Sinister: don't leave the light that never goes out on baby
by Kenneth P Y Chu 18 May '04

18 May '04

Hey there sinisters, How are you all? I see you guys have been busy! With all of your travellings to tibet and nepal and planning trips to england and sheffield picnics and things! Me? I travelled all the way to Highbury Fields the other day, from Holloway Road, it was like 2 miles from my house dude. It wasn't very important that i tell you these, but I tell you anyways. I got very drunk that night and then I had to walk through the park, and i was falling asleep and so I put on my iPod and listened to IYFS all the way home, and I even sang Like Dylan In The Movies out loud when I was walking through the park. And some guy heard me singing it and BEAT THE SHIT out of me! It fucking hurt. So please stuart next time when you give warnings about not looking back when walking to the park, please also included warnings about singing along to the song that is warning about me walking through a park? On your own, if they follow you don't look back like dylan in the movies on your own, if they follow you by the way if you sing along to this then you are through! oooooopps too late sorry ken chu. (notice the amazing rhyming there - i was listening to The Streets just earlier and I think I've caught the rhyme) In other news, the beepy bits of the start of "I'm a cuckoo" was featured briefly on "changing rooms" of BBC1. Nice.

Sinister: Tibet, London, Glasto, Nick Drake & Elliott Smith Tributes, love and B&S.
by jim taylor 16 May '04

16 May '04

Ok so I've bitten my hands long enough. I've decided to respond to big stu's Tibet/china thing. Last night at Carsmiles 30th (props to the London massive who showed there faces, simply too many for me to start to mention without missing some out) someone mentioned it, and I couldn't help chuck in my twopenneth. I said to others I greatly respected Stu's braveness to stand against the tide/go against the grain. I wish more of us would do this. But strongly disagreed with stuff the Chinese Government want us to believe. I perhaps shouldn't have been surprised at how strongly others I spoke to also disagreed with Big Stu. It's really odd to be reeling (well, hopefully creatively responding rather than reacting) against - i my opinion - indoctrination form a Government other than the US or UK. But first off Happy 30th Birthday + Wedding Anniversary to Mr+Mrs Carsmile/Steve. welcome to your thirties Steve. It's not so bad see? And only 6 weeks to Glastonbury! It sounds like I might be joined in the Buddhafield tent by a sinister-bod other than the one I bump into at the London Buddhist Centre. That B&S+Buddhism yahoo subgroup really isn't so far away :) I'm not sure there will be sinister-group shamanic journeying at glasto though will there? Check out Dharmarucci if anybody fancies it in the greenfields. For those unhappily without tickets I can only offer my empathy, together with gratitude to Ian Anscombe for the tip that enabled me to get mine. Next year sounds like it'll literally be a lottery. For those with no interest in Glastonbury, you *might* not know what your are missing. And B&S are playing. Talking of favoured artists, a little bird by the name of, well the man himself, tells me that the parish's very own Stefano Santabarbara will be an honoured performing guest at the Nick Drake Tribute event this summer. It's free, and marks the 30th anniversary of Nick's death. 21/8/04 Tanworth-in- Arden, Warwickshire. I know loads of us are big Nick Drake fans, so thought you might like to know this. details so far are at http://www.geocities.com/ndtg2004/index.htm Might I suggest the likes of The Pines, the Foxgloves or our very own Chris Leonard form North of the border might offer their services too, should they be so inclined? Indeed perhaps I might finally get to hear the Red-bull dozers for the first time (if I remember the name right mr Chu?) well anyway. If any of said performers need a nearby place to rest their heads I might be able to help out chez the parents, though I'll be zipping off back down South to see the Pixies at big corporate festival the following day. (any Brixton tix spare anyone?) Also the Elliot Smith London Tribute show is I understand coming along in its planning stages. I'll post whenever there is some concrete news. Some folks are working really hard to make this happen so support when it does (for charidee of course, will be more than essential please!) and if you happen to be in a band called Belle & Sebastian and want to play at it, I'd imagine it'd be worth contacting the organisers through the yahoo group. erm...whose details I can pass on. Tibet. it's off topic? well no actually, for me it's not. I've written and referenced the importance of politics to B&S themselves, their fans/lifestyle, etc etc, I won't reference myself again, but search the archives, read, then e me off list if you disagree. *please*. I'd much rather be challenged that anyone harbour resentment. I'm not going to go over Stu's points one buy one, as I'd spend longer than you or I have doing that. Instead I'll provide this link as a starting place, which it's unlikely you'll choose to click on... http://www.freetibet.org/info/facts/home.html it really is hard to know where to start with stuff Stu said. I'm not in Tibet. He is/was. I suppose I'll have been present at testimonies of torture in Tibet during my Amnesty International Days c1992-1996 at Uni, read a wee bit, been a member of Free Tibet for a year or two and then having been drawn to eastern philosophies, and been involved in Buddhist centres etc for a few years [to the point that when someone asks me if I'm a Buddhist, I finally am answering yes] it's natural I take a bit of an interest. I also believe there are others on-list probably better informed than me. I'll avoid the Tibet/Buddhism history rant as well. I'm not a Tibetan Buddhist (I'm more pic'n'mix FWBO for anybody that cares) but I have friends who are. It is fair to say Tibet compared to Nepal locally, or many many many other states worldwide, might be over-represented in the amount of activism done in its name overseas, BUT it is reasonably unique in it's frequently non-violent (and thus primarily unsuccessful) defence of itself in so many ways. That for me is why others get involved. If only the US & UK answered calls from pressure groups to reward peaceful activism/opposition instead of or in unison with wielding the big stick, they might have got a lot more respect/support for the anti-terror campaign. I won't use the word 'war' in that context. it's too silly. Safe to say I strongly disagree with a significant amount of what Stu says, to the point that I'm genuinely surprised to read some of it. 'Nuff said. As Bucks Fizz didn't say, make your own minds up. For once I have more 'real' content. I've said to a few people how I've come to the conclusion that I've maybe never really forgiven B&S for stopping being B&S circa 1996/1997. I've said to people that the friends I've made through Sinister are even more important to me than the band. Certainly Sinister has probably kept alive an interest in a band that might have otherwise waned at times. Many people have understood this, yet said DCW has swung them back to our heroes, and I think whilst my swingometer took a while to warm up, I'm glad to say I'm more excited to see them than I have been in many many years. The Saturday seems to be the Somerset House gig people I know are going to. (usual apologies for London-centricity). Will be m'ladys first B&S experience which will be exciting for us, as Glasgow is looking increasingly unlikely which grates rather. Rather than being Grate. Free gig. mmmm. It's an odd one, not being able to let go of an era of a band that you loved so much, to the extent you probably don't objectively enjoy newer material as much as you might, as if you'd discovered them around that later time. I guess it is a sign of just *how* much I liked/loved/adored b&s then. this isn't meant to be the indie snobbery I'm sure it reads as. maybe it's me owning that a little bit? I know I've spoken to many current/ex-sinister types who can relate to at least part of what I'm trying to say. I've never felt like wading in to discussion of new material and moaning its not what I want from them, harping on about the moment I heard the state I'm in on Peel's Festive 50, etc etc. I do know what I'm like(!) Maybe part of the resurgence of interest is because I can relate to the opening lines of 'If you find yourself caught in love'. That always makes things interesting doesn't it? I'm actually a bit excited about a release too. An indie funk Bohemian Rhapsody? Next I'll start begging to fill the myriad of gaps in my not owning lots of unreleased stuff. (not very subliminal warning to people that know me). It certainly is a delight to be able to lend the complete works of Belle & Sebastian to a virgin (not virgin radio [I think] ) listener and share in their enthusiasm after early listens to TM & IYFS. I look forward to re/discovering some of the later stuff that I didn't allow myself to get into, quite as much as I might have. Yours unapologetically (for the politics) jim x PS http://www.boycottmadeinchina.org/ I never got let into a premier oils shareholders meeting to kick off about their stuff in Burma (they conveniently didn't process stuff in time) but it is a bit satisfying when activism actually works, and companies like Premier Oils have to listen to shamed major shareholders. I don't do as much as I should these days, stuff like Oxfam + Friends of the Earth's email campaigns are pretty easy ways to email/fax your MP/MEP etc) , but I'm not going to apologise for a considered view that happens to coincide with a 'liberal majority'. PPS I do appreciate the irony of the fact that as 'she' (m'lady) is flying to China as I speak, it's pretty likely I'll be owning a small gift that was indeed made in China soon (!) A bit like my boycott of the Israeli Tivali vegetarian foods, then buying a US made veggie-bacon thing instead! It's not easy is it! http://www.ethicalconsumer.org/boycotts/boycotts_list.htm oh and while your at it http://www.boycottbush.net/consumers.htm I think it's ok to go to the park and kick a ball though. well, maybe that depends where you buy your ball ;) is there anybody else I can upset? probably, I better not go on. I see Michael Moore is battling shareholders of US film companies etc to get a release for his new film. Good-oh! did I just hear a Pinefox rustle in the distance, or was that my imagination? thank you for indulging me. back to the wilderness. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: my voice
by Ruth 16 May '04

16 May '04

yes it true. my patience has finally paid off and ive been given my voice on the mailing list. i nearly didnt find out as well as the email telling me had been sent to the bulk mail folder.... stupid yahoo. just though i'd introduce myself to you all, i dont think that was against any of the rules on the extensive list was it? if it is im very sorry *cowers*. well now... im Ruth and in less than a week now i will finally leave that purgatory named high school, specifically marple hell... sorry hall school near manchester. ill admit to being a little scared but mostly im relieved because even though things have been good for the last year or so the school holds some bad memories for me. i think theres something begining with "e" which im supposed to be doing after i leave as well but i cant quite think what... was it expeditions? or possibly it was examples. what ever it was im sure it wont be too much of a problem although people keep telling me that i should be doing something called "revision". im not entirely sure what they mean. anyway, teenage sarcasm aside i would like to welcome myself to the list just in case noone else does :) the champage is on me and i cant find a cloth to clean it up.... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: fess up!
by marisa stroud 13 May '04

13 May '04

Perhaps I do, in fact, have too much free time, but what did my wandering eye spy in the "I Saw You" section of last week's The List? "I SAW YOU on the Belle & Sebastian cover. Dear, dear, catastrophe waitress get in touch." I accuse you, Goody Sinister! One of you, anyway. Hands? Eh, it made me giggle. And, it would seem, post. Speaking of Belle & Sebastian, I'm very pleased they've announced this concert in the Botanics this June. Firstly, because it's a free B&S concert in the Botanics, and secondly because it helps me figure out when to get my flight home to Canada: ie After The Concert. Still not much more specific than that, tho.

Sinister: London calling Astrid
by Astrid Wiezell 11 May '04

11 May '04

Dearest Sinister, There are certainly shite ways to start a day, although mine is only semi-shite. I had a nice cosy morning with The Boy but knowing we'd be apart for 9 days (which is a lot harder than it sounds, especially when you are all loved up) made it worse. And so, I ended up having five minutes before my bus left to get ready. Me being vain, loved up and known for my lack of prioritising made me be late for school, this important in-class case study but lo, for had i not also forgotten my keys, making it impossible to go and do the case study since notes are required? Oh indeed I had. Right now I am a bit angry, feeling gross because I didn't have time to shower (why not confess it) and because I MISSED OUT ON THE RADIO-AIRED B&S SHOW FROM GOTHENBURG. Sometimes I want to hit myself, hard hard hard with something very sharp. Argh. I'm such a moron. But it WAS worth it in cuddletime though, mm-mm-mm. Also, The Boy has lended me his cassette-porta-thingy, so Kat kan record a lo-fi demo while waiting for the studio to get free. I borrowed a microphone and a wire or cord or whatever the right term is, from the youth club where Kat rehearses. Ah yes, hahah. How much has it costed me? NONE. Sod off, evil system, I can do without you. All by adding the magic word: please. Also, had revelation that Crappy and crappiest might not be words, but instead I should say crap and crappest, someone said crappest on tv yesterday and I felt a bit stupid for maybe using the incorrect form. Josh Ritter also, is coming here soon. E-mailed his manager today, because he told me to do so three weeks before the gig, and it is three weeks before the gig. Hope I can get in! Speaking of Josh Ritter, Chris, where art thou? I miss our e-mails about Damien and stuff. BY THE WAY BRITISH SINIS: I am coming your way. I'll be in London (Sutton) 17 - 21 June, oh yeah baby! Oh wait, how cheesy. Haha. That sounds STUPID. Forget I said it, I just got a pre-shopping spree jitter in my stomach, damn it will be so nice. Just so you know. If there are any sinister arrangements or whatever that weekend, but probably not. I'm going to visit my sister, so I'd just be able to there shortly anyways, since I come there to hang with her. Maybe I should go buy breakfast. I am hungry, and warm and I can't really remember why I started writing this. A shout out to: Nathan Reader (I'm on my third letter now, but they all just become too un-updated before I send them, but I'm working on it so HOLD ON!), Chris as mentioned above, Ian Watson (I am impressed by thou), Ken Chu of course, Hugo JohaN, Vilkas (how did the ladyfest go?) et al. Shit, I love you sinister! Astrid x Ps. STILL: www.katsite.tk Sign - the - guestbook. And thanks Anders, JohaN, Marisa and the mysterious yet intriguing Anonymous American Guy. And Krister! Heja Sverige friskt humör! Good thing you don't know Swedish. I am such a TWIT. ... Oh right, I was supposed to stop writing. Off for breakfast, it is!

Sinister: B&S @ Warfield April 30th
by peter malcolm 07 May '04

07 May '04

It wasn't until we were actually in the car, said goodbye to the babysitter and backing out onto the road that I realized the tickets hadn't arrived. How is it possible that I could have anticipated this for so long, and gotten all excited about all day, but not noticed that the tix were in abeyance? So we had to get to the show in 2 hours, it's a Friday night, it's 45 miles up US101 to San Francisco, we've got half a tank of gas (it's dark, and what are we wearing?). What can a person do in these circumstances except keep driving? I had ordered those tickets in February on the first day they were available, and poxy Ticketmaster had 3 months to get them to me and failed. I think that says something don't you? Anyways our people (me) called their people and got promised a "lost ticket voucher". But it wasn't there. Rather than call back for a "lost lost-ticket-voucher voucher" we prevailed upon the kindly staff of the Warfield to call their magic connections and get us in! Which they did! The Warfield is a sumptuous old palace of a theater in one of San Francisco's tatty downtown districts, not far from many geographical features mentioned in "Piazza, NY Catcher" i.e the Tenderloin, statue of Willie Mays etc. I had never been there before. At the entrance I was patted down by a nice security lady but no WMD were found (as is so often the case). So the show is about to start but it's the support act, a pleasant quartet comprising a leader-guitarister, female Cello and Viola continuo, and additional guitarism by a creature in a red cape who was introduced as "the creamy-soft brick". I think. The band or assemblage may have had a name; if so, it was not vouchsafed to me. At such times one's mind grooves about the auditorium and busies itself with other things, viz., will they play my 3 favorite songs of the moment (Str. Bn. Jean, Dream #2, Marx'n'Engels), why does a big of skittles have to cost six bucks, and, I wonder if anyone here is older than me? Hmmm.. he is... that guy is... those two women are.. that geezer with the white hair... not many really. Is it my fault to have been born too late? What shall I do with this oldiness that has come into my posession? Is it a tragedy? Yes it is, no it isn't. And then all at once just like that the band is on and playing a surfie-style song. And it was good and unbelievable and there was the very Stuart Murdoch of whom we have spoken, and the lovely Sarah, and the lovely everyone else and Bobby who looks just like me from 20 years ago. At the rear of the stage on the left was an area where up to four anonymous string-players did their part, on the right the asymetrically positioned drumkit, in the center on a riser a vast cave of keyboards to be played by a huge cast of characters up to 3 at a time. In front we have the central Stuarting area, with stevie tucked in just behind and to stage-right. Further right we get to Mick's mic with asoorted brass plumbing positioned within handy reach. Further out is the bass playing zone with no mic stand. The entire front of the riser from about the middle out across the drum kit was a row of guitars or guitar-like objects arrayed for easy selection. On the left is the Sarah zone with a chair and bits and pieces. Behind her is another pianoid keyboard with a seat and a mic. The lighting had swirly patterns (one resembling "Creme Saver" hard candy") that twirled and panned around the stage, plus two big yellow square floodlights aimed at the audience for moments of extreme agitation. Here is what I can remember of the set althought the order is probably quite, quite wrong. (the aforementioned surfie number) dog on wheels beautiful step into my office bub dear cat wait if she wants me piazza asleep on a sunbeam i'm a cuckoo you don't send me wrapped up in books scooby driver I fought in a war the model wrong girl seeing other people wandering days are over stay loose the encore (i think) - get me away i'm dying sleep the clock around Also in the middle the band took a wee break and Stevie at center stage bwgan soliciting requests (of a musical nature). Stuart was still bouncing around beside him and engaged in banter with nearby audience segments. It emerged that it was the birthday of some guy (or his disembodied voice anyway, I couldn't see) and his name was Nico. Nico! says stevie, and embarks upon "I'll be your Mirror" to reflect vott you ahh, in case choo donnt knoh - originally sung by the late Nico on the velvets's banana album as you well know. Scooby Driver was lengthened, seemed like an extra verse. At the end of "Step into..." Stuart sang "...since after Carter" instead of "...Thatcher" but no-one really noticed the cunning substitution. Also another cute trick, in "You Don't Send Me" they sang "...there ain't nothin you can do to - (pause) - surprise me", the surprise being the little hiccupy syncopation at that point. Well I liked it. You may notice that none of my 3 wishes showed up in the set :(. I didn't expect to get Marx&Engels but I thought Dirty Dream #2 was at least possible. Oh well. In the live setting the monster arrangements of the DCW songs go over very well especially the big set piece Stay Loose. What a wonderful time we had. And the queues at the parking building by the Sony Metreon were quite short really. I wonder if there was a a party afterwards?

Sinister: Denver, anyone?

06 May '04

Pssst. Hey! You! Yeah... you... the kid in the back.... Are you going to the Denver show? I'm not, but I have two tickets. And the seats aren't too shabby. It's too late to get the tickets in the mail, but I can tell you where the seats are, in case you want to fill them. Let me know. I'll whisper the secret info into your ear. Thanks to Tamra for Reporting Back on Coachella. We could use a little more of it, doncha think? Later.
