Sinister: laugh at the silly children <laugh> EN FRANCAIS! <french laughs>

08 Nov '03

My Dear Dear Catastrophic Sinister Types i hope this finds everyone in a nice state of fettleness. i am tired and weary and feel like i could sleep for a thousend years. I have four deadlines biting me in the arse plus two trips to london. Actully the topics are fairly interesting so that is ok. i think i'd be a bit more pissed off about them. its very strange how you can be feeling in a bit of a mediocre mood and dulland lifeless then suddenly a gig can spur you into a moment of creativity. i just had that. i have felt a wee bit listless of the last few days. dulled by Bronte and Donne and by the weather. then suddenly BAM. I went to see Yann Tiersen thursday evening. My good god. i nearly feel as inspired as the day that went to see Amelie. I read a review of his gig today from London and it said that " an englishman could never play the same amount of instruments as Tiersen and be called anything less than arrogant" There was a real sense of occasion with this show. 100 people in a dinky theatre. i did some calculations and it turns out that only 6% of the concert goers were native english speakers which i thought was quite cool. the vast majority of them were French. i didn't feel too out of place though. i had a scarf wrapped around my neck numerous times and i tried not to look too excited. He has gone very post rock with his new material although it was still nice to hear the plinky plonky Amelie music as well. There was this song where if i closed my eyes i could swear i was at a godspeed gig or something. I am getting very very excited about the prospect of seeing the band on December 3rd. That is unless the airport authority goes on strike which is a major posibility. So close and yet so far. God willing anyway there won't any strike actions by unions that run the bloody country. I try not to go to england if i can help it. the only bits i ever see are Stansted Airport. But i am going there this next weekend and then again for the gig. I am actully quite looking forward to it. i always feel a bit like a stranger whenever i am in england. i speak the same language as all the people but i feel out of place. Almost as if i have "paddy" tattooed on my forehead or something (which would be a bit weird). I feel the same when ever i am in the states and yet i hate i my own country but i still feel at home here. very very odd. Are there any club nights around that night as i fear we are going to have to pull an all nighter cos we have to be back in Stansted for around 4 or 5 so there is no real point in getting a hostel. so if anyone could give me any pointers as to what to do that would be grate with a capital G i am off to try and think of a reason not to go out tonight. and Oh if no one has heard of the hidden camera's shame on you. they kick veritable arse tara jnthn +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Columbus Ohio quick report (dumb version)
by john barrick 08 Nov '03

08 Nov '03

Couldn't remember everything they played, or the order, but I'll try. Surfy Instrumental Thing Step Into My Office, Baby Dear Catastrophe Waitress Expectations You Don't Send Me Seeing Other People Traveling Light There's Too Much Love Asleep On A Sunbeam Photo Jenny Wrapped Up In Books Slow Graffiti Piazza, New York Catcher If She Wants Me Dirty Dream Number Two Lord Anthony Cecelia (audience request) Stay Loose Roy Walker Sleep The Clock Around No Encore They played brilliantly and the audience responded well to the songs - there was quite a roar when Mick launched into the trumpet part on Expectations. Thing felt a little weird though. People were yelling out requests all through the show, to the point that they kept interrupting Stuart and Stevie while they were trying to speak to the audience between songs - it became a bit embarrassing. The venue was not dance friendly and it seemed to bother Stuart and Stevie somewhat as they both mentioned the lack of dancing in various ways throughout the show. During the drawn out ending of Sleep The Clock Around, the string players all returned to the riser and I assumed there was another song coming, but at the end of it the band walked off stage, with only Sarah giving a tiny wave to the audience. The crowd were immediately on their feet with the "encore" applause, but after three minutes or so, the house lights and canned music came up and we were all left standing there blinking at each other. The lack of an encore was quite disappointing and I was left with the feeling that they were less than impressed with their audience tonight - sort of a downer ending to a beautifully performed evening of music from my favorite band. I hope Detroit comes off better for them. john barrick +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Ease your meat in the she
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.org 07 Nov '03

07 Nov '03

Hello sinister, How are everybody? I'm doing rather well, two nights ago I went to Safeways and they were selling a crate of 24 bottles of stella for £9.99. It was a fantastic bargain and I ended up drinking quite a few of them in celebration, whilst playing Fifa 2004, and later watching Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon with my flatmate, and concluded that it was a bog standard Chinese martial arts film but with shag scenes added in for the western market and it worked. Then, last night I realised that there was, in fact, no non-alcoholic beverages at all in the house, so I went to safeways again to buy a 24 pack of coca-cola for £6.45, when the girl at the till told me about the OFFER they had on 12-packs of coca cola, namely it was £1.99 for 12!!!! So I bought 36 cans in total for £5.97. It was a fantastic bargain. And now I'm sitting at my desk, for some reason really wanting to sing "Fight Test" by Flaming Lips really loud, but can't because I'm at work. Do you know a band called Fanny Pack? They're great, they have a song called "Camel Toe" which is about these girls who keep the toes of camels!!! How great is that!! It's fantastic, writing songs about collecting animal bodyparts. I'm going to one day write a song about shaving turtles which are too hairy and call it like Hairy Turtle or something. But anyway, yeah, Fanny Pack are apparently big fans of Flaming Lips cos during that "Camel Toe" song they sang about how the only Lips they want to see are those that sing! i.e. The Flaming Lips! When your lips get inflammated, do you know how it feels? And how does it feel to be loved? I don't know yet personally, but I'm going to find out tonight at Brixton when there's a How Does It Feel To Be Loved club night going on which is the best night out in town starting from 9!!!!! Friday Nov 7th, The Canterbury Arms, 8 Canterbury Crescent SW9 7QD, Brixton, 9pm-2am, £3 admission. http://www.howdoesitfeel.co.uk/club.html Get in!

Sinister: sleep on the floor, dream about me
by rrrrobyn 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

lovers in a dangerous time, What not to do when trying to Be: i've got to tell you that you shouldn't lend your new b&s cd out to someone who forgets to return it to you just when you've gone and, ulp, maybe perhaps fallen in love and really actually require that cd in order to, y'know, cope with things like Long Walks, Late Nights, The Inability to Fully Concentrate on Anything, and Your Own Corporeality (which i sometimes forget about, being such a total air sign). i require music, and right now i'd like the new b&s music, but i will survive on all the other b&s and all the other music in the world. i realize i'm preaching to the converted here when i say, well, one needs music in times like these. yeah, maybe i'm a bit unbalanced but aren't we all in this teeter-totter world. Entertainment is the new talking about your feelings: "Alien" was re-released. big-screen alien = the best kind of alien. so so good. seeing that is going to tide me over until next week when i'm seeing all those shows i think i talked about in my last sinister post. shows! yaay! weirdly, i did end up going to see the weakerthans b/c a friend invited me. the fembots, from toronto, opened - i like them quite a lot, so that was nice. the weakerthans, hm, well, it was like an introduction to them for me and though i enjoyed it in many ways, there was something missing (and i do really like the experience of seeing bands i don't know very well). i just had this feeling that i'd heard it all before and heard it done better. which seems a bit evil to say, considering how energetic and nice and, well, canadian they were. but hey, evil evil evil. my name is robyn, and I love the smell of photocopied journal articles in the morning: despite some drooling-in-shoe-stores sessions, i have not bought any new shoes. but that's okay b/c my happiness level has increased exponentially due to a) a cute new boyfriend, and b) a confirmed and rad thesis supervisor! hurrah! that i put both on the same level perhaps indicates something i'm unwilling to fully believe re: me and academic life and love, but whatever. that's right, WHATever. it's all hott to me. downloading prince with myself-o: yeah, so everyone should download prince's "pussy control" b/c, damn, i don't even have to tell you why (there's a song called "pussy control"? Yes! there's a song called "pussy control"!). somehow, perhaps being so enamoured with 'pop life' and 'little red corvette', i had forgotten about this song. okay, we all go through phases. i so want to do karaoke to prince, but i always feel too tall, too white, too estrogen-based and hetero to do a proper job of it. /sound of me slamming fist into palm and saying 'drat!'. all these and more facets of my (fractured/incomplete/head-slamming-against-wall-repeatedly) identity are working on the issue though, and, i tell you, if only for the span of one song, i will be some kind of prince-like phenomenon, one day, one day... but enough about performance, play and perversion. b/c, y'know, survivor's on tonight (oh god, i thought that was just a joke, but then i realized that that's *exactly* what it's about. i'm really going to have to stop knowing how to read.) there's no power like scientific biopower, r obyn ===== I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden(a)yahoo.com Montreal, QC __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

Sinister: when your legs are black and blue
by Stefano [Steady-State] 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

of course, is time to take a break... My Dear Sinister How does it happen that I always manage to hurt the one I love, when it is far the last thing I´ve ever imagined? Sometime I feel I am dumb or insensible, like floating on cotton cloud, nursing my own little insignificant struggles and not realising how that could hurt the people I care for. I wish I were better person. I wonder what is the key for happiness. For a lot I though there really was no way, no key to open a door that wasn´t there. Or simply, I wasn´t smart enough to understand which was the key which would have fitted into the slot. There are thing that happened in life and that are under our control. Some others aren´t. Most of them are. I know. But the child is the father of the man, and the past can´t be swept away in a handful. Some things need time. It took time to realise that being loved could really changed someone life. Entirely. I think I´ve always believed that, but wouldn´t admit it. Might be it was something I tried to escape. The was a time when that was for me the L word, like the F or the C word, because I´ve thought it would have never come to me. Or might be I was just envy. Was it all I was? Might be is when I start to run away. Away from myself and to turn away the once I loved. And know that I know what is the only thing that´s worth for me in my life, the most I try to understand, the most it seems I hurt the people I care for instead. Shall I stop even trying to understand? Can you cancel the past when it means so much for you? Can´t you better cancel the past when you know that you are someway hurting yourself, but, most of all, the ones you don´t really want to? I better should. If I only were able. And just let the memory fading. I hope I´ll learn how. As I said, I wish I were better person. One only thing I am sure is that the way to this promise land called happiness, something a had a brief taste of, like the water on a stream in spring, can´t involved storming into someone else´s heart, and take it all that I can take, and walk over someone sentiments and feelings, like picking the most colourful flower in a garden to let then decompose in a crystal jar over my table, and set them in the fire, when they´re done, like have never been there. If this is the way t win the game, then, I´ll rather lose it. And things might go wrong my own way. I´ve gone wrong a long way my own one already. And you can´t stand, unmarked, in the middle of the field and wave your harms and hands in the air, but the other player won´t possibly pass you the ball, because you´re the weaker link, and don´t want to play the other game mainly, then, what´s the point your hands waving and of yourself playing? Isn´t it better to quit the game when you feel like you´re not fit to stay on the pitch? Again that´s none else decision but yours, so, no one else to blame. But. Would you give up the things you believe in? All my best wished of happiness and everything And apologies Stefano +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: post-Lawrence show report
by Thomas Tollefsen 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

Hi all, Well Scotland's favorite sons and daughter invaded the heart of America's heartland on Tuesday night and a hoot was had by all. I wasn't lucky enough to grab a set list and the cheap booze at the venue sort of rendered me useless for the task of remembering the order of things. Still, the set was in most respects similar to those that have been posted as of late. Almost everything from the latest, nothing from either FYHCYWLAP or Storytelling, and various bits from the first three full lengths. Plus Photo Jenny and Dog on Wheels, to boot. Stevie did an improvised cover of the Shangri Las' Train From Kansas City. BUT, the big highlight of the evening (for me at least) was Mick's first-ever (at least that's what they said) fronting-the-band singing effort. He did Burt Bacharach's This Guy's In Love With You and it was fantastic, even though he looked as nervous as can be. During the set someone kept yelling "Gentle Waves", to which Stuart replied (something to the effect of), "It looks as if someone out there is a bit enamored with Isobel. Maybe you could have done more than I could to make her not want to quit the band." Chatted with Stuart and Richard a bit after the show and found out, to my chagrin, that there would be no after-hours as they were off to St. Louis that night. My friends and I then headed to some bar, where we proceeded to plug up their box with Ween and Husker Du. On the way back to our hotel we saw the caravan pulling out for the trip to Missouri and we hooted and hollered and waved at them all as they drove by. Quite bittersweet knowing that there they all were; so close and yet probably they wouldn't be coming back to these parts for many a moon. Still we'll take what can get and I hope all of you Stateside get a chance to catch them on this latest outing. Be sweet, -Tom __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

You'll have read Stuart mention Olly from Scatter in his diary a few times - they're a hard-t-describe collective of musicians who truly have to be seen to be believed. It's a bit jazz, bit middle-eastern, bit scottish beat poet - hell, you'll just have to come along to understand it. They don't have a website yet but you can read a little more about them here - http://www.cenotaph.org/scatter.htm We're still to confirm the supports for the Wednesday and Friday London shows, will let you know soon.
