Sinister: From Gary
by Mark Casarotto 11 Nov '03

11 Nov '03

This email isn't from me; I'm forwarding it to the list at the request of ex-sinisterine Gary Maher. Enjoy. I did. _______________________________________________ The Dynamics of the Extra Belle & Sebastian Ticket - NYC 10 Nov 2003 It's always interesting when you show up with an extra ticket for a concert, but the dynamics of an extra ticket for a Belle & Sebastian concert have the potential to create even more interest. Of course, I was disappointed when my wife decided her cold was so severe as to preclude her attendance. It was ok, I told her, because we have tickets for the following night's show, and because I was sure I could find something to do with her ticket. So I set off for the wilds of New York City with my extra 10th row ticket. My plan to arrive early to dispose of the ticket quickly evaporated (as all my plans to arrive early seem to do), and I walked up to the front of the Town Hall theater at precisely 8:00 p.m. I briefly canvassed the scene: There was no line at the ticket window, but the show was not sold out. It appeared that I was the only one who had come there alone everyone else was in groups of two or four or eight or more. Worse, everybody seemed to already have a ticket! My only option seemed to be to station myself outside the box office and wait for the right person to come along. At about that time, the first disturbing thought of the night entered my head: Just who was the right person I was waiting for? I mean of course what TYPE of person was it? Obviously someone alone without a ticket, or possibly someone without a ticket accompanied by friends with tickets. But beyond that, who? Perhaps a tall, shapely woman with model looks? Too obvious. Plus, I'm very happily married, so whatever would I do with one of those? (She didn't come around, anyway. Probably better that way.) How about a short, shy, homely thing who was almost too afraid to venture out of the house but was propelled to the show by her obsession with Stuart (or was it Sarah)? Shouldn't be any shortage of those at a B&S show, right? (Just teasing; you are all beautiful and I love each and every one of you. XO.) I dunno, I just didn't feel that charitable. I mean, this person was going to be sitting next to me, and I kinda wanted someone I could relate to a little bit. I was there alone, after all. A guy, then? But what if he assumes that I am as shallow as the next person (I'm actually as shallow as the guy standing behind the next person, over his left shoulder, with his internet browser permanently tuned to ratemyface.com) and decides that I'm only giving him the ticket because I find him attractive. Otherwise, why wouldn't I give the ticket to the tall, shapely woman with model looks? (He obviously doesn't realize that she has other plans tonight.) If he's gay (unlikely at a B&S show, he snarled sarcastically), that could make things uncomfortable. (Remember, he's sitting right next to me all night.) If he's straight, and he thinks I'm interested in him, it could be even worse! (We straight people are so closedminded!) OK then, it's going to be a girl somewhere between model gorgeous and butt ugly. That narrows the field. It's 8:05. I can hear through the doors that the opening act, My Favorite, is playing. I really wanted to catch their set, but I have this ticket to deal with. So I wait. There's a girl approaching alone oh wait, there's her girlfriend. What about that one? Oh, she's with two guys. They all have tickets anyway. Isn't this thing sold out yet? I check at the window. They still have 10 tickets. Sigh. I make a mental note to remember not to give the ticket to anybody without first making sure that they are a fan and not a ticket scalper. I have wasted extra tickets before by giving them to someone I thought would use them, only to find somebody different sitting next to me once I got inside who undoubtedly paid $100 apiece for them. But how am I to make this crucial assessment? Should I ask her to name a member of the band? Too hard, I think. Are any of their names even on the first three records? Better make it a song title. Ask her favorite, that'll do. 8:10 and I strike up a conversation with this girl who is wandering around in front, thinking she might need a ticket. Turns out she also has an extra ticket, which she is trying to sell. I tell her I was going to give mine away rather than sell it, because my sister's friends were tackled by the police outside a U2 show at Madison Square Garden because the cops thought they were selling their own tickets, and they missed the show because they spent the night at the police station. (True story, although I've often wondered if they actually had some contraband in their possession and told the ticket story to avoid parental wrath.) I briefly consider asking her to sell both of her tickets, split the money with me and come sit with me in the 10th row, but how can I ask her to do that after the story I just told? We exchange good luck wishes and go our separate ways. At about 8:15, disturbing thought number two occurs to me. In a flash of evil brilliance, I come up with the deranged scheme of finding a couple without tickets and offering them my ticket, but only if the girl will ditch the guy and sit next to me. Kind of like that movie Indecent Proposal, only without Demi Moore and all the money. I laugh at my own diabolicalness and dismiss the idea as impractical. How would I enforce it? What if she engaged in the selfless act of turning the ticket over to her guy? Then I've got this guy sitting next to me after I tried to entice his girl away from him. Awkward, and potentially painful! 8:20, still tickets left at the box office. I'm obviously going to miss most of the My Favorite set. I briefly consider giving the ticket to a scalper just so I can get it over with and go inside, but I can't bring myself to do it because it will mean that some fan will have to pay some outrageous price for the ticket. I shouldn't let my laziness cause such an inequitable result. Maybe I should just give up and walk inside with the extra ticket, putting it to death. It would be nice to have someplace to put my coat. Aargh I can't do that either! I derive all of my power tonight from this little scrap of paper in my pocket and I can't murder it! At about 8:25, I return to the box office to see if the show is sold out. They are down to the last couple of tickets. In a bold move, a scalper is actually in the box office trying to peddle a couple of $25 tickets for $50 each. I'm standing next to him listening to him make his pitch to these two girls. They hesitate, so he turns to me and asks if I need a ticket. I tell him he doesn't want me to answer that right now. He asks why not, and I tell him he'll have to trust me. He persists, so I tell him in a loud voice "Because I have an extra ticket I'm trying to give away for nothing!" A girl on the other side of the box office hears this and comes over. She appears perfect for the ticket female, unaccompanied, and somewhere between model gorgeous and butt ugly, more towards the former end of the spectrum. "Are you serious," she asks. "Sure. Do you need a ticket?" "Yeah, I came down without one hoping I could get in," she replies. "OK, here you go." I hand her the ticket. "Really?" she asks. "Yes," I say. "Enjoy the show!" And then I remember my litmus test: I forgot to ask her her favorite B&S song. So I literally grab the ticket back from her hand and say, "Wait a second. What's your favorite Belle & Sebastian song?" By now, we've drawn a little crowd, and they are now oohing and laughing over my question. The girl stammers for a good while and I start to fear maybe I have the wrong person. She finally manages to blurt out "The Boy with the Arab Strap". Relieved, I stick the ticket back in her hand and say "Have fun." As I'm walking out triumphantly, she tracks me down, introduces herself (Michelle), asks my name, and thanks me profusely. Which triggers disturbing thought number three: What strange sort of relationship have I just created? Does she think I now expect something of her, having bestowed this gift upon her? And do I indeed expect something of her? OK, I'm going to have to watch that, as we are going to be sitting together, and be careful not to send the wrong message. We enter the theater together and she heads off to the restroom. I grab the new My Favorite CD and find my seat. I catch their last two songs, which are very good. They're somewhere near the intersection of Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen and The Smiths, with a pretty girl singer. (There's much more to them than that, but that's what I heard in those two songs. I told you I was shallow.) At the intermission, I pick up a few B&S stickers and check out the old theater, legendary for its jazz shows, many of which have been released on record. I make my way back to my seat. Michelle is nowhere to be seen. Perhaps she thinks I expect something of her and is uncomfortable sitting next to me. That would be a shame. A little while later, this guy comes up to me and says he thinks I'm sitting in his seat. I look at his ticket and tell him he's in the same seat, but in the next section. A minute later, Michelle appears. She was in the other guy's seat by mistake! I tell her she could have named any B&S song and she would have gotten the ticket. We talk about how we don't know the names of songs anymore the way we used to when we were younger and had time to read all of the liner notes. We speak briefly about our appreciation for B&S. She was introduced to them not too long ago by someone at work. I've been into them since 1998 and missed them the first three times since then that they came to NYC, so I'm seeing them three times this year. I start to tell her about the Brooklyn show, and the lights go down. This show was even better than Brooklyn, which I didn't think was possible. The new stuff is just incredible live, the vocals are breathtaking. There were plenty of oldies for us old people. Stuart brought this wonderful girl Debbie up from the crowd to sing. She chose Lazy Line Painter Jane, and she was so amazing that she brought the house down. She also cajoled us into rising from our seats and dancing for the first time all night. We were all so very proud of her, even though we didn't know her, because she was up there for all of us. (If they pick me tomorrow night, I will make them sing Little Red Book the Love arrangement. And I have to remember to tell my wife Dana "Happy Anniversary" from the stage, as November 11th is the 9th anniversary of our wedding.) About an hour and a quarter into the show, Michelle's cell phone rang, and she said she had to go because she "got a call". She again thanked me profusely. We hadn't chatted much, probably due to our mutual concern over sending the wrong message, but she definitely seemed to enjoy the show, thankfully, so it seems the dynamics of the extra Belle & Sebastian ticket all worked together in perfect harmony to bring about a happy ending for all concerned. If this were a hollywood movie, the final song tonight would have been The Boy with the Arab Strap. (Remember that was Michelle's favorite song.) Instead, it was Get Me Away, I'm Dying my favorite B&S song. Karma? You decide. Gary ------------------ Here's what they played tonight, 10 Nov 2003 (NOT IN ORDER EXCEPT AS NOTED): 1.

Sinister: Fwee Wodewick!
by Mark Casarotto 10 Nov '03

10 Nov '03

Hey. I wanted to write, creatively, tonight, but as per usual I was champing at the bit but unable to put anything worthwhile on paper. My main problem is that I have no idea what to write about. I even bought books to inspire me, but paradoxically I'm almost afraid to read them. So I'm writing to you instead. The main reason I'm writing is to PLEAD with any of you who haven't already signed the "release Rhoda!" petition (pipe down at the back, whoever just shouted "welease Whoda!"). It can be found at http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?Rhoda&1 and it would be SO cool if you could add your name to it. If you know "Rhoda", then you'll know that it's a) achingly beautiful and b) unavailable in anything but the *worst* quality bootleg. And I think this should change. At worst, you'll get another B&S release, which can't be bad, huh? So please go and sign it. It's be nice to have a few more signatures before actually presenting it to the band. There are 1300 people here, and more on Bowlie. Spread the gospel and then at least we can say we've tried.

Sinister: Dialing up a catastrophe...
by Jaye Conner 10 Nov '03

10 Nov '03

Hello Sinisteria, I know that we're beyond the reviews of DCW but felt obligated to pass on this one from the student newspaper here. I have not heard the new disc in its' entirety, however, I like what I've heard, and must include that the student-run radio station is excellent... quite possibly my reason for staying in this town. So, read on if you feel compelled. I have left in the writer's name for those of you feeling sinister... Dialing up a catastrophe when nobody's at home By Richard Shirk - The Daily Iowan Singing about being bundled in sweaters and taking walks in the rain seemed to be a formula that worked for twee-poppers Belle & Sebastian. Now, with a new long-player - Dear Catastrophe Waitress (Rough Trade) - the Glasgow septet has swept out almost everything that made its pastiche-heavy music so precious. The charming infusion of '60s folk-pop with indie affability has been phased out this time around and replaced with a frustrating batch of songs embracing the most schlocky, chauvinistic, and forgettable elements of late-60s West Coast pop and mid-70s pub-rock. And if there is one thing that Belle & Sebastian could be counted on for, it was to be not chauvinistic. Led by Stuart Murdoch through a variety of lineup permutations, the band's first four proper albums saw a songwriting perspective often dealing in the same fatalism that made a band such as the Smiths so great. Combined with an androgynous Nico-esque voice and a band mystique centered on drinking tea, reading books, and talking Tolkien with pals in the park, Belle & Sebastian was the perfect picture of an innocent, nonthreatening pop-band. A lesson in complete negation, Catastrophe is a radical departure that the band can hardly recover from. Slathered with cheesy horn arrangements, bad wah-wah guitars, and a new side of Murdoch as a songwriter, the album is constructed entirely from the worst elements of classic-rock radio. A trudge through the album becomes almost impossible once Murdoch - previously content being a foppy bookworm in his songwriting - begins to wheel out thinly veiled sexual innuendoes in the album opener, "Step Into My Office, Baby." An otherwise unassuming song, the Led Zeppelin-isms are abundant as Murdoch fantasizes about being a suit-bound office overseer in a position to pressure newly employed women into sex. Hardly the sensitivity found on Tigermilk or If You're Feeling Sinister. The rest of the album may not be all downhill, but after a tacky song that simultaneously cribs AC/DC lyrics while rockin' some Lovin' Spoonful riffs, it's only the first in a series of monumental mistakes. While the title track could easily fit onto any of the band's previous albums, it is still marred by the same hammy arrangements that also ruin such tracks as "If She Wants Me," "If You Find Yourself Caught In Love," and "I'm a Cuckoo." While "Roy Walker" sounds like it could easily be a cast-off from CCR or Buffalo Springfield, "Stay Loose" is a spot-on Squeeze song - which is not exactly terrible, but definitely not something that was new or bold even in 1982. And even at the best of moments, Belle & Sebastian sounds like a band covering itself. "Wrapped Up In Books" is pretty much the same song as the title track of Boy With The Arab Strap, and "Asleep on a Sunbeam," although coy and boring, is only on par with some of the low-points of the band's best albums. But to the band's credit, at least Catastrophe is a distinguished accomplishment. After all, who could have predicted a band as previously interesting and enjoyable as Belle & Sebastian could find so many imaginative ways to be extraordinarily terrible?

Sinister: a blow to the chest, like a boy you liked suddenly entering the room (Toronto)
by Genevieve Wesley 10 Nov '03

10 Nov '03

Reporting Back Took the Greyhound bus to Toronto with Sheila. Looking forward to the show and a trip to the big city but we both have essays due. So, balancing binders and Yeats and Paradise Lost, hard to concentrate. Pass through a cute little town named Tweed. When we arrive in Toronto, the first image that greets us is rather ominous one involving a dead pigeon. I guess you can never lose that country-bumpkin face, no matter where you move to, weird man sits next to me and makes creepy commentary about the pigeons, "There are probably more pigeons than people in Toronto." But anyways, the show. It was very good. We were in the first level, so it was nice for a change to overlook the whole scene. There seems to be more of a budget for the light show. The dreamy green ones are nice but the blinking white ones remind me of Science class and the magnesium experiment. Vincent Massey hall is very fancy. The ushers show you to your seat and everything. Stevie said it was a very "grand" audience. Struan talked about imagining a soul dance hall, Northern Soul style, and did we know what Northern Soul is? A couple of handclaps. They do a good version of I Want You Back. Struan invites people to sing the spoken-bit in Dirty Dream #2. Richard in lumberjack shirt. Struan in a black and white striped t-shirt. Mick in Led Zeppelin t-shirt. And did I see on here, a few posts back, Mick is now a father? Congratulations! Wasn't it only yesterday he was Scotland's Most Eligible Bachelor? In the middle of their set, Struan says this is the time they take a break from their own songs. Any requests for a choon? "Give us a choon" is such a nice expression. Struan asks, so then can anyone play? A woman says yes, she can. When they ask what her request says, she says her own song. Struan says she is a brave girl. So they play her song. Struan says all the world's a stage, eh Bob?Silence. "I guess you didn't get the Rush reference?" At the end Struan doesn't like the gap between front row and stage and invites everyone forward, they all dance. Oh, and during one song Struan invited a boy on stage to dance, he was rather slim like Struan and they both danced in that same style, elbows bent, legs apart, big steps and little jumps. Toronto 8 November 2003 Instrumental Expectations Step Into My Office, Baby Wrapped Up In Books Seeing Other People Dirty Dream #2 You Don't Send Me Travelling Light I Want You Back Lord Anthony The Loneliness of a Middle Distance Runner (attempt at Rhoda) Stars of Track and Field If She Wants Me Photo Jenny Piazza, New York Catcher There's Too Much Love Roy Walker Stay Loose You're Just A Baby (encore) Sleep the Clock Around I didn't know the new album that well going into the show, but I had a bit of a Legal Man feeling, different opinion after seeing certain songs live. I was happy they played You're Just a Baby, that's one of my favourite of the older songs and I have good memories attached to it. So, my favourite bits from the show, concerning the new songs: In the middle of Step Into My Office, very beautiful and dreamy ("laid down with a sigh") If She Wants Me, around the "if I could do just one perfect thing" bit. Like how Struan's voice sounds on the verge of breaking, "And it was Huh-ard" Roy Walker...lovely singing & harmonizing, Stevie asks for finger-snapping audience participation (replacement for flamenco style handclaps?) You Don't Send me and Stay Loose, both how they begin...the lights compliment the feeling and Struan's dancing and pose. There's nothing, there's nothing! The guitar in Stay Loose, reminds me slightly of Loneliness of Middle Distance Runner. Makes me feel a bit funny inside, like I am 14 years old and listening to Belle and Sebastian on my walkman during gym class wishing I had a boyfriend who plays guitar. _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=dept/bcomm&pgmarket=en-ca&RU=http%3a%2f%2fjoin.ms… +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

This is very strange, and now it's really bothering me. I will look around for an mp3 of it and maybe that will be what I'm looking for. Or maybe it's just that I'm gifted and I was actually hearing them perform the song live at a show somewhere far away and romantic.

Sinister: spam spam spam spam
by hannah brown 10 Nov '03

10 Nov '03

Arn't you just sick of it? Lately i have been getting really odd spam from people claiming that they are the prince of Africa and ,for reasons i never both to read, they need to rest 30,000 squid in a forign account and therefore could they please have my FULL ACCOUNT DETAILS. Yeh, sure mate, why don't you borrow my house keys and my weekly F***in earnings as well. I Did a REALLY stupid thing about three weeks ago. I got a "happy text" saying i had won 750 pounds. I thought, " cool, i need some money, and they wouldn't lie would they?", so i rang the number, then the other number, used up 8 pound in credit, sent off the letter with my SPECIAL CODE to freaking Denmark then realised the error of my ways on the way back from the post box. Three weeks have passed and there is no sign of my "special 750 pound prize". Should i be surprised...................... Ken mentioned Fanny Pack, a horribly named fash band with a song title called "camel toe". I read an article that a camel toe is a reference to a lady who wears rather tight jeans or leggings and creates the look of a camel toe around her personal area, thus explaining the reference to "lips"- if you catch my drift. Talking of bands, one of my college bands called The Ludes are getting quite stupidly famous. They are going to be signed to EMI and have done some sessions on radio 1, how odd. They are very flipping good though. They used to play in our student bar and do general rock n roll things like having many attractive (although unintelligent) girlfriends and shouting alot. They are doing a tour soon, go and see them. I am reading The Wasp Factory at the moment and although it is interesting it is depressing me and i feel once i have read it i will want something a little lighter on the eye, so if anyone has any book reccomendations please let me know. You all helped me a while ago and some of the things you recommended were very good. right i'm off, going back to the spam thing, visit spam.com, your know, the meat product version, well you will not believe how many novelty spam items you can buy. pens, earings, suits, ties, notebooks, socks................. hannahb _________________________________________________________________ On the move?

Hi. Hey I haven't posted to the sinister list in, oh I don't know, maybe two years? The reason I'm writing is because I know Lord Anthony is availabe in at least two places, the second being the latest album, Dear Catastrophe Waitress, and the first being... I'm not sure. A friend has borrowed some of my singles and older album's and he says Lord Anthony is not on any of them, and I've also looked online with no luck. Someone listed it as being on Dog on Wheels but I didn't find it there. I'm sure someone will know the answer here.

Sinister: doh! scratch the interview for this week
by Brandt Fundak 09 Nov '03

09 Nov '03

hello again. due to circumstances beyond my control (mainly, the fact that the board in our production studio doesn't work right) i've had to postpone broadcast of my interview with Mick Cook until next week. i'd love to play to raw, unedited interview, but Mick swore a bit and i did something that would get me in trouble with the FCC if i aired it. sorry for the inconvenience. brandt ===== "America, great place, but run by a load of tossers." --Stuart Murdoch __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
