, hadn't have any proper breakfast. When you're an indiekid, and I have to admit that I actually am one, having purchased new converse chuck taylor's only a week ago. Yesterday, I scored pretty high on the indiekid-fashion-scale: Jeans, black velvet jacket, home-made t-shirt with a print saying the libertines, and of course, my new shoes. Today, not quite as indie. Red nail polish and homemade bracelets sure, but just a striped top and a sort of track suit top on. Hmmm. have to improve wardrobe. My new English teacher is the best teacher I've ever had, I think. He's really cool. He drinks water out of a glass jar, and eat this weird porrage rightout of the package because he never have time to eat properly on the days when we have him. He's cool and arty. I really do like him. My "new" school, is full of one thing that keeps confusing me. Gorgeous men. And I'm not talking about the students here. I don't know why but there are like five or six really goodlooking men that teach here. Do you know how hard it is not getting crushes on all of them? Right. So I just have a crush on one of them, and flirt with the others. Man, I AM sick. But I'm a bit bored, a girl has to do SOMETHING! Stop looking at me accusingly..! ANYWAY. I've been in a musicvideo since the last time I was around here. It was a Swedish band called The Sounds, they're really big here. We got to dance in front of a camera for about six hours in a very small, crowded boiling hot room. it was great fun though, and I didn't do anything TOO embarrassing that showed in the video. The guy directing it was really funny. After we all danced the first time, we were all sort of nervous so everyone just jumped. The director comes out. "Ok guys, that looked good. just.. try not to look as dead fishes. ok?" www.vertigo.dot.nu, my page under construction. Only the first three things are finished though. But still. There are some pics there of me. Er.... if anyone cares. it's fun going to an English school. I really like calling people Mr and Mrs and Ms. It's so... ah... non-Swedish. In my old school we were so incredibly rude to the poor old teachers. It was like "OI! Help me now Janne! NOW!" here it's more "Um, excuse me Mr Theo, could you please help me?". It's so nice going all somewhere where people are polite. The funniest thing might be the principal, Mrs Bergström. She walks around saying "HELLOOOOO LADIIIIIES!" and if you're not looking like you might die out of stress she goes "You look RELAAAAXED" and then one of her weird smiles. Hmmmm. Anyway, won't take up more of your time now. Ahhh, It's good to be back. Someone has to make sure that the list is full of useless rambling. and that person is me! Take care darlinkos, Love and stars Astrid X P.S. Indiekidproblem: Indiegirls are supposed to only like pale indieboys. But what happens when indiegirl starts fancying very hunky p.e-teacher instead of pale scrawny indieboy? CONFUSION my dears. Ah. Problem #2 is that he heard me calling him "So fucking sexy that I just wanna jump him or something". Highly embarrassing. Sigh. Byebye now. --------------------------------------------------- Who would you rather be - Ted Danson or Kevin Costner? Fab: Who the fuck is Ted Dancer? Ted Danson. Fab: Oh, Danson.

Sinister: Hong Girl Kong Time (HK sinis come out and play)
by Kenneth P Y Chu 30 Jan '03

30 Jan '03

Laurel Lemming was not fair when she enticed us with the idea of her stroking it to the tigermilk album cover. No doubt we'll soon hear tales of other sinister hotties Shuffling the B&S Playing Cards, Five-Knuckles-Stylee. Or has Brian McNeill already done so? It doesn't do your back any good you know. -- Anyway yes after some bizaree twists and turns since my last e-mail I've managed to... 1. GET ON TV ============ which was quite nice! Yet sinister emailing goes on... It was tempting to say "It's not you it's me, but I've been on TV now so I'm unsubscribing innit besides you lot weren't used to be such scumbags but now you are innit". It seems the hip thing to do. I was on TV THREE TIMES, apparently, and each time looking like a prick trying to look out for the camera. 2. TRAVEL EUROPE ================ Yeah man! For the first time too! I was in Frankfurt, Germany for THIRTY MINUTES! Such thrill has only been experienced the first time I've been to paradise, and then find out that I've never been to me. What am I talking about. But yeah I enjoyed it so much I plan to go and visit again in two week's time! This time I might even swallow a Frankfurter whole. Hey! That's not a Frankfurter as in someone who is from Frankfurt, just the jumbo sausage. 3. END UP IN HONG KONG ====================== After being crammed on a plane full of hottt girls (and of course I was surrounded not by the hottt girls but by three horrid men Mr Farter-Warter to my front, Mr I-Like-Leaning-Excessively-to-the-Right to my left and Mr I-Love-Fiddling-With-the-flip-out-table-aggressively on the seat behind, they have very descriptive last names!!), I got there in the end! And wow it's been fun, so much fun that I can't even mention now but maybe reporting back later... -- HK SINISTERS So it just leaves me to ask if there are any other Hong Kong sinisters around and if you fancy a pint or two! Think a few of us (er 3 so far) are maybe going out on sunday...

Sinister: The End is Well-Nigh
by Jay Eckard 30 Jan '03

30 Jan '03

Sinister Folk: I just wanted to mention again that the Valentine's Day Massacre registration (oooh errr, sounds official don't it?) ends soon, as in 31 January. If you still want to participate, send me your name, address, whether you want to be a boy or girl, whether you want to send to a boy or girl, and if you want to mail around the world or merely within your own country (if so, you are a CHEEP BASTARD*). Disturbingly, the greatest response has been amongst Australians. I fully expect people from Britian or possibly America, but I'd even settle from some icey Scandanavian country, to put this to rights, or there may well be a violent Austrailian coup on Sinister. I mean, as in twisted black frame glasses, ripped courduroy, and too-tight tees everywhere. I, for one, do not fancy riding about on koalas, drinking Fosters or having being attacked by Great White Sharks.** And I refuse to keep it in my pants, Kangaroo Boys.*** In other news, it has been rumored that I sleep with a copy of Nalda Said under my pillow and next to my stuffed Dalek. This is obvious piffle, as anyone who has ever seen by bedroom would know****. The few hours a night I pass out, I sleep with a copy of "the Complete works Of Byron" under my head and clutching my stuffed Jon Pertwee teddy, complete with frilly shirt, velvet jacket and leather boots. Duh. Jay, know as GayJay, also called l'Autre Jay***** *Being cheep doesn't /necessarily/ make you a bad person, but it does suggest it. **As we know from the popular media, these are the daily Antipodean activities. ***Though I wouldn't mind listening to the Lucksmiths. ****This number, sadly, is low. If you're cute, and a boy, I'll be more than happy to let you help change that. *****I hope this settles some confusion. -- "The Posby falls into a Trance In which it does a little Dance."

Sinister: WWDPD?
by Laura Llew 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

I've decided to keep up my regular weekly posting to Sinister even when no one has questioned my virtuousness lest I inadvertently set a precedent of only speaking up when someone insults me or insinuates that I might actually stoop low enough to do something like k-i-s-s a b-o-y. Archel hardly needs an excuse to start yelling, "Bow to the queen of slime, the queen of filth, the queen of putrescence!" as it is, much less just to get my attention. I actually meant to write this yesterday but I was busy with two houseguests. Yes, I'm all about eating pancakes which they've made for me, or waiting on them as they wash my car or take it to get its oil changed, or picking out which color of paint (tea green) that they are to buy so they can paint my room. This hosting thing is so involved and I'm just plum worn out. Thus, I shall keep this short and snappy (the opposite of me) with only two semi-sinister related tidbits. The first is that Stuart David's Nalda Said is finally being released in the US in April of this year for the mere price of $14.95. Previously it was just published by Independent Music Press but now Turtle Point Press is putting out an edition for the twee US population. For the record, the cover on this edition is HEINOUS. I shall scan it in at some point and link it in my next post so it can haunt your sleep as well. However, there is a picture of Sir David looking all cute and glazed eye on the back cover which well makes up for the front. I like how they act as if he still is the bass player for b&s instead of it being past tense. They also go into how b&s were voted the "Best British Newcomer" and called "the new Smiths" before they ever get around to mentioning Looper. Of course, they ended the whole blurb with how the book has been translated and received excellent reviews in both Italy and Germany so perhaps they were just desperate. I quite liked the orange book which I received from twee Dannypie, read, sighed, and promptly passed on to GayJay. This isn't confirmed but rumor has it that Jay sleeps with it under his pillow beside a stuffed Dalek which he received as a Christmas present back in 1989. Or at least this is the scenario which I like the best. The second book blip has to do with a new book written by Will Self which is a retelling of Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray with all of the original's characters mutated into modern day counterparts. Thus, Henry Wotton is an open homosexual with a nasty heroin habit and his protegee is a video artist. Naturally (or unnaturally I suppose), all of the three main characters are HIV positive and the novel is more of an examination on gay life as it "skewers" British society and is full of lines like, "I want my sins to be like sushi - fresh, small, and entirely raw." Personally, I don't ever plan to touch the book but the summary was my afternoon's amusement - mwahaha. Well, I'm at the bookshop now so I suppose I ought to get back to helping the dark eyed dwarven creatures from the underground who still brave the light of day in order to buy the new Robert Jordan book before they try something desperate to get my attention - like talk to me. Heaven forfend. xo, Ll ps - Don't trust Miss Maddie Minx for a second about her being busy with schoolwork. I know for a fact that whe she says "I have to spend all day on the computer typing my paper" she means "I have to spend all day being distracted from my paper by googling old boyfriends." pps - I made another roadtrip up north last week and stayed with Miss Laurel and Willzebub Porter in the lovely hamlet of Jersey City again. She didn't make me grout her bathroom, refurbish any of her furniture, or paint any rooms but it was still a cozy stay replete with fantastic chili which I had been craving all day. _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: smart spam protection and 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: focks in the snow
by Christine Irene 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

hi everyone. here i am again, on mars. it's funny that here, the fact that i have 3 eyes seems to work to my advantage. okay, so maybe i'm not really on mars....but sometimes i sure would like to go. i have reached a strange point in my life. i'm not sure who has changed more, my friends or me, but nevertheless i find that i don't really care for many of them anymore. weird. there seem to be some tre cool people at my new skewl, perhaps i will get on with them. speaking of my new skewl. i registered on saturday. how nervewracking. not only is it a HUGE financial commitment, but it seems so final. as if now that i have declared a major, i have to grow up or something. it's also funny that i am, if not the only, one of the only girls in my school. :o) i'm not sure how i feel about this. i mean, sure, the odds are in my favour, but it's also strange being the only girl in a pack of blokes. you tend to become the female perspective in discussions that you would rather not have with a group of men you don't know very well. blokes are strange things in packs...ed o'brien said that. he is the most lovely man, he would know i guess. if i may put your fears at rest i will tell you now, when i am exceedingly successful, i plan to take you all with me. when i am on professional par with the likes of paul mcguinness, i won't forget you. pehaps i can manage b&s one day and arrange one mutha of a picnic. of course, i will be very wealthy and will pay for all of you lovelies to join in the festivities. ah yes, just be patient. "When I'm rich, I hope I'm not mean to poor people...like I am now." :o) i have compiled a little list of things i must do this year...shall i share it with you? okay: 1) Meet Gavin Friday 2) Finish school 3) Learn how to knit 4) start cooking again...haven't done so in ages 5) Start practicing the guitar again..."" 6) Remember to take my vitamins daily..."" 7) Buy more pink shirts 8) Stop falling for boys who encapsulate any of the following traits; live across the atlantic ocean, are in their 40's, are addicted to something, are people whom i have never, nor am likely to ever, meet (excluding gavin friday), are in bands (grrr), and are gay. 9) Wear more bracelets 10) Actually read Ulysses....as opposed to always meaning to that's about it for now. i must get started on my list. love to you all...well, most of you. kisses and corn pops ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: Do you realise that you have the most beautiful face?
by Ivone Rebelo 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

It's strange how life works. How one mention of one band can rip me away from reclusive pensive thought and can plunge me into a new, entirely active intellectual world. I've known of Belle and Sebastian since 1998,however I never really explored the band in depth. I live in Australia,where B+S, if mentioned, is usually greeted with a quizzical frown. The band is truly underground, spread by word of mouth. At least, where I live. What inspired me to rediscover the band was a quick flash. At work, while we were deciding what CD's to play, I saw a red flash. A girl was flipping quickly through her CD case, deciding what to put on. I was shocked that she was shocked that we were both amazed about knowing Belle and Sebastian. That red flash was Sinister. Now here I am on the Sinister mailing list 3 months on. She apparently found out about B+S from an American guy she dated about a year ago, and I found out about B+S from some British guy I knew. I think that is what makes B+S so unique for me as a band, is that they are not in the public. I've never seen a video clip, I've never heard them played on the radio. I've been to the official websites and found scant information. No real in-depth interviews, no indication of who they really are*. Anyway, that is my experience of B+S, that is my image of them. I'm sure there are a lot of you who would immediately disagree, and I'd be interested to know how you all see them. Even how they see themselves. The posting by Dimitra Daisy (V4 #966) really struck a chord. Her experience of the world is fascinating. Until reading it, I never truly knew that there are people that think in the same way as I do in the world. It was comforting somehow, and altogether "an illusion caused by the world spinning 'round" (F.L. ref.). I liked the way she views change. However what she leaves behind as old is what I begin as new. So hello to all of you, and thanks for at least skimming through my very first entry! >From Ivone (or Ivonski amongst friends). ivone_rebelo(a)hotmail.com.au *the exception being Stuart's diary from the band website.

Sinister: picnic update
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

STOP PRESS (a nonsensical command on an e-mailing list come to think of it): I am now WORKING (ughhhhhhhh what!?) on Saturday 22nd February, so I am strongly leaning towards the following Saturday instead for the seaside jollies. It will be the 1st March too, which is a) St David's Day so there's a slim excuse for celebration (especially but not exclusively if you're Welsh) and b) it's the beginning of a new month, one that almost sounds like spring. Which means that it will NOT rain, snow or spew bizarre jizz from the sea. Also, I am just going to keep saying dates until Miss Maddie says she can come. I can't organise a picnic without her there to bitch with and decide when it's time for a nice cup of tea. I like the idea of Monday being Ink Polaroid Day very much. I will even try to participate, though I have to make sure the old mental camera has film in it. Love Archel xxx PS.

Sinister: Oh the snot has caked upon my pants
by Madeleine McNeil 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

Laurel Lemming's Subject: Twee Stroke. Mark C and Archel to thread! I still love you Sinister, even though I keep flirting with other people and not giving you enough attention. Most evenings I have a headache, but sometimes I just want to be alone. And then there's the times that I have to read long essays for school. Not just read them, but UNDERSTAND them and write responses. That means I can't cheat and pretend, which is my normal style of learning. This week, I went to see LOVE with Arthur Lee and it was one of the toppermost gigs I've been to. I think there's still a few UK dates left of the tour and I must urge you to seek them out. They played the whole of the Foreverchanges album (that Lawrence Mikkleson sent me ages ago when I was a Sinister spring chicken), complete with strings and brass. Hearing them play Alone Again Or sent wonderful shivers all up and down. Then Arthur Lee played some of his new material (which, according to a recent interview with NME, he thinks is the best stuff he's ever written) and holy crap! but it was hilariously bad. The band were smirking. The lyrics went something like this: Bye bye America Bye Bye Bye You made me love you But you made me cry I went to Scotland I couldn't refuse I went to Scotland I couldn't refuse (instrumental break: sounds like some Scottish Highland Fling type thing played by trombone and trumpets) Bye bye America.... Awful awful awful. But still, a wondeful night. Archel's proposing a picnic, is she? I can't go but FINE, see if I care! I'm going to Liverpool for a dirty weekend with a hott lecturer (trans: there's a conference and my lecturer will be there and she will bother me about my dissertation, sigh when I disappoint her once again, tell me to work harder, then we will both leave alone). But please, go in my place. Drink my pints of lager. Laugh at Mark C falling in the sea for me. Fall over on Archel's head in my place. Ben Apps won't be attending, I imagine, so find another boy to cover in Urban Decay glitter-tastic make up. Oh, and thanks to everyone for doing their thing in the Christmas Exchange. Special thanks to Featherboa and Dirty Vicar for my presents. And thank you to GayJay for my special gift. It's beautiful.
