Sinister: PenPal-O-Mania

26 Mar '03

Yo Sinistah! (Notice new, fresh hip-hop-stylee!) Yesterday my best friend/ bandmate/ fanzinemate/ dad's girlfriend's daughter made me some really cool stickers for me! She's been doing her working practise (which you in Sweden do when you're 14) at a mediaoffice and they had loads of cool programs on their computers, like the one where she made the stickers in. There are stickers saying: "Astrid - The Twee One", "Amanda - The Punk One" and "Punk and Twee Mix Well Together" and loads of other cool bandstickers. Yay! Stickers are so nice. Now, the subject of my actual post: I hope I don't sound too nerdy, or that it's too obvious that I've been reading too much Stephen Chbosky, but I really would like someone to write letters to. Anywhere in the world. Just because it's fun to write letters. I love sending stuff with mail, mixtapes and stuff like that. Uh-Huh. So if anyone, er, wants to be my new penpal send me an e-mail with your address and I'll send you a letter. Cool. Me and Amanda are listening to her new Sex Pistols-CD. She had it before, but lost the actual Cd so she bought a new copy of it today, some strange sort of compilation with like everything they recorded. We read a very funny story about Sid Vicious digging ABBA. Finally, here are some good Swedish bands (except the slightly over-rated The Hives and TSOOL) that you all should listen to: The Sounds, Mando Diao, Melody club and Caesar's Palace. YEAH. If you live in The States, look out especially for The Sounds. Me and Amanda read their wicked marketingplan for hitting the states. Soon in a hype-magazine near you! Well, sorry for posting so much but the thrill of being back is just overwhelming! Take care all of you, Love, Stars and Punk (at the moment, but in secret: Twee) Astrid ("the twee one"... damn. I thought I was fooling everyone that I was erally rock-chic..!) --------------------------------------------------- Who would you rather be - Ted Danson or Kevin Costner? Fab: Who the fuck is Ted Dancer? Ted Danson. Fab: Oh, Danson. Nick: I think Ted Danson wears a toupee. ______________________________________________________________ For up-to-the-minute music news, reviews and specials visit http://www.nme.com Get free e-mail (anyname(a)nme.com) now at http://www.nmemail.com The sender of this e-mail is NOT an employee or associate of NME, nme.com or any other IPC magazine. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

/me looks around Brightly. Hello Sinister! Having just read about a weeks worth of posts, I decided I would chime in. Big Stu said that the purpose of Sinister is to flirt with the opposite sex. Bah! What would you want to do /that/ for when your own is ever so much more interesting? You know, you can SAY Girls rock all you want, but Boys rock at least as hard. And sometimes they're Rock Hard, too. Boys don't have fiddly bits or moodiness or Female Problems, as they say here in the South. They don't need products sold with euphemisms or decorator colours.In conclusion, I like boys. Caleb Ben was sad that Mr Rogers died. I was, too. I watched his show all the time and when I was little he was the only grown-up I knew who didn't yell at me. Diana said she hoped he'd rest in peace. I think he already was at peace. Of all the people I know, I'm sure he'd be first into heaven. By popular demand. [Mr Rogers was also the show, when I was three, where I learned that TV programmes go on EVEN IF you turn the set off. That made me very unhappy at the time.] I was going to talk about the List on the List as well, but I've decided it'd be much more amusing to make this statement and let others blow thier minds trying to decide if it IS Talking on the List about the List. Speaking of Lists, Kristin Idleberry set up a Net Ring called Pocketbook Angel. You SHOULD already know this. /me raps your knuckles sharply. So why haven't more of you signed up yet? I expect Mass Transit to her site so you can link yourself on. Speaking of Sites, I'll hawk mine! http://www.jaylemurph.blogspot.com You can learn a new word a day, see how I successfully created my own country one afternoon and read many interesting reviews. This is BESIDES the sexy little Weatherpixie I have. Right. That's enough talk! GayJay -- "The Posby falls into a Trance In which it does a little Dance."

Sinister: squawk
by Ian Anscombe 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

i wasn't sure i'd heard right.. 'you want to go WHERE?' but, i believe in freedom. when it suits me. so i threw the poetry parrot into the air, and watched it crash into nextdoor's conservatory. i fetched it back again, removed the 'singing nun' costume, and allowed it to leave, unsure of the wisdom of my actions. --------------------------------------------------- an explanation... it all started with the christmas card. looked innocent enough. quite tasteful, even.. pvc envelope, wipe-clean contents.. it was the message inside that did it.. 'celebrating another year of superiority over you xx a.p. enterprises' it took me a while to work out what 'a.p. enterprises' might be. i assumed, quite sensibly, that it stood for 'anal pleasure'. until i saw the postmark. brighton. the get the get the get the scurrilous southern get.... i hadn't heard from ms playforth since i sent her a letterbomb disguised as a 'hello kitty' meat cleaver and chainsaw set. i thought that had put an end to things. seemingly not. i immediately phoned up all of my HARDEST friends (no, not in that sense) and took the train to brighton. unfortunately, the little old lady from across the road couldn't make it, so i was stuck with a man i found glue-sniffing at the bus stop, and err.. nobody else. i didn't know what my plan was. perhaps i'd get him to glue her to something... something inconvenient. like a volkswagen. THAT'd teach her. i contemplated this, as he told me about the army of elephants that he'd used to fight his wars in the past. he said his name was hannibal. i stared out of the window, and reflecte that this was what came of taking drugs AND watching trash american tv.. at least it wasn't b.a. baracus. i imagined Old Scurrilous staggering round brighton town, trying to look cool and hep and swinging and fabbo, all the time with a small family hatchback attached to her ear. superiority. 'hello, i'm archel playforth, scurrilous southern get... oh...this thing? its a stylish new form of ear ornamentation' i could hear Them Laughing. and not, for once, at me.. ---------------------------------------- best not to reflect on the past. yesterday. i found the parrot waiting on my steps yesterday night. poor thing.. it looked thin, cold and wet. its feathers stuck out in all directions.. it flashed those beady birdy eyes at me and croaked 'please....feed me.' so, i took it in, and i fed it my finest Linda McCartney Sausage Rolls, and gave it a nice cup of green tea. half an hour later, it still looked rather ropey. it hadn't touched its green tea. i decided it probably needed to be cheered up, perhaps with a nice, rousing, sing-song: 'toast is burned and you're coffee's co-old and you leave all the post cos there's noth ing but bills again home from work put the tee-vee o-on get your kicks watching' 'FOR GOD'S SAKE SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP, I CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE!' the parrot rocked from side to side as it squawked. clearly, all that time waiting for the pickle prince had affected its thought processes a little. i felt so sad for the little thing. if a fine, note-perfect rendition of a Cracknell Classic couldn't cheer it up, i began to despair that anything ever could. i felt so helpless... ----------------------------------------- helpless.. that day in brighton.. 30th december, 2002.. i probably shouldn't have left the glue-sniffer on his own for so long. he said he had to be near the sea, to connect with something primal, to summon his Powers. he stood on the end of the deserted pier, looking out to sea and making wave motions with his hands. it got very tedious. i went to 'saucy sue's sexy secret shop' and amused myself with interestingly-shaped inflatable objects. i swear i thought everything would be okay. a nutter, on a pier... he'd be fine. nobody would bother him. they would be too busy looking in the other direction and saying 'oh, don't say anything miranda darling, that sort of northern scum is only encouraged by a reaction from a sophisticated southern type.' or words to that effect. (the same sort of thing they say about me, in sophisticated southern towns. london, solihull, coventry, and the like..) --- i heard them calling, far far away. i got to the pier in time to seem him plunge into the water. i don't know if elephants can swim. i couldn't bring myself to look. evidently there had been too many of them. the old structure gave way. i could hear them trumpeting, many miles out, floating away behind their Master. i still hear those calls, on the long nights, before i fall asleep. i decided nobody would miss an old pier like that. it wasn't as if anyone was using it. heading north, on the train, i reflected that it would clearly take much more than an immortal eastern general and a horde of elephants to defeat the power of... The Southerner.. ---------------- god, ian, get over it. she won one. she has to win sometimes. unfortunately, so far, it has been every time, but your day will come. oh yes. your day will come. the poetry parrot.. the poor little thing. i didn't know what to do. i put on 'the sound of music'. that always cheers me up HOW do you SOLVE a PROBlem like marIA? HOW do you hold a MOONbeam in your HAND? this clearly moved my favourite freshly-found feathered friend. it laughed and laughed and laughed SO LOUD. it didn't stop for HOURS. then it started screaming again. i considered putting the film back on, or singing again, but every time i suggested this the parrot just squawked, and frantically tried to flap its wings underneath the minature habit-and-halo set i had generously allowed it to borrow. good god, what had HAPPENED to the poor thing? i stroked the scarlet plumage, i coo-ed softly in its ear.. i told it not to be so negative. there's plenty of happiness in life. its a question of knowing how, and where to look. and, mostly importantly, of remembering to look at all. there are many paths to happiness, they lie in - and it screeched again: 'OKAY. NO MORE. the best way for you to cheer me up is to say nothing: Philip Larkin - First Sight Lambs that learn to walk in snow When their bleating clouds the air Meet a vast unwelcome, know Nothing but a sunless glare. Newly stumbling to and fro All they find, outside the fold, Is a wretched width of cold. As they wait beside the ewe, Her fleeces wetly caked, there lies Hidden round them, waiting too, Earth's immeasureable surprise. They could not grasp it if they knew, What so soon will wake and grow Utterly unlike the snow.' 'the best way for you to cheer me up is to say nothing'.... i sat, and pondered the words. clearly, my company is so marvellous that i don't even need to speak to lift others to hitherto unknown levels of joy. the parrot was so edified by our encounter that it decided it would spread joy to the most unfortunate person it could think of. that must have been the reason. that must have been why it headed south to brighton. rachel playforth.. sender of superior messages, destroyer of sea-based structures (indirectly, at least), purveyor of.......things that are purveyed. of course i could share some of my enlightenment with her. i wasn't entirely sure, but i watched the little red blob as it faded into the blueness above me. i only hoped that it could bring her something edifying, something improving. ------- earth's immeasurable surprise.. the world is coming back to life. time to come back, with it. let go of the past. let the elephants float away. be happy, my little rays of err.. rayishness. flap around the world, squawking your poems, as only a sinister type can. xx ian +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: b&s save my sanity
by Andy Capps 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

well it's certainly been a long time since i posted last. i've started reading my digests again and etta and i felt it was time to post a little something ourselves. especially since we noticed that steven kado had surfaced, etta and i felt a longing for some of the old toronto sinisterines...that and i found my strangefruit pins the other day. the main inspiration for posting as i've been listening to b&s at work a lot lately. i work at the starbucks out here in my little suburban hell and the sound system is a rather old one. and anyone else who works at starbucks knows that the music is rather quite controlled if you have the cd player. luckily my store has the old cassette tape configuration and we're able to listen to any tape that's ever been made for starbucks. there is one tape, from around when twattybus came out that has quite a few b&s songs on it. (contemporary grind III)i've been playing it quite a lot lately and it's made my work a little more hospitable. the only drawback is i sing along with it and my customers are looking at me a little more oddly than usual. (it seems they don't see very many homo's in these parts either, who knew.) okay, well that's my little bit. etta wants to say something as well, but she's a cat and can't type. she's now just content with curling up in my lap. see you all around in #sinister... a. the early bird get's the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese... }:> _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN 8: advanced junk mail 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: rhode island
by Paul Arathoon 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Sadly, I can confirm that (as far as I know) Stuart M and Stuart D started out as Rhode Island. How I know this pathetic piece of pedantary I really don't want to know. *shoots self*. *misses* Anyways...B&S play a gig in glamourous glasow which I won't be able to grace with my presence due to many reasons not least my current unwillingness to travel north of the Watford Gap. They are soooo selfish. why can't they play in my living room? it's sooooo unfair. Who cares about Glasgow? it's so unimportant. my living room is much more important so they should play there. Where will they play next? Some one horse town like Barcelona? *TSK* I shall have to console myself with all of my Velvet Underground records and Will Self books. I saw some sinister people in a pub last thursday but I as they were arriving I was leaving to spend an hour or two on the tube which is my new favourite game. thanks to Ken Livingstone. I'm looking forward to the new record. Especially given Trevor Horn's involvment with: (I've capitalised the ones I would like to influence the new record) Act, ABC, Marc Almond, The Art Of Noise, Band Aid, PATO BANTON, BARRY MANILOW, Boyzone, Cher, DOLLAR, Esquire, Bryan Ferry, The Frames D.C., Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Gabrielle, THE GLAM METAL DETECTIVES, Godley & Creme, Inga Humpe, Grace Jones, Tom Jones, Lomax, Max, PAUL MCCARTNEY, Malcolm McLaren, Nasty Rox Inc., Mike Oldfield, Pet Shop Boys, Anne Pigalle, Propaganda, Public Demand, Terry Reid, Seal, Simple Minds, SPANDAU BALLET, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Wendy & Lisa. And more recently TATU so did their rather good version of How Soon is Now. It should make for an interesting and progressive (not prog) record. for all of your Trevor Charkes Horn needs: http://www.trevor-horn.de/ p. >From: Ian Watson <ianwatsonuk(a)btinternet.com> >Reply-To: Ian Watson <ianwatsonuk(a)btinternet.com> >To: <sinister(a)missprint.org> >Subject: Re: Sinister: Given A Voice >Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2003 14:25:28 +0000 > > >I could be wrong, but weren't Belle & Sebastian called Rhode Island before >they settled on the current name? > >Just thought you might like to know that, Diane.

Sinister: Given A Voice
by Mayfly5502＠aol.com 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Hi Sinister. I am new to the list and a few weeks ago I was given my voice (thank you Miss Honey!) after reading everything you all have had to say. It has all been very interesting and I will not deliberately commit list abuse. I'm an 18 year old female from the little state of Rhode Island in the US. I wish I could be as close to B&S as some of you are. :( I first discovered the lovely B&S one afternoon in January of 1997 when I wanted to test out a new band I had never heard of. So I picked up Tigermilk and instantly fell in love. Ever since then...I have been as much a devoted fan as possible. All of you seem like great people and I look forward to being a part of such a great community. Thanks for taking the time to read this! Hope everyone has a good night. Very sad about Mr. Rogers...great man. May his soul rest in peace. -Diane p.s I wish I could have the pleasure of seeing B&S in Glasgow.... :( +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: When two tribes go to war, money's all that you can score
by Gardiner, Stuart 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

The latest fashion seems to be to be smug about having tickets to the Glasgow gig in May. And, as ever, I am a slave to fashion. (That is to say, fashion dresses me up in rubbish clothes, whips me and tells me I must try harder). Of course I am equally excited (nearly) about finally having the chance to go to the Winchester Club the night before, so I look forward to seeing you all there. All I've got to do now is find somewhere to stay - any offers gratefully received... In another bit of B&S news, the NME website is reporting (http://www.nme.com/news/104320.htm) that the new album is being produced by Trevor Horn. Don't know where they got this information from, last I heard it hadn't been finalised, but at least we can talk about it now. For those who don't know (and I admit, until a couple of weeks ago I didn't), Trevor Horn produced much of the best music to come out of the eighties, including Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas". And just in case you thought he was a relic from another era, his record is currently Number 1 in the UK singles charts ("All The Things She Said" by Tatu). Not bad going really. Nice to see a bit of smut reappearing on the list, it's been missed. It was so much more entertaining when Archel was still single and smutty. Now we have to rely on Ken. After all, what is this list for apart from trying to impress members of the opposite sex? (Hopefully something else actually, because I'm rubbish at that). So I'll just subtly drop into the conversation that everything they say about tall men with big feet is true.

Sinister: Bubbling with excitement
by Paulo Stinsoni 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Greetings earthlets, Borag Thung (or something like that, I can't remember too well now) Yeah, and I'd like to add to Ken's words: >so I'm going to brag HERE instead! > >WOOOO I GOT MY TICKET! Wahey Glasgow Gig here I come. > I've got my ticket too. Standing at the front, or rather dancing (if there's room). I'm practising my dance steps as we speak. Theresa (the lovely) suggested we create a complete "Chorus line" style dance for special songs and a generic one for other songs we weren't expecting. If you see us there, looking a bit awkward and silly, come and join us. I can't wait. Yours Paulo Yazaar, Yazaar! _________________________________________________________________ Worried what your kids see online?

Sinister: dim sum a-tasting
by Kenneth P Y Chu 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

Today on the way back home I'm telling you I caught the sun, or I would have if there were still sunlight when I leave work. Anyway, on my way back from work I went on the tube, and a very familiar voice started talking to me... "I spent the summer wasting, the time was passed so pleasantly..." .. well yeah I did too... Wait! Stuart Murdoch is right next to me, I turned round, and the only person I saw wasn't Stuart Murdoch, but instead a girl with her walkman on (and 3948 other people - it was a very packed train). It turned outed that she had the whole of TWATTYBUS album on her walkman and so it made my journey home a whole lot better because she had it on loud enough so I could listen to it. Unfortunately my journey home was made a lot worse by the fact that the man next to me REALLY SMELLED - like those cuddly toys that people keep sending Isobel. His odour of old prison food took a long time to pass me by. And at the time I happened to have the GLASGOW B&S GIG ticket in my pocket too because I'd just got that in the post this morning on the way to work, and I was going to Brag about this fact to that girl had the train not been so packed.. so I didn't.. so I'm going to brag HERE instead! WOOOO I GOT MY TICKET! Wahey Glasgow Gig here I come. Yes Anyway. Brighton on Saturday, from London, what to do? As Archel said there will be a train/bus DOUBLE WHAMMY from London Victoria at 13:38. The best idea is probably to get there for 13:00, as from past experience we know that it takes ages to get a ticket, and then off to Brighton we all go. Easy! Complication factor = 0. Ahh yes. Students getting drunk and horny. Those were the days. Just remember what Frankie sez, kids. Ken P.S.: Nice to see the Australian massiv are getting into the bowling spirit! One day, there should be a Sinister Bowling ASHES. The Trixie OF X scoreline was obviously: a TRIX SHOT! Haha. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with cool emoticons http://messenger.msn.co.uk +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Northern Lights
by Dirty Vicar 27 Feb '03

27 Feb '03

Hello Sinister, I write to you again from sunny Ireland, to tell you about how I am not going to go to the B&S gig in Glasgow. It does seem like an appealing prospect, but my glamorous assistant and I have decided to throw away our money on a weekend in Reykjavik. I hear it's a real party town and the kind of place where swingers like us will be welcome. I also have the vague idea it's a somewhat indie place, but that may be because Jaz Coleman of the Killing Joke fled there to escape nuclear war, and also Saton Albarn owns a pub there. I went to see some of that live music last night. Two *local* bands. First up was Neo Supervital, who is this bloke who plays electropop tinged music all on his own. He is rather amiable, but playing music like that he should maybe be wearing a silver cape or something like that. He did the odd thing of playing a cover version of 'Theme From Chalets' by The Chalets, the other band on the bill, which was a larf, particularly as he did all the squeaky girly vocals in a squeaky girly fashion. A crazy world. The Chalets rocked hard as usual. Actually, I don't think they used to rock quite as hard as this, but as a dirty vicar I certainly approve of their new rocky direction. Many of the crowd weren't quite so convinced, with applause and suchlike being a bit desultory. But such is Dublin. Soon they will play Glasgow and you can learn to love them for yourself. Beyond that, I'm trying to finally clear the mountain of tapes I've promised to do for people. The forward thinking sounds of Acid Mothers Temple are filling up the Vicarage even as we speak, so Mr Anscombe's life can look forward to being just a little bit more spaced out in the relatively near future. beyond that, I have little to say. Those of you who hang out in *THE OTHER PLACE* might bump into me next weekend in Nottingham. bless, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
