Sinister: here it rains in february

Dear Sinister, Hi, Ken! I am still subscribed to the list, &c. &c. I am quite pleased to see lots of mail from it again, I might add! Yesterday I decided it would be fun to shuffle all the Belle and Sebastian songs on my iPod to see what would happen. Mostly this was at work so nothing particularly out of the ordinary transpired, but when I left I had a few interesting moments which would have been less interesting without a soundtrack. In particular, I was sitting at the bus stop waiting to go home; it being Valentine's Day, there were a fair number of couples walking down Franklin sharing umbrellas and whatnot, and I'm standing there watching people walk by with "Nice Day For A Sulk" playing as all this is happening. I still don't think I've put that scene together yet. For my next trick I will drive to the ocean and watch the sun rise, and I will play nothing but Lightning Bolt and the Blood Brothers whilst doing so. I don't remember the last time I wrote to you but it was almost certainly before I moved to North Carolina and became a library student. I moved to North Carolina and became a library student! School is easier now than it used to be, and I haven't gotten used to there not actually being winter where I live anymore. I guess there was that one day, but I was in Chicago for that. Have we already discussed how many librarians or librarians-elect are on the list? It seems like there are a lot. Do you guys like cataloging as much as I do? I think it's the best thing ever. Ethan wrote a post, and to it I would respond that I think I used to know more of you than I maybe do now, since I've been away for eight months. How are you all doing? I would like to hear from you. Also, do you think the Go! Team are way awesome, or just totally great? -kevin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Being Helpful 2005
by marisa stroud 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

So, I wrote an email to you guys a few days ago in order to try and cheer Ken up, and juuuuuuuuuuuuuust when I was finished, I hit the delete key or my touchpad did something or whatever it is that makes my browser click back to the previous page, thus COMPLETELY LOSING EVERYTHING I WROTE!! and since it was the second time it had happened in two days, I tossed my stupid laptop onto my bed (as gently as possible under the circumstances) and went into a ginormous huff. I�m sure you�re all very gratified to know that. Anyway, I was trying to do Helpful Things. It wasn�t my New Year�s Resolution or anything, but since I don�t tend to make New Year�s Resolutions (mostly because I forget them a couple of weeks in, and also, I can�t be arsed) Being Helpful is always a good thing to try and do. So I wrote the email to try and Help Ken Feel Like Someone�s Listening, and in the email I will try to Help Lucy Give Her Mother Music. I make mixes to spread the love of the music I enjoy, and the more people copy those mixes (or songs from them) the more likely it is that someone else will hear a certain band and then really love them and help them rise to the top of the land! Cause really, I base my Do-I-Like-This-Music? determination around a) the tune, b) the words, and c) would I be friends with these people? Really, the last criterion is just icing on the cake, but wouldn�t you like a band whose music you enjoyed and whose members were (imaginary or not) friends of yours to rule the world (in music form)? almost sounds like content... But I am not that cool. One time Stevie gave me a hug, but I think it was because a) I was shaking like a leaf, and b) he plays guitar to get the ladies, no? Oh, it�s been far far too long since I last indulged in a lazy Fans Only afternoon... I am failing quite dismally at Helping Ann Find Cool Friends, however. I�d point you to some of mine, Ann, but then I remember, oh, I didn�t really have any. I had a) a terrible flatmate that never washed (I swear, she didn�t shower for six weeks. I counted) and who eventually drove me into the arms of b) a sweet boy, but who turned out not to be able to handle my ways (this is a boy who threw a little tantrum about having to go down with me to the DCW �cd release party� for B&S at midnight on a school night(!!) *gasp!* last October. �Can�t you go by yourself?� It�s in a scary part of town that I�ve never been to, at midnight, at a venue I�m not even sure I�ll be able to get into, in fucking ned-ridden Glasgow. Cheers, darling) Anyway, Miss Ann, perhaps as a result of your appeal, some nice Sinistrine will email you and say, Come down to the Winchester/a pub quiz/a picnic in a park, I�ll be the tall one in the blue shirt (*ahem hem*...nice Glasgow-based Sinistrines...organise and outing and wear a blue shirt!) or else join some sort of club or society at one of the unions (and as I know most of the GUU types, I�d say affiliate yourself with the QMU, love), just point out that you�re an international and they�ll forgive you anything, and anyway it�s not a team that you will have had to been training to join, it�s just a little club. I know these ideas are far, far easier to suggest than to do, but I guess I�m looking back at my time there and wishing I�d done these things. anyway. I am loving this winter in Ottawa, skating on the Rideau Canal at midnight when the city workmen are just surfacing the ice and it�s all perfect and glassy and the sky is clear and you can see so so many stars!! (a girl from Toronto is not used to seeing stars at night in a city), but I can feel my feet itching again for something new. I�m glad this degree thing is over in August (two-year degree in ten months...yeah, I guess you could say I�m under a bit of stress) and extra glad to be welcoming a very special Aussie to Canada next Friday night. Long dark February nights under the covers are so much nicer with someone to cuddle... marisa xo ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: standing on the shoulder of a cryostat
by s.santabarbara＠qmul.ac.uk 07 Feb '05

07 Feb '05

hello my dear and darling, this is precisely when I am at the moment, supstened on the last step of a metal stair and hanging in between the microwave circulator line and the helium transfer line on the top of 2 feet hight bath cryostat: nice place to start the week, but if you're wondering what I am doing over there, I supopose you shouldn't really ask... well, also my supervisor, actually my former supervisor was a bit impressed when he walked into the room and found me hugging the big black tall cylinder, he wondered if I had any affective deficiencies, well, I surely do, I said, but I'm just checking if the theing is leaking, at least by now.. she walked off the dark room laughing, and well, yes, It would be probably look absolutely ridicolous to find somone cuddling a cryostat, that's what not enough love and tpoo much fluorescence makes of you, and is a warning. take care love stefano +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: still alive and reading
by elle 06 Feb '05

06 Feb '05

So, Ken wanted to know where everyone was and so I thought I'd drop you all a quick line for the first time in, like, ever. It's a bit scary now I'm writing, but it was my New Year Resolution in about 2003, so I've got to carry on now. It's amazing what I'll go to to avoid working. I'm meant to be marking a set of essays on 'Jaws' but the problem is they are so rubbish. They are totally ruining the film for me. The whole point of teaching it in the first place was I wanted to enjoy myself. I didn't think about this Bad Part of the whole thing. I might have to resort to Smarties Marking (where you put all the essays on the floor and tip a tube of Smarties over them - the reds get an A, the yellows a B and so on. THe oranges are always the lowest because I don't like orange Smarties). I have a great job. I've just finished reading a good book, a fast one for Archel, perhaps: 'The Whole business of Kiffo and the Bull-Dog' by Barry Jonsberg. I feel I should include some content but surely it's enough I'm posting? I'm listening to the new Mercury Rev CD and it's rather good. I love the way new albums grow on you (well, me). I listen to them in the background and slowly, but surely certain bits grab you and stop you and you just have to listen to them. My mum's just got a new car with a CD player (woo!) and she asked me to make her a B&S CD. That's really sweet of her, but I sort of don't want to. She'll want to talk about the tracks and all that. Am I a Bad Daughter? I might just copy her the rather fab CD Marisa made me. M, would you mind? Right, well done if you've got this far. Doubt I would have. love, L x ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!

Sinister: she thinks she's a mystery to all, but I've seen what's behind those eyes
by Mark Hester 06 Feb '05

06 Feb '05

Hello everyone. Especially Ken, to whom I say, "Here I am! I'm still subscribed to the list! This is proof!" I read Stuart's diary today for the first time this year and I was particularly taken by this: "So I got this tune, and its kind of a Big Star thing. And a bit boogieish." I must say this all sounds very exciting - I love Big Star...the story of how they failed to get the success they deserved due to record company incompetence and general misfortune is a very sad one. If you - any of you - have not got their Radio City and #1 Record albums then put that right straightaway! The third album - variously known as Big Star's Third, Sister Lovers or Femme Fatale is in contrast a rather mixed affair - as befits an album with 3 different titles - I think the band was on the verge of disintegration by then. For the record, the first ever fellow sinisterine I ever met, Rosamund, gave me a tape of Big Star singer Chris Bell's solo album. Anyway, enough Big Star stuff already! Stuart continues: "But then I had the notion that we might strip it back with the discipline of New Order type drums and choppy guitar. Then it might become something which you could dance to. Because that is important. We want to take you from your bed to the dance floor. If there was a ten-year plan for the original fan it was to take you from your bedroom to the floor. No question. But as with most ten-year plans you wont find much mention at the outset of the ten years!" It just gets better and better doesn't it? The last time B&S sounded New Orderish must've been on "Electronic Renaissance" where the bassline and some of the synths sound suspiciously like "Procession". I have no qualms about B&S going in a more dancey direction...if there are two things that have perplexed me about attitudes to their recent material it must be: ~ All of the "Your Cover's Blown" hate that went around. Personally, I love it. It's much better than, say, "Legal Man", where I felt that the band knew what they wanted to achieve but somehow weren't quite able to pull it off. ~The fact that the startling Young Marble Giants cover the band did for one of the rough Trade 25th anniversary compilations passed without comment on this board. Have you noticed how lots of old bands are reforming and recording new material? Last night I went to see House of Love who were amazing. All those old songs I never thought I'd ever get the chance to hear live, "Shine On", "The Beatles and the Stones", "Christine", "I Don't Know Why I Love You", all performed to perefection. And the original guitarist, Terry Bickers, is back with them. In a few weeks I shall be seeing the Wedding Present at the same venue, but Pop Will Eat Itself aren't putting in an apperance here, unfortunately. Ann Foreyt, I can tell you that the Glasgow sinisters are an extremely friendly bunch and I am sure they will e-mail you with suggestions of things to do and places to go. Also, why don't you join this mailing list on yahoo groups http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/the_winchester_club/ it's the list for the Winchester Club which takes place at the Woodside Social Club. I went there after the Botanic Gardens gig last summer and had a great time. I really recommend checking it out. Robin wrote: "It's a terrifying building and I suspect it was built by ghosts, long ago. " about the Royal Infirmary. There's a very good track by Durutti Column called "Royal Infirmary". It's on Bread and Circuses, I think. Also, Robin's comment made me think of the brilliant, of rather long book I'm reading at the moment called "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell". by Susanna Clark. It's a book set in the Regency period but it's a regency period with a twist in that Magic Exists. Something tells me that Archel might like it, although she prolly shouldn't try to include it in the 50 Book Challenge she's doing as it might lead her to miss her target. Dirty Vicar mentioned the Chalets which made me think "Wonder if they're gigging in the UK?" and a quick look at the band's website reveals that YES THEY ARE! Also some of the pictures on their site our hilarious (e.g. http://www.thechalets.com/images/chalets_balmy.jpg) I'm sure they're going to be really fun live.

Sinister: meeting people is easy.
by Ann Foreyt 05 Feb '05

05 Feb '05

'allo, Sinister~ I never write... but now I feel compelled to ask for advice, for which I hope you will forgive me. This semester I have moved to Scotland from the States, to study at the Uni of Glasgow (yay English and Scottish Lit!), and am rather in love. This city is wonderful, and while perhaps I am still in that dreaded honey-moon phase, I think at least I've become more athletic at the sex: the love isn't so much new and strange any more, but rather it's become comfortable and I feel strangely at home in this new life. But... as I wrote to a friend a wee bit ago, Thom Yorke is a snarky bastard. How the hell do you meet people? I suppose part of it is that I've come in as a 3rd year student to 3rd year classes, where everyone already has groups and routines to which I am entirely foreign. I'm rather shy, and so I don't quite fancy going down to a pub and just waiting for someone to approach me... there must be a better way. Or is there? So, my lovely twee kids... what say you? How can an introvert integrate into Glaswegian life? Or is the highlight of my term going to continue to be wandering the streets of the West End alone, people-watching as from under glass? I don't think I would mind that... but one can't help but feel that there must be something more... And I must say: last night I watched "Fans Only" and it definitely warmed the cockles of my heart to see buildings and streets which before had been strangers to my eyes, and now I realize that I LIVE HERE! It is a glorious, bubbly feeling. cheers~ Ann Odi et amo. quare id faciam, fortasse requiris. nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior. ~Catullus +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Reporting Back To Us (the Fat Man has arrived)
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.nhs.uk 04 Feb '05

04 Feb '05

For some reason I thought of Carmen Sandiego just a few moments ago. And I thought of you guys. That's a bit weird I admit. I never realised this at the time but when I was a teenager I think I used to quite fancy Carmen Sandiego. I don't know what exactly drew me to her. Maybe it's her style, the long flowing hair, the angled hat. Maybe it's the mysteriousness, maybe it's her cunning, how does she always manage to escape? Where on Earth is she?? So, last night there was a bit of a Sinister gathering in London. At a public house called the Glasshouse Stores, who sold beverages with ridiculous names such as "Soverign", "Fat Man", "Whoopie Cushion" and "Gin and Tonic". We gathered because Miss Madeleine McNeil was in town, and in attendance were the following: Madeleine McNeil, Mark Casarotto, Sarah Garrett Sonner, Stephen Troussé, Marianna Longmire, Nicholas Passant, Elizabeth Daplyn, Robert Brennan and Kenneth Chu. The Sinister aspect of the meeting wasn't exactly intentional -- I think it was only halfway through the gathering when we noticed that all of us were indeed from this Sinister list. It was nice. Mark C even simulated swallowing semen with the use of this thing called "Drinking Jelly" that Elizabeth D had bought from Chinatown, just like old times. Apparently he now understands why girls don't always enjoy their mouths being ejaculated upon. And it* made me miss you guys, where on Earth are you, sinister peeps? I wonder if you, you, you or you are still subscribed to the list, if you are, I miss you and I hope one day you will write in to say hi. Because I like hearing from you.

Sinister: Unit Delta Bus
by robin stout 03 Feb '05

03 Feb '05

Dear Sinister, My bus journey isn't what it used to be. The Mick Cooke lookalike who used to sit at the back has disappeared. The girl who looks like Stuart Murdoch has moved away, and the one who looks like Jarvis Cocker catches a different bus instead. Even Johnny Cash, the bus driver, is around less often, and I think he's cottoned on to me. Instead of appraising me with a warm but solemn eye, he just shakes his head like he knows I could never handle a gun. Not anymore. My friend got on and sat just across from me. He spoke to me, but never stopped looking straight ahead. After a while, I did the same. It must have looked very strange, like we were in a Northern sitcom. This thought, when it happened, gave some good vibrations, as New Year's Resolution Number One was to pretend that life was a sitcom. It seems that life takes care of this itself. The boy sat next to me texted: "I AM ON THE..." The bus stopped opposite the old Royal Infirmary. For the last few months this has been playing the part of the Albion Hospital, where Doctor Who has been vanquishing aliens. It's a terrifying building and I suspect it was built by ghosts, long ago. The sound of Harry Belafonte warmed up the January chill. While I walked up the hill, I thought of Delia Derbyshire. I'd just been reading an interview with her in which she talks about crying into the washing up. Then she says, "Those were the days when I used to do washing-up. I've perfected my minimalist living technique so it is no longer necessary." I gave this some thought. No washing up! That's quite an extraordinary claim! In fact, it's my dream of a modern future. But impossible, surely? I haven't stopped thinking about this ever since I read it. If there was ever a tale of suburban enlightenment, that would be it: No washing up! Domestic nirvana!
