Sinister: she's a simple person not as young as she looks , but whoever is in this day and age
by Jonathan Skinner 19 Oct '03

Salve my dear anti-dextra hope all is well in the lives etc etc of you all. First a favour then back to meanderings of the little mind of me. myself and another sinister are heading to London on December 3rd for the gig of the b+s ( a bit of a mad trip involving flights of only 1 great european cent, from Cork , getting to london about 11 and leaving the next morning on the 0730) My favour is quite a simple one really. Where the hell is the astoria? is it the centre of the universe? does the whole tube system revolve around it? well any information would be greatly appretiated as i don't want to spend my one day (23 hours really) wandering around trying to find it. our theory is after gig if there isn't any club nights or whatever is to go around and do all the major sights AT NIGHT seeing as i have never seen them in the day i think it would be a nice introduction. Another administrative issue. It has been drawn to my attention that someone is heading over to our emerald shores for a little "vacation" so i propose a meetup of the irish sinister massive. i think there is about 8 of us now but i reckon with a bit of forward planning it could be accomplished for it to take place in neutral country (galway perhaps) ( neither dublin nor the peoples republic) failing that we could just drink ourselves silly in Keoghs'. suggestions anyone? so i finally got the new album and i must say it is growing on me. it isn't one of these albums that grabs you and you can't not listen to it. rather i am seeing beauty in many of the songs ( except that bloody roy walker). I think aside from the obvious track that doesn't need to be named wrapped up in books is a great song and the title track is rather good as well. Uni so far is great , i just hate the whole student society malarky. i am just there to learn not to drink myself stupid with people i don't know ( i managed to do that quite well on friday afternoon with people that i did know then went on to spend money i didn't have at a record fair held upstairs. a bit of a mistake i think to put drink and records in the same building , my two great loves together at last. right i am off to practice my affectations ta ta jnthn +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: as a hobby it's sad
by Joanne Hill 19 Oct '03

19 Oct '03

Hello Sinister lovelies, Recently I've been thinking about my place in Sinister, why I'm here, what my relevancy is to the list and what it means to me, whether I'm valid here or should I even be here. I joined - coming to up 12 months ago - because I was feeling a little isolated where I was, because I was enjoying the novelty of 24 hr net access for the first time, and cause it seemed like a cool thing, this Belle and Seb community. But recently I'd been thinking about how much of a B&S fan I am/was, when I joined up. I thought, why should I be here? I don't know nearly as much about B&S, or love them as much, as many other people. With all this talk of middle kids and old people, I still felt new, like i'd just joined. A bit scared, like. I only got IYFS this year. (Yes, slapped wrist) But, for the first time, I bought a B&S CD brand new on the day it came out. I unwrapped it and listened to it on the bus from Coventry to uni, a bumpy journey trying to read the sleeve notes and giving up cos I was too engrossed in the songs. I'm still getting used to it. I won't talk about what i think of it - I think my opinion has been coloured by reading too much on Sinister and Bowlie about what others think. And I've been able, in lumping the two together, to think that there is something of meaning added to me and my life by being involved in these things - away from the computer feeling a sense of detachment but also of belonging, something great that I know about that people I meet, don't. I'm not entirely sure what it is I'm trying to say. B&S have been a constant *thing* when nothing else has seemed constant. On Thursday i went to the Colloseum in Coventry, Offbeat night, I was DJing, but before that I was sat talking to some Offbeat people about B&S, having a discussion of the new album, Sarah and Isobel and their songs on the albums. And it struck me that I *do* know a lot about the band - yes much of it I've learnt from being here the last year, but if this is a band that i know and am willing to learn about, I must be some sort of fan, and must have some sort of claim to being here. I played LLPJ that night. People danced. I sang and later lost my voice cos I had fresher's flu. I found that the best time to read posts is 2am, they just seem to have much more of a life affirming, poetic feel to them then. I can go - yes. Especially this last week. I can't name names...I've kept some of them....whoever has posted this week knows who they are. This isn't meant to be some sort of, 'Sinister, you're great!' post. Just a, this is what I've been thinking about lately. Last month I went to Sheffield Offbeat, and met some cute little Sinisterettes. I hope they are doing well wherever they are. The train thru the Peaks was lovely and well worth the many changes. It's almost one whole tunnel all the way from Dore to Stockport. Then a quick glimpse of a hill, dark brown and craggy, all shiny and untouched, sweeping by. Anyway that was then, and now I'm in Warwick again, I have a view of trees from my window, and crisp dry fallen leaves. Sorry I cant be more poetic and life affirming myself, Joanne While I wrote this I listened to: Low 'Trust' and Yeah Yeah Yeah 'Maps' _________________________________________________________________ Find a cheaper internet access deal - choose one to suit you. http://www.msn.co.uk/internetaccess +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I was CHU, KEN on a (RACHEL) CORNFLAKE...
by Rachel fruitloop-Apps 18 Oct '03

18 Oct '03

"...You said have some (ARCHEL) TOAST instead." har har! Hiya Sinister! I think Stuart is singing about Ken getting it on with all the Sinister Rachels in "Stay Loose"... (or maybe that's just my secret fantasy...) I'm really excited that there is so much talk about DICKWANK, so I thought I'd add my own 2 CENTS. (Yes, Bapps, I still have 2P!) Ian Watson said: "The fact that, as Senor Chu pointed out at our recent coffee morning, it's actually a nod to Thin Lizzy's cover of "Whiskey In The Jar", which goes "I'll have a whiskey in the jar-o" makes it even better. Do you see? How many levels? It's working on? That's right: two." It's actually 3 levels if you count a feature that my beloved Benjamin pointed out, that the song is called "I'm A Cuckoo" and cuckoo birds are known for stealing parts of other birds' nests and making them their own. Much like B&S nicked bits from Thin Lizzy for this tribute. Clever! Also, I am excited because Stuart talks about his brilliant photographer friend in Boston named Marissa in the liner notes of DICKWANK, and I got to meet her at the show in LA in September. She is the girl in new B&S photos with the towel around her head, reading. Very cute and so nice! love, RAPPS (RACHEL FRUITLOOP-APPS) P.S. Brier said short posts are the new long posts. I think he's on to something. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

Sinister: It's good, but it's not right
by steve peet 18 Oct '03

18 Oct '03

Hey guys It's been a while since my last post... a LONG while, but I've just been hiding... New album and all that, so thought it was about time I emerged from the lurkness for a brief moment. My first impression wasn't that great to be honest, it feels like the soundtrack to some bizarre musical, where the main gist of the story is about people being bullied at school or the office and coming home to watch Catchphrase (it is that Roy Walker right?) but I'm reserving judgement for now, hopefully it will grow on me. Looking forward to geting my mits on this 'Fans Only' DVD, guess I'll have to buy a telly and a DVD player though... they should have some king of fund for technologically challenged fans. Maybe I can get my laptop upgraded? Many thanks to those of you of a London persuasion whom I bumped in to the other night at the Aislers Set et al gig - so nice to see you all again. Despite having moved away I was so touched that I will endevour to keep in touch more often now. Great gig by the way... it made me sooo happy, (ask Mark C!) I still feel kind of floaty... Right, mother's back from her cross-stitch class in a minute so I'd better brew up (I did offer to buy her a motorbike in the hope that she's spend her retirement a bit more rebelliously, but to no avail).

Sinister: i was feeling like a loser
by ian 18 Oct '03

18 Oct '03

you said, 'hey, you've still got me'. i cried, and then laughed hysterically. it wasn't the reaction you wanted. friday night: its a tired night, after a hard day. i wish this computer was private, and i could tell you everything that is in my head. there's a lot there, waiting to tumble out, and i'm scared that its all going to come falling out when i'm not expecting it. somewhere its too late to pull it all back. this e-mail will be random. again. i was going to start my post like this: dear sinister, why oh why oh why has a perfectly marvellous month's sinister reading been spoiled by the absolute absence of my favourite entertainment? i refer, of course, to the knob gag. i used to tune into sinister every day, secure in the knowledge that, at some point, somebody would say something rude about willies. for weeks now, there has been nothing. even the (usually reliable) mr. ken chu appears to be resting on his laurels. there was also an unacceptable absence of random swear-words in his most recent effort. this really isn't the sort of thing i've come to expect from your --- but i'm glad i didn't start my post like that. that is silly. and you probably wouldn't like it. i wouldn't send you that sort of crap. some of the following is true: a long, long time ago, i wrote a letter to belinda carlisle. i felt she'd misled me. after several years, and an absolute fortune in taxi fares, it had become abundantly apparent that there is not, actually, a place on earth called Heaven. she didn't reply for a while. i thought she was ignoring me, like luke perry did when i sent him all those plaster-casts of my knob (see... its not hard..) but it turns out she was just saving herself up. here's the reply. 'dear ian, i'm terribly sorry to have heard of your troubles. it is, i have to admit, perfectly true that there is not a place on earth called heaven (unpleasant clubs in london aside). the song i wrote was originally differently titled. after a very pleasant weekend on the south coast i composed a song called 'HOVE is a place on earth'. however, the record company decided it wasn't attention-grabbing enough and they changed my lyrics. this may seem like a terrible abuse, and constriction of artistic freedom, but it happens all the time. norman cook's song 'fatboy slim is cooking in devon' was radically re-worked by the company, who felt that a ditty detailing the joy of culinary pursuits to be indulged in in the town of paignton was somehow a little un-sexy. similarly, you may remember a band called daisy chainsaw from many years ago, who hit the charts with the oddly entitled 'love your money'. i can confirm that a 'k' was left out of the third word by an industry who felt that the world wasn't ready for upbeat pop songs about bestiality. i hope the enclosed gift makes up for some of the trouble you have been to'. with the letter, there's a book called 'great myths of rock and roll'. the first page is interesting - 'how yoko ono broke up the beatles'... i may share it with you later. anyway... other things. i was going to talk about the new album, but i see that's been covered. you don't need another mail extolling the virtues of 'stay loose' or detailing the horrors of 'roy walker' (please, stop him singing on albums... bring back isobel. all is forgiven. except 'family tree' - i'm with the duke of harringay on that one). let's just say that its a lovely surprise to find myself saying that i really, really like it. most of it. its unfortunate that two of the worst tracks are used as openers. untraditional, too. usually, you entice people in with the good stuff and then sock 'em with the crap once they're softened up. trust belle and sebastian to do it differently. that was a lot of not talking about the album, wasn't it? oh, i wish my head was in a better place. i wanted this to be witty, and to make sense. but it probably never will. some of you might be disappointed if i started making sense. some of you, i suppose, would be thoroughly relieved. a while ago, vanilla flavoured david talked about middle kids. i'm proud to join this group of sinisterines. i vote we talk about each other as much as the oldies do, look, like this.. 'a post by dimitra DAISY. isn't that SOMETHING? i thought she'd left the LIST' yeah, that'd be great. we could make badges 'i'm a middle kid. love me, or fuck off' something along those lines. waddya think? or...should we stop gazing at our navels and embrace the present? your decision.. blue fluff...always blue fluff... actually, there might be something to be said for vanishing into your own navel. it'd be very safe there. i asked you all to talk about wind-up nuns. you didn't. its a shame. there's lost potential there. rask did a lovely long e-mail where he said: when I'm asked what kind of women I like I maintain that I like "girls that drop cups in cafes". It's the feeling that they are slightly inept at their jobs, my friend suggested. That perhaps they are inept because they do something else, perhaps, though, they're just inept. i find it much easier to love something that isn't quite right, someone that's a little imperfect, shy, difficult - than someone who is superslick. i think that's why a lot of us are here, isn't it? once upon a time, b&s spoke up for that sort of person, more than anyone else. the smiths may have been witty and cruel, and clever, but they didn't drop cups in cafes. by contrast, its easy to imagine isobel stooping down and picking up the pieces of china. sometimes, i think that's what we've lost. 'lord anthony' might have been the last gasp... the b&s sound is still there on the album, but the fragility was beautiful too. saturday morning: things often feel better in the morning, although nothing has changed, except the sun. i think the point i was trying to make above is that belle and sebastian took that awkwardness and celebrated it. turned it into something almost heroic. these days they're still heroic, just not heroically awkward any more. ken talked about steven hewitt porn. try www.carsmilewithoutyou.co.uk and www.isthatacarsmileinyourpocketorareyoujustpleasedto no, that's rubbish. let's have a COMPETITION! who can come up with the best title for such a page? i've got the photos, if you need 'em * lawrence talked about an article detailing b&s references in the bible, and thinking we wouldn't be interested. actually, speaking purely for myself, that's exactly the sort of b&s-anorak thing i'd enjoy reading. put it down to being a librarian. speaking of which, where IS archel playforth these days? so..with that in mind - i won't be plugging friends of the heroes here again, but i think some of you may enjoy the b&s issue. here's a link to a typically anoraky piece by johan - a who's who of the songs, which made me giggle: http://www.friendsoftheheroes.co.uk/archive/issue51.html#2 like i said, i won't be doing that again, but that article is the sort of thing that cries out to be read by B&S saddos err...that is devotees.. like ourselves. anyway, just this once, i think its acceptable to link to a b&s article on a b&s list. i wanted to tell you about other things, but i can't remember what they were, so with that in mind, i'll just finish with an article from the book i'm now reading great rock n roll myths #1 - yoko ono broke up the beatles. it was a rainy night in the late 60s, a little while before the split happened for real. john and yoko were relaxing in bed, as they rather enjoyed doing. paul was composing a ditty downstairs ("'tum tum te tum' or 'tum te tum ta'?"). george was meditating with ravi 0shankar in the bath tub. ringo was eating wagon wheels and playing with his train set. it had been a hard day in practice. none of them were really on speaking terms, and yoko's presence hadn't helped. it wasn't that they resented her creative input, it was that she kept pinching things from the studio. the beatles, ahead of their time, were very into recycling. they had saved up all their milk bottles, and put them in a pile by the door, ready to take to presto the next morning. yoko, being an anarchist-troublemaker, decided they would look better for her art installation. after a day or so of tensions over the disappearing items, the beatles had refused to practice any more and had gone their separate ways. yoko, meanwhile had continued to work on her art. her new piece 'mother's milk' would be a feature at a posh new york gallery, as soon as she'd finished it. it would feature 100 bottles, many of them smashed, some of them containing unpleasant substances. the critics would either love it, or dismiss it, depending on who they were being paid by. it was paul who discovered the consequences of yoko's crime. john and yoko were singing to each other about paper bags. george was sitting in the sink with the buddha. ringo was eating bananas and stroking his beard when, suddenly, a scream echoed around the house... 'oh no, i don't BELIEVE it. YOKO ONO BROKE UP THE BOTTLES!' and it stuck. to this day, everyone blames yoko. including paul, who never quite got over the environmental consequences of her actions. next, chapter #2. marianne faithfull and her ma's bar. well, don't you live and learn, eh? probably not. i'm too old to be spouting such shit, but still i spout it. i'm a middle kid, love me or fuck off. i don't really mean that. its just a slogan. i'll go back to my melted toblerone xx ian +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Chicago picnic ideas?
by laurel lemming 18 Oct '03

18 Oct '03

dear Chicago Sinisters, please email me offlist so we can not invoke the wrath of the rest of the list if you would be interested in some "picnic antics," as Shanny Jean put it. I guess I'm becoming the picnic mummy, since no one else has stepped up. I'm thinking about either Pick Me Up Cafe near Belmont, where we had the picnic in May 2002, or Congress Pizzeria, which is on the same block as the Congress Theatre. Any directions on how to get to the Congress Theatre would also be appreciated, as I never take the Blue Line and I hear it's scary by where the Congress is. thanks and back to your regular Sinister programming (short stories, discussion of lyrics in infinite detail, list-crushing, and all the things that we love the list for), lem __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: my dearest appologies
by Sean Howell 17 Oct '03

17 Oct '03

dear sinister, I believe that I very well may just have accidentally sent a rather mundane and utterly non belle and sebastian related email to you that involved complaining about working in a SCUBA store, talk of reading Dune, and the "hbo original series, Carnivale." I didn't mean to clutter up your inbox or waste your time or anything like that, so please forgive me. But anyway, I checked out the new webpage, at Lisa's recommendation, and thought it was quite nice. I am enjoying the new album as well, and am really excited about hopefully being able to see the band in such a small space as the 9:30 club...that should be quite a treat indeed. Well, I must be on my way...there is SCUBA equipment that needs to be sold, SCUBA enthusiasts who need to be served, and I need to get back to my book.

good morning hils! jesus, I'm surprised that I made it home alive last night...I was so exhausted by the time I left. Carnivale was great though...especially the last episode, and the previews for this week's episode look amazing. I still haven't gotten to read the Brother Justin interview you sent me, I wanted to last night when I got home, but just needed to go straight to bed. I am totally not looking forward to working at the scuba store all day...Granted, I really need the money and all, but still, it's going to be so incredibly boring most likely. I'm sure it will end up being even more dead than the saturday's that I've been working. Enough bitching about that though...I'm getting paid to read Dune all day essentially, which when it comes down to it, isn't a very bad deal whatsoever, and should certainly help chase off boredom.. Haha, speaking of dune, I had weird, Dune themed dreams last night...I really don't remember exactly what any of the details were, but I'm pretty sure that you were involved somehow. So, how is your day going? Great I hope! Well, I need to take a shower now, so I should wrap this up. -Sean _________________________________________________________________ Concerned that messages may bounce because your Hotmail account has exceeded its 2MB storage limit?

Chris_t_opher wrote something for www.comeswithasmile.com, and i thought it was www.comewithcarsmile.com i.e. some disturbing Stephen Hewitt inspired pornography website. ------------- Many of us thought that "STAY LOOSE" is like, Trevor Horn showing his Devils Horns. Well I just looked on the notes of the tracks of the DICKWANK mini website. Did you know? (From the www.dearcatastrophewaitress.com minisite) "Stay Loose The biggest studio creation, and, ironically, one which Trevor was hardly involved in. This was the only song which wasn't fully written before going into the studio. This was quite intentional, as we wanted a song Trevor could sink his teeth into. But Trevor didn't actually like the song. He did try a few things, but in the end, it was the band that saw it through. Tony Doogan mixed the song. - Mick" So there you go! Apparently Trevor had the most horn in hand in Step into my office baby, and no wonder - it's hornier than Mark C! eep you should see the video! Ken P.S. : London folks are you all going to Aislers Set and Lucksmiths and Comet Gain and Would be goods tonight? And How Does It Feel to be Loved on Friday? I am! P.P.S.: Glasgow folks are you all going to Aislers Set and Lucksmiths and Winchester Club on Friday? You should.
