Sinister: countries beginning with an S...

Like Scotland. Or SWEDEN, which is well on its way to being the new Scotland, music-wise. Apologies in advance for yet another shameless plug; but actually I don't think I've used my free shameless plug card yet, and besides, it's also got content! Kinda. For those of you still managing to lurk around these parts, or who are not playing the Myspace game (shock! horror!), hello, my name is Stacey and I run a club night here in Glasgow called Sounds of Sweden, featuring - you guessed it - the delectable sounds of Sweden, both on the decks and on stage. You may have read about us in The Guardian or... hahah sorry, always wanted to say that, and it's kinda true... ANYWAY. Our next 'do is tomorrow/tonight depending on when you read this - Thursday, Oct 19, at the Admiral Bar in Waterloo Street, Glasgow, featuring the swoonworthy resonating deep soulful sounds of The Fine Arts Showcase and Blood Music. I've got loads of savoury titbits about both bands, but I'll spare you all that just now. It's all up on our website, with music samples, photos (they're cute! as par the course with these Swedes it seems. mmmm yum!) and other fun stuff - http://www.myspace.com/soundsofsweden In between, I'll be spinning some choice poppy pop pop, including, perhaps, a Swedish cover of Photo Jenny? (see! content! more below, I swear...) While I'm at it, I might as well plug next month as well and get it over with in one e-mail. Besides, it's a BIG ONE and VERY EXCITING and I can barely shut up about it. We've got the amazing, stunning, incredible Hello Saferide, with Maia Hirasawa and Glasgow's own best-kept secret, The Poems, whose album, recently released on US label Minty Fresh, features guest vocals by none other than former B&S bird Isobel Campbell! Maybe she'll even put in an appearance at the gig. Ooooh eeee! I suppose I should mention the date eh? Wednesday, Nov 15. Same place. Tickets available in advance (yup, we so classy like that) from Tickets Scotland or Monorail. Or at tomorrow/tonight's gig (minus booking fee! Bonus!). Phew. It's over. I feel so dirty. Won't happen again, I promise. Well, at least not anytime soon.

Sinister: To pee myself completely
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.nhs.uk 16 Oct '06

16 Oct '06

Hello, I couldn't get the song "My My Metrocard" off my head this morning. I cunningly changed the "Metrocard" bit to "Oystercard", hehe, and the "mimimaiamfdmkfadkafmk wah wah wah" bit I changed cunningly to "vviaiiaviviaiviavia neh neh neh". Ich bin ein Geniuser. I watched some bits of Channel 4's 100 Greatest Albums yesterday. It was grand - or rather, it was OK, it wasn't that good except for they were building up to the no. 1, I made a wild guess that it would be Radiohead's OK Computer, and I got it right! Which means really I'm le genîus of music, or maybe just un geniuso del voting. But then I didn't predict that U2's The Joshua Tree was going to be #2, a non-prediction based on the fact that it's shit. So you know, swings and roundabouts. There were no B+S in it at all :( Coldplay's truly excellent debut album - Parachutes - did make it though, so I'm glad. Anyway, the point of this email is that: later on that evening on C4, they showed snippets of a Coachella(?) festival from the past, with loads of bands and stuff, it was funny because they showed like White Stripes playing tremendous guitar, and some DJs scratching discs meticulously, etc., then, B+S came on and they showed the bit where someone was cocking up the recorder bit of TWATTYBUS and where stuart couldn't remember the words. I thought that was really funny. That wasn't the point of the email either though, it was just a prelude. The point is that, at the end of the song, Stuart improvised the ending of the song and changed it from the bit about celebrities with cigarette ashes to something about foo fighters, and the crowd got REALLY EXCITED, in particular, there was one REALLY CAMP guy right in the front, with a red scarf and red tshirt, SCREAMING in a REALLY CAMP WAY. Um, were you that really camp guy? If so can you get in touch? I really like you and I think we should be friends. That's all.

Sinister: Channel 4... nowish

Hello sweeties. For anyone in the UK, sitting at home and sipping cocktails, Channel 4 News seems to be a doing a thing on B&S together with bands like Frank Ferguson in a few minutes time once they've given the customary time to the government to stigmatise a few more Muslim communities. Might be on tonight's news too. Dunno. Sorry for breaking as many list rules as I can in two minutes flat.

Sinister: The Cool Kids in Jersey City Heights
by John Wojcik 14 Oct '06

14 Oct '06

Hear me now. To you cool kids in JC Heights. Big up yourself. There is a bar called the corkscrew to which I am trying to get the cool kids to go. I DJ a brit pop night on odd Fridays, and I would love it if brit pop lovers would love to go. Can you all write back so I know you are there? If ya'll are not interested or have better things to do, let me know that too. Don't you fumble, just be humble. DJ Johnny Royale Dearest Honey, I realize that this may be against the terms and could be construed as a tiny bit of advertising, and most definetly shameless self promotion. I hope you don't mind, just this once.

Sinister: for the umpteenth time
by Gayle E. Anderson 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

Sinister. I went to Florida for two weeks and I do not have a tan but I did have an awful lot of fun. We saw the satellite launch from Kennedy Space CentRE, got PROPER soaked in a fantastically rainy afternoon, saw lots of wildlife. Also in Florida my lad and I celebrated our two year anniversary. Well, it happened anyway. And I had my birthday. And I am now 23. 23! I was 15 when I joined Sinister! Speaking of the zoo and the things you see.... At Busch Gardens we saw a pair of tortosie making sweet tortoise love. And At SeaWorld we saw a dolphins penis. Actually, two. By the looks of things there was a bit of a dolphin orgy going on. I returned home and informed my boss I was leaving. I have no other job to go to or anything, I told her that I would be leaving after Christmas. That was Monday, on monday nights I have college but it wasn't on so i sent the night puzzling over what to do. After much deliberation and discussion I have decided to return to full time education and I am starting an HND at college in January. And I am truly shitting myself. My sister bought me the most recent Divine Comedy album for my birthday It is very good. The Divine Comedy are touring. They are playing the ABC in Glasgow and the Liquid Rooms in Edinburgh. I have never been the ABC, the first time I saw the Divine Comedy play live was at the Liquid Rooms. The tickets are quite expensive and I am not sure I can afford to go to both especially with quitting my job shortly and such like. The Liquid Rooms would be an anniversary of sorts. Not one person has said going to college full time is a good idea, they have said 'if you're sure' or 'if thats what you really want'. Planting the seeds of doubt in my mind! I don't eat breakfast I just get as much coffee in my system as is possible in however long I have before work. In Florida we frequented a buffet resteraunt called The Golden Corral for breakfast. It was no less than AWESOME. Lunch is currently consisting of Tesco's own wholemeal bread (no bits-very important) Spread (vitalite) Seafood spread (tescos own reduced fat) Rocket lettuce all put together in sandwich formation. I had Sinister dreams last night in which there was Sinister boys and Sinister girls that I have met. They gave me a map, which was a key and I was to give it to George Michael. x I'm hiding in the dark corners of your room Where the phone never dares to ring No better than a fondly forgotten scene In a book that you never read _________________________________________________________________ Download the new Windows Live Toolbar, including Desktop search! http://toolbar.live.com/?mkt=en-gb +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Suzuki in the scrap-yard
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.nhs.uk 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

Dear Sinister, It has been a while, no? I have neglected you for the whole of September! Did you miss me? I hope everyone had a good sinister birthday, a few of us celebrated it in London in the form of a picnic, and that was really nice. It's amazing to think back the first time I was there outside the Camden Odeon, slightly disoriented from the buzzing London, and to think now I live 10 minutes bus away. It was a strange feeling. It's almost like growing up. I wonder what everyone is up to these days. In a way things hadn't changed enormously for me for a while, still working, still living in the same place, but I guess I know more things, I still haven't had a 300 game in bowling though. Interlude: Reporting backs ========================== I went to Scotchland the other week, and met up with some Sinisters, and Juicy Lucy and Ailsa and I went to Edinberg to see Belle and Sebastian from behind a hedge, as proper fucked in the head psycho-fans would do, except we were forced into this predicament by the bouncers because the organisers couldn't organise a concert at an open-air concert venue, and people with tickets but without a bracelet were relegated to the behind of the hedge. Och well, the gig was good though, it was kind of OLD SKOOL in a way, even Stuart said so, apparently the BBC wanted them to play new songs, it wasn't old enough for my liking, but old it was. They played Lord Anthony, but without the pint glass collection sounds, so kind of new skool really! There was also a LIVE THREESOME on stage. AND, properly old skool, MONICA QUEEN was called out from the crowd, and sang Lazy Line Painter Jane. *** And the other day I went to the Zoo with Robster, Marianna, Ben Apps, Rachel Apps plus a special guest who got in for free. The Zoo is awesome, someone told me it's all happening at the zoo, I didn't believe it's true, but it was, or at least there's a lot of porn. I, and several young children, for example witnessed a giraffe golden shower! Or it may have been a bukkake. I dunno, either way it looked very enjoyable and the children all got a lesson for life. =========== Anyway, this morning, as I do every morning, I went past Mornington Crescent, and I thought of you. That's all. X P.S.: no sandwich this morning but I had a bag of flame-grilled-steak crisps and a can of Red Bull for breakfast. What did you have? ********************************************************************** This email is confidential and intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.
