Sinister: *another oldie de-lurks*
by Ailsa Watson 17 Sep '03

17 Sep '03

Blimey, it's been a while. Mark has inspired me to write for two reasons. One because he's been banging on about great old folks from Sinister history who never post, and DIDN'T MENTION ME, and secondly because he asked if anyone had a spare standing ticket for the Glasgow gig. Which apparently someone did. As do I. Which means I still have one. Does anyone want it? Mail me off list please, and it will be sorted out (or not if lots of people mail me as I only have one). someone said >In small but significant ways this lot has shaped and moved a bit of the >path I walk now... I'm ever so thankful and bitter. >It couldn't have happened to a more impressionable girl >at the hands of an unforgivably right bunch of kids. >Though I'm nearly 30 now... it doesn't feel old in sinister years-it just >makes me feel experienced. Which is almost exactly how I feel about Sinister. It's given me some of my best memories, my best friends, and it'll always have a place in my heart for that. Even if I don't need it so much any more, it's nice to know it's here. And that it still matters to people. Actually the reason Mark maybe never mentioned me is because I have nothing to say. Sorry.

Sinister: GLASTO MEETUP (tried to think of a punning title, but failed, so went for direct option)
by Hewitt, Stephen 14 Jul '03

14 Jul '03

Um, just a quick one kiddywinks. In case any of you are going to glastonbury and have missed the frankly scintillating conversations on siniglasto about inflatable canoes, poo and giant robot donald fishers this is just to let you know that there will be an exciting gathering of the tribes/picnic/FAP (sinister, other belle and sebastian interweb hobby, franks, space-cadets, ilx and several random others all in the same place at once!!) with the following details: Thursday night (from 7ish) Oneworld (nee Jazzworld, nee Jazz) Field Next to the BROTHERS BAR perry stall With an inflatable canoe. Apparently. Come, it shall be fun :) Perry is pear cider by the way, it tastes like sweets. Sweets with lots of alcohol in, that is... There is also possible hanging around in the field of lost vagueness (I'm not making this up, you know) on Saturday afternoon, but no firm plans as such... KEN CHU may even be there, well he'll certainly be on site, but whether you can get past the screaming ladies and his burly bouncers is another matter entirely... (hehehe "burly bouncers") Woohoo I'm going to be in a field in two days time!!! xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: he goes to school around the way...
by Sunny set 29 Jun '03

29 Jun '03

The dog looked confused. She looked at the small grey box which seemed to know her name. Then at her girl. Then back the small grey box. It really did know her name. She was confused, was it some sort of trick? The girl looked at her and laughed. She wasn't much help in these situations. The dog sighed and concentrated hard. The small grey box sung her name again. "Belle was ok but, oh Sebastian, went too far again..." The dog ran in circles with excitement. The dog didn'tt know anyone called Sebastian but that didn't matter to her. There was no doubt in her mind that the song was about her. She made it her mission in life to discover what the song was about. Head cocked to one side she studiously listened. 2 minutes later though she was bored and made it her mission in life to find food. She didn't like to trouble herself with things for too long. There were too many different things that needed investigating. The girl on the otherhand remained on the floor listening to other songs. It was hard to remember the time before when it was just her, well her and him, that knew these songs. Of course there was never really a time when that was true, but it had certainly felt that way. The girl was never sure why she loved the music. Being in love with anything is complicated and the more you analyse the less certain you become as to what it is you love. Whenever she tried to explain to someone else what was so great about a song she found herself floundering. It was staring at closed eyelids with notes flying through the space around her. It was the way she could go back and listen to something and find it soothe her through the lonely uncertain times and bring near perfection to the happier moments. It was just a feeling. The dog ran back in and licked her face. Then for good measure she ran and licked the small grey box. She felt it deserved it for bringing a smile to the girl's face and a wag to her tail. Hope you are all well, Take Care Rachel ************* This is why we stay alive. Think about it.

Sinister: The state that I am in
by Chris Eames 27 Jun '03

27 Jun '03

Has anyone ever woken up in the morning and felt sort of empty inside? I felt like that today so I decided to go wandering around book shops for the afternoon. Book shops have always had a kinda calming effect on me, a bit like old libraries. They are more dangerous than libraries though. I always have to make sure I don't end up buying too many books, they can be far too expensive (especially text books). I think it would be quite nice to work in a book shop, although mabey not when thousands of people are trying to get their hands on a copy of harry potter! A really loud car alarm has been going off for the last fifteen minutes outside my house, it was starting to give me a headache but it has just stopped. I think it was a good thing really, as I can now appreciate the silence that it has left behind. The worst thing that happened to me today was when the batteries ran out on my minidisk player just as i started to walk home. That tends to happen whenever I really need to listen to something. The best thing that happened to me today was when i found a Grandaddy album i was after was on special offer for £4.99! Hmmm having looked at what I have typed so far, its all sounding qite gloomy for which I appologise. I will brighten up the post by ending with happy picknick thoughts. Hopefully tomorrow will be sunny in a summer wasting happy kinda way :) Now it is just starting to get dark outside, so I will leave you waiting for the moon to rise. xxxChris ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

Sinister: nyde park picnic+notes
by Stefano [Steady-State] 27 Jun '03

27 Jun '03

Dear all Sinister This is just a brief note to remember that there will be a picnic in hyde park tomorrow the 28th of June, the meeting point is fixed outside hyde park corner tube station at about 2ish. Unfortunately I won´t be able to be there, because of rather unexpected and I would say quite dramatic circumstances I am back in my little village in northern Italy after leaving the UsofA in a certain kind of rush. Dave (dafyd) will take over as a picnic mum. Hope there´ll be a massive there, that is going be a great day and take picture I can look at once I´ll be back Take care you all Yours sinister (and almost steady) Stefano ~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~ in the time of the winter the waiter fell into the snow he could hear a voice but will he ever find his way if I'm so far from your heart why do I feel it beat and time won't wait for us ~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: shameless plug - La Traviata from Paris - Wnet Ny area

I'd like to ask someone who can reach wnet in the NY area a favour. On June 28 at 1:30 pm they'll broadcast a performance of La Traviata my dad is after - could anyone record this (my dad has a video recorder supporting all formats so american format wouldn't be a problem) in exchange for a fresh video tape and Austrian chocolates + postage? -- I am not a misanthropist, some of my best friends are human. http://www.clodia.net +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Date: Wed, 25 Jun 2003 19:11:47 +0100
by Emma Cooper 25 Jun '03

25 Jun '03

Hello Hope everyone's having fun. This is my first post. I'm a bit nervous. I found out about Belle & Sebastian from my 28 year old cousin Jesse and his long time girlfriend (now split up, he's a bit upset) Mary. They had all the EPs and played some to me at a family do and it sounded good so I ended up getting into it. I have fold your hands... and the boy with the arab strap, but i get the impression from this list I should get Tigermilk. I watched star wars on saturday and now desperately want someone to do a sketch whereby Darth and Luke are fighting and Darth goes " (swoosh, swoosh) Joyhn tha daaahhk side sahn" and Luke goes " (swoosh, swoosh) yaow cahn't tell me wot to do, yaour nort moiy fahver" and then Darth swooshes some more and says " yes I ahm" and then you hear duh, duh, duhduhdduhduh ( Eastenders themetune). I guess that looks pretty stupid if you didn't see eastenders around christmas time. Oh well I Finished my a-level exams today. It was a bit strange leaving a school I had walked to every day for 7 years. The first five years were awful with fun bits and then the last 2 were really fun and good, mainly because the year went from 130 horrible people and 20 nice people to around 70 ok people and some very nice ones. Hopefully come results day I'll have a-levels in maths, french and chemistry. I haven't been to any Belle & Sebastian gigs but I intend to when I can in the future. It's very nice weather here, hot sunny. ( I live in the Peak District in the north of England) Emma +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
