Sinister: we always find something, eh Didi, to give us the impression that we exist?
by nikos r 17 Mar '04

17 Mar '04

"Belle et Sebastian a Paris" Belated reporting back from the Paris gig. Due to lack of organization skills I only managed to meet-up with only one fellow sinister before the gig. (Sorry Katrina but my mobile phone's battery was dead...) I've met with Olivier aka strawberry boy who got a few strange looks while waiting in the queue because of his resemblance with a certain mr stuart. Franz Ferdinard who were in support didn't show up because (i think) their singer had been ill. Instead there was a french guy singing... I wasn't exactly thrilled by his performance... B&S showed up with the usual line up. There is this girl now who is replacing Isobel on the cello. I don't remember if she was also in the London gigs in December... Can anyone help? They were really into a partying mood! They even did a small theatrical sketch during Dear Catastrophe Waitress, with the girl on the album cover participating!!! That was quite funny, her running on the stage with her "stressee, moi?" t-shirt, serving drinks to stuart and messing everything up... They also did 2 encores (first time this ever happens according to stuart) but they were a song each :( "Quiet is the new Loud" I bought this music magazine (x-ray feb/march issue) a while back. Accustomed to read magazines in the bathroom, an article under the 'what not to buy' section of the magazine caught my eye during a late night visit to the toilet. it said "you'll really need this Belle and Sebastian Hearing Aid (tm) when you go to see one of the scots funsters' shows and wonder just how so many people can make so little noise". Indeed, the toilet is the appropriate place for this mag. "get out of the office and into the spring time" Spring has finally reached london town! (well at least yesterday) hasta luego! nikos _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

Sinister: It's gonna take an airplane to get me off the ground
by rrrrobyn 16 Mar '04

16 Mar '04

s to the etc. et al., (I'd like to thank mr. k.chu for prompting me to drag this email from the draft folder and finish it with a quickness. he's an inspiring kinda guy, that ken.) I think i just survived the winter. No, it hasn't officially ended, but I did wear normal shoes this week and not (grumble) boots. and the sun was actually warming (however briefly). but blah blah blah, BUT in two weeks I will be in London and it will be Spring! (well, it'd better be.) How exciting is this?! (for me?!) I've got about 30 million things to do before I get on that plane, but that will just make my London time even better (I'm hypothesizing...). There should be much: dancing, embibing, museum/gallery-going, wandering together and alone, window shopping and crying over the glory of shoes (my god, i cried inside today when i popped into my favorite shoe store to check out the new spring shoes - white slip-on campers with embroidered fushia flowers! i blinked back the tears of joy and pain. how is $268+15%tax at all fair or sane? beauty should be free or at least offered at a discount to worthy people. ah, but beauty is costly. stupid beauty.) but yeah, so here i am wrapped up in a blanket b/c we mistakenly turned our heat down, waiting for winter to end, thinking about whether to watch american idol tonight or whether to *not waste my time* (oh, you know i'll watch. i love it. both the wasting time and the watching painful tv. and tv has not been my friend these past two weeks - no new episdoes of the O.C. nor of Gilmore Girls. i'm still on my boycott-CSIs-and-Law&Orders-because-they-are-bad-for-my-mental-health stint, meaning the tv has been neglected because those shows take up half the weekly prime-time schedule, i swear. so the tv is like "please watch 'judging amy' or 'forever eden', pleeese." and i'm like "no. you bastard." and then we stare blankly at each other. eventually i leave.) oh oh, and will there be a Brighton Picnic/Day? Archel posted about this but then nothing and I have been too slack-ass with the emailing to have asked earlier. i should get on #sinister, i should. At this point i'd like to say "Sinister Picnic - Worldcup Germany 2006!" If that's too futurismic, then I hope to be seeing all kinds of "Sinister Picnic - New York/Toronto/Reykjavik/Idaho/Melbourne/etc." in the next couple months b/c, y'know, it's the season (even the s. hemisphere - fall picnics are quite nice.) I had to get a new passport. I think I look even more drunk in this photo. plus, it's in colour. eesh. speaking of drunk, i haven't been for months (2 months, in fact). i have been being responsible. and poor. brutal combination. we'll see how long that lasts. the new Destroyer album is good and includes my subject line and a lot of Dan Bejar making me want him even more. though not in real life. i heart the indie-pop stars of my fantasies. and would probably want to stab them in the eye in real life. or something with knives anyway. (hahaha - for the more sensitive among you, i would never stab anyone with anything. but i'm not making any promises.) i haven't bought the latest b&s eps/singles for the same reasons i haven't been drinking. i feel so behind. i even felt old for the first time at a Metric show a couple weeks ago. It Begins... In my defense against time, I may totally revert and start asking guys out on dates via a folded piece of notebook paper that reads "Do you like me? __ yes __ no. Please check one." giggling girlishly, Robyn (i never ask guys on dates, but sometimes want to - maybe this is the answer to my tongue-tied ways...) "I dreamt of a factory where they manufactured what I needed." - The Mountain Goats, We shall all be healed. ===== I was reading the dictionary.

Sinister: It only happens once a lifetime...
by Em Ash 16 Mar '04

16 Mar '04

So many things happen just once in a lifetime... This e-mail has the sole purpose of letting my endless whining be heard all around the world... When, oh, when are Belle and Sebastian coming to Canada? It's been 2 years! And I was all young and innocent and inexperimented and dragged there by my idol, my dear old brother who's somewhere in Norway as we speak. I keep checking the website, on tour section, and going "Ooooo!! Ooooo!! Seattle!!! That's SO close to BC!!! And SO far away from Montreal... but still Canada, right?......... argh!" I need my dose of live B&S... To tell you how bad it's getting, I bought the DVD... I don't have a DVD player. Lots of ugly sounds of agony, Emmash. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Search, le moteur de recherche qui pense comme vous ! http://fr.ca.search.msn.com/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

hello everyone, I used to post a few years ago. Then I quit. Then I came back. And then I just became a lurker and a voyeur. I've been thinking... and nobody mentioned anything here... I hope it's not a forbidden subject. what a sinister (not in the "good" sense of the word ;-) ) coincidence with the B&S kids... When the 9/11 incident happened, they were touring in the States. And now, with the awful bombings in Spain, they just happened to be in Madrid. I would have freaked out. I don't think there was a concert in Madrid the following day... but did they go on with the concerts in Bilbao and Barcelona? Were any of you there? I keep checking their website for news on this subject, but I find nothing. x gabi +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: mochten sie ein half liter trinken?
by Dirty Vicar 14 Mar '04

14 Mar '04

do you like when people post who haven't mailed Sinister in ages? Well now it it is happening again, for I, the dirty vicar, am subjecting you to another e-mailed communication. I'm flying to GERMANY this week. This is very exciting. I'm going to Berlin, and seeing B&S is on the itinerary. But I'm not totally one of those sad people who flies to other countries to see the great band of our times... going to Berlin is something I've been planning to do for ages. I'm looking forward to seeing the Fernsehturm and to walking down Karl Marx Allee, among other things. I gather I'm staying near the place that does the world's greatest felafel, so I should be alright for food. Are there any Sinister subbers who live in Berlin? If you are such person and you fancy meeting for a pint send me a mail. Before I go to BERLIN I am going to two gigs here in Dublin. Tomorrow KRAFTWERK are gracing us with their presence. I remember liking them a lot at the Tribal Gathering all nighter I went to, so I am looking forward to seeing them again. The next day it's the launch party for the first single by THE CHALETS, who include a former Sinister subber among their number (and are therefore proven by Marxist science to be Good). The Chalets are on in the Sugar Club, so I will be able to sit down and guzzle brandy alexanders while they play. Nice. Maybe you will join me. big shouts to everyone who everyone who ever mentions me in their mails, although I think ~Stine should do lose her fetishisation of things Irish. Mark O must also be mentioned... I have had a mail for him in my drafts folder advancing VERY SLOWLY to completion ever since last July. Separately, belated thanks to the people who sent me Christmas Presents. I have sent a separate thank you mail to the lovely Ms Jenny Payne. But I have also to thank the person who sent me a lovely home made fox in the snow t-shirt. Because I am USELESS I have mislaid the piece of paper that told me who had sent this, which is why I am publicly thanking them on this list. Perhaps they could make themselves known to me? Beyond that, it really is bedtime for a tired little vicar like me.
