Sinister: I'm a Cuckoo, Get Me Out Of Here!
by robin stout 16 Feb '04

16 Feb '04

Sinister darling, I've been neglecting you. Let me make amends. You see on Halloween I met an old woman in a pointy hat. She stood in front of me in the queue at Tesco, where the conveyor belts are the fastest in the land, and though she only had tins of cat food on the belt they were flying off quicker than she could pack them. So I lent a hand. She said "Thank you young man" and added something about "such good manners" then grabbed the bags and dashed out of the store. I turned back to the landslide of cheese heading down the conveyor towards me and the impatient glare of the checkout assistant. November the 5th, Bonfire Night, and I was back at Tesco again. I'd bought a box of fireworks to throw at the kids next door, and was just parking my trolley when the same old woman strode up to me holding a feather duster. Now, the last time a woman strode up to me holding a feather duster was a time I would sooner forget, and she must have seen me begin to back away, for she held the duster in the air and shouted "Stop!". I tried to run, but my feet were strangely stuck to the floor. "I am a witch!" she announced, somewhat unsurprisingly, "and if it wasn't for your help with the cat food on Halloween, I'd have been late for the Welsh Witches' Coven and Bingo. I'd have missed the speech by the Witch with the Tallest Hat and if I had there'd have been hell to pay. Hell charges a lot these days, you know, so you really saved my bacon. In return, I'm going to bestow on you a wish. Anything you want can come true! How about that, eh?" "Alright then," I said, "just after I've got this chewing gum off my shoes; it's making them all sticky. Bloody townies." There's a snowman who we have on our Christmas tree every year, which is made from cardboard and cotton wool. If you ask my sister who made it she'll say that she did, but she's a stinkin' liar. I made it when I was four and at playschool, and I like to think that its jaunty pipe and devillish grin are signs of the creative genius that was yet to come. Of course, don't tell this to my sister or she'll bang your head on the wood-effect electric fire like she did to me in 1986. It's a tradition that every Christmas day she and I will have an argument about Who Made the Snowman. It wouldn't be such an issue if it wasn't for the fact that the snowman on the tree is the only thing approaching snow that comes anywhere near Kidderminster during Christmastime. A week before Christmas Day, Katta was telling me stories of her snowmobile and delivering papers on crisp white Swedish mornings. I knew now what my first wish was going to be. I fished the witch's calling-card from my wallet and rang the number. "Frobisher's Fancy Dress," she said, "how may I help?" "Wilomena?" I said, "It's Robin. I've decided what my wish is going to be." "Oh, thank goodness it's you," she said, "Some young scallywags have broken in and stolen all our Father Christmas costumes, and I've just been having an awful ear-bending from the head of the local PTA, who was going to be Santa at the Christmas fete. I was going to call up the real Santa to fill in - he's always at a bit of a loose end in the week before the big day - but with manners like that I've got a good mind to go round to the school and kick him right in the grotto." I felt she was getting a little sidetracked. "So, about my wish," I said. "What I really wish is that it would snow this year. That it would snow more than it's ever snowed before." "Snow?" she said, and I'm sure I heard her sniff, "that's a bit unoriginal, isn't it?" But I could already hear the feather duster swishing its magic spell in the air, and with a "Snow it is then!!" the phone went dead. And it snowed. It certainly did. It snowed and snowed and snowed. It didn't stop. It snowed more than I've ever seen before. It snowed all day and all night, but only on one street, my street: the snowiest street in the West Midlands. In the morning I drew back the curtains and everything was white. "Crikey Mum, look at all this snow!" I said, running into the kitchen. Mum didn't seem all that pleased. "Wow!" I said, "Everything's white! It's almost as if the whole house was covered in snow!" My dad came into the room, wearing an Arran sweater and a look of doom. "It *is* covered in snow," he said. "We won't get out of here for weeks!" "Oh well," I said, as my sister came downstairs looking confused, "at least that snowman I made won't be the only one we'll see this year." "That snowman YOU made??!" shouted my sister, picking up a frying pan. It's a wonder what food they can put in tins these days. We wouldn't have survived at all if it wasn't for all the tins my dad had bought in 1999, in case all the computers went barmy on millenium night and tried to take over the world. For Christmas Day we had tinned sprouts, tinned potatoes, tinned turkey and tinned mince pies. You'd hardly know we were buried under a hundred foot of snow. For New Year's Day we had tinned cheese and tinned biscuits. But despite this delicious food we were all glad when the snow finally began to thaw, and we could see the trees and sky again. The phone line had been down the whole time we were under the snow, and the telly hadn't worked either, although Grandad had switched it on every evening and said "It's still snowing!" So I hadn't had a chance to speak to Wilomena the Witch to tell her what had gone wrong. "Well you asked for it!" she said when I finally did. "I tell you what. To make up for the, um, inconvenience, I'll give you another wish. A replacement, if you like, for the one that got broken." "Thanks," I said. "Now be careful what you wish for." "I will," I said, but I already had a good idea. The next day was my birthday, and the week after that the new Belle and Sebastian single, "I'm a Cuckoo" would be out. "A wonderful birthday present," I said, "Would be if I could have the 'I'm a Cuckoo' single on my birthday, before everyone else." "Eh?" she said "I'm sorry, the line's a bit bad" "'I'm a Cuckoo'," I said, "for my birthday." "Well, at least it's original," she said, somewhat dubiously, then hung up. The next morning I awoke with a strange craving for worms. I hopped out of bed and blinked in the mirror. I was four inches high and covered in feathers. I was a cuckoo! You wouldn't believe the trouble I had getting past her fat cat Clarence and convincing Wilomena that I wasn't just any old bird, but Robin J Stout, and I demanded, or rather twittered, to be turned back into a curly-haired young man right away! She finally did, of course, which is how I'm typing here tonight, but it took a while to convince her. So that's why I haven't posted anything for such a long time. I just thought you might like to know. +++++++++++++++++++ Belle and Sebastian were on the radio tonight. I can't have been paying enough attention to the email that Banchory sent, because I was expecting to hear the new single, but instead I heard a whole new song altogether. It was called "Your Secrets", was sung by Stuart, was absolutely delicious and went something like this: Your Secrets ============ Step out of your cradle, it's like coming down I just heard somebody tell me I was introspective to a fault. I'll be a doozer if I can, But I will contented be right now, If I could keep our secrets. You could tell me all your secrets, All you want to do is run and hide. You'll keep it inside. If you tell me all your secrets, All you have to do is let it ride, And keep it inside. But if it's as it seems, and I keep having dreams, About the two of us, Then it's obvious. You should stop treating me like I was just a child. You should stop treating me like was just as wild as you. Instrumental Step out of your cradle, it's like coming down, I just heard somebody tell me I was introspective to a fault. I'll be a doozer if I can, But I will contented be right now, For us to keep our secrets. We could get a little closer, The mystery you're trying to preserve, you're going to need in reserve. We could get a little closer Cos intimacy has a greater charm And it would do no harm, To give a little way, A la la la la la..* You could even bring me your poetry.. If you could stop treating me like I was just a child. Stop treating me like I was just as wild as you. Stop treating me like I was just a child. Just a child.. Just a child.. Just a child.. Just a child.. Just a child... ++++++++++++++++++++ Bye bye, Robin xxx * I couldn't work out this line. It sounded like "A piece of Howard's Way", but that can't possibly be right. _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Sinister: Happy Valentines Day and all that rot
by Lesley Katzen 15 Feb '04

15 Feb '04

Dear Sinister, I actually shouldn't be complaining as a I actually have a person to be my Valentine who is cooking a huge roast from Trader Joe's in the kitchen right now. I know I haven't written much but I was inspired last night after attending The Shins show with the man who is currently making me a roast and my friend Richard. Off topic, I danced a bit too feverishly last night in bad shoes and made an ingrowing toenail much worse to the point where if I touch anything to it the slightest I involuntarily scream. I've begun to having waking nightmare about toenail removal and the aftermath. I digress, I had finally gotten the "Fans Only" DVD and was moved to tears many times in the 2 plus hours, and laughter once when the man (who is making me a roast, still, in the kitchen) says "How is having Trevor Horn producing your latest album not "Londoning Up""? Well well, they did have lovely coverage of bits of the Coachella festival, didn't they? So my friend Richard starts talking about The Cure last night after the show (which he is apt to do, often) and mentioned Coachella, and I brigtened thinking of my American Ailines frequent flyer miles and asked us all to put our hands in to further explore the Coachella options. We've called friends in L.A. who will join (and drive!) and it seems as if we are halfway there, now only until next paycheck do the tickets need to stay available as I am very very broke (and will be again after I purchase a two day pass). It's really lovely because I didn't think I'd get to see Belle and Sebastian again this year and little things like listening and watching footage of the band really remind me of how dear they are to me. Truly my "favorite band of all time, in the whole world" a title which was ironically once bestowed upon The Pixies 12 years ago when I saw them at the Cameo theater in Miami who are now (The Pixies) getting billing over B&S (even if it is on a different day) to which I say bah!, you can't go away for that long and then get 2nd billing at a huge monstrous festival!, but apparently they can. I'm very excited and very hungry, and glad I can share my enthusiasm (and terrible grammar) with the wall of sinisterites out there. Ciao, Lesley __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: A shatterd letter about many things and nothing
by Froggy Frogh 14 Feb '04

14 Feb '04

First of all I have been convinced, you are not 45. You are 35. No really, I just said so to be mean, because nobody older than 25 wants to be older. So this was sort of my unfair revenge. And also, my name is Johan. Look I made it! Me: My name is Johan and Im scared of the internet All: Hi Johan Well not anymore. /I think I need a cup of tea, the world keeps burning/ Its a grey version of Stockholm unfolding for my eyes as the darkness flies from my side of the earth. Well thats really a poetic lie since the sun rises much earlier. Its hard to believe that was this morning (is it meaningful to save anything with only one line in it?). Now the big darkness has won the battle of our side of the world. Or something. Have you ever been though the experience of meeting someone you really get mad about in school of work after school or work or what ever place you see the person, and the person is nice to you, like an ordinary human being. Well my conclusion is that is all about masks. Masks that we wear to fit in. I notice it very clearly, walking home from school after a hard day being angry for some reason, but when I pass a special point its just like some one pressed a switch and I start whistling and smiling at that father with his baby. This is also an example of a chance of masks. From the angry school mask to a happy home one. I do think that everybody have this personality disorder in bigger or lesser form. Another may say its just a way to fit in with peoples moods, but I want to take it longer than that. You see, if I walk by school a Sunday I can get in the same angry mood as usual when I am in school, even when I walk alone (sounds like a song title, I walk alone, and I guess It probably is). And maybe thats the reason for every one in school are so not-nice, because everybody wears their angry mask, and you notice this and get angrier, and so on. But what the hell has this to do with B&S or the list? The latter that is. Because it would not be true if I said that the way I write like the way I am with my friends. It took a while before I posted, or to say so, I had made me a Sinister mask. Well its rather natural, this is not the way I am really; this is they way I am when I write, modified with the Sinister mask. Well, this way of seeing life has a somewhat scary backside. If I always wear a mask, when I am myself? The answer is just as scary. Never. Maybe in thoughts. Do you think the same, no matter with who you are or where you are? Hard. Well, it has another connection to Sinister too. I dont really know you. Even thou I read some of your most intimate thoughts I dont really know you. Its a strange situation, really. Knowing somebody very much but not at all. A well, I think thats enough for today, I will write more tomorrow morning. Oh, I didnt. I dont remember why, just that I did not do it. It has now been like two days and it has been two intensive days. Yesterday I actually went skiing, downhill. Even if I had not fallen and landed on my arm, Id probably been tired and stiff. And I am. I had a math test today. Its not fair really. I get five hours of sleep, ski all day and the next day is a math test. Strangely I think I did fairly well. This week and the next one are going to be hard. Spanish test on Friday and the Friday after is the deadline of another big project and I have not written as much as I would have wanted. And thats why you might be reading this on like Friday. And now I can not write anymore, Im too tired. Ill make it up to you in the weekend. <Later, Saturday, nearly a week later since the first entry> Reading through my post I agreed with myself that I must confess. The whole mask thing was just a sneaky way of presenting one of my own philosophical thoughts. I placed it here on test, since I dont really have a place to put it. So you became the victim of my thoughts. Hope you didnt mind. It took nearly a week to finish this letter. And therefore its a shattered one, without any real point or meaning. By the way, I must thank Astrid for the appreciation of my post. I hope it dont get to my head. Well, I never needed anyone to get around the track, but Oh, sorry. Also, I must confess; I havent bought Tigermilk yet. I plan to do so tomorrow. If youre feeling sinister is now my favourite. But oh, The Boy With The Arab Strap, I could have been a brilliant career the first ten second of it makes me freeze and just melt down, down with all my troubles. By the way, car stereos are not built for playing B&S. In A space boy dream, you heard only the dark drums. I didnt know there where any before I heard it in a car. It took about thirty seconds before I fixed the stereo, and now it sounds at least ok. This week has been the hardest for a long time. I have been unable, because of that stupid school, to post during the week. I plan to make it up during the upcoming vacation, the week after this one coming up. Ah, well, I think its time to finish this letter. If you did not like this, I blame my busy week. I really can do better than this. For the first time Yours Johan ( I have digest, it takes a while before I see your posts. Maby I should change?) _________________________________________________________________ Hitta rätt på nätet med MSN Sök http://search.msn.se/ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: coachella
by Tamra Ann Thomas 12 Feb '04

12 Feb '04

ok, i know that some of you are going to coachella, how could you not with a line up like that? so, i have a question for those who have been before, and or those who are just familiar with the area. 1. is there a hotel anywhere that is not going to cost me thousands of dollars, since all the affordable ones have already been taken? i will have a car, so it doesn't have to be too close, i just don't know the area, so i don't know where to look. 2. are you going? if so, you should email me back. i know that it is in may, so we have a couple of months, but it would be fun to plan a meet up somewhere down there of the list peoples, and i do like to plan things ahead of time... i am currently in denial of what i am about to do...i am not a rich girl, i can't believe that i am going to this, but i missed b&s last time, i can't miss them again, plus i have had a big crush on the pixies ever since, well, ever since i was. i am flying down from seattle to burbank and renting a car to drive there, it really is the best deal i have found, it will cost roughly $175 with gas, not bad. is there anyone else in the vancouver/seattle/portland area going? is there anyone else in the vancouver/seattle/portland area in general? i heard that there was someone else from seattle on this list a long time ago, but maybe they have moved on. blah blah blah, tammy will stop ramble-ing right now. tammy. there is no silver lining on a mushroom cloud-ny times _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: hideous self-promotion and a wee bit of other things.
by a.s.t.r.i.d＠nme.com 11 Feb '04

11 Feb '04

Yo, This will be a short post, because the content is more egocentric that usual, it is, ah!, to promote my band. This is NOT list abuse, oh no. If you think right about now "F**k Astrid's band!" then move down a wee bit or change the mail you're reading. SO. Kit had to go from kit to kat. There was a The Kit. From Sweden. We like Kat too. It was the K and the T that was important. Not that we'll be able to get over how much we loved Kit and how it was probably some horrible crap band that took our name. Argh. Well, ok, they've probably had it for a while. But still. We were so happy... So Kat it is. Our demo called Rollerskating Fool is being recorded, but still only one song finished, we'll probably take the holiday in week 9 to finish it up... Anyways... what I wanted to see was to take a little survey here to see how many people were actually interested in getting one? It would work so that you'd send me an empty CD, I'd burn the demo and put in the sort-of-inlay-card and send it back. i think that's the best way, but if anyone else knows how to do that stuff give us advice! E-mails for us as Kat + interest in demo (I guess): noo_yak(a)rock.com noo yak is the phonetic way for our favourite way of saying new york, buy the way. A bit like Jesse Malin. Other things: -During my time in the computer room, I got sent a Westlife Valentine's card with music blurting out and Shane (apparently) looking at me with dreamy eyes. I was not sure how to react. So I laughed. -Froggy is my new best Swedish sinisteree! Not that I had any before... but still. A very nice young man! -Anders: a letter is on its way. I am horrible. I am sorry. x -I only had class for 50 minutes today, so I've been free to go since 9:30, and yet I am here. I just know that I can't go home yet, I'll be bored before the Days of Our Lives is on. -I went to our city library (or what the hell it's called - public library I guess), the big one in Stockholm yesterday. I'd never been there before, strangely, seeing as I love reading so much, but I went there and thought I had died and come to heaven, it was gorgeous and beautiful, not because of the books or the fact that there were cute student indie boys everywhere, but the architecture! I knew it was beautiful but it was just so stunning! I am smitten. I'm going back today to see what their cd section is like. Valentine's is a-comin'. As ever: I hate Valentine's Day. I hate not getting roses. You can send then anonymously in school, you see. Argh. Oh well. It's just the price you have to pay for being in a small school and being considered a big "weird" and "having my own style" for wearing Chuck Taylor's and home-made t-shirts. Sigh. Will they ever learn? There are tons of us. Take care, and, er, have a nice day Astrid x --------------------------------------------------- Who would you rather be - Ted Danson or Kevin Costner? Fab: Who the fuck is Ted Dancer? Ted Danson. Fab: Oh, Danson. Nick: I think Ted Danson wears a toupee. ______________________________________________________________ For up-to-the-minute music news, reviews and specials visit http://www.nme.com Get free e-mail (anyname(a)nme.com) now at http://www.nmemail.com The sender of this e-mail is NOT an employee or associate of NME, nme.com or any other IPC magazine. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

So which one do you fancy? It was about one week ago, right know. I was just standing, by the wall, because all the sits and space on the couch were taken already. The bar was too crowded and had two bottles in my hands anyway. well one in the pocket of my jacket. I found it odd they were giving you two bottles when you asked for only one, but it was cheaper. apparently. i didn't investigate the matter by any means. Anyway I was there. downstairs, the other room was too crowded and the music were rubbish. I was standing almost in the corner but not quite right in the corner. just trying to avoid the door to slam over my face when another costumer would decide to get there with a little bit too much of an effort. I was just drinking my beer and recovering from the most physical, not to mention, delightful concert I have seen for ages (mclusky, by the way, shall i raccomed them?)... when I've been first asked if I were in franz ferdinand.. gosh, unfortunately not. which i was because they are brilliant, but no, I'm just wearing a corduroy jacket, nothing more, and possibly drinking my two drinks at a time. I found it bizarre, but funny. later one, this other "lady" sort of come over and asked me for substances. Now. I ask. DO I LOOK LIKE A DRUG DEALER? ok, might be a bit dodgy, but what sort of thing do you want? I'm sure that if I'll get the right connections, I might provide what you might need if you fancy making a jump at tigermilking this week end... *I've got an "hidden" list in the signature, let me know what you've picked up* Robster, mentioned picnics... N!I!C!E!. ... keeping the booze under a roof what about some bowling action on saturday afternoon before going dancing for the one who would eventually fancy it? I couldn't possibly ask for more.. but City coming back from 4 nihil against United... that will make the bookie bankrupt and eventually probing me the cash to start my new remunerative business take care love stefano Alprazolam, Bromazepam, Chlordiazepoxide , Clonazepam, Clorazepate , Diazepam, #~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~##~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~##~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~# Waited for an answer But I waited for twenty five years They stopped my bleeding But could never stop all these tears I waited for the day when You came out from beneath all that weight I tried to lift it But it seems I got there too Late #~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~##~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~##~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~# Estazolam, Flurazepam, Halazepam, Ketazolam, Lorazepam , Nitrazepam, Oxazepam, Prazepam, Quazepam, Temazepam, Triazolam +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
