Sinister: my voice
by Ruth 16 May '04

16 May '04

yes it true. my patience has finally paid off and ive been given my voice on the mailing list. i nearly didnt find out as well as the email telling me had been sent to the bulk mail folder.... stupid yahoo. just though i'd introduce myself to you all, i dont think that was against any of the rules on the extensive list was it? if it is im very sorry *cowers*. well now... im Ruth and in less than a week now i will finally leave that purgatory named high school, specifically marple hell... sorry hall school near manchester. ill admit to being a little scared but mostly im relieved because even though things have been good for the last year or so the school holds some bad memories for me. i think theres something begining with "e" which im supposed to be doing after i leave as well but i cant quite think what... was it expeditions? or possibly it was examples. what ever it was im sure it wont be too much of a problem although people keep telling me that i should be doing something called "revision". im not entirely sure what they mean. anyway, teenage sarcasm aside i would like to welcome myself to the list just in case noone else does :) the champage is on me and i cant find a cloth to clean it up.... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: fess up!
by marisa stroud 13 May '04

13 May '04

Perhaps I do, in fact, have too much free time, but what did my wandering eye spy in the "I Saw You" section of last week's The List? "I SAW YOU on the Belle & Sebastian cover. Dear, dear, catastrophe waitress get in touch." I accuse you, Goody Sinister! One of you, anyway. Hands? Eh, it made me giggle. And, it would seem, post. Speaking of Belle & Sebastian, I'm very pleased they've announced this concert in the Botanics this June. Firstly, because it's a free B&S concert in the Botanics, and secondly because it helps me figure out when to get my flight home to Canada: ie After The Concert. Still not much more specific than that, tho.

Hey Sini's! This one will be short and sweet as AOL doesn't seem to want me to send this message. Sheffield Sini's: Picnic on Saturday 15th around lunchtime in perhaps the botanical gardens. Sound good? then e-mail me if you want to come; and I'm sorry for the short notice I thought I"d sent a e-mail about this before but it turned out I hadn't.

Sinister: London calling Astrid
by Astrid Wiezell 11 May '04

11 May '04

Dearest Sinister, There are certainly shite ways to start a day, although mine is only semi-shite. I had a nice cosy morning with The Boy but knowing we'd be apart for 9 days (which is a lot harder than it sounds, especially when you are all loved up) made it worse. And so, I ended up having five minutes before my bus left to get ready. Me being vain, loved up and known for my lack of prioritising made me be late for school, this important in-class case study but lo, for had i not also forgotten my keys, making it impossible to go and do the case study since notes are required? Oh indeed I had. Right now I am a bit angry, feeling gross because I didn't have time to shower (why not confess it) and because I MISSED OUT ON THE RADIO-AIRED B&S SHOW FROM GOTHENBURG. Sometimes I want to hit myself, hard hard hard with something very sharp. Argh. I'm such a moron. But it WAS worth it in cuddletime though, mm-mm-mm. Also, The Boy has lended me his cassette-porta-thingy, so Kat kan record a lo-fi demo while waiting for the studio to get free. I borrowed a microphone and a wire or cord or whatever the right term is, from the youth club where Kat rehearses. Ah yes, hahah. How much has it costed me? NONE. Sod off, evil system, I can do without you. All by adding the magic word: please. Also, had revelation that Crappy and crappiest might not be words, but instead I should say crap and crappest, someone said crappest on tv yesterday and I felt a bit stupid for maybe using the incorrect form. Josh Ritter also, is coming here soon. E-mailed his manager today, because he told me to do so three weeks before the gig, and it is three weeks before the gig. Hope I can get in! Speaking of Josh Ritter, Chris, where art thou? I miss our e-mails about Damien and stuff. BY THE WAY BRITISH SINIS: I am coming your way. I'll be in London (Sutton) 17 - 21 June, oh yeah baby! Oh wait, how cheesy. Haha. That sounds STUPID. Forget I said it, I just got a pre-shopping spree jitter in my stomach, damn it will be so nice. Just so you know. If there are any sinister arrangements or whatever that weekend, but probably not. I'm going to visit my sister, so I'd just be able to there shortly anyways, since I come there to hang with her. Maybe I should go buy breakfast. I am hungry, and warm and I can't really remember why I started writing this. A shout out to: Nathan Reader (I'm on my third letter now, but they all just become too un-updated before I send them, but I'm working on it so HOLD ON!), Chris as mentioned above, Ian Watson (I am impressed by thou), Ken Chu of course, Hugo JohaN, Vilkas (how did the ladyfest go?) et al. Shit, I love you sinister! Astrid x Ps. STILL: www.katsite.tk Sign - the - guestbook. And thanks Anders, JohaN, Marisa and the mysterious yet intriguing Anonymous American Guy. And Krister! Heja Sverige friskt humör! Good thing you don't know Swedish. I am such a TWIT. ... Oh right, I was supposed to stop writing. Off for breakfast, it is!

Sinister: B&S @ Warfield April 30th
by peter malcolm 07 May '04

07 May '04

It wasn't until we were actually in the car, said goodbye to the babysitter and backing out onto the road that I realized the tickets hadn't arrived. How is it possible that I could have anticipated this for so long, and gotten all excited about all day, but not noticed that the tix were in abeyance? So we had to get to the show in 2 hours, it's a Friday night, it's 45 miles up US101 to San Francisco, we've got half a tank of gas (it's dark, and what are we wearing?). What can a person do in these circumstances except keep driving? I had ordered those tickets in February on the first day they were available, and poxy Ticketmaster had 3 months to get them to me and failed. I think that says something don't you? Anyways our people (me) called their people and got promised a "lost ticket voucher". But it wasn't there. Rather than call back for a "lost lost-ticket-voucher voucher" we prevailed upon the kindly staff of the Warfield to call their magic connections and get us in! Which they did! The Warfield is a sumptuous old palace of a theater in one of San Francisco's tatty downtown districts, not far from many geographical features mentioned in "Piazza, NY Catcher" i.e the Tenderloin, statue of Willie Mays etc. I had never been there before. At the entrance I was patted down by a nice security lady but no WMD were found (as is so often the case). So the show is about to start but it's the support act, a pleasant quartet comprising a leader-guitarister, female Cello and Viola continuo, and additional guitarism by a creature in a red cape who was introduced as "the creamy-soft brick". I think. The band or assemblage may have had a name; if so, it was not vouchsafed to me. At such times one's mind grooves about the auditorium and busies itself with other things, viz., will they play my 3 favorite songs of the moment (Str. Bn. Jean, Dream #2, Marx'n'Engels), why does a big of skittles have to cost six bucks, and, I wonder if anyone here is older than me? Hmmm.. he is... that guy is... those two women are.. that geezer with the white hair... not many really. Is it my fault to have been born too late? What shall I do with this oldiness that has come into my posession? Is it a tragedy? Yes it is, no it isn't. And then all at once just like that the band is on and playing a surfie-style song. And it was good and unbelievable and there was the very Stuart Murdoch of whom we have spoken, and the lovely Sarah, and the lovely everyone else and Bobby who looks just like me from 20 years ago. At the rear of the stage on the left was an area where up to four anonymous string-players did their part, on the right the asymetrically positioned drumkit, in the center on a riser a vast cave of keyboards to be played by a huge cast of characters up to 3 at a time. In front we have the central Stuarting area, with stevie tucked in just behind and to stage-right. Further right we get to Mick's mic with asoorted brass plumbing positioned within handy reach. Further out is the bass playing zone with no mic stand. The entire front of the riser from about the middle out across the drum kit was a row of guitars or guitar-like objects arrayed for easy selection. On the left is the Sarah zone with a chair and bits and pieces. Behind her is another pianoid keyboard with a seat and a mic. The lighting had swirly patterns (one resembling "Creme Saver" hard candy") that twirled and panned around the stage, plus two big yellow square floodlights aimed at the audience for moments of extreme agitation. Here is what I can remember of the set althought the order is probably quite, quite wrong. (the aforementioned surfie number) dog on wheels beautiful step into my office bub dear cat wait if she wants me piazza asleep on a sunbeam i'm a cuckoo you don't send me wrapped up in books scooby driver I fought in a war the model wrong girl seeing other people wandering days are over stay loose the encore (i think) - get me away i'm dying sleep the clock around Also in the middle the band took a wee break and Stevie at center stage bwgan soliciting requests (of a musical nature). Stuart was still bouncing around beside him and engaged in banter with nearby audience segments. It emerged that it was the birthday of some guy (or his disembodied voice anyway, I couldn't see) and his name was Nico. Nico! says stevie, and embarks upon "I'll be your Mirror" to reflect vott you ahh, in case choo donnt knoh - originally sung by the late Nico on the velvets's banana album as you well know. Scooby Driver was lengthened, seemed like an extra verse. At the end of "Step into..." Stuart sang "...since after Carter" instead of "...Thatcher" but no-one really noticed the cunning substitution. Also another cute trick, in "You Don't Send Me" they sang "...there ain't nothin you can do to - (pause) - surprise me", the surprise being the little hiccupy syncopation at that point. Well I liked it. You may notice that none of my 3 wishes showed up in the set :(. I didn't expect to get Marx&Engels but I thought Dirty Dream #2 was at least possible. Oh well. In the live setting the monster arrangements of the DCW songs go over very well especially the big set piece Stay Loose. What a wonderful time we had. And the queues at the parking building by the Sony Metreon were quite short really. I wonder if there was a a party afterwards?

Pssst. Hey! You! Yeah... you... the kid in the back.... Are you going to the Denver show? I'm not, but I have two tickets. And the seats aren't too shabby. It's too late to get the tickets in the mail, but I can tell you where the seats are, in case you want to fill them. Let me know. I'll whisper the secret info into your ear. Thanks to Tamra for Reporting Back on Coachella. We could use a little more of it, doncha think? Later.

Sinister: PATRICK MOOR;ES TELESCOPE
by robin stout 05 May '04

05 May '04

Dear Sinister: Sorry for being out of touch for so long. Among other things, apart from being a lazy bum, someone broke my hand when I was trying to touch their knees, and my hand went all inflated like a marigold glove, and about as much use. It didn't help when, feeling a bit better, I used my rubber hand to open a door and it sort of slid off said door and got squashed in it, making the situation somewhat worse. Ah well, mustn't grumble. ATP was rather good. I met IAN THE DIRTY VICAR and RENER and NAL and DANKE, too, who looks like that bloke off top BBC "sitcom" My Family. Belle and Sebastian are playing Glasto! How about that? I'm going to Glasto too, blinkin eck, ARE YOU? I know some of you are.. Is the siniglasto mailing list still around? I think it's time for a revival. Good to hear they're releasing their Cliff cover as the next single, too. Along with two new traxx - Your Cover's Blown and Your Secrets. The second of these they played on the radio and it's rather splendid. The first sounds quite good from Stuart's description of it here, too: http://www.belleandsebastian.co.uk/home/ , and if you're not that bothered about buying the single you should still click on that link if only for the picture of the lovely girly. I was walking down the street the other day, on the way to the bus stop, and I saw Mick Cooke. Well, it looked like him, anyway. He was walking past a massive poster hung over a shop, which says, in six foot high letters: "WALE'S BIGGEST COMPUTER SUPERSTORE". Well, indeed. It's almost as bad as that advert for PATRICK MOOR;ES TELESCOPE i saw once. They'll have to make sure they keep things like that out of shot when they start filming Doctor Who here. I read somewhere that one of the episodes is going to be about the Daleks attacking London. I hope they film that one in Cardiff too, but from funny angles to pretend it was London towne. They'll have a tough job: I think we've only got one building over three storeys high. I'm going to try to get a job as an extra, too. OH HEAVENS ABOVE! THE DALEKS ARE COMING TO TAKE OVER WALES, um, i mean, THE WORLD!!! I reckon they can't refuse me with acting like that. bye then Robin _________________________________________________________________ Find a cheaper internet access deal - choose one to suit you. http://www.msn.co.uk/internetaccess +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: coachella bliss
by Tamra Ann Thomas 04 May '04

04 May '04

coachella was beautiful. it was hovering around 110 degrees (about 40 degrees in non us measures) during the show, yet people were still dancing and singing along. i was lucky enough to stand next to some fans got just as silly as i did, making me feel less...well, silly. many people waited in the long line to tell stuart and the kids hi earlier in the day when the sun was even hotter, i thought i was going to get heat stroke at that point, so i asked someone to request a song for me and hid in one of the tents waiting for the thrills to start. everything was great, even the heat, it seemed to draw people together, i still can't believe that i did it. i don't have a set list, but i am sure that someone else does, i just know that it was good. see some of you tomorrow nite at the seattle show... tammy. there is no silver lining on a mushroom cloud-ny times _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
