Sinister: Bongs for Children

Hello all, I went to see Jarvis Cocker's thing the other night, he was singing disney songs with his mates. It was awesome, Nick Cave was there and everything! The only bad thing was that I heard Pete Doherty sing Chim Chim Cheree, and thought it was really good, and now I want to hurt myself. It's brilliant. I'm all about going to places, this summer, it's going to be the summer of festivally fun, I think. Tomorrow I'm off to Glastonbury! I wasn't sure that I wanted to see anybody apart from Chumbawamba, but actually, I want to see more than just that! E.g. They're showing Ghost Busters in the cinema field on Thursday night. It'll be brilliant. And then, after the Red Bull Dozers played an unbelievable gig at the Brixton Windmill last Sunday (which was out of this world), they're playing AGAIN on July 15th, at the Enterprise at Chalk Farm. I'm so going to see them. It'll be brilliant. All these, before Sinister 10th Birthday Picnic!! I hope to see some sinister offsprings there. It's going to be the brilliantest summer ever. Yours Brilliantly Ken P.S.: I haven't heard from "Faith" from myspace lately, I hope she's okay. Perhaps she's gone to facebook. I've pretty much abandoned all of the internet except for facebook. Except you, sinister, cos I like you x +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The only living indie boy in West Africa...
by Jim Muir Slideshow 24 Jul '07

24 Jul '07

Afternoon all. Long time listener, first time caller to the show I know this is a bit of a curveball but I don't suppose there's any sinister-listers in Ghana at the current time? I've been here for the last four months doing the naive westerner thing- trying to save the world by working as a volunteer. (Alas the Ghanaians all seem pretty cool and still don't know its Christmas time, despite my best efforts). I have to confess I'm finding the pace of life wee bit slow and there's only so much hi-life one can take. (The I-pod randomly spat out the whole of the 'Queen is dead' last night which sounded like a wonderfully exotic transmission beamed in from space). Anyway, it'd be nice to hear from anyone who happened to be within a couple of hundred miles of Accra or indeed anyone else who wishes to discuss the next creative direction Belle and Sebastian should take. Anyone for a socca/ high-life fusion? After all who would have expected the last two albums MOR inspired moves to go down so well? Be seeing you Jim Muir x The Jim Muir Slideshow-turning the sigh of despair into relief. http://www.jimmuirslideshow.com http://www.bowmanscapsule.co.uk Management by Paul Devaney 07976290660 paul(a)judest.com ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sinister: Green Man + Sinister 10th bday picnic + stuff
by jim taylor 22 Jul '07

22 Jul '07

Dear selected members of the world. Assuming travel to Wales is NOT as complicated as it was yesterday (the UK is soggy to the point of saturation in some locations, international chums), I'll be at Green Man festy again Robin, so soggy (or not) GM picnic ahoy! any other takers? Word is Ian Annsummers may be - nay - *is* tempted, so just needs a bit more of a tickle to get him out of Brum (or a free ticket I imagine would do it). But I'm more interested in Robin's co-op vouchers. Is this a tesco clubcard thing or did they do something naughty + beg your forgiveness? Speaking os which do I need to ask for yours / is it sacrilege to suggest B&S's "The Monkey's are Breaking Out of the Zoo" (as approved of by my 3yr old niece in Tokyo) is their best song in many years. By a mile. Have I said that before? Some members of the Parish haven't even turned to that page in the Hymnbook yet. tut tut. ONLY £5.99 delivered. for charidee. Come On! http://www.play.com/Music/CD/4-/1871177/Colours-Are-Brighter/Product.html / www.coloursarebrighter.com/ I wore my bowlie t-shirt today to the aftermath (in Wales) of Gareth the former Slot Jockey hero (of mine) / friend's wedding. Old gits amongst us will remember Sinsterines pretending to be the band Slot Jockey (as per the "pasty-faced vegan geeks... and we LOST!" - NME April 2000 comment) in a 5-a-side competition at ATP and doing rather well. I was lucky enough to encounter friendly Belgian chaps 'Das Pop' do a gig/karaoke backing as part of the do last night, they seemed rather lively + talented. Have they hit anybody elses radar? I plan to get another old B&S t-shirt out of the mothballs on 25th August 2007. Quite soon. allegedly http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=2555826720 will tell you something about the ?evening proceedings but since that would involved me registering for yet something else to see it, I don't know what it'll tell you. What I do know is that we have been previously told and should not forget: >> >> Saturday 25th August >> GRATE BIG BIRTHDAY PICNIC >> Primrose Hill >> That London >> >> Followed by dancing all night at Tigerw@nking: THE RETURN, And that Carsmile Steve will soo tell us more. This text does *not* refer to our cuddly CSS at the last Birthday pic-nic: "It was an unrivalled force of destruction capable of inspiring sheer terror in the hearts of the stoic. It was a sinister picnic crasher hell-bent on havoc. It was a vicious villain who seemed to take pleasure in inflicting injury on the innocent." to save you the bother of reading on at http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,208026,00.html (forgive me indymedia) it continues "It was a squirrel. And it was one bad rodent..." (I haven't read on, so not recommending clicky clicky) Right. see you thens. without squirrrels.

Sinister: DJ Rico
by goyracer 21 Jul '07

I noticed in the local free paper that "DJ Rico of Belle and Sebastian" (Richard) is spinning on 8-18 in the Phoenix area. Yeah, I'll post again when I have something to say. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Luggage? GPS? Comic books?

Sinister: Fairly generic indie rubbish
by Robin Stout 13 Jul '07

13 Jul '07

Who is Ian Moore? I think that Funny Little Frog song is actually quite pleasant, even RATHER GOOD, and I think these Belle and Sebastian kids will go far. Not altogether sure about that Belle, though. I hear she "kicks with the other foot". Other generic indie rubbish I have been listening to, well, am listening to RIGHT NOW, is God Save The Clientele. It's splendid. I am sitting here listening to The Clientele, wearing a vest, drinking port and watching rain flood down the window. Rock and roll, guys, it's Friday night! I began wearing a vest in order to look more like Brian Harvey from East 17. I hoped it might help me to bust some moves. It did not. However, I have become strangely enamoured of the old vest, and have taken to wearing it about the house. It is particularly good on nights like this, when it's wet and cold. Helps the port to warm the chest. The new boss visited today. He said he'd brought the rain with him from Manchester. We were too wet to laugh. He held out his hands, like a Jesus waiting for his cross, and told us of our higher purpose on this Earth. The glorious path of a Brown government. It was alright, I guess, but with my choking collar and the sharp plastic chair, I was just dying to get out of there for some tea. More tea for the civil servants, that's how we can make this nation great again. My spellchecker tells me that "indie" doesn't exist. Lindie does, Cindie and Andie, it says, but not indie. But I read about indie in the paper last week, so I think the spellchecker's wrong. Apparently it's something we used to listen to in the eighties. All I ever used to listen to in the eighties was Cliff Richard and DLT. If the rain starts forming holes that are large enough for me to fit through without getting soaked, I might pop down the Co-Op and spend my vouchers. I came home yesterday to find them on my doorstep, with a green sheet of A4 paper with writing in blue stuck to the cover. My downstairs neighbour had accidentally opened my post and had written a page of apology and explanation. "It came a while ago", she writes. "If it has caused you any problems (eg. vouchers have expired) please let me know." She must know how I get if my vouchers expire. I am looking forward to the INTERNATIONAL SINISTER TENTH BIRTHDAY PICNIC, but have a nagging suspicion that I have something on that weekend already.. I shall cancel it! The weekend before is the Green Man Festival, up in the Brecon Beacons, with Stephen Duffy and the Lilac Time playing, among others. We had a little Sinister meetup there last year (and, I suppose, *technically* a picnic, given that the plates were plastic) and if any of you types are heading up there this year let me know. If you're not going, then you should! There is barn dancing, and lots of cheese on toast. And Duffy, and cider, and a big pond. I know it sounds too bloody good to be true, but I'm telling you, it's the truth.

Sinister: oh how the time goes
by Ian Moore 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

I was in a pub today, and I heard some music, which sounded like some fairly generic indie rubbish. Then I realised it was 'Funny Little Frog' by Belle & Sebastian. I was listening to the Velvet Underground today, and was reminded of what one of our late fellow list member Amykins once said about how unwise it is to sing along to the Velvets while listening to them on headphones, especially at work, lest people think you are some kind of drug addled lunatic. great days.
