Sinister: Belle And Sebastian, on the radio
by David Moore 16 Dec '03

16 Dec '03

Hi All, (Sorry to anyone who sees this twice.) On Thursday 18.12.03, 2000 - 2200 GMT, Radio 1's Vic & Gill will be broadcasting the Usher Hall show, see http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/sco...how/index.shtml . You can listen live online, http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1.shtml & then it should be available on the 'Listen Again' section afterwards. Youn waits in vain for Reporting Back on the Chickfactor 'L'Age d'Or du Pop' shows. Maybe its because there was no B&S connection ... except that Stevie Jackson was I believe supposed to make a special guest appearance on the Saturday. Family stuff detained him & by the time he arrived Stephen Duffy, the last act was already on, so no solo performance of 'Chickfactor' or anything else. I enjoyed The Pines & The Clientele of course, The Aluminum Group were entertaining & I missed Tender Trap. The company was excellent on both nights. The fashion show was also entertaining, featuring Sinister's own Juicy Lucy as one of the models in a pink-collared Office Bitch outfit. Sally entered into the spirit of the occasion by wearing gold shoes, gold featured top & carrying a matching gold handbag. Elena was there, with legs! No tears were shed, as far as I am aware. Maybe the technical involvement of checking levels, etc. provides sufficient emotional detachment. Love, David Moore Chelmsford, UK +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: wrapped upside-down in badges
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.org 15 Dec '03

15 Dec '03

IF I TURN MY BADGE UPSIDE DOWN, WILL YOU LOVE ME? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- Imke Wiggerts asked: > Second: how do you regonize a Sinister?? (MAybe a > stupid question but I'll ask it anyway..) It certainly isn't a stupid question but it's a question that's been around for a while - and the answer has been kicking about too. Not the secret handshake, not the drinking pints of beer with only your left hand, not being uncharacteristically promiscuous to the nearest cute chinese boy you can find, the way to identify your fellow sinister person on the street is of course: ****The Upside-Down Badge**** TUDB, shit acryonym, yes, but a winner in identifying your fellow parish patrons. Searching for Upside down or "upside-down" on missprint.org will reveal a few references.. e.g. http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200303/msg00028.html http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200208/msg00153.html http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/199903/msg00238.html TAKE THE SIN-HEADS BOWLING, TAKE THEM BOWLING ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ Sincei it's almost 27th Dec Internation Sinister Bowling Day, I wonder how everyone's bowling plans are going... Wow Joanne Hill is a regular bowler! And she was at the AMF in Nottingham, aw, my favourite bowling alley. I hope it'll play host to an ISBD event, this year, or one day. Nottingham is fantastic, although I'm not sure about the tweeness since it is home to ROCK CITY. And my favourite club dubble-bubble is now defunct. Where do people in Nottingham go for dancing these days? Are there any Nottingham sinisters? ISBD, shit acronym also. but a winner in having fun with your fellow parish patrons. ONE NIGHT, ONE NIGHT IN TRUCK HAVEN, WILL YOU KISS ME ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- Tomorrow I'm going to find out if I can have a career as a class-1 HGV driver. Wish me luck! HGV on the other hand is quite a good acronym, anyway. Keep on trucking keep the balls rolling keep those badges upside down keetc. Ken ********************************************************************** This email is confidential and intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

Sinister: baby, i would like to go out tonight..
by ian 13 Dec '03

13 Dec '03

quick report back: b&s in LONDON= GRATE - as much for the crowd as anything else... struan has the air of a man who knows he can turn up, do ANYTHING and receive an adoring response. for the first half of the gig, he appeared to coast on that. sarah (ooh, she's soooo lovely, in a nonsex way of course, i want to take her home and give her cups of tea), stevie, mick and The Rest all appeared to be trying, but struan looked like he didn't really want to be there. towards the end, though, he seemed to decide that he might as well make an effort. when he did, it was great. stuart murdoch has, apparently, now reached the stage where he can WALK on his fans. at one point he stepped out into the crowd, and people were inviting him to step on them. personally, i would like to think i'd have declined to make the offer. there's only so far that hero worship goes. the people at the front seemed to enjoy it, though. they're getting more RAWK every day, this band. also, i should mention that two of our number SUPPORTED b&s. stefano santabarbara and liz daplyn both put in lovely turns as kylie and deborah harry, respectively. disappointingly, the judges saw fit to award medals to some other shysters who turned up and performed. i think our kidz were ROBBED. chickfactor ball - half-assed report back.... jennifer o'connor played the guitar. it was nice. the pines were very good. there was a jazz-ish band that got on my nerves, and so i went and stood in the back bit and talked to some of YOU LOT. some of you looked very, very glam indeed. i won't mention any names, as i know how shy and retiring you are, but you KNOW WHO YOU ARE.. also, stephen tin tin duffy and the lilac time were supposed to play. actually, it was stephen and one other man. perhaps i read the flyer wrong and he was lilac tim. he didn't look very purple-pink, though. more a faded sort of rose.. there.... youn, i can't follow your lovely post with a better response as i should have left the house. i've got to get to london before the sun goes down. actually, i haven't, it just sounded kind of like a song lyric. i've actually got to get there in normal people's time, rather than ian-time. and i'm leaving the house BECAUSE OF THIS: forgive me, i had meant to put this in the middle of a lovely long e-mail about flying pygmies, dancing girls, scantily-clad boys, beautiful tunes and open-topped cars. instead, i'm just going to do it, and i know its a bit naughty.. come to TIGERMILKING tonight. in LONDON. yes, i know its short notice. yes, i know most of the list doesn't live in london. YES, i know where the summer goes - but i'm not going to tell you. (phew...does that count as b&s content?) you're probably asking...why why why BUT WHY SHOULD I? here are some lovely reasons: its nearly christmas its STEFANO'S BIRTHDAY i have it on good authority that lovely songs by the likes of the aislers set, camera obscura, saint etienne and BELLE AND SEBASTIAN (see, more content) will be played. and there will be lovely dancing, and average beer. i want to SEE YOU, COS I LOVE YOU. well, not all of you. but most of you. oh, some directions would be useful, wouldn't they? look HERE: http://www.undermybed.org/tigermilking/ or come to the betsy trotwood in farringdon TONITE. there will be people in the pub from 7 onwards. actually, there will probably be people in the pub all day, just not people you know. but go, meet them anyway, talk, laugh, enjoy the spontaneity of life, and then leave them when people you actually know arrive. come come come, enjoy, milk, shower, cheer, dance, glut, spit, wank, tit, fuck - no STOPIT, IAN. you're supposed to be NICE these days.. just come and dance, and have a nice time. yeah! yeah! yeah! yeah! yeah! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Sort of reporting back; or, How Belle and Seb Nearly Killed Me
by Joanne Hill 11 Dec '03

11 Dec '03

So this bowling thing sounds cool. Apart from the fact that I go bowling every week, so it's not so much of a novelty for me. But if I knew some sinisterettes round my way I would certainly be up for showing them how it's done. Ahem. I'm exceptionally happy, if it's true, to hear that bowling is now in the Olympics; it was in the Commonwealth Games in 1998 cos it's the national sport in Malaysia, go them. But then it got taken out again, boo to Manchester 2002. We (Warwick Tenpin Team) were in lovely Nottingham last month for the BUSA championships, my team mate got onto the national student squad, she's ace. She's the 7th best girl student bowler in the UK. I came 16th. (Out of 51.) Must do better. So yeah we were in Nottingham. Much twee-er than Coventry, though I wasn't very twee that day, wearing my bowling kit. We are hoping to get American style shirts soon, which will be nice. I liked Nottingham so much I went back twice, to the lovely Selectadisc and Fopp. Then last week I ventured even further north to my town of birth, Sheffield, for a special gig. But you've heard all about that off other people. I drove there, drank some coke while the others had beer, and then danced, stood in front of my seat, all thru the gig. Isn't Bobby the cutest! At Offbeat's after show party Stuart nearly bumped into me as he went charging past, but I managed to jump out the way. Stupid me. Could've ended up in a heap on the floor with him. Damn. But he signed my ticket anyway, and tried to talk to me, which is more than I can say for Stevie - I tried to talk to him and he wasn't interested. Hmph. Then I stood around encouraging a Bowlie friend to go talk to him abot the Rolling Stones, he wouldn't get up the courage. But he did in the end. On the drive back it was really foggy. I had hoped to get home in an hour (it took two hours going) cos at 2-3am there's no traffic, but not being able to see 20 metres ahead is quite a hindrance to going 80 miles an hour. So I slowed down, and passed lorry after lorry, and some crazy guy who kept over taking me and then slowing down, and swerving around in his lane, I don't know what his problem was, bloody road rage in the middle of the night! We had exhausted my tapes so one of the guys put in a tape of acoustic songs, really lovely versions of Delgados songs, and some Bright Eyes and stuff like that. Fantastic. Driving along the empty M1, feeling a bit tired but nervous of the weather conditions, all foggy AND raining, wondering when the hell we'd reach the M69 junction, the three lads all asleep, I passed a sign for Alton Towers...now I thought we'd already passed that...maybe, in this terrible weather, we've already died, I thought, and are destined to travel this dark road forever; but if we get to listen to amazing music like this all the way, that'd be fine. Then the fog cleared, I realised Alton Towers is much further south than I had thought, and later the sign for Coventry popped up, and we were ok. Still alive. A friend of mine went to the Norwich gig and he was wearing the same t shirt as Stuart, apparently the white Fred Perry shirt he always wears. But when I asked this friend if he bought the shirt *because* Stuart has it, he didn't reply. I'm not sure if he reads Sinister or not, so he may come and defend himself, but in the meantime I shall speculate. love, Joanne _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail messages direct to your mobile phone http://www.msn.co.uk/msnmobile +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
