Sinister: Dylan in the marketplace
by laurel lemming 10 Apr '04

10 Apr '04

Public Radio International's "Marketplace" used the instrumental break in "Dylan In The Movies" as incidental music this evening, 9 April 2004. Why do I mention this? Because it made me happy. ;] lem __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: i went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
by miss lou 09 Apr '04

09 Apr '04

hello, sinister. i have been wasting time at work, hoping the sound of typing floating from betwixt my cubicle walls will convice the other admins that i am, in fact, still working on creating the most masterful and decidedly toughest project grading scale in the history of the architecture college for the dean's graduate class. in reality, i finished at least twenty minutes ago, at which time i poked about friendster and then decided i might well poke my head out of the old sinister lurkers' den and say hello, how are you, how have you been and how many more of you are there these days. so. there you have it. and because most sinister posts start off socially enough and rapidly decline into self-observation or self-promotion or self-indulgence or what have you, i will follow the traditional grain with a lou-update, for which i am certain most of you have been positively jonesing, slapping the sides of your monitors and laptops and heads and whatnot when you found that, day after wretched day, i had left you in the dark. rest now. relax. settle in. i am here. *** so what does a formerly rabidly sinister girl do when she drops off for a while? well, not only does she leave her fairweather sinis behind, she ditches everyone. i have adopted a bit of a hermit style, really. after changing jobs and running entirely, completely, totally out of money, i borrowed some from my parents, bought a few loaves of bread and some cheese, moved and set up shop once again on my own, but this time with a typewriter. it sounds more romantic that way. the truth is, my typewriter ran out of ribbon a while back, and i've mostly been lazing around watching american idol between jobs and classes and the occasional bar jaunt or show. but. no more! true, i have grown quite tired of the state i am in, that being nebraska. it's funny when you realize, one day, you have grown up enough to know very specifically what you don't want anymore, and why. once this occurs, the next thing you do is begin identifying that which you want, and in doing so, i came up with a few ideas. namely, a new scene, stability and (an old ideal), love. then, i made a graduation plan. and a possible job plan. and then i sent out a resume and cover letter and sat back into my pillows, trying to decide if the american idol pen salesman should get my vote or not. *** then a funnier thing happened. the day after i sent my resume and cover letter, i got a response. a positive one. and in three days i replanned all my plans and admitted to myself that, if all goes well, getting two out of three life desires ain't bad at all. i get: *a new scene (nay, a new state!) *love (the outlook on that is promising) stability will be hard to come by, what with an unpaid internship in san diego, but then, i'll be right there next to the ocean, watching the sunset, wishing i could have gotten there in time to have trucked it to coachella to have seen b&s (<--content). *** so. i am probably going to move to california, then. i have an interview next week, and then i would plant myself there in mid-may. of course, i think i shall meet some other sinisterites there, right? good. and i hope they'll have ideas about where a girl can stay for not much money at all. love and all that, lou. ===== www.somewhereinbetween.net __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: Ridicule is nothing to be scared of!
by Gillian Kirby 07 Apr '04

07 Apr '04

There is Lamchop playing on Radio 2, which makes me feel like emailing people. Last week, I was sat at home feeling glum because I was about to turn 22 and all my friends had gone on hiliday and nothing exciting was happening...then two exciting things happened all at once... 1. I went to see the Station Agent, which is ace, then went for a walk near a primary school where I saw a young boy sat on the edge of the football field wearing a traffic cone on his head...until two bolshie young ladies ran up to him, ripped it off his head and sneered. Our hero promptly picked it up, popped it back on and calmly continued to pretend to be a wizard. But that wasn't the exciting thing (although I also saw a Red Admiral which was pretty cool...) What happened was this..I was feeling nostalgic about college, a time when I felt vaguely clever and had an idea of what to do with my life, and remembered a moment during my final year, in the autumn. A lot of bad things happened then, which I can't be bothered to explain, but suffice to say I was listening to Jeff Buckley a lot and certainly not enough Echo and the Bunnymen. I bumped into a vague person, who I knew from being the only othe r indie person in my school and as far as I knew back then, maybe even the world, but somehow we didn't become friends. Unfortunately, I bumped into him while crying on a bench in the beer gardenn, and he kindly chatted to me for a while, telling me I shouldn't be upset and giving me good advice which I've forgotten now :) as well as slagging off the music industry. So I was vaguely (I'm very vague at the moment)wondering what happened to him, when I opened the local paper and saw an article about a student who was going to Africa for an education mission...and it was the same young man. So I'm thinking about the serendipity and wondering whether to drop him a note thanking him for being so nice on a night he probably doesn't remember... 2. I filled out a job application out of boredom and unemploymentm, anbd they contacted me the next day to go down to London for an interview...not only is this A Sign, but also means I get to go to9 another city for a few days, which is my patented cure for the mean reds...I would've done it months ago had I anyone to visit :) So I shall have to leave behind my Cheers watching, writing my Rubbish Novel and general mooching and go and tell some stranger why I'm so great. Anbd as I haven't been there for a while, I also plan to wear interesting hats and look round art galleries and Foyles. Hurrah! Suddenly, the whole world is opening up like a beautiful vagina.... ...hey, if Woody can say it, so can I. -gillian (www.livejournal.com/users/~mippy) ===== _________________________ 'i have a tendency to say hey do you remember that moment we shared in 1988,that was great, hey! 1988 was great'-milky wimpshake, yeah, it's true ____________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sinister: ich bin das Ampelmannchen
by Dirty Vicar 06 Apr '04

06 Apr '04

Ahoy there mateys! so, eh, yeah, I went to Berlin, the formerly divided city on the Spree, where the DDR had its capital and the Bundesrepublik did not. I was kind of there for the laugh, really, but B&S were playing so I thought I'd go along. I might some B&S fans from the internet, some of whom may have links to this parish, but in the main I think they were *left-footers*. B&S were playing in some place called the Columbiahalle, which is near the Tempelhof airport into which the friendly Americans flew in loads of nosh during the Berlin airlift. These days food is in more plentiful supply in Berlin - you could even buy it in the venue. Winner. Did any of you read that Onion article a while back about how some guy spoiled a gig for everyone by enjoying himself? There were elements of that kind of things at this concert. The Berlin crowd were in general somewhat unappreciative and possessed of a worrying territoriality - I think people there do not go to the bar for drinks and then return to where they were standing, for instance, and going to the toilet and trying to push back up the front is seen as distinctly uncool. Fortunately I played my foreign idiot card and barged past people muttering "Lass mich passieren, ich bin das Schmutzpfarrer!" (German for "Out of my way, nadface"). The band themselves seemed a bit slow to start, maybe because of the overly polite nature of the crowd, but they soon picked up. So did the crowd, who gradually became a bit more up for it. My own boisterousness attracted a few fellow enjoyers to my vicinity, and we bopped away like nobody's business. At one stage some of these fellows even started moshing (to 'Get Me Away >From Here, I'm Dying', I think); that was maybe going a bit too far. A lot of tunes from DCW were aired, reminding me again of how great it is. Near the end of the night they delighted me by going from 'Roy Walker' straight to 'Stay Loose', playing a storming version of this great tune, surely the 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' of our times. The more advanced elements of the crowd were suitably impressed. Rockist B&S fans, meanwhile, were catered for by a number of older tunes. Despite pleas, nothing by Die Puhdys or David Hasselhoff was aired, but they did cover David Bowie's 'Sound & Vision' as their nod to local culture. And they had a local waitress onstage to act out 'Dear Catastrophe Waitress'. If you are interested in that kind of thing, my notes say they played these songs: An Ennio Morricone-esque intro Expectations Step Into My Office Baby Wrapped Up In Books The Model I Fought In A War Beautiful The Loneliness Of A Middle Distance Runner You Don't Send Me Sound & Vision Simple Things The Boy With The Arab Strap Asleep On A Sunbeam Lord Anthony Dear Catastrophe Waitress Dirty Dream # 2 The State I Am In The Wrong Girl Roy Walker Stay Loose Sleep The Clock Around Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying Me & The Major & possibly one more that I forgot to record. That's about all I've got time for now. Maybe another short note from me will discuss my recent trip to Camber Sands for the All Tomorrows Parties festival. bless you all, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: There's paint in my hair!
by Maaike 06 Apr '04

06 Apr '04

Right. Some de-lurking is in order, I guess: Imke, there are at least 3 sinister people in The Netherlands! Me being number 3, of course. So - reporting back. Ok. I went to the Utrecht gig as well, and great it was indeed! About 2 years ago B&S played in Rotterdam, which was terribly good, too, but I liked them even better this time. More relaxed, perhaps, more at ease with the audience and I have to say I didn't really miss Isobel. They had brought some (3?) extra musicians as well, which was nice, who played cello and violin and did backing vocals. And now the good news for y'all: the whole thing has been put on-line! Yay!! You can find it at: http://3voor12.vpro.nl/3voor12/archief/index.jsp?showme=concerts (the link is somewhere in the top right corner). Don't really remember the setlist either, but now you can check it out for yourselves :-) I especially loved Sleep the clock around, which was the last song they played. I also missed the afterparty, as I had to catch the last train home. After that came 5 days of moving/redecorating stress... but that's another story... :-) Maaike +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: reporting back from the most fantastic show I've ever seen
by Imke Wiggerts 06 Apr '04

06 Apr '04

Dear Sinisters! Wow... Thats all I could say yesterday after the last song... I just didn't knew what to say! (and thats quite strange for me...) It was really really great! Stuart was terrific, Sarah too and the rest, wow! this was my forst show live and I didn't knew they were so good. In the train back we tried to remember all the songs they play but well... I always forget the titles, ecerything fades away and theres just me and the band... so I'll try to remember but... Mark- maybe you can help? here's a list of what I remember.. - I'm a cuckoo - step into my office (wow!) - if you find yourself caught in love(jeeej!) - baby girl - you don't send me - stay loose - dirty dream part 2 - asleep on a sunbeam well... It was just great. I don't know how to discribe it... they even got 5 fans on stage to play with them. I was standing front (only one guy for me..) but when they asked for some volunteers I was just so shy... oh and they did good vibrations from the beach boys! how good is that?! the audience was great. everyone was quite with the slow songs and just started dancing with the fast ones. well.. did I allready mentioned that it was fantastic? Too bad we didn't made it to the afterparty, we had to take the train. (mark, how was it??) (I finally met an other sinister, there are only two of us in holland...) and worst of all, I had an exam this morning... :S but that doesnt matter because... ...I think I'm in love... with belle & sebastian. thank you guys (and girls ;)) you are great!! with a lot of love, imke enjoy the sun that shines right upon your face! *:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_, *:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_,.-:*'``'*:-.,_, +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Percentage-wise at least. It was so much fun - haha there was even two girls LEZZING UP action in the toilet on the train down (although probably that's not a first for sinister picnics, mind, hahaha). Plus there was the aforementioned RECREATION OF THE FA CUP SEMI-FINAL AND PREDICTION OF THE FA CUP FINAL RESULTS through the medium of AIR HOCKEY!

This picnic also might win for the VARIETY of drinks consumed, yeah lager bitter guinness baileys tequila whiskey and pimms had all been consumed!! After the picnic some of the WIMPY ONES went to sleep early, in either London or Brighton. Whereas the HARD CORE ones went back to London for DANCING, and the REALLY HARD CORE ones caught the LAST TRAIN just in time back to London for DANCING after stupid amounts of Tequila.

Sinister: Pic-er-nicking
by Sam Walton 05 Apr '04

05 Apr '04

Hello Sinister. <<de-lurk>> Well I was thinking about pic-er-nics, and about York, and then Tripney beat me to it - it was a fine idea, young fellow/fellowess (who are you, btw? Reveal yourself!). SO! I propose a Sinister Northern Picnic, York being the ideal spot to hold such an event. And, even though I've been a lurker even within the York Sinister Massiv of late (for which I sincerely apologise), I'll be your mummy, if you like that kinda thing. Here's the plan. Feel free to tell me to change date/time etc - I'm a suggestible character. WHERE: outside the front of the Minster, York (then moving onto Museum Gardens). I reckon this is good because it's easy for non-Uni people to get to (hint: non/ex-York people very much welcome), and is in the close proximity of Nice Pubs in case it rains. WHEN: 2pm, Saturday 24th April (or Saturday wk 1 for the Uni contingent) ME: tall, lanky, glasses, a feast of delights inside my bag. Mobile 07793711306 YOU: laden with boooooze and other picnic accessories, wearing upside-down badge for ID purposes. Sound like a sound plan? Let me know. I can't really think of much to report on really. I guess we all run out of things to say eventually. I went to see Lambchop on Saturday night. They were rather gorgeous. Support was in the form of Camera Obscura, who were pretty good. Not as good as the 'chop though, for sure. I take it that a small section of this listen would have heard the last ever Mark & Lard on Friday? Belle & Sebastian were on it, singing a pastiche of Seymour Stein. I went Mark and Lard Oh how we'll miss you On Radio 1 You say you've got a promotion Our thoughts are far away We remembered the day You first played our tune And now we are minted Mark and Lard (repeat to fade) It warmed my heart, because M&L was the first place I heard B&S. The final show was generally a sad event though - I might have cried if I wasn't a) apparently incapable of doing so (nothing seems to make me cry, even when I want to, rather annoyingly) b) laughing incontrollably for the most part. Inspired by Vilkas' post, I listened to Beck's Midnite Vultures yesterday, and I was forced to conclude that it is one of my favourite records of all time. And that thought inspired me to make a list of all the records I own that would warrant five stars in the fictitious Asm Magazine. Unsurprisingly, I came up with about 80 of the little blighters. After much pointless pontificating, I managed to narrow it down to about 20, but realised what an inconsequential task I'd set myself so I gave up. Still, 20 is fair enough though, doncha think? Anyway, let me know about the picnic. love Asm.x <<re-lurk>> ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with cool emoticons - download MSN Messenger today! http://www.msn.co.uk/messenger +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
