Sinister: Write About Now, The Funk Soul Brother
by Sam Walton 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hello Sinister Wow. Big Stu was here. Like, only last week. What a treat, dear Sinister, what a treat. I was glad to hear from him, but was saddened to read about his malfunctioning heart. I hope his new heart serves him better, when it arrives. I only met him a couple of times at Sinister picnics (and was probably far more aware of him, due to his height, than he was of me, regardless of mine) but still, memories are memories, aren't they. Anyway, enough nostalgia - it will get us nowhere but the past. In current news of B&S, I must admit my excitement for the new album is still to fully blossom, although I'm enjoying the trickle of public performances/promotion in which the band are indulging, and I've already preordered my vinyl. One piece of said promotion surfaced last night, when (as keen followers stateside* may have noticed) the band appeared on Jimmy Fallon's show**. I found out about this, and watched the performances, via Pitchfork, and you can too, by clicking on this: http://pitchfork.com/news/40235-watch-belle-and-sebastian-perform-on-jimmy-… They performed Write About Love, surrounded by Bowlie kids wearing thick black specs and taking notes (presumably "writing about love", gedditt!!??!), accompanied on drums by ?uestlove from The Roots, whom, I discover, are Fallon's house band. He was filling in for (rather than augmenting) Richard - one can only conclude he had a more pressing engagement in New York City on Wednesday night. I enjoyed their performance, although wasn't, I should confess, overwhelmed by the song. Hopefully it's a grower. I missed Richard and his ludicrous gurns, although ?uestlove deputised very competently. Beans had a natty little keyboard solo too, which he performed while his left hand was placed safely on his lap, almost as if showing off. This pleased me too. Oh, and Struan removed his specs half way through the song, which was bound to make someone swoon, somewhere, even now. Anyway, as an "exclusive bonus" for the Fallon show's website, the group also performed Piazza, New York Catcher, adding drums, bass and electric guitar to the version of the song we all know. The live incarnation took the song away from its familiar Simon & Garfunkel feel and more towards Folsom Prison Blues, which was to its detriment, in my opinion. Still, interesting for the fan, no doubt. And with that burst of content, I think I will disappear off into the night, once more. I love you, Sinister, I've a drowning grip on your adoring face. Sam.x *do people still say that? **I must ask, perhaps to the US contingent: is this Fallon chap cool? He doesn't seem to have the presence of people like Letterman or Leno; he seems a bit too eager to please. ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The best all round
by Ev 25 Sep '10

25 Sep '10

Wow! Sinister has gone full circle... You all used to be pissy school kids living off Lambrini, crisps and snarlies. Now you're all piss-ridden pensioners wearing retro Jimmy Saville tracksuits and pushing tartan shopping trollies, full of rotting vegetables and converted by your grandchildren from sadly neglected dogs on wheels. After Uni your careers promised so much but you still ended up working in HMV in some backwater, because you weren't quite cool enough to get a job in the second-hand vinyl shop. Spongebob Squarepants The Movie and High School Musical 128(bpm) have long-since been remade and Bollywood are working on a 75th anniversary 4-D remake of Dirty Dancing but you'll never get to see it on your £25 a week state pension, you can't even afford the deposit on the glasses. Top of the download long-player charts is The Back Sides, a collection of all the previously unreleased material from those members of 90's pop gods Belle and Sebastian who left to pursue marginally more boring and unsuccessful careers. Rumour has it, the remaining 73 members of the band are working on some new material that we can expect to be released some time in the next 8 years... ...or so it seems. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: for fans only
by Nick Cubley 25 Sep '10

25 Sep '10

For Fans Only requires your thoughts on the words and music of Glasgow’s popular music band, Belle and Sebastian. The idea is simple: we need to hear how individual songs have affected you, inspired you, frustrated you, delighted you. What do Stuart’s lyrics mean to you? How did you discover this most inspirational of bands? What do the songs mean to you? What we’re really interested in is the personal reaction, the unique experiences that these beautiful songs have soundtracked over the past 15 years. What we hope to do is to allow the responses to trickle in over the next few months, collate them and publish them, with all of you being able to tell your own individual stories about the songs. Ideally we would like to publish them in a physical format, but that really depends on you and the quality of your responses. They can be anonymous if you so wish, but what finer way to get your name in print than with a celebration of Glasgow’s finest? If you’re a storyteller, you might think you’re without responsibility, but you owe it to yourself.

Sinister: Write about hate
by Stuart Gardiner 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Still here then are we? Seems like there's been a veritable explosion of Sinister recently. Which may be why I now have Ken splattered all over my keyboard. So, there's this new album coming out then. I've not seen any reviews yet. I thought it would be better to just listen to it myself rather than having a pre-judgment thrust upon me. The three songs I have heard (the two on that website film thingie, and the single that's been played on Radcliffe & Maconie) have left me distinctly whelmed so far, I'll admit. But maybe that's a good thing - the best music always grows on you (like a mold, but the good kind of mold that makes cheese tasty, not the bad kind of mold that makes your sandals smell). And it's certainly a brave move of them to return from a four year absence with a concept album devoted to the psychedelic stylings of Arthur Lee. As others have similarly opined, I have mixed feelings about the band's re-emergence from hibernation. Yes, I'd love to hear some more stuff that's as good as LLPJ or the last album. But at the same time, B&S will always be intimately associated with a certain time of my life. A lot has happened since then, and it's a comforting form of nostalgia that reminds me of the days before I moved from England to Oregon. Not that the new life is bad - I still love Portland to bits, I've got a house and a new fiancee, I like my job and pretty much everything about my life (although I could do without the heart transplant *). As much as I enjoyed the old days of traipsing around the country to see shows, with happy memories of Manchester Town Hall at Christmas, the Royal Albert Hall picnic and the Fans Only DVD shoot, things inevitably move on and that's no bad thing. But there's a reason nostalgia is so popular. Still, I'll get the album when it comes out, and inevitably listen to it repeatedly until the hidden gems therein reveal themselves. And yes, I am looking forward to their show here next month (and desperately hoping it's not while I'm in hospital). After all these years, I can forgive B&S practically anything. Even being good again. Big Stu * Um, yeah, I'm not joking about that bit by the way. After five hospital stays over the last four years, I'm currently on the waiting list to receive a heart transplant. It might not happen until next year. Or the phone might ring before I finish this email and I'll jump in a cab to the hospital (**). Que sera sera and all that. ** If you're reading this email, that probably means that it didn't. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I want the world to stop... Hammertime!
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.nhs.uk 21 Sep '10

21 Sep '10

Hello Kiddos, Lots of things B+S related happened since I last wrote. First, more marvelling in the multi-medianess of the band: In the NEWS section of the B+S Website, there is now Track Listings and the mp3 of the Title Track. Pretty sure before the album comes out we'd have heard all of the tracks already. And since the Track Listings are up it'd be rude not to do the "predict the content of song" game. 1. I Didn't See It Coming A song about the next song, from the sister's perspective (she had her eyes closed) 2. Come On Sister Incest 3. Calculating Bimbo Teaching a girl how to use Microsoft Excel 4. I Want The World To Stop A Tribute to MC Hammer - sounds like Knives Out by Radiohead 5. Little Lou, Ugly Jack, Prophet John A song about Lindsey Baker 6. Write About Love Story of an up and coming musically journalist's struggle to interview the Beach Boys 7. I'm Not Living In The Real World a lament of the time Stuart moved to Crouch End, London 8. Ghost of Rockschool Dude from Kiss dies 9. Read The Blessed Pages Stuart's frustration as hit-count of his blog reached all time low 10. I Can See Your Future Some hippy shit 11. Sunday's Pretty Icons Buying new apps on iPhone in bed on a hungover morning. In my post before my last post: "So P F and Sam Walton had a debate about what "Funny Little Frog" meant. I never actually knew what the actual line with "funny little frog" was, I kept hearing "You're the funny little frog I'm Eboue", and thought it was something political about Ivory Coast and France." Well, I wasn't sure, but now I know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VHo1Twwer4 Always ahead of his time, that Sturan. Is anyone seeing B&S ON TOUR? I would like to but I live in a remote town called London and there's no gigs within 100 miles from here :( Can't wait for BOWLIE WEEKENDER 2 though! It's only in December...

Sinister: Show at Williamsburg Waterfront

Hello Sinister. I am going to see "the band" at the show at the Williamsburg Waterfront on September 30. I also have an extra ticket that I will not be using. If you would like to use it, please let me know and we can work out the particulars. Other than that, hope you're all well. xx Eric -- "Why are the machines so sad?" +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: e-e didn't see it cummings
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.nhs.uk 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

Well hello there! There's a whole load of CONTENT happening on this post! I have watched the video on the Belle and Sebastian website. It's cool! I like that the band are so multi-media these days, a franchise of talents that extends beyond the bands with video producers, photographers and performers. Funny Sam Walton mentioned the lyrical contents, because upon my first listen, the first song sounded as though it could well have been a Radiohead song, like in "Kid A" or "Amnesiac" or soemthing. And when I first heard Kid A was when I stopped really thinking about the lyrics for Radiohead songs, so who knows. Will there be songs with lyrics cut up and drawn from a hat? Who's a plonker who's a plonker - will there be an "Idioteque" in there? Or has "Electronic Renaissance" already covered that? Always ahead of his time, that Sturan. I liked the second song, is that a Sarah written song? I didn't see it coming. I thought the girl who looked slightly confused/bored sitting next to all the people who asked the questions during the interview was really cute. Not much more thoughts about the video except I liked the bits with Dougie Anderson wandering around looking emo. Also liked that his was "Mr Cockfoster" in the video. Did any of you guys watch "Mastermind" this week? BELLE AND SEBASTIAN was one contestant's favourite subject! She stormed heroically through 18 out of 19 questions on B+S which set up for a thrilling finale. You can still see it on iPlayer here for the next few days (until next Friday I think) - test your own B+S knowledge! (I was shit) http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mk1s The last question was about BOWLIE WEEKENDER! Are you coming to BOWLIE WEEKENDER 2? I am, it's gonna be pretty sweet. Are you coming? Holla! I'm going to set up a poker game utilising Belle and Sebastian cards, maybe (although actually those cards are pretty rubbish for actually playing card games) Has Sam Walton been marrying people all the time these past two summers? Are you now a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

Sinister: Video diversions
by Sam Walton 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

Hello Sinister Last week, Ken and the Pinefox both noted a list revival, and in doing so revived it once again. I wonder, how many meta-revivals need to occur before the list is breathing normally again? I'm unsure. I write in response to Ken's question in his most recent post, "is the new album going to be any good then", not to offer any critical gems myself, but to alert those curious about such matters to a new half-hour long video that's just appeared on the front page of the B&S website. I've just watched it, and enjoyed it. The style and content moves around quite a bit: a spoof of low-budget 60s music television, in which the band, artfully arranged and lit, and surrounded by fans, mime valiently along to two new numbers ("I Want The World To Stop" and "I Didn't See It Coming"); a pair of borderline-funny Breakfast Club spoofs (in one of which Bob does a swear and reminds everybody that he's Irish); a rather earnest Q&A with fans; a kind of "workshop" session where lots of music people discuss how they can make a career out of creating things for which the general public seem disinclined to pay. There's also a nice section with Mick Cooke, explaining about the orchestral arrangements on the new record and how he writes them, which is most diverting, not least because of Mr Cooke's terrific monobrow. I really enjoyed both the new songs, which might go some way to answering Ken's original question. They were both immaculately and imaginatively produced, with some lovely harmonies and guitar and keyboard figures. I must admit though that I didn't care much for the lyrics - rhyming "transcontinental" with "car rental" is more the domain of Tom Lehrer songs, in my book. Still, B&S haven't really been a "lyrics" band for me for several albums now, so I have learned to embrace their newfound love of high production to compensate for their loss of interest (or maybe inspiration?) in writing thoughtful lyrics. Only two more observations about the video: Struan was wearing a wedding ring. This didn't surprise me - after all, people get married all the time, something of which I have been only too aware these past two summers - but I did wonder what it might be like being married to him. The other observation was that one Bobby Gillespie was credited as a Production Assistant; I do hope this is the same Bobby Gillespie that once played drums with the Jesus & Mary Chain, and that now fronts Primal Scream. I'm sure the Bobby in question would offer a lot of production assistance. So. Enjoy the video, if you watch it - let me (us) know what you think.
