Sinister: Come and buy my toys!
by hannah brown 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

hello peeps, Mmm what a strange few days i've had. I started with the discovery that the drummer of Ikara Colt is on my printmaking course, i found this out because there was a picture of him in a music mag, i consulted him about it and it's true, very odd. Then on thursday i went to town in search of some Strawberry Alarm Clock, a cool 60's band. Whilst searching (and failing) to find them, i decided to buy some more Yo le Tengo. I picked one up that looked interesting and bought it. On the bus home i had a look at it. All the writing was in purple and it had a picture of a bloke on the front with the words "small little f@@ker with a high voice", i looked for the bands name but it wasn't there. Then i looked at the track listing and saw a song called 1999. "Hang on" i thought, and made a little equasion in my head: purple+little+high voice+1999= christ i've bought a Prince record! I'm not greatly keen on Prince and thought i must have been really stupid to accidently buy it. So i thought i'd try and take it back the next week. Well, i got home and put it and and christ almighty it's only Yo Le Tengo doing Prince covers and it's absolutely chuffing Brilliant, it may even convert me into liking Prince more. I also bought that Interpol album and was surprised at it's fruity goodness. My flatmate recons that buying records is like taking vitamins, i think i would agree with him but i don't think it would cure cifallis (if that's how you spell it). I saw a dead fox on the road last night, it's guts were spewed out across the road and it was rather depressing. It wasn't there this morning so i reckon it got up and put its guts back in it's stomach, cursed a bit and waddled off. hmmmm, i need a holiday great yeh! love hannah b _________________________________________________________________ Surf together with new Shared Browsing http://join.msn.com/?page=features/browse&pgmarket=en-gb&XAPID=74&DI=1059 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: L� 'le P�draig
by Christine Irene 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

Awww, hi everyone! it is st. patrick's day! my very favourite holiday! the weekend was nice. saturday katie and i milled about, as we do. yesterday i loafed round the house., i was going to go to the south side irish parade....st. patrick's day is a HUGE deal in chicago..particularly in the area which i now reside in. i heard on the news that they anticipated 200,000 people would be there. i said that that was impossible, that parade gets that many people when it is 20 degrees and snowing...yesterday was BEAUTIFUL. sunny, 67 degrees....woo hoo! anyway, i avoided the parade. i don't like people, they scare me. instead katie and greg and i went to this lil pub in elmhurst. it was called McNally's and was just so lovely. there were real live irish people there when we arrived. we sat outside in the sun and chatted. it was my first SPD without attempting to drink a pint of guinness. i have never been one to imbibe, now i can't due to illnesses/medications. oh well. this establishment played only irish artists, u2 (rare u2 at that), thin lizzy, van morrisson....the usual suspects. then i said "i would be so impressed if they played rory gallagher" and guess what.....they did! aww, i was so happy. today is yet another glorious day in chicagoish. the downside being the eldest of my charges has the stomach flu. she has proceeded to throw up every 30 minutes or so since last night.... i think i have about a 15 minute window right now. yick! how absoluetly vile...or bile, as it were. :o) so the lovely mr kevin clair is heading back to these parts today. hopefully he and i can get together this week. also, i checked my inbox this morning to find an email from eoin and a post from dirty vicar. could this day be any better? well, i suppose if i were no longer getting vomited on it would improve greatly. :o) ah well. i have nothing to say really, i just couldn't let my favourite holiday pass without a post. love to you all~ L� 'le P�draig!!!! ~stine __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: OT: UK listees make your voice heard
by Geoff Sheridan 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

This is political - if that is likely to offend you please disregard this message. Flames welcome, but off-list please. Bear in mind it qualifies for list-space by containing satire and at least one reference to Belle and Sebastian. <= That was it. I am also convinced that our fey Scottish popsters of choice would have mentioned Chomsky (see end) in a song by now were it not so damnably difficult to rhyme with. Just like 'Orange'. It looks like there may shortly be a vote in the UK parliament on the war in Iraq. If you are interested, you can make your voice heard. Here's how to find out who your MP* is: http://www.locata.co.uk/commons/ You will find a link to contact them by email. Then if you are *in favour* of the war in Iraq, simply copy and paste this: I am writing to express my support for the government's position on Iraq. I admire your resolve to go the UN route - it's not your fault that you failed to convince anyone but Spain to agree with you. On the contrary, this just proves that the UN doesn't work. What good is an organisation which cannot be bullied or paid-off to rubber-stamp American foreign policy? So in future I don't think you should bother with that 'talking shop'. No, I think our military killing machine will do the talking just fine from now on. OR if you are *against *: You clearly have a brain - write your own. You might want to include the latest Amnesty International estimates that 50,000 civilian Iraqis will be killed and 500,000 injured. http://public.amnesty.org.uk/iraq has an online petition and a suggestion for a form of words. If war breaks out then follow the advice at http://www.stopthewar.org.uk/ If anyone would like to join me on a Sinister March-nic in London this Saturday 22nd, please mail me off-list. Thanks for your time, Geoff (better dressed than you since 1998) * Find out how they voted last time here: http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/Templates/ Still bored?

Sinister: Life Full Of Holes
by Joan of Dark 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

When you end up alone inside an empty house on a Sunday afternoon, the empty house in which you grew up, which more than ever, more than anything, reminds you of how empty your life feels nowadays... How void of emotions and affection your inside feels... Father on a trip, coming back forever, wishing he never had to... Mother with an invitation in her hands, for somewhere else. One. For her only. One way ticket, stating no return on this journey shes set her heart and feelings on... Away. So far... Brother being elsewhere as well... substituting whatever has been lost from in here with strange people. Friends that you know theyre going to fail him just as you have been forsaken by your once dearest ones. But hes just 17 and you cannot explain to him that everything changes. Everything goes away. Everything and everyone goes away, never to return, leaving you there hoping like a fool. To describe it as tragically as you have experienced it, words fail you... And you have never managed to approach him. And he hates you and you dont know why. Maybe it is because you only tried to protect him. Maybe it is because you used to quarrel when you were young. But that was because you were jealous of him. He was the youngest and you used to wet your bed in the nights because you were so insecure. Because you were afraid you were not loved. And you couldnt help it but wet your bed. And you were dead jealous, but you didnt know what jealousy meant back then. And you kept waking up in the middle of the night in a pool of tumbled, wet and cold bed sheets. And you were so ashamed of yourself. 6 years old and trying to change your bedclothes in the, unimaginable for your mind then, small hours with the lights out so that they wouldnt wake up and tell you off. Or you would just crouch and try to avoid the wet spot. But your nighties would be wet and cold and they would stick on your limbs, keeping you freezing until the morning... Maybe youve tried more than you should to keep all this ragged tapestry of people, events and emotions together. And you will be blamed for that in the future. People tell you not to care. But how can you not care when its your family? Makes me wonder... which is the greater distance? Everything changes. Everything goes away... And the only thing thats left to us to connect us with other people is a sequence of numbers per person. Maybe two. Digits hastily saved in the memory of our cell phone. Or on our homes speed dial. Numbers which maybe you have never used more than once, some others never. Of people you once met and you didnt want to lose. But whom you lost and you deceive yourself that by holding this little piece of information that is -admit it- useless to you, you actually keep that person at an arms length. And you dare not erase them, as they make you feel safer. How many times youve browsed through them to soothe your insecurity. I. Know. People. The more, the better. And if, somehow, one day these numbers are erased then you feel how unbearable loneliness and despair can be... No real connection. No feel. No touch. No warmth. No voice even. Bits and bytes on glowing screens. Our speech and thought fragmented and confined into 160-letter crumbs. We will eventually end up unable to operate otherwise... And when you end up alone inside an empty house like this one, that was built to be the shelter of a family and their ever-growing feelings, but now, having started to disintegrate from within, it has remained a vacant ruin, you feel so utterly alone. And you deeply regret the times that you tried to escape from in here. Only that you never really managed to. The further you went, the closer you were drawn to your homestead. Maybe because leaving was not what you really wanted. Because you knew that home was where youve always wanted to be. But you didnt know that then... All you knew was that you wanted to live, to feel, you wanted forget, you wished to be forgotten and start all over again. But now that your devotion to false promise lands was withered away , in terror, you find out that not only you havent escaped from what haunted you, not only you havent forgotten but , instead, there is noone any more, noone that remembers you. All you should have wished for should be some p e a c e ... And you stay in on a cloudy Sunday afternoon. With noone whom you could call. And all those 233 numbers you have, prove insufficient to soothe your pain. Because its early afternoon and it is not polite to call other peoples houses at this time. And the only thing youd want would be to hide into the closet just like when you were young. When trembling from anticipation and excitement, maybe a little scared of the dark as well, peeking through the slight crack between the flaps youd wait for the others to come and find you. Youd watch them look for you under the bed and your desk and impatiently call out your name because it was dinner time! bath time! joanna!... But now, being 21, Im more afraid to do that. More than when I was 6. I dare not hide in the closet. Because then, Id snuggle between piles of clothes and greedily inhale the lingering smell of the detergent my mother used, and watch little specks of dust dance in streams through the waterfalls of sunlight that would sneak through the cracks. And after a while Id see a sweet, dear face with a twinkle in their eyes looking towards the closet and approach and, while opening it, I would throw myself into their arms... Now Im afraid that if I hide myself, very few will realize it. And even fewer will search for me. And noone will stick to it to the end... Im afraid to even try and see if Im right. As, if I do so, I am bound to spend the rest of my few days abandoned in the comfort of my darkness. Noone will come to my rescue. Now, carving deep red trails on my forearms with a pocketknife I used for carving wooden boats of pine wood when I was little and embark little ants onto strange lands after the rain, Im trying to carve little boats and set them assail to drift me away on the ocean of tears that floods my eyes... This is more autobiographical than it should be. More than I can withstand. More than you would want it to be. Having less content than all the previously mentioned... Do let me get away with that... _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 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: More Kissing, Less Dissing (Australian Meet-Ups: Then & Now)
by trixie firecracker 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

Dear Sinister, I have many things to say to you, but I will attempt to condense them into this one email so you don't all start muttering in an annoyed tone about 'youngsters' and 'multiple postings' etc. LOVE IS LIKE A BOTTLE OF GIN Extremely belated I know, but thank you eversomuch to Sen(d)sational Shellie for the lovely 6 inch posable present (and the other stuff), and to Jaunty Jay for being so organised. Yay for Valentines Day Mail.* PERTH VISITATIONS I was most lucky to be visiting my ye olde hometown of Perth a few weeks ago, just when Particularly Pretty Perth Sinister Boys Terry Underwear and Jeremy Tweddle were feeling (h)especially hospitable. If ever you're visiting Perth, look them up. They will show you a Good Time. Terry already reported back on the bowling, but we also went to see 24 Hour Party People (with Kin too! Hello Kin!), AND we had a picnic. So much fun packed into a week and a half. Our picnic was lovely. There were jam tarts, gin and jelly dinosaurs (as well as the obligatory VB and sausages). We played 1.5 a side football, solved a word sleuth and lay about. In the evening we climbed the DNA tower. Yay for Perth Picnicing. I am most jealous of the impending UK/northern hemisphere picnic season. I hope you all attend and have loads of fun. MELBOURNE MUSINGS Since discovering that the Perth Sinisters are so friendly, I have been longing to meet the Melbourne Massive. Longest Lurker Jim is also up for a Massive Meeting. Could there be time for a picnic before the weather turns bad? Maybe bowling is the way to go? Perhaps all interested Sinisters could email me off list? There, that wasn't too bad was it?

Sinister: WAR - what is it good for?
by Dirty Vicar 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

If you support the war against Iraq - I hate you. Well, not you personally, but your opinions. Hate the sin, love the sinner, that's my motto. Mark C., meanwhile, was asking how the meetup of the other B&S hobby in Nottingham went. Actually, it was a lot of fun. Spread over two nights it was, the first being us lot gatecrashing a Track & Field Night. There I met two Sinister subbers, Big Stu and Robin Stout. The latter turns out to be another split allegiance kind of guy, meaning that he also came to the purely Bowlie meetup the next night. Big Stu remains true to Sinister and was only at the T&F night. We discussed issues surrounding the interviewing of B&S, something he has done and I haven't. The T&F night was fun. Being in a club where they are obliged by law to play B&S at least once every hour was a bag of fun, particularly as they at no point played 'Legal Man'. Top marks. The following night was the strictly Bowlie bit of the weekend. although not that strictly Bowlie - you could walk in off the street and go to it, if you had the hireys. A source of some concern on the Bowlie forum is the lack of an identifier for forum regulars, there being none of this upside down badge business to indicate who is a friend and who is not. Anyway, I was one of the DJs at this amazingly brilliant event, starting off with Edwin Starr's 'War' and thereafter playing a somewhat rockist set. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, I know I did. I also managed to introduce the Rock Lock to the Bowlies, raw power. Of course, it probably wasn't as much fun as has been had in ye olde days of this here sinistere liste from before I was a subber, but I wouldn't know about that. It does seem at times as though the great days of Sinister meetups are behind us, and were indeed already over before I signed up to this list. But of course, I'm sure that there will be a monster Sini-picnic in Glasgow the day B&S play there in May. There will, won't there? I am sad that I will not be there, but my ministry requires that I be elsewhere. someone mentioned that I'm always going on about popular band The Chalets. Well, I've just been to see them. They are still the best band that Dublin has ever produced. Sadly, Dublin audiences are a bit under appreciative of them. Nyeh, who cares? Prophets are never appreciated in their own town. time to go now. bless you all, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I did see the Boy last night
by terry underwear 16 Mar '03

16 Mar '03

hey everybody, Last night on Rage (for non-Australian listee's Rage is a music program which is shown on Friday and Saturday nights. It is just film clips, and on Saturday night a local or touring band guest programs their favourite clips/songs) the Lazy Line Painter Jane film clip was shown. It was guest programmed by none other than.....Jimmy Eat World! How strange I thought, but in a good way. Other artists that have guest programmed Belle and Sebastian include Doves (Legal Man) and Stephen Malkmus (Jonathan David). Prior to watching Lazy Line Painter Jane last night I had the pleasure of seeing Teenage Fanclub and Badly Drawn Boy in concert at a mini outdoor festival in the natural surroundings of King's Park. The Boy was a little disappointing, he was quite obnoxious and kept flicking his cigarette butts into the lake where the ducks swim. The songs were performed well though. On the other hand Teenage Fanclub were fantastic! They just make everything seem great. And one lucky Perth sinister boy was singled out from the crowd and congratulated on his choice of t-shirt for the day (a little brown number with the words "Belle and Sebastian" emblazoned across the front). How very exciting! 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: your obsessions get you known
by Ellebelle 15 Mar '03

15 Mar '03

i'm being a bit obsessed with jonathan david and carriage clock at the moment. not quite sure where it came from. i simply woke up one day and had to listen to them. and again. i must be really annoying the girl in the flat above me. mind you, that'll teach her to stop being so loud in her appreciation of her boyfriend's sexual prowess. i really don't want to know but she's not leaving me much option. it's most distasteful. good word, that. most amused to read Kieran's post about his English teacher's approach to plagiarism. a sadistic breed, teachers. especially ones of the English (subject) variety. they were the ones who didn't have friends at school, instead prefering to sit in the corner with a book. why did they become teachers themselves? because they didn't have the imagination to do anything else and because they wanted the excuse to carry on reading to themselves, in a corner, without anyone paying them any attention. i had two amazing English teachers: sally ellias and rob stanley. rob, in particular, didn't mind wearing jumpers him mum had knitted him "look, she dropped a stitch here, and had to catch it up later" and would often stop everything to exclaim "wonderful poetry". Mrs Ellias was also cool, but really lovely with it. all the boys fancied her, and most of the girls did as well. i've finally taken the life-changing decision to get a cat, well two kittens, actually. it's proving more difficult than i thought. i've got to be checked and stuff. bit scared about that. also proving difficult to think of names. and this is where i have a bit of a favour to ask. Honey, would you mind if i name one of my (as yet non-existent) cats 'Honey'? hoping that's ok does anyone have any suggestions for the other name? or suggestions for good pairs of names. let me know. i don't have an imagination, you know. i just sit in the corner reading books. finally got this developed: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ in this one the girl is crying. it really doesn't matter though as you can see it's a wonderment sort of crying. it's a wow, i'm walking up westminster surrounded by more people than i've ever seen in my life and none of us wants war and we're doing something about it. it's a magic sort of crying. it's a embarrassed sort of crying. she really doesn't mean to but it's a bit amazing being by yourself among so many when you're all there for the same reason. you can see her gloved hand is trying to wipe away the tears as she doesn't really want to cry on a thing like a peace march and she's trying to make it look like she's not actually crying. but for some reason she is. you can see faces all around her. if you listen carefully you can hear it's really quiet. people aren't talking or shouting at this bit. you can hear whistles in the distance but that just makes it all a bit more eerie. it doesn't help her stop crying. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ as i walked round town today i saw the redhill peace protester. just opposite the 'real gold medallian' man in the market there was a man with a huge banner round his neck reading NO WAR. i think there was also information about numbers of children who will starve but i didn't stop to see. i now feel really bad about that. how come i could manage to go to the london march but not stop and support one guy who's doing something far braver. standing up for your ideas and beliefs in redhill is not something to be taken lightly. i mean, the big issue guy is established and most people stop to have a chat with him (he's a nice guy). the 'repent or feel the wrath of the lord' people turn up in a group of 3 or 4. this chap was by himself and i just walked on. finally, i'd like to set the record straight: Mr Mark "I never got to be a prefect and i'm still damaged due to this" Cassarotto *demanded* a spelling test for some reason. THere's no way i would inflict speling tests on peple without haveing the ansers in front of me. There's danger I might even be asked to give a spelling myself. looking forward to the big bowl and perky picnic. if dafyd and james make it we will also experience the very first outing of the surrey sinister massive. rahhhhhhhhh. elle x __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Yes, the weekend kicks off with a fun couple of games of bowling at the wonderfully ghetto Rowens Entertainment/Bowling Centre, an event which in the past have produced some of the best (and worst) bowling ever witnessed by mankind. And then after the bowling we can have a few pints to warm up for the following day. SUNDAY 6TH APRIL - SINISTER PICNIC PRIMROSE HILL, LONDON Yes, it is time for the shy sinister boys and girls to get out of their bedroom, and into the springtime. Finally a chance for all sini members alike to meet up and gossip! About the list, the band themselves, or just have a random banter, play football, have sandwiches, drink wine whilst enjoying one of the prettiest view of London from the top of a hill! And when the sun comes down we can retire to a warm cosy pub and chatter some more! Past picnics seem to have helped some of you lonely people find lurrrrrve, too. Hubba hubba! GETTING EXCITED YET?

Sinister: yeah, that's right

Sinister: Am compelled to post again, somewhat in response to postings of Kieran (sp?) and Christine Irene, though not directly B&S related until the end... Firstly did not know that Boards of Canada's "Aquarius" was used in a Mercedes commercial and am disheartened a bit but that's okay. Don't watch much tv anyways. And sure it's nice in a way for music to get out there in tv land but it can really ruin meaningful associations i have with songs. Like Pink Moon in the Volkswagen commercial and every Who song there is it seems. But I really like BOC and the newer album is good - "the devil is in the details" kinda reminds me of Kate Bush's "waking the witch" or something. I liked the Cage poem - was a pleasant reminder of "experiments" i did some years ago, obsessed with randomness. I had a little comic - the quigleys i think - a guy with his fist in his mouth and a lighter to his elbow with the caption "Bob makes a vain attempt to get high on himself." This sentence has 10 words, and I used the random number generator on my calculator to select one of the 10 words in sequence. I continued doing this, writing down the sequence, for a good while. I then recorded myself reciting the poem... get high bob a vain makes on himself a attempt a high bob get bob attempt high to bob on bob....etc. It was a lot of fun... Office Space is a great movie, especially if you haven't seen Friends that often... And to B&S...I got a ukulele for Christmas and learned chords and searched for B&S songs to play (which is how I found Sinster.) I played and sang the song Belle and Sebastian for two coworkers (who knew nothing of B&S in this suburban soundscape of Christina Aguilera and JayZ) here at the call center where i work and they both said they recognized the song. Now my question is....how? where might they have heard it? The only thing i could think of is tv? Or a really popular movie? Or maybe another song that sounds like it? Any ideas? Sincerely, Arin _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 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.
