Hey sinnamons, Alright, my buds? Hope you're all feeling spicy. I've found this cool thing - it's too late, really, to enter the REAL competition: http://www.matadorrecords.com/belle_and_sebastian/contest.html BUT you still get to download this karaoke version of Dress Up In You. SO: how about it, let's do a sinister competition - use the mp3 there to sing your version of Dress Up In You, and send an mp3 to NOT this email, but here. dressupinchu(a)gmail.com Or, if you are not able to record yourself singing mp3, and want to send me a taped version or something, then email that same address and I'll tell you where to post it. The entries will be judged on a loose set of subjective criteria, like, whether it's good, creative, fun, bonkers, etc. In other words whether I like it or not. Winner will get a mystery prize. It's gonna be good. Plus, all entries will (if you want) be posted on an archive site, to be enshrined forever. Good ey?? Ceylonara!

Sinister: Is it wicked, Not-ting-ham?

The Hottodir said: >Greetings from Nottingham. We don't have picnics here, or >bowling, or B&S gigs; for that matter. We do have gun crime >though, and more bars and restaurants than any other city >centre in Europe, apparently. I used to live in Nottingham, and there is definitely bowling - in fact, the Nottingham AMF is, or at least used to be one of the most well-maintained bowling alleys in the country. It even has a bowling shop inside, and in it there was a guy called Mario who had a crazy gadget that measures your fingers if you ever want to get him to put snug-fitting holes in your balls, with his massive tool. However it was a bit of a bowling alley for bowling people, unlike our local bowl for local people here in Finsbury Park - I went with my flatmate last Sunday and there was a KIDS' DISCO PARTY. It was amazing, KIDS everywhere, "This is the kind of moment when you wish you were a paedophile", somebody said. The Disco was FUCKING GREAT, there was Cha Cha Slide: kids can be very obedient as long as you give them instructions in the form of a crap tune. Then it was the FAST FOOD SONG. Let's eat to the beat! A Pizza Hut a Pizza Hut Kentucky Fried Chicken and a Pizza Hut. If only they played the coming across chris song also though. Speaking of songs: David Giordanella said >pineforest crunch are from sweden, so many fab groups from >there i've noticed... I kept reading it as the "Pinefox Crunch" and I'm not sure if I (want to) know what on Earth one of those would be. ------------------------------------------------------------ Ken P.S.: Hi Christiaan! I can't believe you said you were doing it but you didn't actually do it... Annie is a girl... I like girls... I want them to like me but they don't... Maybe on Valentine's Day they will though... I'll give them a nice V.D. surprise lol... reply to me.... ********************************************************************** This email is confidential and is intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

Sinister: The boy who didn't dance til he was 24
by Gayle E. Anderson 07 Feb '07

07 Feb '07

Sinister. Which for January, could almost have been: 'Gayle E. Andersons Personal Blog'. He still worries about. A mutual friend told me. I'm not sure what to make of that. Two weekends ago said mutual friend and I went to Edinburgh. It was LATE. We went to a pub. With a group of people I had never met. Then we went to a club called 'The Citrus Club'. I had my picture taken by a random boy with a random boy. The didn't know each other and I didn't know them. The boy in the picture and I danced until 3am. His name was Mark and he was terrific good fun to dance with. He was only 21 though. He kissed me! Gasp! Young man! I kissed him back, of course. He did not get my number. Then the countdown started. And the weekend after that, I finished at work. It was. Strange. On Monday I flew to Ireland. The flight was booked on Thursday. To meet a an Irish Revolutionary Socialist Youth Worker that I'd never met before. The plan was this: arrive in Ireland Monday night, fly back home Thursday morning. Thursday morning came. So a flight home on Sunday was booked. He took me to the best coffee shop I have ever been to, it is also a very quaint flower shop with the Waterboys on the stereo. He took me to Connemara and bought me my first pint of Guiness in Ireland. He took me to Neactains where they have Staropramen on tap and belle and sebastian on the playlist. He took me to the Roisin Dubh where David Ford is playing in two weeks and at night you can dance and drink until late. I met mountaineers and descendants of Russians. I shall miss his company immensely, even if he did get me with a beermat. Thats the worst thing about meeting new friends. Missing them. I hope he visits soon and I can show some of the things I find beautiful and feel passionately about. Its good to share these things. The Socialist had to go to work, so I had alot of time to wander, read, drink coffee. My first day of wandering brought me to a coffee shop that is also a flower shop. It is delightful. The Waterboys played on the stereo. I read my book - The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom. On Friday my wandering led me to a shop called "Bell, Book and Candle" where I bought a book called "The Portable Virgin" by an author from Dublin. It is a collection of short stories. With a sandwich, a bottle of Galway water and book in hand, I found a spot on the beach. Listening to the sea, reading The Portable Virgin. I sat and watched, the sea, the people, the stones. The sun started to set beside me. And I watched as people strode off into the sunset, and I captured them forever in jpeg format. After a time a Lad came along. With a dog. He would throw a rock a few feet into the water, the dog would intently roll the rock to shallower water then put his whole head under to retrieve it. One time, his whole body except his tail went under. I continued to read, and get colder, and watch the people, and I even took some pictures, of the boy and the dog when I could see he wouldn't notice. It got colder, much colder. But watching them, the dog and the boy, I found myself quite unwilling to move. A time later, two girls walked past and asked him 'who's dog is that?' to which he replied a slow deep American voice 'I have no idea!' and then he asked if it was mine. The dog tried to steal my water bottle, and The American laughed. The girls told him they'd got his drink, and they'd see him later. I stood up, I was so cold, I told him I had to move! He asked if I was going anywhere. I said no. The Socialist was working til 9pm, it was not even yet 5pm. We looked over and the sun was almost gone. No less than absolutely breathtaking. The American agreed. I said I should eat, he asked if I wanted to get some food. I said ok. And we walked. And laughed. And ate. And drank. I saw him again the next night. My final day. He is coming to Glasgow the weekend after this one, and I can't wait. Its time to go back to college now. xxx The American, before we met. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-5/1183408/TheAmerican.jpg The view http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-5/1183408/GoingHome.jpg +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Dear Sinister, Hello! Salut! Hola! Olá! Konichi wa! I've been on the list for quite a while, but I'm more a listener than a speaker. But the day is inspiring and I was here at work reading the lasts sinisteers post and I felt like writing a bit. By the way, I shall introduce myself. I'm Marcelo, and I live in the incredibly hot city of Rio de Janeiro. I turned 23 last december and I've been listening to B&S for about 4 or 5 years. So, I wasn't aware of B&S existance when they came to Brazil for their concerts here... :( My hope is that they come back here soon for a nice gig. Well, I guess that's enought for now. I'm pleased to meet you all. peace, Marcelo. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: albert finney in nottingham
by David Giordanella 06 Feb '07

long live the sinister list... indeed... back from the cinema: one of paris's many charms is to display a wonderfully wide scope of films from silent ones to the newest releases & film-makers' seasons & three cinémathèques... THREE! there's even the "rue champollion" in the latin quarter in paris which offers three art-house cinema theatres... jean eustache's rare "numéro zéro" moved me so much, his most famous film "the mother & the whore" (1973) i cknow of the dialogues by heart, un immense chef d'oeuvre! go & have a stare, pleaaaaase! thank you for the chorus lines... i'm so conditioned that whenever i'm told about nottingham i think of shirley ann field & albert finney in karel reisz' "saturday night & sunday morning"... your city must have changed a lot since then lolllll should i put my b&s button badge upside down so that nobody understands what "sinister" means anymore? take care- david _________________________________________________________________ Découvrez le Blog heroic Fantaisy d'Eragon! http://eragon-heroic-fantasy.spaces.live.com/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

"...the man told me that he used to come across chris quite often on the local train..." That's a song in itself!!! I'll donate the chorus I'm nice like that: I dreamt of pulling out of the station, But train fares they succumb to inflation, My journey plans would have been in vain, My journey plans would have been in vain, If it weren't for the man who came across me quite often on... The traaaaaaaiiiiiiinnnnnn! Vive la Sinister list. Greetings from Nottingham. We don't have picnics here, or bowling, or B&S gigs; for that matter. We do have gun crime though, and more bars and restaurants than any other city centre in Europe, apparently. We are also having Tony Hadley (Spandau Ballet innit) play at the re-opening of the town square. Still, mustn't gruuumble.
