Sinister: with your newfound love of neu and pad thai
by rrrrobyn 22 Nov '04

22 Nov '04

periodically, elements: since last we spoke, sinister, i have not managed to unlearn how to read. in fact, i have learned whole bunches of new words, some of which may or may not be made up. of letters or non-letters. i also found a pink raincoat, 60s style. that totally goes with my pink mini-skirt suit, 60s style. totally. goes. reporting back (now with informative sub-headings): between 'responsibilities', 'unresponsibilities', and growing my hair, i've been to see shows, entertainments, flashing lights and on-stage sweating. - the dirtbombs: wow! whoa! yes! two drumkits (and two drummers)! spasmodical robotic dancing girl guitarist! mick collins! leg kicking to punctuate guitar riffing! it hurt me, how real and good it was. - julie doiron/damien jurado/rosie thomas: this was lovely. i love julie. she makes you love things. everything seems warmer when she sings. the world is a nicer place. i'm cheesy, but it fits. and it was a cold night. everyone seemed to be wearing nice scarves. - le tigre/lesbians on ectasy/les georges leningrad: let me begin with this: check out my awesome green les georges leningrad t-shirt! it fits like a glove, is soft like fake-fur kittens, and on it is a white drawing of a bat carrying a severed head! *and* it's a non-musical material representation of one of the most bizarre and entertaining (in a watching-your-8th-grade-math-teacher-get-attacked-by-bees kind of way) bands around. so, y'know, t-shirt! lesbians on ectasy is a montreal band as well, with a definite e-energy vibe goin' awn - dance-y, electro-y, fun-y. and le tigre, well, i mean, LE TIGRE. matching outfits, motown style (y'know, same fabric, but kathleen's got a strapless minidress, johanna's got a dress with sleeves and an a-line, and jd's got a button-up shirt and pants. rad.) old songs, a few new songs (which were goood), synchronized dance moves, and a fancy way of following a set list (computers! graphic interfaces! etc.) i was happy. (for 5 minutes early on i was unhappy b/c a crew of goonish indie men began to 'mosh' near the front, causing some annoyance. especially when some pulled out, i kid you not, digicams. i'm just, like, er, do you not listen to lyrics? please put away your collector/capturer personas for an hour and be decent. i'm an asshole. no. i'm decidely not. i just hold le tigre near and dear.) so: always good to see le tigre, feel like you can do anything you set your mind to (it's true-oooo!), and dance like a maniac to 'deceptacon'. when buses strike back: holy crap, there's a bus/metro strike on in montreal. how am i supposed to achieve a nice, protective layer of fat for the winter months when i have to do all this walking and cycling everywhere? criminal. i guess i need to drink more beer. while walking and cycling. just all the time really. oh, and eat chocolate. see, i know my fat-making abilities and those two things will do it for sure. remember back when thespark.com had a 'gain x number of pounds in x number of days' contest? i would have kicked ass in that by eating beer and candy alone. and not walking or cycling anywhere. when i see hot pink graffiti, i say that's the graffiti for me: before the bus strike, i saw some pink graffiti in a metro stn on a billboard. it was in that graffiti language i'm not cool enough to understand, but i think it was along the lines of 'rraaarr, we write graffiti! now go and write an essay about it somewhere you silly little academic wad!' haha, aw, pink graffiti. visit montreal, i will try not to be too weird: helen of australia rocks right back. i saw her in the summertime and we walked around montreal and looked at things and i babbled about stuff and i'm sure was awkwardly quiet at times too, yet she still thinks i'm O.K. And she's a world traveller and therefore *knows*. one day i will go to australia and be a world traveller too. but mostly i will go to the beach and drink beer and eat candy. you were always on my mind, you were always on my mind: i bought a new walkman for $15.97 plus gst and pst b/c my old walkman broke a while ago and i am too cheap (ppoorr) to go for a discman and too damn *smart* to go for an mp3 player just quite yet. ipod ipod ipod. want. not going to get. unless it's $15.97. which, nope, it isn't. anyway, so i'm back listening to my tapes again, enjoying mixes made pre-2000, featuring the pet shop boys, the pixies, b&s, mag fields, you know the drill... the only downside to the walkman is that it's ultra sensitive (read 'cheap', not 'lubricated thin latex') to radio waves and things, so that every time i walk by a big construction site or a taxi it buzzes and sometimes even clicks. it's like the city is remixing my tunes yo. and damaging my cochlea. ow, my cochlea! hahahaha. love and bits, robyn p.s. despite having a pink raincoat, 60s style, i still want loralai's pink coat, the one she was wearing last gilmore girls episode with the awesome black and pink dress which i also want. p.p.s. thinking about tv has just reminded me that rupert got kicked off survivor last night. it was sad. both b/c it was a sad event and b/c i yelled at the tv and then at the heavens and then at myself. but really: why? rupert was the best thing to happen to reality tv since do-it-yourself liposuction on the home and garden network. yeah, so that never happened except on the TV Screen in My Head (8 p.m. Wednesdays, CTV), but man, Rupert gone? i'm writing him a letter. (yes, just like the windchill factor, reality is but a feeling too. a FEELING.) ===== I was reading the dictionary. I thought it was a poem about everything. ~Steven Wright ~~~ Robyn Fadden rfadden(a)yahoo.com Montreal, QC __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: please speak into the microphone
by laurel lemming 12 Aug '04

12 Aug '04

dear Sinister, all of you are always talking about lots of other bands that people who listen to B+S also listen to. the only band I listen to in that sort of 'category' is Belle and Sebastian. oh, I listen to lots of other stuff, mostly in completely different genres; a lot of bluegrass, a lot of emo-ish rock, some 80s pop, and stuff my parents like to listen to. and someone once gave me a mix CD of stuff that was supposed to be "B&S-like," by which I guess they meant t*ee-pop, not that B+S are, but whatever. *stumbles away hoping not to provoke another discussion of "t*ee."* and nothing there really struck my fancy. so I guess my question is, are camera obscura and the hidden cameras the same band? I mean...I don't know. I'm so confused. and is it wicked not to care about all these other bands? not cool enough for you, lem __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Hi all!

Sinister: A summertime wasting
by Kenneth P Y Chu 31 Mar '04

31 Mar '04

What are you doing today sinisters? The clocks have been put forward an hour here a couple of days ago, but they went backward an hour in some other places, isn't that strange? I do love summertime though. I was so happy about it the other day I spent an hour going oohh oooh oh oh oh oh oh oh u can't touch this ooohh ooh ooh oh oh oh Stop! Summertimeeee! Haha, so I did. But I do, love this summertime thing. It's hard to adjust to having to get up extra early, but the day now just never ends! And now I want to wake up like extra early so make the most of the day - I haven't managed it just yet but soon! The clocks should never go backwards so that one day I'll just wake up to go to work when it's like midnight (except it won't be called midnight then it'd be like 9am) Of course there's also the sundays tune youuu and meeee in the summertime We'll be hand in hand down in the park With a squeeeeeeze and a sigh and that twinkle in your eyes All the sunshine banishes the darkkkk Aw yeah, sundays and summertime are the best times. And fall, too. I used to like the word "Autumn" a lot but I've really "fallen" for "Fall" so to speak. It just such a nice word, when it's not describing someone tripping over and hurting. Hurting sucks. Going to the park rocks though. So yeah, I can see the sun now and it's so great. Stuart Murdoch doesn't seem to like it so much though, there was a recording of his band singing a cover of "Here comes the sun" and in the wee bridge/chorus/whatever bit you can suddenly find him singing "sun sun sun, you hairy c*nt"!!!!!! Oh my god!! It may just have been his accent of course, but I'm not so sure. I've also mentioned this before but the sun reminded me of it. Not "The Sun" the newspaper, they only ever show boobs. Are YOU going to be coming to Brighton this weekend? You should! It's summertime. Ken (12:24 BST) P.S.: oooh oh oh oh, oh oh, oh P.P.S.: stop! P.P.P.S.: summertime! _________________________________________________________________ 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: riding on city buses for a hobby is CHEAP
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 30 Mar '04

30 Mar '04

This is a public service announcement for anyone coming to Brighton on Saturday. The absolute cheapest way to get from or via London to Brighton is on megabus.com. It's £1 each way! You have to book in advance but you don't need a ticket, just give the booking ref to the driver. At the time of writing there seems to be only one suitable journey available - 12 noon departure from London and 2.20pm arrival in Brighton. But I am web-illiterate at this time of the afternoon so don't take my word for it. Check it out people! www.megabus.com Obviously if you can't endure a two hour coach journey because you're just too impatient to see me, the train is good too. See you saturday!

Sinister: York picnic?

Sinister: Pic-er-nicking
by Sam Walton 30 Mar '04

30 Mar '04

Hello Sinister. <<de-lurk>> Well I was thinking about pic-er-nics, and about York, and then Tripney beat me to it - it was a fine idea, young fellow/fellowess (who are you, btw? Reveal yourself!). SO! I propose a Sinister Northern Picnic, York being the ideal spot to hold such an event. And, even though I've been a lurker even within the York Sinister Massiv of late (for which I sincerely apologise), I'll be your mummy, if you like that kinda thing. Here's the plan. Feel free to tell me to change date/time etc - I'm a suggestible character. WHERE: outside the front of the Minster, York (then moving onto Museum Gardens). I reckon this is good because it's easy for non-Uni people to get to (hint: non/ex-York people very much welcome), and is in the close proximity of Nice Pubs in case it rains. WHEN: 2pm, Saturday 24th April (or Saturday wk 1 for the Uni contingent) ME: tall, lanky, glasses, a feast of delights inside my bag. Mobile 07793711306 YOU: laden with boooooze and other picnic accessories, wearing upside-down badge for ID purposes. Sound like a sound plan? Let me know. I can't really think of much to report on really. I guess we all run out of things to say eventually. I went to see Lambchop on Saturday night. They were rather gorgeous. Support was in the form of Camera Obscura, who were pretty good. Not as good as the 'chop though, for sure. I take it that a small section of this listen would have heard the last ever Mark & Lard on Friday? Belle & Sebastian were on it, singing a pastiche of Seymour Stein. I went Mark and Lard Oh how we'll miss you On Radio 1 You say you've got a promotion Our thoughts are far away We remembered the day You first played our tune And now we are minted Mark and Lard (repeat to fade) It warmed my heart, because M&L was the first place I heard B&S. The final show was generally a sad event though - I might have cried if I wasn't a) apparently incapable of doing so (nothing seems to make me cry, even when I want to, rather annoyingly) b) laughing incontrollably for the most part. Inspired by Vilkas' post, I listened to Beck's Midnite Vultures yesterday, and I was forced to conclude that it is one of my favourite records of all time. And that thought inspired me to make a list of all the records I own that would warrant five stars in the fictitious Asm Magazine. Unsurprisingly, I came up with about 80 of the little blighters. After much pointless pontificating, I managed to narrow it down to about 20, but realised what an inconsequential task I'd set myself so I gave up. Still, 20 is fair enough though, doncha think? Anyway, let me know about the picnic. love Asm.x <<re-lurk>> ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield _________________________________________________________________ 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 Longest Reporting Back Ever
by Krister Bladh 27 Mar '04

27 Mar '04

Hi my fellow Sinistereens! This post has become horribly late because Ive had to change mail-addresses (though not from nme!) and stuff and everything has been a real mess and just now I noticed that I wasnt in nursery and maybe I hadnt been put back there at all. So I thought: what better time for a comeback that for a good old reporting back?! Yes, I have finally seen BELLE & SEBASTIAN live. It was indescribably fucking good! (I never use that word but today will have to be an exception). I really cant believe it. And I even got a f.. a Setlist. Actually Id written down all the songs, just case I didnt get my hands on a setlist, which is a kind of an awkward thing to do while dancing around in uttermost joy. Alright its time to get the Story going (if youre really lazy, like me, you should probably just scroll down and read the titles cause that is setlist) I went to Copenhagen a while after school (if you remember, which you probably dont, I live in Sweden, which is not the same country as Denmark) and it was freezing cold, because I was only wearing my corduroy jacket and a shirt. (Of course I was also wearing my upside-down badge in case there were any sinisters. there probably wasn't, but I think some Icelandic guy was planning to go there. Anyway, no one noticed my badge, until after the show - and they hadn't heard of Sinister.) Waiting outside the door to venue I was amazed how few people there were and they were mostly Swedish. I mean it wasnt sold out when I checked in the morning and even though its Denmark (no offence, if there happens to be any Danish people reading this) seriously!! Its BELLE & SEBASTIAN. In Stockholm and Gothenburg the tickets sold out last year! Here, it didnt fill up until after the opening act and Im not even sure about that. The opening act or foreband if you translate from Swedish wa s Aerospace, a Swedish band I can recommend strongly, if you bother to care. I new they were really good even though Ive never heard them. They did a fine job, though you could hear the vocals. Passion Fruit --------------- Then Stevie, Mick, Bob, Richard and Beans came in and they started playing Passion Fruit, which I had only heard as the end of Stop, Look and Listen. It was great. I didnt have a very accurate picture of what Stevie Richard looked like so it was a bit confusing at first. I even thought that Mr. Murdoch had darker hair. Expectations --------------- Then Stuart and Sarah entered and everybody started to shout and scream. At least I did. They all had kind of ordinary clothes, except Stuart who was wearing brown flares to go with the 70s interior of the venue he said. He picked his acoustic Taylor and started playing F#, Bm, F#, Bm. You know what that means dont you? Yes, Expectations! Too bad it was the only Tigermilk song, but according to their secretive encore sign language they were thinking about playing I Could Be Dreaming. They had a woman playing cello, I think youve mentioned her before. Step Into My Office Baby ------------------------------ Time for a new song, the people in the back had to hear something familiar too. But they thought it was over when it came to the second string part. This when string section started getting busy too. Mick played some horn too. And Stuart was able do his little dance for the first time. Seeing Other People ------------------------ Stuart moved over too the piano and I thought: can it be an old song, can it be an old song?! I was right! I was under the impression that they didnt play many songs from Sinister. But now they had rehearsed and he didnt even forget the vocals once. Absolutely the best song so far. DCW ----- I dont remember much from this song, except that I really noticed the strings for the first time. It is kind of short too. Belle & Sebastian --------------------- Yes, you read correctly I didnt mix up the title with the band. Stuart said there are always some hardcore indie kids who wants to hear old obscure songs at shows. Songs I hardly know Ive written. My heart stopped. Were they going to play Rhoda or Pocket Book Angel or something like that. And then they started playing I was one of the few who recognised the song. It was really fantastic! I dont think theyve played that song much, but I was hoping they were going to play something from the EP:s and that is probably the song the song I was most pleased to hear in the whole set. The Wrong Girl ----------------- It says Travellin Light in the setlist but thats Stevie-song too.. anyway Stuart said This is a song written by Stevie Jackson on which I play bass. That should be enough for you to know which it is. He played an opaque bass guitar that he was sad to say he could play more on. It was really good to hear Stevie sing a whole song, cause hes a great singer. The Boy Done Wrong Again ---------------------------------- Whats this I thought, another Sinister song, and a rare one at that! Unbelievable! It was so wonderful with the violin and cello and all. It nearly made me cry. You Dont Send Me ------------------- Probably the song on DCW I like the least, its still great I mean, but a little less. (Family Tree) ---------------- Yes, I know they dont play that song now that Bels gone but it was the time of the show where we usually take a break, which means time for a person (usually a girl) in the audience to sing a song. A girl from Malmö got to sing Family Tree. Another girl wanted to sing Stuarts favourite Smiths song, but he said the band wouldnt play that. She did quite alright although she forgot the lyrics for the second verse it was the only song that wasnt in the song-book. She got a real medal that said I made it with Belle & Sebastian. Now that I think about it wish I would have sung My Wandering Days Are Over, but maybe they would be offended because I sing to much like Stuart. I couldnt even decide what I would like to sing then. Piazza, New York Catcher -------------------------------- It was great it in all its simplicity, with just Stuart singing and Mick on acoustic. Theres Too Much Love ----------------------------- Yes! The first FISHYCLAP song. And one of the best! I just love the strings at the end! Love On the March ----------------------- It was interesting to see who played what on this song. Stevie was singing, Mick played guitar and Stuart played a little keyboard. Fox In the Snow ------------------ According to the setlist they chose between this and Slow Graffiti. Im glad they took Fox, cause its still on of their best songs. Stevies solo on his Martin is one of the best ever. Yet another Sinister song. Im a Cuckoo ---------------- They chose between this and If You Find Yourself Caught In Love here. I like the latter better, but they finally got a chance to rock out and there was some serious jumping going on! Roy Walker -------------- Time for inviting many kids up on stage for some finger-flicking. I finally understood what the distortion pedal that I laughed at in the sound-check it was for Micks solo. Stevie did own solo, on the harmonica. They didnt really manage the intertwining vocals but it still rawked. Womans Realm ------------------- Another one of my favourite FISHYCLAP songs! Again with some glorious strings and guitar at the end. Stay Loose ------------- I thought this was going to the last song, but I was wrong. It was very good, but does he have to try to sing with that robotic voice live? Legal Man ------------ Oh no, its the last song and the first one I couldnt completely sing along with! I have to buy that 12. Encore -------- For the encore there were hundreds of suggestions. Someone said Le Pastie and I agreed but Stuart just said Nah, its been a long timeThey finally decided for Judy and played an extended version of it. It was to good to be true. I almost lost my voice. You may have noticed there where no TBWTAS songs, but they compensated me with playing the title-track as the real last song. And when Stuarts vocals trailed of there at the end I knew it was over I hope there will be some reports from Stockholm and Gothenburg. My condolences to Astrid and Johan who werent able to get in. I mean, how stupid is that? 18-year limit at a B&S concert! Old beer-drinkers shouldnt be allowed. Im sorry if Ive taken up much of your time, but I warned you!

Sinister: fire trucks
by Vilkas D'Angelo-Horvath 27 Mar '04

27 Mar '04

skirting disaster ____________ after waking up at 7:30 to call in to see if i've got work today...i don't so i go back to sleep. so, i'm asleep and am awakened by fire trucks around noon. fair enough, it's time to get up anyway. the sirens are normal, i live three blocks away from the fire station, i pay no mind. so i'm chilling in my apartment, trying to be productive, and what i don't know is apparently 18 buildings are on fire 5 blocks away. i hate to reference fox news, but they've got pictures: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,115341,00.html ohhh shiiiit. i even went out when the flames were in effect. large chunks of shit on fire apparently coasted 5 blocks the other way onto I-95. mmm, skirting disaster, yummmmmy. speaking of skirting disaster, the first (and last) time i visited the world trade center, was the week before shit went down. i also flew the week before on the same flight that got hijacked. same flight, previous week. fuck that. makes me want to not leave the house. or carry an anvil proof umbrella. i't not like i'm living in a war zone or anything. or under a fascist dictator's rule, well, bush is questionable. but i *hate* fire. when i was a young'un, we had wood heat in a 200 year old house, which had, funnily enough, 200 year old chimneys. there were chimney fires. i slept through them, and then woke up on the lawn with my house on fire. fuuuuuuuuuuck. the world is a mixtape: __________________ the other day, i'm sitting at my computer, applying for many, many jobs. I'm listening to midnite vultures and peaches and cream is the song that's on. it's like 50 degrees and sunny outside, so the windows open. there's the horn buildup in peaches and cream, the whooooooooooooooo crazy freakout part. i live 3 blocks away from the fire station, and just during this part a fire truck rolls by, sirens wailing; joining in with the horns, effectively remixing the song. awesome. luv, vilkas willie _________________________________________________________________ All the action.

Sinister: picnic version 3.0

Oh so much dither and hither and thither. The Official Brighton Spring Picnic 2004 is now back to the orginal date of 3rd April (NEXT SATURDAY) and no returns. Please enter indelibly in your diaries and start lining your stomachs now. I'm sure it will be a marvel of candy-coated alcoholism, virtuoso DDR, big waves, alfresco eating and dirty jokes as usual. Thank you for your attention. Mwah!
