Sinister: Bits of "Death of a Ladies' Man" sounds like Pink Floyd
by Matthew Henderson 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

A girl I knew from my hometown came up to Glasgow rather spontaneously on Monday. Yesterday I took her out to the Necropolis. I hadn't been there in some years, as I don't tend to frequent the East End of the City Centre very often (there's a big hill!). I only tend to go there if I'm out of ideas on how to show a visitor a good time. You can't really appreciate what the city has to offer in a few days of sightseeing, so its always off to the obvious places. Anyway, I'm glad I don't go there very often, because they're something quite wonderful about it, and I reckon it wouldn't be quite as interesting if I went up there all the time. Perhaps its the mournful majesty of a bygone era of merchants and industrialists, philanthropists and Lord Provosts, and a host of infants who barely lasted a month. The beautiful/eerie nature owes a lot to the view, of course, but also to the knocked over gravestones (obelisks, beheaded and smashed cherubs covered in graffiti by Celtic fans) and that bloody statue of John Knox, looking with his ever disparaging eyes over the city. The view, of course, is wonderful, even if it is basically the Tennents brewery, endless tower blocks, and disused land with hills in the distance. I remember my first time there, thinking, "hey! I recognize this...its from the Modern Rock Song video!" I always think it strange that its not used more often in videos. Also, its strange to see people picnicking between the rows...essentially they're a few feet above some decayed corpse. Oddly morbid if you think about it, but nobody ever does. I don't think the dead will mind, either. Speaking of the Modern Rock Song video, a friend of mine called me up the other day. "So someone has traded in the Fans Only DVD. Is it good? Is it worth it?" "yeah, its really good. Of course, I'm a fan, so I can't tell how much you might enjoy it, buts its wonderfully edited." "so are the videos of the band or a bunch of indie tw**s that'll make me want to punch the screen?" "uh....its a mix." It put me in the mood to listen to the Belles, as I've recently been obsessed with tracks like Tocadisco's Sunday at Space Mix of the Pet Shop Boys' "Minimal". I pulled out the Life Pursuit, readying myself to do the washing up. Its really the only time I ever use CD's anymore, as technology and convenience has made them virtually useless once I load them onto my computer and iPod. I think, "oh great, this'll get some play." Of course, it skips within 1 minute. I just bought this damn thing a few months ago! I'm failed by the old world. I'm failed by the new world as well. My iPod, after just over three years of dutiful service, has glitched itself to that great gig in the sky. If there ever is to be a Glasgow Sinister picnic, I propose we fashion a wooden boat on which to lay my beloved mp3 player so it can drift from the Clyde out to Avalon to await its eventual return with Arthur. I would suggest we shoot a flaming arrow onto it to burn it as it floats away, but I wouldn't want to disturb the otters. -Matt +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The Stars of Tractors and Fields
by Robin Stout 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

Ay up! > I took a photograph of you in the bootylicious border > It broke the arse of men and deflowered the girls and Paulo Stinsoni Paulo Stinsoni! Hurrah! I'd forgotten all about him! I was just on the phone to my mum when she said "Oh I'd better go, your father says it's starting to thunder and we should go and hide under the stairs". So they did. Gorsh, heavens to Betsy, the weather's hot isn't it? My trousers are all stuck to my legs. Reminds me of when I went to a fancy dress party as Adam Ant: Dandy Highwayman, and had to wear tight leather trousers on the hottest day of the year. Oh my! Don't do that! I did win a prize for maximum dandiness though. It was very difficult explaining to an Italian (Michael Jackson) and his Korean wife ("I have come as a princess") who Adam Ant was. "Um, he's a New Wave popstar, but he's also a highwayman, a dandy highwayman. You know, a highwayman? He'd hold up stagecoaches and steal gold and snog busty ladies. Yes, a criminal basically. But he'd sing to people too, and wear makeup. Mmm, yes. So you're a princess are you?" Whenever I want to listen to Belle and Sebastian these days I watch Countryfile on BBC2. Last time I saw it they had a feature about Massey Fergusson tractors over a The Life Pursuit medley. Cor! I reckon Struan should do a duet with John Craven. He'd bloody love it. Do we still talk about music on the Sinister Mailing List? I'm looking forward to the new Pipettes album, yeah, and the new Sprites album, oh boy. I'm going to another fancy dress party on Saturday. What do you think I should go as? I reckon I will go as a Ghostbuster! All I need is a vacuum cleaner and a boiler suit and dorky specs - Egon Spengler! I could make some ectoplasm out of mushy peas. Or frogs. Or Swarfega. Does this still exist? When I was a lad we had a big pot of Swarfega in the bathroom, so my dad could dunk his hands in it after he'd been up a ladder. It was magical and I presume highly toxic to children as I haven't seen it since. Perhaps it was made out of ghosts. Or frogs. Toodleoo, Robin PS: A picnic sounds good to me! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: living out the life of a poet
by Rachel Playforth 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

Hello Sinister! Ooh it's been a while hasn't it? Like Andrea (hi!) I am now a Professional Information Goddess, having finished my MA - which seemed to take about nine years although it was really only three - in May. I don't think I'll be launching my new skills on the unsuspecting library world just yet though, as I now have a little Sinister bun in the oven hooray! *waves at all the illustrious and lovely Sinister parents* I know Mozart is the composer of choice for making unborn babies clever or whatever (my mum favoured Bach I believe so I am only moderately endowed with genius), but Belle and Sebastian seem to me to be ideal pre-birth listening for the discerning foetus. Matt might go for something a bit more bass-heavy and I can see his point because there's a lot of distracting background noise in the womb, but I also think the baby needs to be born with the melody to Another Sunny Day already hardwired into its brain. Famously, current crops of babies are soothed by the Neighbours theme tune, because when their mothers were pregnant it signified them sitting down and relaxing, which relaxation was transmitted to bubs. But I don't have a TV and the programmes I watch on DVD [Lost, 24, Alias, The West Wing] tend to raise my heart rate if anything. But B&S do make me relax. At this rate baby Archel-Matt will recognise Stuart Murdoch's voice better than it recognises ours. Update on The Life Pursuit: I now like all but one track very much, including We Are The Sleepyheads which I was unaccountably indifferent to before (Honey you were right all along!). But Mornington Crescent is still by Oasis. Red knicker picnic sounds lovely. (And I guess it's true what they say about Primrose Hill being a fertility site then...) I hope I can come - as long as Ken promises not to bring any cod roe, as merely reading his post made me want to heave. Whatever cravings I eventually get I am almost sure they won't be for fish eggs. Not sure what a Sinister picnic looks like sober though, so that will be strange... My sandwiches: humous and cucumber. Although today I will get to have a Sandwich Adventure, because I am buying one at work instead of making my own. Who knows what delights the lovely ladies in the Humanities Cafe will have to offer? I'm sure there were other things to say but they've slipped my mind. Still, if I remember them later then it might mean I'll post more than once this year. Warm fuzzies to all of you, Archel+bump xxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: To My Dog On Wheels
by Gayle E. Anderson 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Sinister: To My Dog On Wheels. Sinister. 28/05/1999. The intention was to write this post, and post it, on the 28th May 2006, for that was an anniversary. But things never go quite as planned, so here it is, not that far away from two months late. Now I'm feeling flat you seem a mile away. It would seem there is a picnic approaching. A picnic! Its been suggested in order so afford a trip to said picnic that I eat less and the sinisters (are they still sinisters?) will feed me lots of beer when I get there. Alas! No amount of not eating will get me to the picnic. Maybe, one day, there will be another Scottish picnic. Maybe there already has been. I'm so tired that down on the pavement I lay. There is a mighty bruise on the back of my right hand. I like that it is perfectly square. Right angles and everything. No joke. I sort of like that its 3 knuckles wide and 2 knuckles deep(and starts half way down the back of my hand), because people might think I'm hard. Grr Arrrg. I don't like that one of my fingers keeps wiggling of its own accord. Thats just weird. Til the blossoms of the trees come falling on me. Apparantly there are websites out there where people who go 'dogging' can upload pictures. There is an age limit though. Fall on me. So this week I have been eating thousand island, lettuce and humous sandwiches. It costs about £5 and lasts a week. Bargain! Hovis best of both bread(no bits!!!), tesco healthy living omega 3 spread, tesco cheapass thousand island sauce, tesco strong lettuce and tesco mediterranean styleee humous. Proir to this I mainly enjoyed toasted sandwiches with tesco seafood spread or coronation chicken. Sometimes I treat myself to a tesco greek salad with feta cheese and olives. Or have some soup. I like carrot and coriander. Or good old Heinz Tomato. Can't go wrong with that, Heinz Tomato with some buttered rolls. Mmmm. I do not think that 'Helmans' mayonnaise is needed to make a good sandwich. Not that its not good, it is! I have never met anyone who calls it 'Helmans' either. 'Helmans mayo' maybe, you know just to make sure they don't end up with the cheap stuff. Some people don't like the cheap stuff. I don't mind. This has been a dreadful post. x 'What if....' _________________________________________________________________ The new MSN Search Toolbar now includes Desktop search! http://join.msn.com/toolbar/overview +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: goodbye mr. boucher
by Andrea Young 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Hi everybody I guess I'll post here anytime Archel and Ken come out of the woodwork, even though I've never met them in person. I'm just a crowd follower that way. I guess I probably did meet Ken on #sinister, and I've seen him on flickr. I'm under rabbithaircut there, if you're wondering why I friended ya, Ken. Finished grad school 2 months back, and now I'm a professional. Professional librarian, that is. In 3 days I'm going to pack up my skills and drive away from New York City and back to the west coast, though where I will end up is still unknown. Portland or Seattle. If you know anyone who needs a good librarian around those places, you can tell 'em you know one. Speaking of the Northwest, I'm pretty sure I'm going to start up Kittenmouse Radio again, or at least, I'll do some fill-in slots during August, while I'm staying in Portland and looking for work. If I end up in Seattle, you might see me on KEXP or something like that. The old website (http://web.pdx.edu/~andreay/) was deleted, since I don't go to school anymore at PSU, but I'm on Myspace and I have a googlepage, with one of my old shows uploaded, which you can download in tasty little mp3-flavored bites here... http://kittenmouseradio.googlepages.com :) Andrea (Kittenmouse) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Another punny day (+ added PICNIC??)
by Kenneth P Y Chu 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Another punny day, I met you up on #sinister You were digging plants, I dug you, uphill minister I took a photograph of you in the bootylicious border It broke the arse of men and deflowered the girls and Paulo Stinsoni (ken stop) Oh yes. Hi! Two post in 4 days, man. This is championship form I think. And the resurgence of the brotherhood continues. Rise, comrades! Tell me about your escapades and sandwiches. I had a toasted sandwich with butter and COD ROE in it the other day, because I bought some from Ikea - it comes out of a tube like toothpaste! and tasted delicious. It's occupying my mind so much just now: Every Morning I wake up wishing my toothpaste were cod roe, and when I finally get over it and head to work I get lost trying to find my way to Tottenham Cod Roe. There's no escaping from it! Another thing that's been occupying me I think has been listening to music with girlie singing. So good. Lately on my iPod a lot were an old Faye Wong album, some Sundays live tracks and the new Camera Obscura album. I just can't get tired of listening to a girl sing well. I can't seem to get tired of the sun, either! It's been two months now of exceptional sunshine and I keep humming 'Heatwave' when I'm cooking. And I'm so tanned. Before the summer I was 'desert sand', now it's more just 'brown'. Last week, I think I could have claimed to be 'fuzzy wuzzy brown' but the Saturday afternoon on Primrose Hill put a stop to that. My flatmate ended up with patches of 'Razzle Dazzle Rose' I think. On the Crayola website they suggest 'Beaver' to be a dull brown colour but I think they're wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anyway, all that lot brings us to the point of the email! Primrose Hill! Sun! Red Colour! Beavers! You know what I'm getting at?? PICNIC! If my calculations are not incorrect, this summer is going to be Sinister's 9th birthday. Sigh, so young. The final year of single digit age must be intimidating for such a youngling. So we ought to throw a good picnic! I think! What do you think? I think the birthday happens sometime near the last weekend of August, so we should perhaps picnic, on Saturday, the 26th August. What say you? Email me. Email the list. Viva la revolution! May the red be with bull, Ken +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

I'm so sorry I didn't see this message until now! My husband and I would have loved to have shown you the sights of L.A. Did you make it to the show and around the city okay?

Sinister: all jiggly
by mummy i've grazed my knee 15 Jul '06

15 Jul '06

Bonjour, I feel all French listening to Yann Tiersen's masterpiece, the Amelie soundtrack - it just urges a cycle ride into the sunset, baguette over shoulder, beret perched jauntily atop la tete, to go on strike for ever. Vive la revolution! Ken tried to chivy the list into action in a bid to reclaim the once cherished fraternite of this fine parish by way of glorious satire. After such a fine display, I felt utterly compelled to post. BELLE AND SEBASTIAN Don't they seem to be playing a lot. Constantly hopping over land and water. If any of you want to hear them playing live somewhere in America, I think Washington, go here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5235927 The lovely Iain Baker of XFM told us all. I bought the single last week and, though not surprised, was a bit bemused at the quality of the b-sides. Combined with Stevie's effort on the Funny Little Frog single, they have to be amongst the weakest songs the band have ever put out. I still can't get into the last couple of tracks on the album either - ...Cup Of Tea just makes me hum Big John Shaft and ever since Archel mentioned that Mornington Crescent was an Oasis b-side, I haven't been able to disagree. On the plus side, all the records still make me tingle. I should stick on TWATTYBUS and remember what glorious times they were. CAMERA OBSCURA I went to see them in Leeds for the first time last month and what a lovely affair it was. Despite coming on stage half an hour late, they charmed the pants off everyone. Traceyanne did look like a rabbit in headlights though - I wonder why after 10 years she still seems so very uncomfortable with the idea of performing in such a well loved band. Indie boys were going weak at the knees LILY ALLEN Apparantly she is the new "MySpace sensation", elected straight from the streets in the greatest music democracy. But as Stuart (Tales of Jenny guitarist and former sinisterine) pointed out to me, she is not exactly from the streets, she's Keith Allen's daughter. I can't help but be suspicious. PICNIC What's this about a picnic? Was I not paying attention to that bit. It's been years since I trundled down to the smoke for pringles and red knickers - what a lovely idea. I go down quite a lot for band practices these days (shameless plug - www.myspace.com/talesofjenny - straight from the streets and no relation to Keith Allen) so I might be able to make it along. Please repost details if there are any - merci! BAPPS TRAINS Woah! I saw the link at the bottom of Rachels message and decided to investigate - Bapps makes models of the Metropolitan Line in Lego! If a cooler thing has been done, I've yet to see it. There're even little videos - you should really take a ganders BIKE I think it's time to go and have a bike ride along the river and out into the countryside of North Yorkshire.

Sinister: She said "CHU ain't ugly, you KEN kiss me if you like"
by Rachel Apps 14 Jul '06

14 Jul '06

Hello Sinister!! I must say that Ken Chu is still impressing me with his clever keystrokes, even after all of these years! Most of my knickers are red, so I'm sure to have a clean pair to wear to a picnic next month, not that anyone will really know (whether they're red OR clean!) I usually try to avoid being photographed in pants on social outings but mostly because there's no way I could look better than Ken does in undie photos, the beefcake. So you'll just have to take my word for it. A couple of weekends ago, Ken and I were walking along the seaside discussing the raging music scene in Hastings. Robster took a photo of Gaylords Hair Centre. Ben ate jellied eels. Marianna and Ken frolicked in the sea. We decided that if this were five years ago, we'd probably post something about it on Sinister. I used to post anything and everything here. Mostly I just talk to people now, but I realise that most of these people are the same I met through this list. I guess that's part of the reason why I left posting for so long. Like Ian, I was recently listening to The Boy With The Arab Strap and feeling really nostalgic and happy. I think TWATTYBUS withstands the test of time. Ben and I heard a song or two from Dear Catastrophe Waitress again after not hearing it for quite a while and I recall, I think we both kind of like it. I wonder what The Life Pursuit will sound like in three years ... or eight years? Actually, I've been wanting to post ever since The Life Pursuit was released, about a strange picture I get in my head when I hear "The Blues Are Still Blue". I have an image in my mind of washing machine races, where people put an off-balance load of laundry in a couple of washing machines and when they start them, they shake so much that they "walk" and the winner is the one that crosses the finish line first. I must have seen it on tv or in a film, probably when I was a kid. That's what I think of when I hear that song. You know, laundrette, place a little bet ... yep. I told Ben about it and he thought I was a little screwy, too. But I'm not embarrassed. If anyone is going to appreciate it, it will be someone who still reads Sinister posts. Anyone? Anyone?
