Sinister: The boy punned wrong again
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.org 06 Jun '03

06 Jun '03

DAWG ON WHEELS Poor Retrosec talked of her woes with payment methods for a car, what you need is to get youreslf a Platinum credit card, dahlink. £50,000 credit limit yo. "Yeah I'll take that car, and yes of course I'd like a cigar for I'm bling bling." Not that I have one of those, mind. I'm all about Graduate Account mastercards that charge you a frigging fiver for forgetting (alliteration!) to pay the £100 you owe for one day. cheeky beggars. Honestly though, do people still use cheques these days? It's all about e-banking nowadays. *Ken writes this as he transfers his share of the month's rent to his flatmate's account. Anyway, I call my car M983KNH. Cool eh? I've even got name badges with the name on that I stick onto the car, twee, I know. ELECTRONIC BANKING RENAISSANCE What goes well the best with e-banking?? e-BAY, of course! Hurrah for cheap PS2s on ebay, and now I'm (almost) a proud owner of a PS2 (I will be when that dude finally sends it). Yeah I'm usually about 3 years late on new technologies like this, but the PS2 will have D!V!D! playing ability, which will enable me to watch the B!&!S! D!V!D! when it comes out! Ohhh yes. When is it coming out though? The date 17th June crops up every now and then on various websites etc., is that something that should be taken as gospel? Or is it more of a hello! magazine kind of thing to be taken as? THE stARS OF TRACK AND FIELD Paul Arathoon mentioned the death of track and field >>p.s. I would just like to say RIP to the track and Field night which had its last night late last month. It was London's best indie club with a guaranteed 3 or 4 B&S tracks plus VU, Lovin Spoonful, Nick Drake, hefner etc etc.<< Well, apparently they didn't really like playing B&S tracks if you read their website. http://www.trackandfield.org.uk/club.htm Sounds a little bitter to me. Anyway, I've heard rumours that the legendary TIGERMILKING is having a Revival Starting Mid-July to claim back its rightful spot as London's premier night club! I'm sure more details will be to come sooon.

Sinister: more on possible picnic arrangements
by Caitlin Ross 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

In case you didn't notice, I suggested the other day that a London picnic on June 14th would be nice. One person contacted me to agree, and suggested that Greenwich would be the best location for it, because then you can get there via the Docklands railway and sit at the front as it tunnels under the river. And Greenwich Park is just nice, generally, and you can do all the exciting touristy things like stand on the zero-degrees line. But anyway. The thing is, though, only one person *has* got in touch. I know I'm being a bit rushed about all this, but I'm on holiday after tomorrow and won't be able to post to the list to organise anything after that - well, until after the 14th, at least. And a picnic with just two people would be a bit rubbish (although I've been to one with just four before, I admit). Therefore, if you definitely want to come to a picnic in London, probably Greenwich, on Saturday June 14th, can you please email me as soon as possible - preferably by THIS TIME TOMORROW - and - assuming this holiday plan does all actually work out and everything - I'll try and make sure something gets arranged. Sorry about the rushing and urgency, Love, Caitlin -- http://www.joannou.net/topofthestairs/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Lordy!
by Lucy Alder 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

Sinister, my dear old friend, Carla's looking for people who want to set James Joyce's work to music. She may as well have writtien THE PINEFOX, THIS IS THE MUSICAL PROJECT YOU'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF! I hope he contributes. Idleberry has named her baby Poppy. Just like fat tongue boy Jamie Oliver did. Har! Archel, did you do it on purpose? Talk of Sinister Gold has made me wistful. Fans of SG might be interested to hear that Miss Paula Cullen Booze Explosion will be at the Winchester Club tomorrow night with her band The Chalets (see http://www.geocities.com/the_winchester_club) They really are rather good. But that's only what you'd expect of a Sinisterine, eh? Another old sinister face, drunken Matt, was in Glasgow this week. We went to the pub with Ally C and Richard JG and Nick D and won the quiz! And then drunken Matt ruined his reputation by leaving early to get a good night's sleep before work in the morning. Tsch! How the mighty are fallen. I'd like to echo Paul's sentiments about looking forward to the new B&S record. Not in a fannish way though, I just can't wait to hear what Trevor Horn has done with them. According to Popbitch, Trev has volunteered his services to revive the UK's Eurovision reputation next year. God knows, we need all the help we can get.

Sinister: James Joyce Project:Bands Needed
by minster＠fsmail.net 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

Right-I'll get this out of the way now... I know this is likely to get me kicked(or worse, harrassed) off the list but that's a chance I'm willing to take. Fire Records have a project in the making that I think would likely appeal to a whole host of you talented lot, I suppose the idea is to make the offer and hope the response is warm and overwhelming! I will apologise in advance for the shameless promotion, but won't apologise for the opportunity to scare up some more incredibly savoury interest in this project. Press Release to Follow... -------------------------------------------------------------- James Joyce- Chamber Music: Poetry In 36 Parts (1907) The impetus is love, and what could be more universal? James@Fire Records(London) is actively seeking out bands to show interest and ultimately commit to the project. It's incredibly ambitious and has a tremendous amount of scope. The project is truly visionary and it is hoped will appeal to a diverse collective of artists & audience. The aim is essentially this: Chamber Music is a 1907 Poem split into 36 parts. We're looking to find 36 bands to set each poem to music. This was attempted in 1909 by a friend of Joyce's - but the first public performance was by Adolf Mann in 1910.This will result in a double disc release with the potential for an evening of live performance in London- later this year. James thinks: ''Chamber Music charts love, love that ultimately ends in failure. So to me it's very real - and I (like most people) have experienced that in many different forms. Its one story, one song - split into 36 parts - each part bringing you deeper in - and each part capturing each stage of development. I believe that each band will be able to do that and offer if nothing else a piece of themselves.'' This is to be a double disc, further to a double vinyl version for the kids(*wink*) Each band will be choosing their verse it's a case of first come first serve, quite literally. Each track should ideally clock in around 2 odd minutes The following link will bring you to a source of the entire body of work: http://www.online-literature.com/james_joyce/1066 A hard copy can be supplied if it's more convenient. James is available to answer any and all questions you might have about the particulars of the project as it is taking shape- please direct all queries and concerns to his attention. Contact us directly to make a stanza selection. He can be reached at james(a)firerecords.com I can be reached at carla(a)firerecords.com There has been such an amazing response this early on- the quality is staggering, couldn't really be more pleased about it. Thanks in advance for all the interest and attention that is bound to make this endeavor a huge success.

Sinister: I believe Thunder Road by Bruce Springsteen is the best song since 1970
by Paul Arathoon 04 Jun '03

04 Jun '03

I reckon it's about 6 six years I joined Sinister and how it's changed since then with all of this new-fangled "Reporting Back" malarky. OK.. it hasn't changed an iota. The people change (Duke Of Harringay where are you? (Harringay probably but that's not the point)) but the song still remains the same. I would report back but I failed to make it to Glasgow, the scene of my first B&S live experience in 2001. Never go back to the scene of an old crime they say. Well I can't really remember breaking the law but I remember almost breaking my back in a Glasgow nightclub where at least one other Sinister member was dancing along. Anyway, i digress... The point of this post is to say how much I am looking forward to new B&S stuff. i really am. i struggle to get excited about new music (a sure sign I am reaching 25 later this year) and the last 5 records i bought read Velvet Underground, the smiths, the smiths, love and White stripes. And I've only played the White stripes a couple of times. I've been looking at my parent's collection of Fleetwood Mac, Bruce Springsteen (thunder Road is a disjointed classic) and ELO. I need new B&S to save me and make me dance in my room again. P p.s. I would just like to say RIP to the track and Field night which had its last night late last month. It was London's best indie club with a guaranteed 3 or 4 B&S tracks plus VU, Lovin Spoonful, Nick Drake, hefner etc etc. _________________________________________________________________ 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: the worst B&S puns I could think of
by Retro^Sec 04 Jun '03

04 Jun '03

well, there she is. My little cute VW Polo, sitting in the driveway. Thanks to Archel, I think Poppy is a fantastic name. My brother suggested Kitty, becuase of her purring (I know all cars purr, but she's almost musical when shes purring). I like both names, but I think Poppy is a good name. Kitty can be her middle name. Thanks to all who responded to my email last night. Anyway, in the mood for making this a more open email, rather than just for people interested in me and my car, I thought I'd throw in a bit of B&S for good measure. So songs for listening to when driving: The Estate I am In I Love My Car Is it wicked not to Ka Don't Leave the lights on Baby Scooby Driver Judy and the dream of Horsepower Theres too much rev Belle and Saabastian speed the clock around An Espace boy Dream Judy is a Dipstick Gearstick factor Get me away from here I'm driving The cars of track and field My Wandering Days are over Tigra-milk I'll stop now.

Sinister: Belle and Sebastian News Mailing List (fwd)
by Linda Kerr 04 Jun '03

04 Jun '03

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2003 15:18:30 -0000 From: band(a)banchory.net To: lulou(a)crockery.org Subject: Belle and Sebastian News Mailing List Hi all, The band are still busy in the studio at the moment, but some of them are participating in a couple of DJ sets coming up that you may be interested in heading along to, if you're in the UK. Richard & Chris are DJ-ing at The Social, Pelham Street Nottingham on 23rd June from about 9.30pm as part of the You Are Here Festival. Before that, Nottingham's finest Earth The Californian Love dream will be playing, and there will be all sorts of odd events happening that evening. Tickets cost a fiver, available from Broadway Box Office, Broad Street, Nottingham NG1 3AL, tel: 0115 9526611. They go on sale tomorrow - June 5th - and will sell super-fast, so get yours now! You can get more info about the festival by visiting http://www.yah.org.uk Stuart is also DJ-ing in Nottingham for the Nottingham Stop the War Coalition Gig & Disco on Saturday June 21st from 7.30pm til 1am at Junktion 7 on 6 Ilkeston Rd, NG7. Admission is £4 in advance or £5 on the door. Fosca, The Liberty Ship and Hellfire Sermons are the "gig" part and Stuart is DJ-ing alongside Ian Watson of "How Does It Feel" fame. You can get more info about the show by visiting www.tastyfanzine.org.uk Thanks to everyone who made it along to the Concern Concert for Africa show. We helped to raise £50,000 for Concern's appeal to help the famine in Africa, and the broadcast on STV/Grampian should have hopefully raised even more for the cause. Stuart did an interview on BBC Scotland with Janice Forsyth the morning before the show, and Janice kindly donated her original copy of "Tigermilk" complete with invitation tickets to the launch party for us to auction to raise money for Concern. We've also got some mementos from the show, AAA passes, a t-shirt, posters etc. and the record has been signed by the band too, so when we get it organised, you can start placing bids on the package. Lastly, we've made new t-shirts! You can view the new "Graffiti" colour-ways (Zinc Grey and Sky Blue) and "Ampersand" skinny-fit shirts (Heather Grey) online by visiting http://www.banchoryshop.net/search.asp?search=belle Chris has also finished the designs for the Baseball caps and Stuart the Football shirts (with a bit of help from Rachel, thanks Rachel!) so they should be online soon too.

Hello Sinister. Congrats on the new car idles! What kind of car is she? What does she look like? Then maybe I can come up with some sort of name that you may approve of. It is always nice to have a car of your own that you pay for on your own...except for the bills of course. As for banks...I don't know much about them. It is dumb to wait days for a check to clear. If I were in charge of all banks...I would make them cooler. :) Hope everyone is doing well.

Sinister: Judy and the dream of Horsepower
by Retro^Sec 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

hi sinister I'm in a pretty filthy mood right now. Filthy as in bad, rather than kinky, so don't get any ideas that this post will be anything less of a rant and a moan. BANKS Banks are gits. CAN anyone explain, why in the UK, it takes days for a cheque to clear? I'm only asking, becuase I was due to pick up my beloved car today. For those of you who don't know: I passed my test, and bought a car the next day. Bought, as in "I'll have one of those in red please, here's £100 deposit." (You don't know how cool that felt to actually say that. Some of you might object to the whole idea of wealth, but y'know, still, being able to say that felt good. Oh, I'm so ruled by money sometimes. I bet they thought I was a prat in the dealers, but I don't care) And then? then came the insurance. The company who offered me the lowest rate, was Diamond, and I'm yet to work out the catch. It was £500 less than what the AA could find, and £300 less than the RAC. Then I had to get a loan, and get stroppy in a bank when they were going to charge me for transferring money to my other account. I threatened to close my account altogether, so they let me off with it, and did it all free of charge. I just don't understand, why, in a world of computers and technobuffins, that to transfer money I had to either: 1. pay £18 for a telegraph transfer (telegraph? a bit 19th Century, don't you think?) 2. Pay £2.50 and wait a few days for a bog-standard transfer 3. Walk two miles with a cheque in my hand to the other bank and wait five days for the cheque to clear. Anyway. I got it sorted. And I got my loan through, and now I have to wait a few days for that to clear. But to pay for my car by cheque, I'd have to wait ten working days, which I don't get, I wonder if they send it half way round the world for everyone o have a good look at it and make sure they agree. So I agreed with my dad he'd pay for it, and I'd write him a cheque later when my loan has cleared. I WANT MY CAR NOW!!! anyway, complications have set in, and I'm not very happy about it. Its taking all the romance out of shopping, and turning it into something cold and cruel and seedy. Second thing, I don't yet know if my car is a boy or a girl, but either way it needs a name. I seem to be veering towards a girls name at the moment, so it might be a girl car. I have this feeling that we can do this whole female bonding thing if it is a girl, rather than risk a battle of the sexes if it is a little boy car. Names I've got to rule out include: Ruby: A friend of my boss already has a car called Ruby, and its the same colour and model. My car will just be confused if she shares its name with another car. Scarlet (as in o'hara): primarily because I keep thinking of Miss Scarlet. While some of the boys on this list might not object to being able to say in all honesty "I ride Scarlet!", I feel my car needs a name of her own, otherwise it won't be my car. I like individualism. Daisy: A name I had thought of, until my boyfriend told me his parents old car was called Daisy, because it made a moo noise. So that name has been taken. Blossom: Powerpuff girl. Shes not as cool as Buttercup but she has that red-head thing going on. But shes just not the cool one. Buttercup: Powerpuff girl. Becuase I want to be Buttercup. Milly: I liked it at first, then I thought of Milly's cookies. So I thought that was a bit corporate. Might as well call her Starbucks. Rose/Rosie: too many people with that name already. It will distract me. I thought of calling it "Blue", for one reason that it will just confuse people. "Blue the red car". But then, there's only a rotten boyband called that, and heaven help me, but I don't want that association. Additionally, the kids TV show, Blues Clues. I've also ruled out any name that is a reference to a Belle and Sebastian song in anyway. And I won't call her Belle either. I just feel that would be verging on the overly twee to name her after a Belle and Seb song. Like naming a car isn't twee. I saw my car today, sitting in the parking lot. In some ways, I was a bit shy to go over. She just looked as if she was waiting patiently. I'm slightly glad I didn't, becuase I don't want her to think I don't love her and I'm having cold feet. At the same time, perhaps that was a bit rude of me. Maybe she saw me and felt I was ignoring her. I hope she will be ok. We'll have a chat when we formally meet. I was so excited, I even held the car keys. It was quite a moment, really. Just sitting in the dealers, with the keys in my hand. But in the end, I had to hand them back, and that hurt. She looks very pretty, and lots of people have complimented her appearance already. I know some of you will think this is very sad* But its my first car! a brand new baby! Shes going to take me to all sorts of places. Another note, her numberplate is slightly personalised, which is good. I misheard the lady on the phone the first time. I thought she said SO EASY. My car won't be easy! She'll be Secy. ANyway, time to go and fulfill the subject line. love idles *approximately 99% of the sinister population agreed with this statement, according to a BBC poll. ===== <a href="http://retrosec.blogspot.com/">http://retrosec.blogspot.com/</a> thoughts __________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sinister: You hurt my knee on Friday, and ruined my weekend
by Sam Walton 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

Hello Sinister. PICTURE THE SCENE <<A sweaty college bar somewhere in North Yorkshire on a Friday, beer spilt on tiled floor, the quiet acoustic bit from Ash's "Girl From Mars" blaring from the PA. "I still love you the girl from..." At this point, Asm abandons his position behind the decks, lauches himself in the air, from the DJ booth, on a trajectory directly colliding with James Thorniley, his head flung back, imaginary Gibson Flying V around his neck, back arched. "Mars!", screams Wheeler, as the distonion kicks in. Asm lands on the slippery floor on his dickey knee. He'll be okay though, the adrenalin will be enough to see him through. Then Thorniley, who had skillfullly avoided the incoming deejay, plumets into Asm's shoulder and aforementioned knee, and moshing is abruptly halted to avoid further injury.>> It's quite a scene. James Thorniley nearly killed me on Friday with his over-zealous dancing, but his public apolgies are acceptable, of course. It's not bruised, James, just quite stiff. Go on Archel, or Big Stu, make some smut out of that. IT'S BETTER TO REGRET SOMETHING YOU HAVE DONE THAN TO REGRET SOMETHING YOU HAVEN'T DONE As seems to be the way of it these days, I've been neglecting you. The pattern goes lurk-lurk-lurk-lurk-feel guilt-post, on loop. You can thank (?) the boy Thorniley for prompting me this time. If it wasn't for his clumsy actions at the weekend I'd still be silent. Probably. I must say though that I've been reading a lot more than usual; I'm digging this retro-sinister revival thing, with SUBJECT HEADINGS, and people mispelling "great". Mummy I've Grazed My Knee's post was sheer nostalgia, and all the better for it in a kinda Brit-pop Club Night way. Richard. John. Gillander's post was inexplicable genius, and Ken's top 5 whinges were brilliant, although I'd be tempted to make it a non-round Top 7, in order to include http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200303/msg00020.html, and of course http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200304/msg00008.html.
