Sinister: squirreling a ferret

31 Jan '06

A quick mail... if there are any secret Dublin area lurkers out there, fancy coming to a B&S meet this sunday? Turn up at the gates of TEH BOTANIC GARDENS at 2.30pm. We are going to look at plants, and then we are going to drink pints in a pub, and then we are going to go see Belle & Sebastian play a concert. It will rock. I heard the new musical sensation Amy Alysson on the radio just now. She has annoyingly nasal voice. Unlike the fair Isobel. rock on!

Sinister: Dress up in uniform
by jo perry 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

Dear listy people and the listless, Some things bother me- which is not unusual for a woman who works with children. Here I am typing away, eating couscous, helping a kid with her An Inspector Calls coursework AND trying to get the Radcliffe session to work on this archaic piece of machinery the school call a laptop. Frankly my desk is buckling under it's weight and the couscous is far too fond of the space between the keys- that dastardly grain. To further the kids theory that I am a little off my chunk I decided to bring a bit of B&S in the classroom (as if the 4 posters are not enough). The Funny Little Freddie promo was a great source of amusement to my year 9 media kids- having undertaken a rather haphazard project loosely titled "pop promotion" they balked at the notion that our friend Murdoch could be viewed as a sex symbol- my swooning did little to change their opinion. Oddly and happily though in a subsequent lesson i was invited to the switching on of an ipod screen, and there in glorious computer type fontage were the words FUNNY LITTLE FROG- God Bless the downloading fiends. London loves- Belle and Sebastian- i'm sitting down for this one. Miss Perry x ___________________________________________________________ Win a BlackBerry device from O2 with Yahoo!.

Sinister: CLUNKER, click, every trip (also london gig!!)

I must say I am a little worried that this is just an whole alBUM of THE CLUNKER though. Also shirley all the kids are into proper english FOLK these days, rather than this american stuff (although, in discussion with Ol' Father !P!O!P!kins last night, he is now moving back to c&w from his folk phase of the last year or so, always ahead of the game that bae)? > > The B&S session on Radcliffe was very enjoyable - the chaps > in fine form, happy banter, and I urge you to listen to it. I hope to do that this afternoon.

So who's going LONDON GIG next week then, FANCY ONE TIMES PINT beforehand? There is an half decent pub just round the corner from the venue with one of them GAZILLION track jukeboxes in and also ALE (and food I think). I MUST NOT get too drunked though as: A. I am sick of getting p!ssed at b&s gigs and then forgetting them B. I am going on my almost-brother-in-law's stag do the next day which will contain BOUZE ENOUGH. Unfortunately I can't, at the moment, remember the name of said bouzer, but hey, there's a whole week and a bit to work that out... Speaking of english FOLK, the delightful people at cherry red haf rereleased the Bridget St John albums: http://www.cherryred.co.uk/cherryred/artists/bridgetstjohn.htm which are absolutely LOVELY (in a slightly mimsy folksy-with-an-touch-of-psychedelia way), the first two anyway, haven't heard "thank you for" yet. xoxo CarsmileSteve **************************************************************************** For the latest City Lit news &information, please visit our website www..citylit.ac.uk **************************************************************************** The City Literary Institute Registered Office: 1-10 Keeley Street, London WC2B 4BA Registered in England no: 2471686 Registered Charity no: 803007 **************************************************************************** PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE. **************************************************************************** This e-mail may contain privileged or confidential information.

Frankly I think I'd prefer it if Isobel collaborated with Mar(c)ks Radcliffe and Riley rather than this "Lanegan" chancer. Imagine!! "Ith it wicked not to care - COD FISH BATTERED BALLS - when you er... la la something twee - I'M GREAT ME GET TO BED" etc etc. Hope everyone is well and having their 5x portions of fruit and veg per day. I am DELIGHTED to find Innocent Smoothies count as two portions, and am smugly patting myself on my back for being so blimming bourgoise (and bendy) that I fork out £1.89 for a smoothie instead of 30p on two bananas. I've made it now, who ever said I needed a fancy education. My parents would be so proud if they hadn't lost their eyes and ears down t'pit. Oh, does anyone have a Reel to Reel machine by the way? I went to a car boot sale.

Sinister: There's this band I really like!
by zoe charaktinou 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

Hello :-) Yes it is 1996 all over again indeed. On Thursday the 26th I had the utmost pleasure to be at the B&S gig in Birmingham and oh how much I loved it - there might still be people here who might remember my moaning for the lack of B&S gigs here in the tropical Midlands way back in the Year 2000. A smile has been stuck on my face ever since- and this is a period that very few things can make me smile, although I hope it won't last for long. This was only the second time I saw our band live but it was way better than the first time. I was at the front having quite a good view- pity I couldn't see the cellist but hey-ho. There was dancing, there was swearing, there was crowd surfing - by none other than our boy, Stu M. And in the end I squeezed past the 16 year olds - and hooraaaah to them btw! - waving my ticket like it was 10 years ago demanding it to be signed by none other than Stu M ahahaha. Oh and I managed to get myself together and say to him what I have been wanting to say for a long time: Thank you!...ah bless... I am so so so so so so so happy I got to see them I cannot stop dancing and clicking my heels... Hope y'all are doing well... Until next time, ta ra :-DDDD Zoe +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: More on PUT THE BOOK BACK ON THE SHELF
by B. Clay Moore 23 Jan '06

23 Jan '06

I've gotten a few responses asking for more info on the PUT THE BOOK BACK ON THE SHELF collection, so I'll share some details here with Sinister, including the lineup. I'm not sure how familiar with Image Comics people are, but Image was founded in the early 90s on the strength of big, noisy ugly superhero comics. In the past several years the company has moved toward a much more ecclectic mix, and one of the things we had success with while I was there were a couple of anthologies, featuring some beautiful work by a variety of "indie" creators, including a book called FLIGHT, which featured many lovely tales by a group of artists and animators. Over a year ago, Eric Stephenson (Image's Executive Director) asked me what I thought about an anthology collecting creators' takes on songs by singer/songwriter Stephen Duffy. Eric had been in touch with Duffy, and thought he'd be a good choice. Naturally, Belle & Sebastian leapt to mind for me. Not only do I think the band's songs are full of interesting imagery and open to interpretation, but I knew a lot of comic creators who were into their music. The first thing I did was track down B&S's U.S. management, who led me to the UK management, and eventually to Stuart himself, whose advice was basically, "I say just do it!" And so we set about assembling a talented group of creators, giving them the freedom to interpret the songs however they saw fit. The irony here is that I've been embroiled in a lot of financial and creative difficulty lately, and didn't manage a contribution myself (I was working on a take on "The Wrong Girl"). Crushing, that, but I wasn't about to rush something, and I have to take solace in playing a large role in making the thing happen. So the book has been solicited, is available for preorder, and should hit shops next month. For those who are curious, here's a complete look at the creative lineup, with the song titles they're playing around with. A simple Google search should lead you to lots of info on each of the talents listed below: The State I'm In by Rick Spears & Rob G. Expectations by Chris Butcher, Kalman Andrasofszky & Ramon Perez I Could be Dreaming by Andi Watson We Rule the School by Mark Smith & Paul Maybury Me and the Major by Tom Hart Fox in the Snow by Jacob Magraw Get Me Away from Here, I'm Dying by Catia Chen Dog on Wheels by Kako Lazy Line Painter Jane by Janet Harvey & Laurenn McCubbin You Made Me Forget My Dreams by Matthew S.

Sinister: PUT THE BOOK BACK ON THE collection
by B. Clay Moore 22 Jan '06

22 Jan '06

Hi, list- I've been off the Sinister list for a few years, but I've recently rejoined, and I wanted to share with everyone a B&S project I helped put together. Just so everyone knows, I'm not making a dime off this book, but I want to see it succeed for a couple of reason...one, because I want to promote Belle & Sebastian, and two, because I want to see more projects along these lines. Along with Eric Stephenson of Image Comics (the number three comic book publisher in North America), I helped put together a comic anthology of stories by top cartoonists, based on the songs of Belle & Sebastian. We did so with the band's blessing, although without their direct participation (aside from keeping Stuart abreast of our progress). I was the head of PR & Marketing at Image when we began the process of putting the book together, but I'm now totally freelance. The result is a beautiful thing, called PUT THE BOOK BACK ON THE SHELF, and it will be available next month. We managed to track down a number of brilliant creators who enjoy the band's music, and the results are truly special. I'm extremely proud of it, and I hope it strikes a chord with B&S fans everywhere, and that it leads more people to the band's work. You can already order the book at Amazon UK or Amazon US: Just enter "Put the book back on the shelf" in the search field. The US listing has the proper cover art (by Laurenn McCubbin). Again, I'm not making a penny off the book, so please don't think I'm spamming the list for commercial purposes. I just think all of Sinister will enjoy the book, since that's who I had in mind when I suggested B&S as the best band to represent. It was a bit selfish, as they're my favorite band bar none, but I also knew the band's aesthetic would appeal to indie cartoonists and creators. If people are interested, I'll be glad to explain how the book came together.
