Sinister: complex coniugated.

My Dear Sinister and Sinistrine {Belle and Sebastian, Real part}] Reasons why I havent being listening to the radio session and dont think I will by the single even if Id love to see them at TOTP, possibly in the union pub, since I dont have a telly at home: simply because Im not so enthusiastic with the new album. I think that the only song that I really really like is Lord Anthony. But all the other ones, even if they sound alright, dont get me wrong, and even if I would say are probably pretty good if they where by any other band, still dont make ME feel like B&S used to. Which doesnt mean there are lots of people out there and here in the list that are fully enthusiastic with DCW, as you could argue from the posts when the album came out. I just find, there was a subtitle way in the way B&S were talking about, love, and everyday life in which I could mirror someway. They were not written for me but were written as they meant to talk to me. And I could understand or find that special something which made me love them nearly to bits. And for a lot of reason, B&S had played such a big part in my life, that I would ever love them, even if they will become a Motorhead cover band, that wouldnt matter. I will have always have the chance to go home and put If your are feeling sinister in the CD player, and I will hear someone talking to me, a way I didnt expect, renewed every time. {Belle and Sebastian, Imaginary part} Sometimes the things seem to happen in a sort of circular way. I sometimes think that is the reason behind the mesmerising spinning of a vinyl disk over a turntable. The needle will be back precisely at the same position, exactly at the same time. With a stop-clock in your hands you might know truthfully at which time that single note, that single chord is going to fill the room. And when it is going to fade away. But. Life walks on straight line, and theres no much chances to take the ribbon back to any point. Often there are not many chances to chop of or erase the bits and takes you would love to forget. They do come back, emerging from where they have always been. Stored in a hidden place. Like a cupboard in the cellar. And every step, place, word, song, meal youve shared is pictured in a frame. And will make you think that in a day in February, or any other month of the year, youve touched and hold in your hands a single grain of happiness, which was worth by itself living a life. Till that precise instant. And whats left then? Looking back at things, Ive never though the earth was a dead cold place. Ive always though the living everyday life is a hard hard job, for everyone, not myself. Because there are no written rules. Because everyones got his own little and immense pains and joys. Because of how unpredictable it all is. And that is the beauty of it all, outside the window. And down the road. Or, at least, it used to be. But as in any game, and it is not the rule of game to be blamed, because there are none, there are good players, mediocre players and bad players, and it is not even the other players fault too. Is not the kind of game you could be teach and though how to play. You sort have to learn by yourself, if you can. And there are some hidden skills that doesnt matter how harsh you are rehearsing, and how long is your training. Nothing which is really worth can be really taught. Indeed. And you could write a requiem for me, when Im dead, if Ill make it into collage. One day. Might be one day you realise the way your playing the game you are not going to get anywhere and listen what the people says. Might be on that day you try to play in a different position, or might be decide to put on mask and pretend to be the one you really are not. Is it all about getting to a compromise with your conscience? Is it all you need? Is it? And how far are you ready to get with the compromise? You might be able to put up a brave face, walk down the way to tube and the office. Have lunch and a drink. Take a seat in the cinema, and buy a record in the shop. Smiling, and starring at peoples eyes, to see if you can spot any trace of bright flashing light in there. Wondering if the people around you are trying to spot a light thats got so dim, any kind of light down your eyes and the costume you are wearing. Behind the life youve chosen to play as a character in theatrical drama. Through half-already-built sentences, half-said things and half-silences. A life you are in, as a surrogate. But not living. As you wished to. And still doing your best. But then, one day, a feeble and impalpable breeze will blow away the masquerade and make-up youve been wearing. And it will be time to face what you had already known. That the only thing you eve cared for in you life is dissolved in the air, one day, like the mist on the channel. And that day the snow was falling.

Sinister: grumbleweeds
by Ben Apps 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

Dear Dairy, 1) I listened to the recent Belle and Sebastian sessions on Radio 2 and XFM over the past couple of days, but I won't comment on them as I only heard the crappy streaming online version of the sessions that the radio stations don't seriously expect to be listenable. They are just there to remind you that you should have been listening in the first place! 2) I wish they were broadcast over the good old traditional airwaves like god intended, but apparently that's not possible in the part of the world where I live. Cheapskate UK radio Bastards! Ben P.S.

Sinister: Cockney Dalek
by robin stout 18 Feb '04

18 Feb '04

You know, I listened to the live version of Stay Loose again, and it really is extraordinary. Stuart begins by trying to sing like on the record, but sounds more like a malfunctioning cockney dalek, so slowly over the course of the song he just seems to give up and starts singing normally. Honestly, though, the beginning was quite terrifying. I was about to bar the windows and look up Dr Who in the Yellow Pages before I realised what was going on. +++ In the work canteen just now, I strangely had the feeling that I was back at school, except all the kids were dressed up in very authentic adult costumes. Which is true in a way, I suppose. You never really stop to think about it, though, unless you're queueing for a Chicken Tikka sandwich. Gosh it was tasty! mmmmmmmmm! +++ I share an office with a very strange man. I might have told you about him before. He's an odd-un alright. For the last 10 minutes he's been sitting at his desk sort of staring and NOT MOVING. Not even to breathe or scratch his willy. I am worried he might have broken, or worse, DIED!! Heavens!! If I had a big stick I would poke him*, but we're not allowed big sticks. Damn the modern office environment and your fascist Health and Safety regulations!!

Sinister: Various Findings
by angela smith 17 Feb '04

17 Feb '04

I was watching a recap of New York's Fashion Week last nite. The designer was Cynthia Steffe, who makes some rather nice dresses. I thought the music sounded familiar, and it was Me & the Major by our B & S. Very fitting runway music. Also, I don't know if anyone commented on this when it first ran, but they played If She Wants Me on a rerun of the OC. *I heard* I must run off .... ta ta Angela _________________________________________________________________ Watch high-quality video with fast playback at MSN Video.

Sinister: I don't hate Valentine's anymore (Thank you Adam Greeen)
by a.s.t.r.i.d＠nme.com 17 Feb '04

17 Feb '04

Sinister, How are you? I am tired as hell and not turning in a v. important essay today because I simply am lazy as hell and now it's too late to get it in on time, hence today's more, well, sinister, tone. However, I shalt not mope for long, because I had a lovely weekend. Usually, I hate Valentine's Day because it means facing up to the fact that no one wants to buy me stupid heart-shaped things or give me a card. First of all, I got lots of heart-shaped sweets from my mum, which made me happy (and a feeling of illness because I ate too many, as usual). On Friday, me and Amanda were discussing what we should do on Valentine's so that we wouldn't be depressed. At first, we were thinking about going to this shopping thingy at this posh mall, it was some sort of interactive exhibition of trading clothes, but then we realized that Adam Green out of the ever so wonderful Moldy Peaches was in town, so we went to the good ol' club Debaser, where we have as of today gotten in once (Spearmint) and hung around for two soundchecks (Interpol and Jesse Malin) so it felt like we were back on old grounds. Unfortunately, the guy who was in charge that day was a total tosser and was SO rude and his whole attitude was a bit like "I'm in charge and I wear a stupid beanie and I work out and I probably use self-tanning lotion as well and I will DENY you access because I'm a tosser and there's nothing you can do about it now, nothing you can do about it later and there never will be.... mohaha!". Then we went round to the tourbus, which always makes you feel stupid because you know that maybe someone is in there watching you while you are standing there jumping up and down because you are cold. But when we did, who shall emerge from it than Adam Green, and of course we were so dumbfound we only almost-talked; you know when you stand there, mouth slightly ajar, almost talking so you look really weird. Then we started giggling. Adam looked at us, mouth open. We thought he decided to hate us from that moment or something, later, we found that he does a lot of staring out in space with his mouth open. So we waited. And he came back. And I tried to get his attention when he looked at me from maybe five metres away, and I raised my hand. Then I had his attention, so I waved. And he waved back nervously. Then,I realized I was looking like a complete idiot so I waved him over, and then we could do what we came there to do: say, "Hey! You're great, and here is our demo and by the way we made you this Valentine's day card", and he looked at us with big eyes and mouth ajar again (we still didn't get that it was his expression of "I'm listening") but then he said that we should wait, he went into the club and when he came back, he said "Well, how about you come on the tourbus and I'll play you guys a couple of songs, ok?". And so, he did. it was SO brilliant! He played on my request his cover of The Libertine's what a waster. I was wearing my homemade Libertines t-shirt and he started laughing when he saw the t-shirt during the song. He was such a lovely guy. Then he played us a new song he had penned about one month ago which was terrific, and then he played the sweet song Bluebirds, and after that, on my request, Mozzarella Swastikas (Not sure about that name). At the time I only knew that i'd heard it on the radio and that it was splendid, so when I heard the lyrics where he sang about getting head under a rainbow over and over and over again for ages, it was hard not to start giggle. He was sweet as hell, though, and he really liked our name Kat. At first, he gave us The Look (open mouth, v. big eyes) and I said "Er, it's not the best band name in.." and then he cut me off by saying "It's cute. Kat." so I guess we have his blessing. Then, we took a polaroid photo of the three of us sitting in one of the wee sofas in that tiny space on the bus, taken by sweetheart bandmate Nate. We did this really stupid pose that Adam wanted the three of us to do. the photo got a bit messed up because it got bent a bit before it was properly developed (or that's my guess at least), but it's a cute photo none the less. Oh what a nice day it was! Then we said adieu and he blew us a kiss before he disappeared into the club. AH. Also, Jeffrey Lewis, who is on my mixtape from Gràinne, was in his band but we only found out afterwards. And the weird thing was, i was thinking about asking him if he knew him, because they are quite similar. But anyways. It made us feel great, and we thought, hell, if we can spend time with Adam Green, we can do anything. I know that if I'd read my posts on Sinister and not be me, I'd think "Is she a groupie/hang-around or WHAT?" but really, I'm not. It's just.... ah, how should I explain it. Meeting the people I admire makes me feel as if there really is hope for me. It gives me hopes for the future, somehow. I know it sound odd, and it's not as if I'm trying to take part of their fame, I just like the feeling of knowing that they're people just as everyone else. Because I'm "just as everyone else" and I make music and hopefully I might be able to go SOMEWHERE with it at least, be it local youth club or the USA or Great Britain or someplace else I want to study in. And on that optimistic note, I shalt leave thou, sinister. Less sinister post than I thought. Mood turned around. Also. Johan/Froggy amazes me. I was NOT as cool when I was 14. I'm not sure I'm as cool NOW. So keep posting. Oh, and Kat is recording in the middle of April, sorry about the delay, but something came up for Pelle, Amanda's dad (and the producer and owner of the studio). Since we record for free, we have to wait until there really is TIME. Which is now April. Thinking how lucky we are, though, makes it less hard to wait. Also, again, Miami-tips anyone? I'm going in April and me and Amanda are on the look-out for anything nice there. Well, apart from clubs and stuff, because we wouldn't be able to get in anyways. But cafés, good places to shop, nice, er, parks, or something, just things in general. Now, I'm off to interview some teachers for my Organisation & Leadership class about motivation. I really do not feel up to it, but I must persevere. Love Astrid x P.S. I have NO idea if I just used the word persevere correctly. I would use it as in enduring something, but what the hell. I'll take a chance. I'm feelin' wild and crazy. P.P.S. Did anyone else see Joel Shearer/Pedestrian when he performed as a support act for Damien Rice on his last European tour? He was amazing, and today I had gotten an e-mail from him, ah. How could I feel bad? Screw the essay, music is the best thing in the world. ______________________________________________________________ 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.

I'm flying to Dublin tomorrow (from DC) and was wondering if people might point me to points of interest for live music (i noticed BRMC is playing) and other art/literary/cultural things. I have some guides I plan to read on the plane, but would prefer word of mouth. Cheers!

Sinister: happy (late) valentine's
by Em Ash 16 Feb '04

16 Feb '04

Hello Sinister Just wanted to say that I hope everyone had a nice time on Valentine's, which I usually have in horror... except for this year. All I can say is, don't ever give up on what you believe in, especially true love. Because I thought it was all illusions and no fun except if you work very very very very hard at it... turns out I had stopped expecting anything from love, and now this year, Valentine's day coincided with a 6-month aniversary... wooo! I know it may not seem like much, but to me it IS a big deal and I just wanted to say that there IS always hope and I can't stop putting caps on IS because I like to put too much emphasis on the most useless things... So there we go. I'd like to start a chronicle on useless or very small things that people put too much emphasis on... Useless things to put emphasis on (whether good or bad) for today : - The missing blind on my window - Having someone make you Lipton soup when sick - Having a friend who can't tie shoelaces (made my day) Whoah, that felt great. Now. I can't seem to be able to post something, as I've mentioned before, substantial and meaningful... I guess that's just the way my mind works... funny, I live with the Lipton soup guy (whom I love a lot and who apparently (that's what he says) loves me a lot too which makes it nice) and he keeps making fun of me for being such a chaotic person and being constantly contradictional and impossible to follow and to make sense of... which makes me say to Froggy, or Johan, whichever you like best, I like you telling everyone about your philosophical theories... and about masks, I'd like to say that I don't have any, or have too many, I can't say... All I know is, people DO act differently according to whoever they are with, simply, and that's my very own theory, because each person shares different interests with different groups of people... Olivier (that's Lipton Soup Man), who simply couldn't live without a very big daily dose of music, just like me, and I are worlds apart in musical appreciations and taste. For example : he made me find some interest in Nine Inch Nails (get the point?) and I got him soooo into Sigur Ros... (still working on the B&S issue, though!) But it wouldn't be the same with some other people I know and I would definitely act differently because I share different interests with them, which may be seen as wearing a different mask. (that wasn't too clear, was it? anyway, makes sense to me) Oh and I did watch The Mask for the 400th time last night... The Cuban Pete scene has to get Jim Carrey on Hollywood Blvd... it HAS to. I haven't seen any comments on the DCW game on the B&S site... I've had a lot of fun with it... And I'm going back for one more game... whooppee! See you all, and sorry again for being so ununderstandable Emmash And Happy Easter if I ever forget my password again. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Messenger : discutez en direct avec vos amis ! http://messenger.fr.msn.ca/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
