Sinister: in my life
by Ian Watson 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

I started off seeing Belle & Sebastian gigs in groups of two or three at a time. I guess I was making up for my first big mistake - staying in the bar at the ICA during the support band when the Tindersticks played at the end of 1996. Two days later I had "Sinister" and I've been kicking myself ever since. Next time was different: the two concerts at the start of 1997, QMU in Glasgow and the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh the next day. Both fantastic. Then the first London show at the Union Chapel (terrible compared to the Scottish shows) and the Oxford Zodiac the next day (brilliant). Then two shows in New York. Recording a TV show called the 54th Sessions or something (was this ever shown? I'd love to see it) and the Angel Orresanz Foundation a few days later (Stuart dancing to "What Goes On", clearly overjoyed to be in NYC). I could only make one Manchester show at Christmas, so when they played Leeds, Nottingham and London, I had to go to all three to make up. I made some notes at the Leeds show. I was going to write something about going to all three shows. I took some photos. The pics were so bad, the piece was never written. But here's the interesting bits of what I noted down in Leeds. It's mostly just their banter. There's the making of an Ink Short Film in here somewhere. THAT NIGHT IN LEEDS IN 1998 Thursday 17th - sinatra the movie years - Friday 18th chas n dave - 19th royal family - the ultimate tribute to queen - freddy mercury - built in 1865 - chaplin and houdini performed here - ³Come on² is that a member of the verve in the audience - mad bloke up at the stage - stand where you want - get him onstage to dance - b&S bez - come on and dance down the front - ³Century Of Fakers² - he tried his best but he ended up looking dumb - Century Of Strippers² - ³The Wrong Girl² - can we have a starry backdrop for this one - the girls sit down =- ³Spaceboy Dream² =- ³Get Me Away² - ³has anyone got their tickets for chas and dave. I¹ve got mine, chas and dave are much better than us - ³Yeah!² ³To Sir With Love² - what a rabble - big cheer - dog on wheels - dream two -= stevie so stern with his little flourishes - mick forward and gorgeous trumpet - ³Loneliness Of The Middle Distance Runner² - used to work in this building - serge gainsbourg song - ³all the girls have to take their tops off² s: ³boys too² - ³state I¹m in² - everyone singing - ³Lazy Line Painter Jane² steve doing the soulful singing = plays his guitar like every chord is his last - ³It could have been a brilliant career² - chris and stuart david on guitar - dylan - losing it - has anyone got a two pound coin I can have - self conscious stevie - chick factor - someone shouts ³you;¹re sexy² sixty, do I look old? - forgotten the words on the last song =- rollercoaster ride - I MENTION ALL THIS BECAUSE... I'm doing three nights in a row again myself - London, Oxford and Nottingham - and I can't help think of how much my life has changed since the first three night stand. I should think so too: it's been five long years. But even so. You don't expect so much to happen. But it does. It happens all the time. You can't stop it. For some reason, I've got "In My Life" playing in my head right now. Nice harpsichord. Anyway... How Does It Feel To Be Loved? across the nation (well, a bit of it) June 19th, Buffalo Bars, Underneath the Famous Cock Tavern, right outside Highbury & Islington tube, London, 9pm-2am, £3 in - guests The Happy Couple (Germany's finest indie Motown DJ team) June 20th, Upstairs @ The Folly Bridge Inn, Abingdon Road, Oxford. 7.30pm - 11.30. £3 entry. June 21st, Junktion 7, Nottingham - with Fosca, The Liberty Ship, Hellfire Sermons and me and Stuart Murdoch DJ-ing. Adm: £4/5.

Sinister: A summer that doesn't feel wasted
by Caitlin Ross 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

Thanks to everyone who came along to the lovely sunny Greenwich Park on Saturday. We were such stars, we were given a naval gun salute whilst waiting in Cutty Sark Gardens. After realising that Ken would probably take hours to arrive, we set off up the hill into the park. We sat on the grass and watched squirrels, illicit barbecues and women being pulled around in little carts. We talked about pigeon porn, gingerbread orgies, and a dog invaded the picnic and started licking someone's cherries. Over in the distance, three men were making a pop video. One looked a little like Moby, or maybe Michael Stipe. They tried to throw a big yellow balloon about, but it hovered in midair and blew off in the wrong direction. They stage-fought each other with umbrellas; we wondered if it was a Bulgarian spy training school. Eventually their balloon burst, so they had to make do with their umbrellas, and a guitar they took turns to strum tunelessly. My holiday in London made me want to come down to London all the time and do stuff like that *every* weekend. I mean, it's the BIG CITY! Many thanks to Ken for emailing you all about it when I couldn't post to the list, and Mark, Neil, Paul, James and Tara for coming along too. In London, I was staying with an old friend (who doesn't like B&S), in a wee basement flat somewhere between Brixton and Stockwell. Sitting on his sofa on my first evening, I looked around and took in the room. Over in the corner on the far side of the room was a big shelf bursting with CDs. I flicked my eyes over their spines, and saw one whose spine was mostly white with black writing, but with a small patch of green at one end. "Woo!" I thought, "this is going to be a good holiday." love xx Caitlin -- http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Which reminded me that I hadn't told you that I'd actually got round to updating the list and putting it in some sort of order and everything. Look, it is here: http://www.geocities.com/carsmilesteve/allmusicisintrinsicallylinked.htm If you think of any more let me know and they'll probably go up in about 12 months time :) Stefano has been talking about HIDE park, and I'm assuming he means HYDE park, named after the character in Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde, you know. I shall not be there as I shall be at glasto, probably drinking perry, mmm, perry... If YOU are going to glastonbury, come to the brothers bar perry stall by the oneworld stage on Thursday nite, were there shall be all the interweb people I know (who are at glastonbury) (blimey, what a venn diagram that would make. Did you know you can make venn diagrams in excel now, they're a bit rub though?). Even the non-sinister ones are quite nice. But what I really want to know is how are robin's potatoes getting on?? Also does anyone know if proper ITV (or even ITV2) will be showing the africa concert for those of us who had never heard of Karen Dunbar before the gig? Oh while I've got your attention, can I just point you to this link too: http://ilx.wh3rd.net/images/FTflyer.gif It's ME! Djing! With some other people!! It's free!!!! And everything!!!! And now, let us never speak of it again... I should be going to my class tonight, but I think I might go and see YOU in the pub (although, statistically speaking, it's likely that I have already seen you in the pub, if you were there, as you are more likely to see this missive tomorrow, ie today)... Also happy bloomsday :) xoxo CarsmileSteve +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Things & Stuff
by paul hardman 16 Jun '03

16 Jun '03

20 things tickling me at present are....................... 1. <STEREO TOTAL> Without a doubt the coolest band in the world. 2. The prospect of seeing Ronaldhino line up behind The Van Man. 3. My local boozer, now, The Hill St Blues Waarmoerstraat. 'Cause you can meet someone from somewhere different everyday. 4. The girl from New Jersey I met in there on Friday. 5. The fact that i'm going after work as it's someone's boithday today. 6. Missing all the sun in Amsterdam this weekend because my mate came down from Brussels to play the new imported ISS Winning 11 game. Almost better than watching the real thing. 7. The fact that my â^Â¬50 bag of Thai is still half full. Bought last week. (I have a never ending supply). 8. Going to see <STEREO TOTAL> in Brussels a few weeks ago, Anarchy. 9. My home recording studio is now working, watch out everyone. 10. Getting the 'Son of Osiris' God power in Age of Mythology and winning the game with him. 11. Reading, "Rolling with the 6.57 crew" and realising that save a few black eyes and bruises, I ain't missing too much. Don't bother reading it, it was lent to me. 12. Sunshine in Amsterdam......makes it a completely different place. 13. The way the girls these days seem to want to outdo each other by wearing as little clothing as possible during the hot weather. Still not competetive enough in my book. 14. Not having to give a f*** about Big brother everywhere as we only get BBC1 & 2 over here. Though I never saw it whilst still living in Warrington. Far too many talentless people on the t.v. these days. Talentless presenters, presenting talentless acts. I think we're worth a little more than that. 15. Watching England stuttering on the Euro decision from overseas. When currencies change, and this for me is the thing to remember. You're spending habbits don't....that much. Couldn't care less myself what picture is on any note as there is only one important detail on it....the amount. 16. The fact that out of all the countries that went into the Euro, one of the only one's that did'nt, (England) has exactly the same monetry demoninations. 1p, 2p, 5p etc all the way down my friends. 17. My supervisor's gone to France for 2 weeks thus giving me the office to myself...........so I end up doing stuff like this. 18. Playing Bomb Jack on my Mcmame for the last 20 mins of my shifts everyday. Anyone beat 338880? 19. Trying to be clever on internet dating sites. Good God, this makes me not only a loser but with all the computer references, a nerd also, you'd think. 20. Being such a sweet nice person that I only hate Two things.....living things & objects. 'H'. _________________________________________________________________ Stay in touch with absent friends - get MSN Messenger http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Reporting back (on future plans)
by Stefano [Steady-State] 15 Jun '03

15 Jun '03

Dear Sinister Greenwich village was very busy, people coming and going from the marked, I suppose, or the shops, or, might be, just heading to the park. There is not such a good afternoon then one spent in the park, and if it is spent at a sinister picnic it is even better. Before going there we stayed for a while at the Cutty Sark place, where skater did entertain the ice cream furnished crowd by jumping up and down the wooden stairs. Indeed the presence of the boat, the ice cream selling vans, the number of children, and, at last, the temperature, made me forget for a second we were actually staying in London, but rather in some marine resort. Ok, there was not a beach, and no swimming, danger: sharks panel, but still all looked extremely summery. So listing (and apologise if Ill forgive anyone); James, Paul, Neil, Tara, Mark, and, of course, Caitlin. Ken joined us a bit later on the top of the hill, where we sitting in the shadow. The afternoon passed very pleasantly, drinking a! little bit less then usual, eating seasons fruit (sounds a bit to healthy, indeed) and neck less gingerbread man. This has been till a light but rather cold breeze started to blow and we moved a little bit more in sunlight, and became part of the background of what we had finally decide it was musical video, in which three man wearing dark suits and umbrella, were pushing a fluorescent yellow balloon. It was argued what was the idea behind playing with a yellow balloon and what does it symbolise, but I think Ive missed the final conclusion. At the end the balloon exploded and the men walked away. Look forward to see if Ill see the video one day on the telly. That should be fun. It is amazing how long the day can be in this country in the summer. I know it is not so surprising for most of you, but coming from continental Europe full sunlight at about eight p.m. is really astonishing. So we stayed for a bit longer, before the traditional move to the pub, from which we could see the sun sets over the Thames. And that was here were still people in the pub, so I cant say how the day ended, but I really hope, and I am almost sure, in the best way as possible. *Future plans for picnic kids* I had before mentioned that we might have had a picnic on the 28th June in Hide Park. As James suggested yesterday we shall have a TOUR in ALL the PARKS in LONDON! Such a GREAT IDEA!! So as Primrose Hill and Greenwich has been recently explored I think we can Do Hide Park. If you fancy coming these are details: Saturday 28th June HIDE PARK (Corner) Ideally meeting outside the tube station at about 2ish Of Course everybody is welcome but NEWCOMERS are more then ever. Will it be a bit scary? Ehm ehm eventually Will it be funny? almost definitely. I hope at least Hope you all are fine Take care Yours truly, rather 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: never fast on an empty stomach
by terry underwear 15 Jun '03

15 Jun '03

I am currently working on what I consider to be one of the greatest books ever written. But I don't think I'll finish it cause the print is so small. I'm reading "Getting Even" by Woody Allen at the moment. I am going to make a bold statement and say *it is the funniest thing I have ever read* (imagine the bold text and it is less not funny). ba doom ching(i've always wanted to make an intertextual joke... if only I could use Comic Sans font, though some would say that joke was Sans Comic). As you can see this book is having a big influence on me - I'm trying to make twice as many double entendre's as I usually do (I guess they would be quadruple entendre's if you get my meaning meaning meaning meaning*). It is a collection of pieces he wrote for magazines in the 60's, and includes tales of Hitler's hairdresser, transcripts from a chess-by-mail game, Metterling's laundry lists, and lots of other hilarious stuff. This book will change your life, though as you can see this may not be a good thing. Woody Allen is fantastic. I have devoted the last year of my life to watching every Woody film, but I've still got quite a lot to go. My favourites so far are Sleeper and Annie Hall (which is Stuart Murdoch's favourite film. Isn't Stuart's diary great? His latest entry is a poem titled "I'm in love with my therapist"). "Slim's Shout" by Sunnyland Slim has been in my discman lately. I know nothing about Blues music or Blues musicians, but this album completely blues my socks off, leaving me with cold feet. I should stop now before I turn into a blubbering mess, or my brain turns on me and causes reversible damage (okay all together now: "groan"). love, terry *I will send a prize to anyone who can come up with a funny quadruple entendre without looking at a James Joyce novel or a Shakespeare play. Dictionaries and thesaurus' are allowed. And bonus points for smuttiness and Belle and Sebastian references! --- here's what i think: http://naivetysucceeds.blogspot.com caitlin and terry's sinister recipe tree archives: http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/sinifood/ ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...

Sinister: And the silver stream is a poor man's wine
by David Moore 14 Jun '03

14 Jun '03

Hi All, This is the only time I ever wrote to Sinister without any trouble thinking of Sir Cliff Richard. That's because I got to hear a recording of "Wrapped Up In Books" today, and despite the audience chatter its posssible to make out that part of the song is reminiscent of a bit of "In The Country" which Cliff and the Shadows released in December 1966, I think. So there's another one of those similarities to add to the list. .................. I know that people hate short posts on this list, but having sat here at the keyboard staring at the screen for ten minutes I don't have anything else to say. Except of course that I love you all dearly, even those of you I don't.

Sinister: Mistaking fists for flowers
by Dean Gillon 13 Jun '03

13 Jun '03

Hi everyone, hope you're all well. Instead of a normal post, or whatever passes for a normal post, I've done a list of 20 GOOD THINGS. There's some clues in there about what I've been up to, but mostly they're just GOOD THINGS. Hope this doesn't piss off anyone who insist that lists aren't allowed on the list (huh?) In fact, thinking about it, I hope it does piss them off. *hwar hwar* Was it not Noam Chomsky who said "for fucks sake Dean, just get on with it and let those good people get back to their tiramisu". They're not in any particular order. I think everyone should do a list too. But no B&S songs; I think we'd probably all agree on those (apart from "Beyond the Sunrise" which always gets skipped by me :o) ) Here we go. 1. Motorised screwdrivers; 2. When you play Grand Theft Auto - Vice City for that long that when you're driving you think, just for a split second, of driving your car off bridges, over car carrier thingies and mowing down old ladies (ps - did anyone hear the rumour that eminem is going to play Tommy in a Vice City movie?); 3. Scooping the inside out of a jacket potato, mixing with cheese and butter, mashing it up with a fork, and serving it on toast - sounds weird, actually pretty good. You could probably add some tuna too; 4. The Rocky Horror Picture Show; 5. Driving through the English countryside too fast when it's sunny, singing along to "Come on Feel the Lemonheads" at the top of your voice. 6. When you put your trousers in the wash and check your pockets beforehand and pull out a twenty pound note you didn't know you had; 7. The new Canyon CD - Empty Rooms; 8. Halibut in a white wine and stilton sauce, served with even more white wine, asparagus and potatoes; 9. Moving in with your girlfriend within two weeks of knowing her after the blind date mentioned in the previous post about a month back; 10. A good beer garden; 11. Writing posts to a Belle and Sebastian mailing list with very little Belle and Sebastian content whatsoever - um, apart from this and the bit above *natch*; 12. Last weekend's stag do in Newcastle despite the enormous expense, and another weekend away in Whitby a couple of weeks ago, despite the enormous expense; 13. Arguing with stupid fuckwitted councillors who insist that things should operate in a certain way because that's the way they've always been done; 14. My brilliant new Elvis cufflinks; 15. Going to see an outdoor production of Merchant of Venice, in the sun, with yet more wine. And noisy peacocks too which become part of the play in a weird manner; 16. Watching Blair squirm about this dodgy intelligence dossier; 17. Being really snobby about people who watch Big Brother; 18. Eddie Izzard - particularly his older stuff; 19. Dogs, particularly large stupid drooly ones like golden retrievers and labradors; 20. Babangida the flying Nigerian winger in Championship Manager 4. Have fun Dean X __________________________________________________ Yahoo!
