Sinister: Dirty Dream number twee
by Paulo Stinsoni 06 Nov '03

06 Nov '03

Avast me hearties, even though it's not talk like a pirate day. I'm going to stir up something here, I'm sure... Yesterday I got the new DVD, or rather the only DVD (but it is new) and as I sat there, relaxing on my own I watched the whole B&S story unfold before my eyes. It was wonderful. Wonderfully twee. Oh yes. Summer meadows (like Teddy Edward used to be), chasing each other through the streets (the double dekkers), Isobel (really necessary on a bike) it was all bloody fab. Bloody marvelous. I can see I should have brushed up on my adjectives before sending this mail. One adjective I will use again, though, is TWEE. Do what you like with oars and my arse, I couldn't give a shit, and probably wouldn't if you did do the oar thing. TWEE TWEE TWEE TWEE There. I've got that off my chest. There were other things I noticed too. The word "ASTRID" on a T shirt. Is where you got your name A.S.T.R.I.D? The ink poloroid thing all became plain to me. I know why now. I probably would have known earlier if I read the LONG emails in the list, but I get so disheartened if I have to scroll. And finally, in the credits, I spotted "the Sinister List" as a dedication for help on Dirty Dream. Now this was before my time, so there's no way I was involved, but what did the Sinister list do for DD2? OK, going now cos it's lunch time and I'm hungry. So happy sunny days, fluffy little nice things, warm stuff that makes you feel good, and love to all who can be arsed to read this far.

Sinister: laughing (austin) crying (show) jumping (texas) singing
by m. paisley 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

Hello Sinister - It was a good show. It's a puzzle to me how a person can make music to express something about themselves, or something they feel strongly about, and how another person can listen to it and deeply appreciate something they feel is expressed by the music...but what do the two have to talk about? It seems strange that an expression that both delight in (allowing some varying interpretation) should be unable to bring each of them to a point where a connection is made. Not just one-way devotion. I suppose this is where the "bedroom" part of saddo comes in. Though DIETCOKEWITH was suspiciously sunny. I'm not sure I'm clear on the saddo part anyway, is that just someone who likes sad music, or the music itself, or what now? I heard Radiohead referred to as miserablist (sp?), which was apparently resented by the band. ("I'm happy, I'm happy, and I'll punch the man who says I'm not," said Ivor Cutler.) The previous paragraphs were inspired by the awkward conversation as I only intended to say hello to Stuart at the afterparty, but he was nice and said more things and my mouth stopped working. Ah, shyness. But what did I really have to say to this stranger? This charming, friendly stranger who had a part in all these albums that I play so often. I'm glad anyway, even if I didn't have anything good to say, I did soak up what I could of the show and with the after's dancing (Richard was spinning when Mick and Chris and Stuart hit the floor). I was surprised that so much rap and outright aggressive dance music came out, I wondered if that was really what they listened to at home. I'm too exhausted to capitalize my song titles properly, apologies, and some of them were instrumental/cover songs that I couldn't identify...maybe someone else will? set-list *Instrumental theme that I think is from the 50's or 60's. Expectations Step Into My Office, Baby Wrapped Up In Books Woman's Realm *A "country" song ("from WHAT country?") about travelling life and shimmering and glimmering. You Don't Send Me Beautiful Like Dylan In The Movies Stay Loose *Another instrumental theme, like a Western film. Stars Of Track And Field Asleep On A Sunbeam Stars Of Track And Field Dear Catastrophe Waitress I'm A Cuckoo If You Find Yourself Caught In Love Judy And The Dream Of Horses Roy Walker Patsy Cline's "Crazy" introduction by Stevie Sleep The Clock Around (did I miss any?) You're Just a Baby (as an encore, which surprised me because there was no encore last year and I was particularly pleased to hear this song that was one of the first that I really loved...) The venue was outdoors at the Backyard, and the wind blew the string players' sheets off the stands with the shaved bit of moon shining whitely overhead. Stuart coughed on the stage smoke, and the previous opening band borrowed some sunglasses from the crowd because the lighting was so bright (this was at night, under the stars). I might have more to say, but only after some sleep... - exes and oh's paisley _________________________________________________________________ See when your friends are online with MSN Messenger 6.0.

Sinister: Gazza - new wolves striker
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.org 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

a.s.t.r.i.d. (i wonder what it stands for..) had coffee with Shirley Lee. It'd be very funny if your name is Shirley Lee and your middle name is Lily, then you'd be Shirley Lily Lee, and if you have a lisp and your name is Shirley Lily Lee and you try and people that your name is Shirley Lily Lee it'd be the end of you. She also saw Damien Rice and liked him and he touched her shoulder, I saw him in Glastonbury and quite liked him too but he didn't touch my shoulder. There was a fight in the crowd though during that gig it was quite funny (the fight itself wasn't funny but I was quite drunk), and I'm sure one of them must have hit the other in the shoulder at least once during the fight, one of them fell over in the end. I had a dream last night and I had to defend the honour of my sister and I taunted this guy and dared him to hit me with a bottle, but he bottled it, until I turned around to sit down, when which he really bottled me, and I found out how being bottled makes you all dizzy and unable to fight, but I managed to bottle him back before fleeing with my sister to safety. So all is well although I then had to hide the wound from my mum. Good dream innit. When I saw Damien Rice at Glastonbury he did a cover of Creep by Radiohead, because Radiohead didn't do it during their set. Moby did the same thing too, and everyone knew about it, not many people knew Damien Rice did it though. And the question "Who played Creep in Glastonbury?" popped up during a pub quiz once and the official answer was Moby but you really should have gotten bonus points for knowing that Damien Rice also did it, but you don't, and that's pub quizzes for you. I saw the Flaming Lips at Glastonbury too, and I saw the Flaming Lips on Monday night and they were on fire, the set wasn't that much different from the Glastonbury one, with all the same tomfoolery with balloons and fake blood and all but it was still great, he talked about Arnold Schwarzenegger at one point and I wanted to shout "I'll be back" really loud cos that would have been well funny, but I was too old for heckling. I missed out on seeing The Darkness at Glastonbury, cos I got there late, but lately I have fallen in love with their record called "Permission To Land" I like it so much that if someone wants to post me a free copy of it, I'd give it permission to land on the bit of floor below my postbox. They have a song called "Get your hands off my woman" which is the best song ever, what sentiment, and they use both the words "Cunt" and "Motherfucker". a.s.t.r.i.d. also mentioned that something that's bad about The Thrills is that they sort of suck live, they were in Glastonbury too and my flatmate fell asleep halfway through watching them, so much for "The Thrills". Another thing that's bad about The Thrills is that they sort of suck on records. m. paisley wrote about the Stone Cold Steve Austin show and said he sang a "country" song about travelling life and shimmering and glimmering and I believe that may be a song called "Travelling Light" by Belle and Sebastian that was almost on the new album but isn't and is originally sung by Stevie I wonder how good Stone Cold Steve Austin sang it.

Sinister: you set the scene
by Ian Watson 05 Nov '03

05 Nov '03

I don't know if it's that widely known but Arthur Lee's Love are playing London next week. I had no idea until I got an email from my friend Tony about it. Next Friday at the Carling Academy in Islington. Love were one of the highlights of Glastonbury for me this year. I didn't manage to see any of the RFH shows so I was excited to seem them as they were going to be doing Forever Chagnes in order. Oh, I can't begin to say how wonderful it was. Arthur Lee is the only original member and the new guitarist did have a tendency to overplay his guitar solos, but still! Alone Aagain Or! Andmoreagain! You Set The Scene! I was watching the TV coverage of Glasto one night and they showed one of the songs from the set. It was You Set The Scene. I was, I'm not ashamed to admit, almost in tears. Of all the songs they could have chosen...you know, time is precious on telly. So the fact they'd gone for the six minute whatever tune said a lot. It was fantastic, truly wonderful. So, go and see them! You won't regret it. Tickets still available. And while I'm on... This Friday is the first HDIF in Brixton. It's a one off down south. The venue is fantastic. Wooden dance floor, glitterball, illuminated NY skyline, pub prices, beer on draft, nice private room, plenty of room to dance. If you know anyone in south London please please PLEASE let them know about it. And if you can come along, please do. There aren't that many indie pop things going on in south London, so it'd be nice to have an alternative. The details: Friday Nov 7th, The Canterbury Arms, 8 Canterbury Crescent, SW9 7QD. Guest DJs are Amelia Fletcher and Rob Pursey from Tender Trap/Heavenly. 9-2, 3 quid in. See you either this Friday or next! x +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: is there any wonder?
by Stefano [Steady-State] 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

My Dear Sinister Looking through the shelves at the bookshop I saw a paper copy of The Spoon River Anthology. I remembered I had loaned if from the library, years ago. The way one buys the things without paying too much attention, I bought a copy. I think I really missed that book, those characters and the stories of their lives condensed in few lines. Like that is all left of an existence, something to weighed on a chemist´s balance, and pound worth nothing. I´m sure I missed it when I got to Francis Turner I could not play / in boyhood. / In manhood I could only sip the cup, / not drink -/ For scarlet fever let my heart diseased. / Yet I lie here/ Soothed by secret none but Mary knows:/ There is a garden of acacia, / Catalpa trees, and arbors sweet with vines - / There on that afternoon of June / By Mary´s side - Kissing her with my soul upon my lips/ it suddenly took flight. It was way before I even ever dared to hold someone hands that had read the story of Francis, but it was only when my soul took flight, kissing her, with my soul upon my lips that I barely realised what he might have felt. Is there anything like the end of love? I don´t know. I don´t think so though. Not the way I see the things. Might be I am just stupid. And weak. And out of time. And fashion. And whatever I can be out of. I can´t believe all you´ll become, I´ve become, is a telephone number to be cancelled on an agenda, a date to be barred on the calendar, a photograph to burn, a bad memory from the past, a bank account, an unpleasant noise, a shadow, a stone, an unanimated thing. A thing. I might be dealing with things my own way. But I have waited any single day in my life to meet someone who said loved me. And If is that all I am now, it makes me wonder it was worth it. Waiting, with my soul upon my lips. I think it was worth the trouble and was worth the pain. Yeah, I´ll do it again. No there is nothing like the end of love. It can´t swapped away from any single cell of mine, but when I´ll be talking to the fall leaves of the trees and the flowers, in springs. Way to spend a Sunday. In July, Francis. Any Month can be cruel. Don´t need a particular one. I do believe there is love in everything and everyone. Until I´ll be proven wrong. Until I´ll be convinced I´ve been proved wrong. That would be the day I´ll be sure that an existence is not worth being lived anymore, then. Yours, stefano #~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~ Everybody has been burned before; everybody knows the pain Anyone in this place can tell you to your face Why you shouldn't try to love someone Everybody knows it never works Everybody knows and me We know that door shuts just before you get to the dream you see I know I know all too well, how to turn and how to run How to hide behind a bitter lie with blue But you die inside when you choose to hide So I guess instead I'll love you I love you I LOVE YOU #~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Lawrence post-show shenanigans
by Thomas Tollefsen 04 Nov '03

04 Nov '03

Hey all, If short is the new long, then this post is going to be light years ahead of its time. Just wondering if anyone knows of any activities planned for after tonight's Lawrence show (as in members of our beloved group spinning records and dancing the night away). I missed the after-hours (er) after last year's Detroit show and have been kicking myself ever since. Any information would be greatly appreciated and hope to see some representation from the greater Jayhawk/Cornhusker Massive out in effect tonight!
