Sinister: Montreal and My Morning Jacket
by Samiam Green Eggs And Ham 13 Jul '04

13 Jul '04

Ok, so our eastern european jaunt ran into major problems so now we're headed to Montreal. If anyone on this list lives there, can you send me an e-mail? I have questions on happenings in the city. Now, I need to work on my frenchy. Has anyone heard of My Morning Jacket. I just got their lastest CD, it's really quite good -- I guess they belong in the Alt-country catalog to give you an idea of the sound. It's a mix of Johnny Cash, Americana, Luna/Galaxie 500 and in some places they sound like what little I know about Pink Floyd and Yes (longer songs that sound very different in some parts). Anyway, just wanted to share because I told a friend of mine about them (who's a big fan of Wilco, Uncle Tup, Whiskeytown, Ryan Adams, etc) and he immediately declared them his fave band once he bought their album and he's usually not easily impressed.

Sinister: Have Mercy On The Girl Who Sings To Be Adored
by Astrid Wiezell 12 Jul '04

12 Jul '04

Hey sinister! How ARE you my little darlings? It's been far too long since, well, the last time. Since the last time I have: - Been in London to visit my big sister and when at How Does It Feel managed to not say hi to both Paul Healy (who I stared at (er, sorry, not in creep way I hope) a lot that night) AND Ken Chu. - Turned 18! WOHOO!! I have since got my beloved Dl4 Delay Modeler, a great stompbox pedal from Line 6 which totally fucking rawks and is great. Great people who has it: One of the guitarists in Explosions In The Sky, Joel Shearer from Pedestrian and Wilco. - A couple of days ago me and Amanda went to Accelerator: the big one, which had such great artists performing as Wilco, The Shins, Explosions In The Sky, Broken Social Scene, Jens Lekman, HAL etc. etc. etc. Oh and The Von Bondies. The main events at that day (3 p.m. to 3 a.m.) 1. Amanda gets in. Big thing since she is a two years too young. And I am not, finally. 2. Explosions in the sky perform and afterwards I ramble something to them about their concerts being not mere concerts but it was an epiphany and so fucking beautiful etc. etc. 3. Wilco almost makes me cry because they are so great and Jeff Tweedy is amazing but then... 4. ... the inevitable happens: a drunk, humongous bearded wilco-fan emerges through the crowd and i start telling him insulting htings but he keeps saying WHAT until I give up and to get my message across just gives him the finger (Readers, if you knew how wild I felt, I mean, seriously, I'm a B&S fan, how wild is my life?). But then his other friend pulled my ponytail and the first guy started like trying to dance with me but i was angry and told him to sod off. 5. I got a WEE bit too drunk by the time of the Von Bondies and thought to myself: "Hell, I have a man and he can't see me now, I have no one to impress, I want to DANCE, ah yes, I have to DANCE, I will let the rawk and rawl possess me!!" and I danced like Paula Abdul was possessing me. Or well, not Paula Abdul, but I was behaving like a crazy drugged-out person having a seizure. Note to self: Let's do that again soon. V. much fun. 6. By dancing without dignity sadly attracted gut from Detroit who after the Von bondies came to hit on me, but I mentioned my boy and he moved on to Amanda. 7. Half an hour later: Amanda and Detroit-guy are making out. I am freaking out. 8. I want to go home. 9. We go home. 10. We see bus leaving, have to wait another hour for a new one. 11. Meets v. funny guy in suit. We talk about gross food for an hour. Yeah that was it. Must've been dead exciting for you guys to read about. Also my solo project is working out nicely, I'm called Good Scout Promise and my demo which is starting to be finished now is called "Unless Otherwise Stated" I think. Oh man, I think this was my worst post yet. If you think otherwise, do not remind me of other posts which are worse. Let's just forget together. Love Astrid Ps. I think I am starting to enjoy being me quite properly, it's nicer than I thought. I don't suck as much as I feared, which you must admit is a nice thing to realise. Pps. Krister: I will get back to you soon! Running out of time on the library computer. If oyu come to stockholm we should meet! _________________________________________________________________ Chatt: Träffa nya nätkompisar på Habbo Hotel http://habbohotel.msn.se/habbo/sv/channelizer +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: (My girder's got) cyclic stress fatigue
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.org 07 Jul '04

07 Jul '04

Hey all, How have you been? I hope none of you have been beaten up lately. I - through the greatest fortunes - haven't been beaten up either recently, it was astonishing. Considering that my flatmate has been away for two days and I had been pumping up old-skool and nu-sk001 Belle & Sebastian to 11, and singing along at volume 12. Doing housework has never been so much fun - you try it yourself - chopping onions singing along to Stay Loose, slicing a chicken into equal halves whilst singing along aloud to "I'm a cuckoo", haberdashing to "Lazy Line Painter Jane", vacuuming the floor whilst muttering "I dreamt I 'ad 'a go'a marrrrs", ironing your clothes whilst singing "(My girl's got) miraculous technique". It was fucking ace. I bet my neighbours fucking hate it though. The last time I heard music through their walls was some kind of JAZZ music, accompanied by their shagging noises. That's exactly what I needed, some jazz fucking. HAHA, but now my revenge comes, yeah! INDIE POP HOUSEWIFING MUSIC, TAKE THAT YOU BIATCHES! Haha and I have also a surprise for them too since I have my VOCODER working - MECHANICAL BELLE AND ROBOT SEBASTIAN HERE I COME. Wait.. Haha I guess Robin Stout didn't realise it was me when I called him through my vocoder the other day. (Sorry Robin) >Then, just the other day, I was phoned up at work by a ROBOT WOMAN, who > refused to have a chat and instead told me, in the tone of voice she > usually reserves for evaporating puny humans, that the time has > changed - to 7 o'clock. So that's 7 o'clock then, kids. Oh yes. So, the next couple of weeks should be tres fun - since I'm going to be seeing SIMON AND SEBASTIAN AND BELLE AND GARFUNKEL!!!!!! All in the same week. And of course The Shins, and, *gasp*, The Everly Brothers are supporting! Hope to see some of you guys on the Saturday. Someone should TAKE CONTROL of a meetup. Like, howsabout meeting up at Green Park or something? It's almost walkable to Somerset House from there.

Sinister: Theres More to Berlin Than an Essex Green Song
by Krister Bladh 07 Jul '04

07 Jul '04

Hi all, I was in Berlin for a week a week ago. I dont know if there were any local Sinisters and I didnt check before I went I really didnt have time to plan much at all as we left the day after I came home muddy, with blisters on my feet from the three-day festival at Hultsfred (the biggest in Sweden). But it was a great festival. Got to see Essex Green for the second time (and they did play Berlin). And Bright Eyes and Morrissey of course. Berlin was nice too and didnt even mind the rain much. Id already been rained on plenty at Hultsfred. At least here I could enjoy the luxury of having Dry Feet (probably the most underestimated thing of all time). As I was there with the family it was more seeing-as-many-famous-sights-as-possible than wild night life. But I managed to make a few interesting observations anyway. First of all there were a lot of alternative people, as one would expect. Not like Spain (which would be the ideal country for twee pop with all the sunshine, flowering gardens and stuff) where most people seem satisfied with the mainstream native culture. But I couldnt pin-point people to a specific sub-culture though. In Sweden its pretty easy to see if someone listens to indierock, indiepop, punk or whatever (even post-rock people have a certain look to them!). It could be they were hiding in specific areas Also in Sweden people have badges like the jam or b & s. The only badges I saw in Berlin had things like no war written in them. I even managed to drag my family down to Kreuzberg were the Hipsters are supposed to thrive like mosquitoes in a swamp. At least they did in the 80s when you could find Nick Cave in the darkest corner of some seedy bar and Blixa Bargeld lying on the pavement with a hammer, screaming in German, recording for the next Einstürzende Neubauten record. But anyway I think we missed the liveliest part of the district. We also went to the scary KaDeWe (what is it with Germans and names?) like Harrods, but with seven stories. The really scary part was when I found I copy of DCW in the records compartment. Thank god for the much better records-store Cover, which of course had all b&s, looper and gentle waves records. I found Books too (hm wasnt that before it was released?). I got my hands on some yo la tengo, galaxie 500 and red house painters cds. And at the end of next month its time for the twee festival We & You in my hometown. Thats really going to great! Darren Hayman is coming as well as Lovejoy and Tompaulin. Anyone living in Sweden really must go there. Im thinking about going to Mitt Sista Liv (my last life) in Kalmar too. Free Loan Investments, Milky Wimpshake and Scarlet Swells will be performing!

Sinister: 1984
by Ruth 07 Jul '04

07 Jul '04

"guess that's that for now, but before i go, do let me know about your opinions on the following: kafka's "the trial" vs orwell's "1984" - which of these 2 "worlds" do you find the most disturbing? (and why)" damn... i havent read the trial but since ive just finished reading 1984 i though id comment anyway :) might as well have one side of the argument. � i very nearly didnt finish the book actually... i reached the bit where the main character started reading "the book" which just seemed a way for orwell to get out some of his pet theorys and was much longer than actually nessesarry but since i was on holiday and id finished all my other books i persevered and then it got a LOT better. the bit with the rats was particularly disturbing because we had found a load of huge spiders and i had dreams about spiders riding on rats... that was really disturbing... so my point was umm im not sure... maybe that dreams are more disturbing than books? anyway 1984 is extreamly disturbing but i dont think that its that revolutionary or special or even particulary worth reading... perhaps it was more revolutionary an idea at the time? the curious incident of the dog in the nightime is an excellent book though, i cant remember who its by but its written from the point of veiw of an autistic boy.. � humm.... ive wasted enough of your time... you can stop reading now __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
