do you like when people post who haven't mailed Sinister in ages? Well now
it it is happening again, for I, the dirty vicar, am subjecting you to
another e-mailed communication.
I'm flying to GERMANY this week. This is very exciting. I'm going to Berlin,
and seeing B&S is on the itinerary. But I'm not totally one of those sad
people who flies to other countries to see the great band of our times...
going to Berlin is something I've been planning to do for ages. I'm looking
forward to seeing the Fernsehturm and to walking down Karl Marx Allee, among
other things. I gather I'm staying near the place that does the world's
greatest felafel, so I should be alright for food.
Are there any Sinister subbers who live in Berlin? If you are such person
and you fancy meeting for a pint send me a mail.
Before I go to BERLIN I am going to two gigs here in Dublin. Tomorrow
KRAFTWERK are gracing us with their presence. I remember liking them a lot
at the Tribal Gathering all nighter I went to, so I am looking forward to
seeing them again. The next day it's the launch party for the first single
by THE CHALETS, who include a former Sinister subber among their number (and
are therefore proven by Marxist science to be Good). The Chalets are on in
the Sugar Club, so I will be able to sit down and guzzle brandy alexanders
while they play. Nice. Maybe you will join me.
big shouts to everyone who everyone who ever mentions me in their mails,
although I think ~Stine should do lose her fetishisation of things Irish.
Mark O must also be mentioned... I have had a mail for him in my drafts
folder advancing VERY SLOWLY to completion ever since last July.
Separately, belated thanks to the people who sent me Christmas Presents. I
have sent a separate thank you mail to the lovely Ms Jenny Payne. But I have
also to thank the person who sent me a lovely home made fox in the snow
t-shirt. Because I am USELESS I have mislaid the piece of paper that told me
who had sent this, which is why I am publicly thanking them on this list.
Perhaps they could make themselves known to me?
Beyond that, it really is bedtime for a tired little vicar like me.
Night night,
DV

*nervously waves her hand, then, becomes self-conscious, drops her hand back down,immediately thereafter calls herself an idiot, forcing her hand back into the air, well after the point where it is socially acceptable, and coming off as overall a bit daft*
Ah, the curses of the socially cumbersome and painfully shy. At least the internet will let me escape my burden! Right? Right??!! ... nope, turns out I'm a dork on the internet too. And not the cool sort of dork, or the kind with the decency to get really into computers or RPGs so they still have something to do on a Saturday night other than make a hideously self-centered introduction to a mailing list that has warned them repeatedly against doing so.
Hmm.... come to think of it, I'm a bald-faced liar with something to do tonight, namely going to watch Blue Velvet at my friend's house. He's sure that it will open my eyes to new worlds or something, but my brother (who has impeccable taste in everything, unfortunately completely opposite of my own, so he feels the need to raise me right.... at least it means that he gives me new CDs at every possible opportunity, and lets me steal his at will) says that it is awful and self-indulgent. We'll see how it goes, my friend has similarly impeccable taste, mirroring my own impeccability this time.
Honestly, I'd rather spend the night lounging in my bedroom, reading and eating chocolate and listening to Jeff Buckley, feeling romantically sorry for myself and my utter loneliness.
I signed up to this list, first and foremost, to whine about what I'm doing this Wednesday, namely, not going to the Belle & Sebastian concert in Munich. I've never seen them live before, as they don't often come to my real home, the windswept, utterly devoid plains of the midwestern United States. So for the last two years (since someone slipped me a burned CD with The State I Am In, If You're Feeling Sinister, and This Is Just A Modern Rock Song on it) I've been listening to their CDs on repeat, obsessively downloading live versions and B-sides, and imagining taking my seat at some rad, unheard of venue, gawking glass eyes at all you cool indie rawk kids, as they take the stage. And I finally get my chance, my heart speeding up already when I see a thread entitled B&S Tour GERMANY!!! as I am scavenging bowlie for new music and books. I click the link, and they'll be in Munich, a scant 4 and a half hour train ride from this year's home away from home in Austria. And (as so!
on as I've regained some dignity and resumed my seat after dancing bout the room like a fool) I'm about to order the almost affordable tickets in my immediate enthusiasm, when my heart splatters against my smelly silver sneakers, realizing I have this bloody ski trip with my school that week. And I can't get out of it. And the evil teachers won't let me off one night, even though I've pressed upon them how incredibly important this is, and I have to spend the week with the annoying, reeking freshman, learning how to ski. I hate skiing.... I hate most things that involve me getting off my lazy ass, but particularly skiing. How do you even spell skiing? It can't have two i s in a row.... So I am damned once again to my pre-recorded hell, except this time haunted by my fleeting, heartlessly dashed hopes, or something like that. Melodrama never suited me. Apathy's my game.
In that spirit, I plan to drown my sorrows in alcohol and music next Wednesday, make a spectacle of myself, and be awoken before I can sleep it off to be put on top of a mountain attached to two waxed shafts which will never be extensions of my feet and fall/crawl my way to the bottom.
My oh my, I am sulky and pathetic this week... you lot should probably ignore this email... I'd hate me.
>Claire, who feels more her bit of angsty teenager today than any other time in her life.... except when she's listening to Bright Eyes.

howdy amigos :)
to explain, it seems deeply pathetic, correction it
definitely is, but somedays wouldn't you just love a
'confirm reading' feature (or one that worked!) for
certain outgoing e-mails...
there are times when you really want to know, did they
get the mail, did it go direct to their spam folder,
have they
not checked their mail in 6 months, have they got a
new account, are they travelling in an internet free
country, have they been selected to live on mars, you
just wanna know if your calls are being screened....
aaarrgghhhh...at least you'd have peace of mind. no
more extravagant excuses for long unanswered subtly
romantic emails, no more 'well, i'll just write
another one in case they didn't get it'...of course
they bloody well got it... we get most of our email,
we read most of our email, we reply to most of our
email, we don't change email address on a whim...
it doesn't get any easier, the curse of electronic
hope. better than no forwarding address? perhaps,
but i'm not entirely sure.
the old monday morning hangover seems to double in
intensity with the hollow ring of the in-box. note to
myself: GET out MORE...problem is I do, hence the
monday hangover reference..mmm, waffle, whatever,
apologies...
however, i am now a tad paranoid about the ongoing
'are you a B&S fan or just publishing your diaries
debate' so definitely need to stop this ramble...(even
though i quite like reading people's diaries myself,
avec eller sans relevancy)...if I were to mention
something sinister I suppose i am a bit concerned
about all my favourite bands are getting famous at
once, B&S in the charts, Snow Patrol in the
charts!...the traditional back catalogue grasping
jealousy is upon me..a familiar tale indeed. but good
luck to them, all rather splendid and v well deserved.
and as Snow Patrol rather nicely put it...
"Just because i'm sorry doesn't mean i didn't enjoy it
a the time..."
ah yes, byeee :)

Subject: Sinister: Songs for the more mature radio listener
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2004 11:31:10 +0000 (GMT)
Bloody hell, me again.
When I posted at the weekend, there was something else
I meant to mention that was actually ON TOPIC and
everything. And I forgot about it. So I'm posting
*again*. So there.
The other week, a text message came in from The
Parents. This is, generally, a Bad Sign. The Parents
aren't very good at sending text messages - they have
trouble seeing which button is which - so normally, a
message from them is Important Serious News.
But anyway. It said: "belle and seb on Radio 2 after
6pm love mum and dad" Wow, I thought. My parents are
texting me just to tell me that B&S are going to be on
the radio.
So, I listened in, and it was interesting. I've not
seen *any* mention of it at all on Sinister, though
(maybe I just haven't been paying attention), which is
why I'm posting about it. It was on the Stuart
Maconie show, with only four of the band there
(Stuart, Stevie, Sarah and Bob). They performed Step
Into My Office, Baby, followed by Get Me Away From
Here, I'm Dying. I was v. pleased about the second,
because a) it's one of my favourite songs b) they
hardly ever play it. I love it so much, I want it
played at my funeral. But anyway.
I was only half-listening to the chatter and spiel,
because I was cooking my tea at the time and wandering
from room to room. One thing, though intrigued me.
Does anyone remember, years and years ago, back in the
80s, there was a very annoying, odd-looking little boy
who would go on chat shows like Wogan and demonstrate
a disgusting depth of knowledge about antiques? He
had a rather bouffant blonde afro, which sticks in my
memory much more than his name does. Since then he
has become a she, and still gets on telly
occasionally, although I still can't remember her
name. Well, anyway, according to Mr Maconie this
woman has been reported as saying that she thinks
there's one B&S song that was written *about her*.
Only, because I wasn't really listening and was trying
to cook my tea, I didn't hear which one it was. Bah.
So. Does anyone, anywhere, have *any* idea what I'm
talking about? Or have I stick wrong end the of got?
Tree wrong up barking? This train stops at all
stations to Upminster, in fact.
taraa sexy,
caitlin

Been a while. I've not been reading very much of it recently, but I
apologize. My nanobot creations took over my brain for a while, but I am
suddenly back in the swing of things. By the way, not enough has been
mentioned about Jonathan Brandis' demise last year. Or maybe it was and I
missed it. It's been a subject of sadness recently, especially as I see
episodes of Seaquest DSV become available for download. By the end of the
second season, that show had jumped over the shark, out of the atmosphere,
and onto an alien planet to help fight a civil war. Then Michael Ironside
came on and it was 2032. If your main guy won't be in Megiddo, then you're
looking for trouble. They still let it go on for most of the third series.
Yet we must bid goodbye to Angel...bastards.
Caitlin was wanting to know what song they were discussing on the Stuart
Marcone...whatever show on the Beeb2. I think it was Lord Anthony. I only
remember because I remember thinking "hmm...that one's not so good". I
possibly am only jealous because I can't eat Toblerone. Still, he gets
Toblerone on his dress, Phil Lynott gets chocolate stains on his pants...the
connections never cease.
Years ago, I wondered how one could be a "killer for your love"...unless
that person (damon albarn) actually killed people for someone's love.
Didn't strike me as the meaning though. But I'm listening to the Rex now,
and what the hell is a Jeepster anyway?
Back to the radio. I actually listened to that session. It's the first
radio session by the Belle kids I've listened to in...Lord knows how long.
I generally can never be bothered or just foget, but that day I was in a
radio mood. Despite hearing Prefab Sprout's "King of Rock n' Roll", and one
or two other gems, I realized I don't enjoy listening to the radio very
much. It's just not worth the boredom of Dido.
I can no longer call them "the Belles" for short, since there is actually a
band called The Belles. They opened for the Pernice Brothers the other
night, and I missed them. The world's smallest violin...
I'm ill and drinking herbal tea. And I'm fighting with every ounce in my
body the urge to buy more cigarettes. Holding fast...Does anyone know if
you have a very minor cold (slight runny nose, light coughing), are
cigarettes bad for you? Someone say no. Please.
Not much else to say. Which was evident several paragraphs ago.
-Matt

dear Sinisterines:
"I Love My Car" was just used as incidental music on
the Public Radio International program, "Marketplace."
this may not seem like much, but it made me happy.
