---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 17:04:03 +0100 (BST) From: Belle and Sebastian <listmanager(a)belleandsebastian.com> To: "lulou(a)crockery.org" <lulou(a)crockery.org> Subject: Belle & Sebastian News Message - School's Out! A wee treat for the Scotland massive... On Saturday June 12th, in Glasgow's Botanic Gardens, Belle & Sebastian, in association with the West End Festival, will be holding a FREE gig/ mini-festival/ party called "School's Out". We're going to be joined by V-Twin, Camera Obscura, The Trashcan Sinatras, Mother & The Addicts and The James Orr Complex. And maybe more if we can squeeze them in. That'll do for starters though. It's the first time the Botanics has ever hosted a gig and it's going to run from 3pm to 9pm. No tickets, no nothing. Just turn up. There's room for 10,000. We're totally excited, as it's going to be a top day. Those of you of a footballing bent will be pleased to learn you'll only miss Portugal vs Greece and Russia vs Spain, which, frankly, could be worse. The party is going to move on somewhere else after. More details on that as soon as we get it sorted...

Sinister: Always Coming Home
by Liz Daplyn 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Well then, here we are again. I neglect my reporting back duties terribly, but in defence, I do have an extensive programme of procrastination to keep up with. MY LIFE ON BUSES OLYMPIC EVENTS ON CRUTCHES To my shame, I didnt attend the last instance of Tigermilking, but it has been splendiferously described by others including Steady Organiser Stefano and the non-more-Victorian Mr Hester, Esq. Instead, I and the boy Robster were in attendance at a pre-wedding thing (referred to rather inelegantly by the perpetrators as a sten [stag/hen] party) elsewhere in London for two former disciples of this forum, Mr Cabbage and Miss Vicky, who by now are proper married (the event took place in Central Park, New York City, no less) grownups and who can therefore tell how long a piece of string is and advise authoritatively on other such matters. It was very nice indeed, and the whole shebang is a shining example of why Sinister is a Good Thing in many peoples lives. MY LOVED ONES WAIT AS IM ATHLETICALLY LATE Some time ago, the aforementioned R & I tooled up to the appointed pub in Brighton hours after the official meeting time, having missed a nail-biting air hockey tournament on the pier due to having a very tasty lunch with my mum. The rest of the afternoon and evening were very pleasant indeed due to good company and being able to duck out of the not particularly welcoming (but traditionally British seaside) weather into cosy pubs. There was also more air hockey later, so my visceral need to swipe a puck around a table and crow unbecomingly in victory was satisfied. More Brighton later this year hopefully, if Ms Archel feels up to hosting a mini-rabble or two? A couple of weeks after that and now a couple of weeks ago there was a lovely sunny Saturday when a group of people of this parish met up to loaf artistically in Green Park, luckily the day before the London Marathon and so we didnt have to feel guilty about eating pork pies while other slogged around the East End until hungover the following morning. There was a cornucopia of fine comestibles, but Jim Purple Trousers truly takes the gilded biscuit for his coolbag of goodies including actual fruit and lardy profiteroles. I had a scotch egg. I trust that the burgeoning picnic season has been as good to those of you lucky enough to have participated in such an event. THERES USUALLY A LOONY WHO WANT TO TALK TO ME It was nice to see strangers wandering up to be included in the frankly unwise display of manly ball sports that afternoon, but I suppose thats the inclusive camaraderie and loving rivalry of football for you. It was not, however, quite so nice to witness the gents of a nearby group of recreational Italians repeatedly using the same poor tree as a urinal in plain view of all in the park, when there were easily accessible facilities very close indeed in the entrance to the Underground station. Honestly, some people dont know how to behave themselves. They were also practising poi, which as you should probably know is fit only for technogoths and other such shady characters. THE CERTIFIED INSANE THEY ALL SEEM TO KNOW MY NAME There was a gent on my train home last Sunday with one amputated thumb and a lot of issues, who told me he had left a rehab centre earlier in the day, and who was a long way down a bottle of whisky (who knows how many had gone before?) by the time I met him. He was quite nice, although a bit too insistent about kissing my hand when he introduced himself, and his short-term memory was all to hell from the drink. We had a discussion about connections between people and how your confidence diminishes whenever they break. I had to move seats when he started to sway and burp prior to copious vomiting. ALTHOUGH MY EYES SAY PLEASE IGNORE ME! If I was being a really good person Id have stayed with him, but to be honest I get a bit fed up of vaguely lecherous drunk men approaching me in public (although it doesnt happen that often, I seem to get a disproportionate volume of tramp love), even if it is possible to have a perfectly civilised conversation with them. Id rather stick with my friends or people who I know in advance will be interesting and not encroach on my personal space. This doesnt, of course, exclude random fruitful meetings, but one has to be wary of the general public, I find. In contrast, a nice new reason to be anti-antisocial is that Mr BenApps and the lovely Rachel Fruitloop (whose saga of transatlantic love and marriage you may find in the archives if you wish) have relocated back from LA-la land to London. We performed entirely inadequately in a pub music quiz the other week, but this humiliation didnt stop the evening in their company (and that of Ken C and Miss Marianna) being great. As Ferris Bueller would say, I highly recommend it if you get the chance. I LISTEN TO YOUR LIFE STORY I havent made official note before of how much I have been enjoying Amy Skeltons reports from Bangladesh. My dads living there at the moment, and its grand to get another view of the country beamed into my Inbox regularly. You go, girl! Take care and dont let the bed-bugs bite. Love, Liz :x p.s. to conclude my belatedness, Id like to note that the Avalanches remix of Im a Cuckoo is a bit strange, less Thin Lizzy-like than the original, but really enjoyable nevertheless. The choir who become prominent at the end sound very chirpy. ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today!

Sinister: Bank Holiday, Picnics and other social events.
by Stefano [Steady-State] 30 Apr '04

30 Apr '04

Dear Sinister and Sinistrines I went to the Bank this morning. I can tell you, believe me, the bankers take the Bank holiday very seriously, they actually let us wait in the freezing April rain outside the door for more then half an hour out of the door, building up the longest queue ever out of a bank Ive ever seen, and apparently enjoying themselves pretty much for that, which is a good sign of belated cynicisms. Some you should need if the people you were meant to talk to, were, actually on holiday. Bank holiday. Of course. This actually made me realise I havent realised it is actually Bank holiday, and, it is well know, there is no better way to spend them then having a picnic. Indeed, lovely Mrs. Rachel, pardon, doctor Rachel, invited you to meet her, and her (almost as) lovely spaniel Belle, in Glasgow, near Kelivingrove park. SATURDAY 1ST MAY, and meet up at KELVINBRIDGE UNDERGROUND AT 2 PM. [http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200404/msg00044.html] And, as an irrelevant bonus, youll have chances to meet possibly the most beautiful people I have ever met, to lay down, hopefully in the sun, otherwise the pub is also a quite comfy shelter, in one of the most beautiful city in the country, the home of one if not your favourite band, I suppose, since you are on this list, (might be it used to be, alright, Ill admit it myself) and meet the possibly most amusing bunch of sinister and sinistrine around, for the once I met. Can you think at a better plan? Honestly, I cant. So I think that **you** should really really go, if you havent got better plans, like holidays in the Haway, or so, space trips on the Soyutz booked months in advance, marriage, but only if youre marriage, or, perhaps best man, or something similar or if you are planning to go to Ians Yorkshire picnic, which as been rescheduled if Im not wrong, anyway! Well, at least, I think, **you** should. **I**d better stay in the capital. Which is not just turned the corner to Glasgow, but that is, at time, irrelevant, provided you have somewhere to crash, but because I have to redecorate the house. Well, that is not good enough as an excuse. Then lets say that a good friend is moving to the southern seas, and wont possibly see him for ages. And thats, also, the truth. That makes me remember that the first time I saw Glasgow, it was for some kind of similar reason. At ahs been one of the best day in my life. And wasnt expecting it either. Or might be I was. Ive learnt the river which cross is the city is called the Clyde, and that is a good piece of information anyway. For the people who lives in London, we have a very welcome reminder by Mr. Ian Watson : [http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200404/msg00048.html] : about how does it feel to be loved being held south of the river side, and as he is pointing out there is not much actually going on over there for the indiekids(?)/galls(?).. buttonight there is a quite interesting gig at the Coronet, near Elephant and Castle, a location of well deserved fame, featuring the absolutely astonishing The Exoplosion in The Sky. This has been my favourite record this year, and to calla a song first breath after coma is genius. Also to call an album those who tell the truth shall die, those who tell the truth shall live forever is a piece of genius, I think, and is damned true, as well! Papa M. (ex slint tortoise, aerial M, many other and a band I wont name because IS rubbish) is playingand it is a rather nice thing to listen to as well unfortunately there will be a bunch of elctroni! c performance, I say unfortunately because they make me sleep more then Valium does (so I should abuse them without any back-drawn ) but often find disappointingly pseudo-intellectual with total lack of irony and add any other nasty comment youll like better one was the guy from Mogwai with a sticker saying KID 666 on his amplifier: rocknroll well the poster in which they posed as Oasis was quite funny as well kid 606 is playing (eheheh hitting keys on a laptop, to be precise) for the once who like the stuff. I am going, guess Dafyd, on this list and possibly other people, if so, and if youll fancy what about meeting up? {I would say for a drink, but possibly a pint of water would be nice anyway. Can always look like wodka or gin. actually gin and tonic, is the perfect drink for a sunny bank holiday. If the police dont fancy sending you into jail for that!) {please reply of mail} We have a had a quite comfy and familiar Tigermilking night a couple of week ago, this time I have not slacked as much as usual and I have updated some photographs. It was near Easter and Mark Hester came with a chocolate bunny. !N!IC!E! You can actually see them here: http://www.undermybed.org/tigermilking I think is quite a lot for social events, but, if you fancy giving a hand redecorating the house, well, Ill never say no Hope youll all have a fabulous week end You, rather steady stefano #~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~# I know one day I'm evil but i don't know where or when #~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~# TMBG +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: C, C, C, C, C, C, C is...
by Ian Watson 26 Apr '04

26 Apr '04

Hello Sinister! Oh, I never write, I never phone, treat this place like a hotel, only show up when I need me laundry doing, and only then because a twee Bob Hoskins materialised from thin air to say "It's good to Sinister". Talking of which, went to see Mum last night. They were wonderful. There was a bit when they all had tiny handbells and rang them off in a peal of noises while they were playing their other instruments. It was like electronic coming to life! Magnificent. The venue was great too - the Old Vic. Makes you wonder if Kevin Spacey was there, prior to taking his pooch out for another early hours stroll. A twee Bob Hoskins? What a thought. So, yes, inevitably, I just wanted to mention that the next HDIF is this Friday April 30th at the Canterbury Arms in Brixton. Our guest DJ is Amelia Fletcher and she's promised an all girl set. Full details below. Please please please come and support us in our new venue. The two nights we did last year at the Canterbury were fantastic. If you know anyone who lives south of the river and might like HDIF as a night out, please forward this email to them. Thank you! More info at http://www.howdoesitfeel.co.uk x How Does It Feel To Be Loved? Friday April 30th The Canterbury Arms 8 Canterbury Crescent, Brixton, SW9 7QD, 9pm-2am, £3 Guest DJ is Amelia Fletcher (Heavenly/Tender Trap) - playing an all girl set. She promises the following: Girl groups, Blondie, Kenickie, Ladytron, Le Tigre, X Ray Spex, Girls At Our Best, Dressy Bessy, Stereolab, Rondelles, France Gall, April March,Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Even As We Speak, Magnetic Fields, Baby Birkin, Strawberry Switchblade and more Regular playlist: The Smiths * The Supremes * The Go-Betweens * Dusty Springfield * Belle & Sebastian * Tammi Terrell * Aztec Camera * The Ronettes * Orange Juice * Beach Boys * The Temptations * Velvet Underground * Felt * The Shangri-Las * Primal Scream * Otis Redding * The Field Mice * The Stone Roses * Dexys Midnight Runners * The Four Tops * Dolly Parton * The Orchids +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: commuting is overrated surely
by Aurora Borealis 21 Apr '04

21 Apr '04

morning all, fully inspired to write to the list today, i have my office window wide open and am enjoying the fact that me over-riding the central heating system is probably getting on people's nerves...excellent, life's small pleasures. also reassured to read that people in possession of that elusive thing called 'love' still like their inbox to be filled with the chatterings of random strangers (welcome back astrid!)...also jealous to read of glaswegian picnic plans being a wegie myself but one consigned to the wastelands of northern scandinavia...only kidding its actually very nice, especially this time of year, daylight is back in style, hibernation over, mysteriously tanned norwegians flooding the beer gardens...one of lifes BIG mysteries...why do scandinavian people tan so well? answers on a postcard to....blah. i'm just deeply jealous as a genetically cursed scot, but hey, you can't teach sarcasm...worth its weight in gold i'm sure...So anyway, i'm very close to becoming one of those people you read about in the sunday supplements..."joe generic shuns high paid professional career to don backpack and chase vague unformed dream around the planet...says it was the best thing he ever did but he's not so keen now on playing recorder for a living on the royal mile...but still, was the best thing he ever did, no doubt"...anyway, thats gonna be me, for better or worse. it was the perfect day to read the 'friends of heroes' quote on the bottom of rachel's sinister post..so thanks rachel! please drop money in the hat when you walk by next year though...yep, the bearded guy winging about living on the streets and not even getting a tan to show for it...how he used to make a fortune..blah, blah.... On the upside, despite never having had the opportunity to attend a sinister picnic, (did consider an igloo based option some time in january - no more carrying the fridge to the park), i can now just gatecrash a different picnic in a different city in a different country on a different continent every month...and if they don't do sinister picnics in peru then i'll just darn well have one on my own. AND, i'll report back. Ha! take care amigos >insert relevant life re-affirming quote ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sinister: Whales and Picnics
by Rachel 20 Apr '04

20 Apr '04

It had been raining all night and I dreamt that I was on a ship headed for Norway. Waves were crashing all around us and the sky way birght red and green. The ship was going fast becuase it was being chased by a whale who was in bad spirits becuase he beleived we had stolen his glasses . Of course we hadn't but we threw him some grapes to make up for it. That made the whale stop chasing us. When I woke up it was still raining and I thought: "goodness, is has been a long time since I've been to a PICNIC IN GLASGOW" Then i thought: " I know what, perhaps when Grainne comes to visit me on SATURDAY 1ST MAY, we could take Belle my dog to Kelivingrove park and have a picnic there. " Then I had some coffee and some toast and found it was much easier to carry on thinking and I thought: "Hmmm maybe if Grainne, belle and me, all hung around KELVINBRIDGE UNDERGROUND AT 2 PM some other people would join us" Then I realised I had been thinking out loud as Belle interupted me saying: "I can chase some pigeons!" And then she said "well perhaps you should email that nice mailing list we belong to and tell about the idea. Maybe they'll bring food!" So I did. See you soon (hopefully) Rachel PS if you think you like the idea of coming for a picnic with us please don't be shy and email me back so we know whether we should bother hanging around waiting for very long or not. And maybe we can make a more definite plan. ************* If you're any sort of hero, you'll be fighting for what you believe in. You'll get tired, and worn down by the world. There's always somebody to tell you you're wrong....You can't always save the world. But you're a hero, so that won't stop you trying. http://www.friendsoftheheroes.co.uk ***************** +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Pic-er-nicking, THIS SUNDAY!
by Sam Walton 20 Apr '04

20 Apr '04

Hello Sinister. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Well here's the important bit: NORTHERN ENGLAND PICNIC CHANGE OF DATE: It's now on Sunday. Here are the final, confirmed and all-accomodating details of the Northern England picnic: WHERE: outside the front of the Minster, York, North Yorkshire (then moving onto Museum Gardens, about 2 minutes walk away). WHEN: 2pm, Sunday 25th April (Sunday wk 1 for the Uni contingent) ME: tall, lanky, glasses; a feast of delights inside my bag. Mobile 07793711306 YOU: laden with bouze and other picnic accessories; upside-down badge for ID purposes. The grand title of Northern England is designed to attract not just the York Sinister Massive, but also people from surrounding towns, cities and even countries. How far is it from Manchester/Sheffield/Newcastle/Glasgow to York? Not far, that's how far. C'mon! So come on down. It'll be a treat, a real treat. So, see you on Sunday? Grand. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I went to a blues club the other week, appropriately called The Blues Bar, on Kingley St in Soho. It kinda reminded me of YOU - I found it very difficult to believe that I was the only Sinister person to have ever stepped in the joint. It was great though; all scuzzy furniture and fittings, and some old dude growling about how his baby left him and about his toils with his woman. I noticed though that the most fun you can have when watching blues is to look at the drummer just before the end of every 12-bar phrase. They all (in my limited experience) seem to love to pull a face just at that moment when they break away from the rhythm and do some crazy fill. My man at The Blues Bar did a great line in gurning just as he rolled back into the start of a new verse or whatever - it was a joy to behold. Thinking about it, Richard from B&S has the facials of a frustrated blues drummer, I suppose. Anyway, that's all I can really think about at the moment. See YOU on Sunday. love Asm.x ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield _________________________________________________________________ Tired of 56k?
