Sinister: hopelessly influenced by...
by elle 22 Oct '03

22 Oct '03

i'm dead good at composing emails to sinister whilst i'm stuck in traffic jams on the m25 so why is it so difficult once i actually get the computer turned on? is it the prospect of a real audience? is it the fact that in black and white my thoughts show their real useless worth? is it...? in my thoughts i can always compose a beautifully balanced three-part argument. so, it's been a long time and in that time i've aquired my two cats (called bella and honey until i discovered they are actually boys. still called bella and honey until i discovered it really doesn't suit them. then renamed ben and sebastian as by then i'd run out of ideas. now just called vicious warrior and fat cat as those names just sum them up without any need for imagination). they are lovely and currently asleep on my lap (ben/vicious) and by the computer (sebastian/fatty). they would send purrs if they could be bothered to wake up. the new album. well, i tried and i tried and i tried to love it. the major set-back happened when my mum called round: "that sounds like Cliff Richard", she said. i pressed that little button with the square symbol. so now i listen and i think of cliff richard. and 10cc and godley and cream (sp?), and the human league and the beach boys. i'm not saying it's wrong for the album to have echoes of these bands but it's just not what i was wanting for this album. anyway, when does influence become 'nicking a toon'? having said that, i've found myself waking up with a song from dickywank in my head. not always what you want, but that's life. but, i do have to admit, to growing into it. is this a good thing? will it change me into a nicer person? will it make me listen to and understand different music and people? will it help me meet a boy? will i get a snog? well, there you go. the big questions in life are raised by one little album. maybe it's not so bad. actually, i think the major problem is c4 and bbc2. i think so many B&S tracks are used as backing music for TV programmes (and almost for films) that these tracks sound like fantastic soundtracks for films that have yet to be made. maybe our boy is writing for a film that's in his head? or just for c4 output for 2004. i'm not complaining that you can't turn on British TV without hearing a B&S song in the background (teachers, wife swap, rolf's art programme... do i watch too much crap?)it's just that i'd prefer the songs not to sound like sound tracks in the first place. and not like cliff richard ones at that. there you go. first post in a long time (i won't call myself a lurker because i've posted in a virtual sense) and it's another shit one. will the girl press send? big shouts to the ssm. meet up next week? daf?

Sinister: Ich bin gl�cklich. Du bist dick.
by robin stout 22 Oct '03

22 Oct '03

Hullo, Uff, I'm ill. I've a red nose and trembling fingers. I spent the whole day indoors eating soup, and even doing that with difficulty on account of my shuddering hands and my three jumpers. *sniff* Anyway.. at the weekend I was in GLASGOW!! where I saw YOU!! and YOU!! and, oh yes, YOU!! It was ace. The Aislers Set/Lucksmiths gig was one of the best of my whole life. The Aislers are such an amazing live band. And, oh, there was dancing, and lots of lovely people. Yes, it was tremendous. Big props to the Winchester Club. I spent most of my time with dashing Patrick, delectable Lucy and dishy Nal, all of this parish, and met various other people you might know as well, and no doubt ignored a fair few more. On Friday I was in Glasgow by myself and spent most of my time stalking strangers just to see where they would go, a sport that's even more fun than it sounds. I followed one of them all the way on and off the underground and ended up getting completely lost. I ended up in a library where lots of old people were stalking around behind the bookshelves, all with their eyes on the same few chairs. They'd look through the gaps between the books, their carrier bags would rustle, then they'd see someone fold up their newspaper and all at the same time they'd leap from their hiding places and grapple each other for the seats. I read a History of Glasgow for a while, but it was heavy and wasn't much fun standing up. On Sunday we went to the West End and Patrick bought an elephant on wheels, which we named Samuel. We decided to write a song about him. I wrote this: Samuel, oh Samuel Although you smell like dog biscuits And your wheels squeak and clunk I still love you Your big ears and your tiny trunk *tuba solo* Solomon, oh Solomon Although I've seen all your tricks before And I know you've got something up your sleeve I still love you When you hold the queen of hearts in front of me *tambourine solo* Samuel, oh Samuel I know you hate to be pushed around And I know you don't think I should But I love you And this bath I'm giving you is for your own good I don't think there's much of a market for songs about fluffy animals on wheels, though. I mean, who'd want to listen to a song about that? That's why I put the bit in about the magician, see? Everyone loves magicians! It's not all bad being ill. It means I've been able to watch Fans Only from front to back and over again. I tried to buy it from my local independent record shop, but they didn't have any because they were too expensive. They sent me over the road to MVC instead. I always feel guilty for not buying from independent record shops. I actually bought Dear Catastrophe Waitress from Tesco, and the guilt still attacks me from time to time like a shifty dog. I suggested to them that they buy up all of MVC's copies and sell them for 50p more. They seemed to think it was a good idea, so maybe they will. Fans Only is brilliant. I don't know why, but I had the feeling it would be rubbish, but it's not. It's tremendous. Action packed!! There are lots of great moments on it: b+s on a Brazillian chat show, Stevie singing Rhinestone Cowboy at Bowlie, Stuart forgetting the words to every song he sings, and Isobel looking absolutely lovely. I'd actually forgotten she was so pretty. Loads of songs make appearances, including one or two you might not have heard of before. I think "Disability Chic" and "Invisible" must be some of the instrumentals, and "Wake Her Up", mentioned once long ago, turns out to be a Stuart David song with funny noises attached. It's all very exciting. You should all buy it and watch it and write stuff about it, yo. Peter Miller should buy it so that he stops listening to his "Lead Zepp" DVD, with their "riffs" and "electric guitars", whatever those are. On the way home, sorry to go on a bit by the way, on the way home I had a go at figuring out the lyrics to the long version of Scooby Driver. I love this song and I wish they'd release the full version cos it rocks. If you haven't heard it, you should try to get hold of the version they played on KCRW a couple of months ago. Here's my attempt at the lyrics (any help with the bit about the bedroom door would be welcome): === I'm coming over in the wrong direction I only want to be the centre of your attention For long enough to show you I'm worth the trouble that you take I want to see the way that you portray A boy who maybe doesn't have to much to say And you can draw your own conclusions But you'll find I'm not a fake You can turn away from me But there's nothing that'll keep me here you know And you'll never be the city guy Any more than I'll be hosting the Scooby Show +++ I need protection There's a lot of ugly stuff that's going on I want to live my life inside a car that's movin' fast I want to see the way that you portray A boy who's going to try to change his life today +++ Everybody's clearly out to get me I want to [...] my bedroom door And close my eyes and listen to the music Really makes you sore And if you turn away from me I will put you on my list of folk to hate I will write it in my diary And I will take revenge at a later date === Au revoir, mes petits fours!

Sinister: you don't thrill me
by marisa stroud 21 Oct '03

21 Oct '03

So I finally figured it out. Today in Glasgow it was raining. Not a lot of rain, but enough so you'd know it was a rainy day. Also, it was cold. Not too cold, but cold enough so you'd get roses in your cheeks. I wanted to go home and curl up with a mug of tea and a book. I wanted to sit beside the window and look up at the grey sky and be glad I was inside. This is what I wanted. I wanted autumn. I wanted cold weather and Scotland and grey days. I really did. And I've been wanting it for awhile now. I was looking forward to bad weather and warm sweaters. I was looking forward to homemade soup and cuddling together for warmth. But no! This summer there was a heat wave! This autumn it has barely rained at all! And it has all felt very, very wrong. Ever since I first heard the DICKWANK tracks, I've had an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. I've been trying to figure out what was wrong. I tried to think of some reasons why I just didn't dig it as much as I wanted to: "There are too many songs about love." There are always many songs about love on b&s records. "There aren't enough characters." There are plenty of characters, good ones too. Miss Private and Ferdinand, the Catastrophe Waitress, and Lord Anthony, to name four solid candidates. "There isn't enough to dance around the room to." Will not dignify with response. I like my little red dress. But you know what it is? It's the wrong damn season for this album. Yes. Look at it and you will see. There isn't anything nice and wintery like 'Fox In The Snow' or 'Winter Wooskie'. 'Chalet Lines' is all kinds of February. I want to put on comfy pants and potter lazily around the flat, and DICKWANK just ain't helping me set the mood. This is a late-spring album, when you're sick to death of crappy cold weather and you're really looking forward to getting your summer groove back. It's not a Thrills-y 'Summer Album', but it has hope. Captial-H Hope. But this is not the time for Hope, says I. 'Tis the season for Socks! And Cocoa! Boo, Northern Hemisphere! You are the wrong season for the new album! Boo indeed. To all the folkage of the Southern persuasion: Congratulations. To myself: Go listen to 'Underachievers, Please Try Harder'. Done and done. marisa. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: 10 Roddington Place
by Peter Miller 21 Oct '03

21 Oct '03

I disagree with Robin and Stuart about lyrics being the most important thing in rock music. It's riffs that really count. And so it shall remain, until deaf us do part. That's why I like my 4 LPs on one MD Neil Young minidisc so much, especially when the riffs are accompanied by machine gun noises. It's also why I like my Led Zep DVD. I wonder whether the new B&S DVD will be as good as the Led Zep one? I'm not sure about that title, 'Fans Only'. Surely it would have been better to call it 'Real Fans Only', or perhaps 'Real Fans (a Pathetic Term) Only'. Doesn't Isobel look gorgeous as a drawing? I might get my crayon out and have a go myself. I have heard the new record, but I haven't got much to add to the lively debate. At times the orchestration's debt to the closing bars of Stravinsky's 'Le oiseau de feu' is a both liberating and overpowering for this listener, and the attempt to emulate the theme from the BBC's 'Top Gear' motoring programme at the beginning of 'I'm a Cuckoo' is a huge adrenaline rush. I can see the similarity between 'Stay Loose' and The Squeeze and Denim, but I don't think that's quite right. It reminds me of something else, but I can't put my finger on it. I think it might be something on Stiff Records. Was Ian Dury on Stiff Records? Does it sound a bit like Ian Dury? 'DCW' reminds me of New Order's 'Blue Monday'. The lyrics seem to be littered with references to heroin. 'Wrapped Up In Books' contains the line, 'You should never split a pole', which obviously means, 'you should never share a needle', a nod to the infamous 'shooting galleries' of Glasgow, where Stuart Murdoch spent the mid-eighties. 'I will say a prayer, just while you are sitting there' - nodding out. 'Our apsirations are wrapped up in books' - hunt the stash (we all know Murdoch loves a treasure hunt).

Sinister: an interview with the belle's
by Christine Irene 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

from dirty vicar's favourite publication... http://www.unison.ie/entertainment/stories.php3?ca=61&si=1059871 i'll also cut and paste it for ease of enjoyment... "Ow! Ya bastard!" yells Belle & Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch. The singer leaps up, swats whatever bit him, and grinds it with a heavy heel. Murdoch might front one of indie's most lovably fey bands, but with aggressive beetles, he takes no prisoners. Murdoch is skinny, 34, and newly blond. We're chatting in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, the venue for a Belle & Sebastian gig that night. Some 8,000 locals are expected, all sweet on the (mostly) retro-pop mini-symphonies that are this Glaswegian band's forte. Earlier the group hosted an unusual press junket at Shea Stadium in New York, doing interviews during a New York Mets vs Colorado Rockies baseball game. The novel approach to promo worked well. "It was very relaxed and there was plenty of time for a beer and a chat," he says. "Baseball's a game that comes in waves." As Belle & Sebastian gear up for the release of their fifth album, Dear Catastrophe Waitress, all this suggests a change of tack. Until now, they have conducted media relations with caution. When 1999's The Boy with the Arab Strap scored them a Brit for best newcomer, only two of the band bothered to attend the ceremony. Their reticence, and coy, Super 8-shot videos, have at times been seen as pretentious. Butchange is afoot. The keyboard player, Chris Geddes, concedes that signing to Rough Trade was partly contingent on playing ball with those pesky journos. "We're like any group; we want people to hear our records. We've had a really good reaction to the album, and with Trevor producing we want to give it a decent push." Ah yes, Trevor. As in Horn. As in the erstwhile Buggles member and ongoing studio boffin best known for his slick hit-making with Frankie Goes To Hollywood, and, more recently, Tatu. How did that come about? "We played the Coachella Festival in California last year," says Murdoch. "The lady who cleaned our caravan told us she worked for Trevor, and his daughter was a fan of ours. Trevor got in touch, so we arranged a meeting out of curiosity. We all really liked him, and thought, 'Why not?'" Anyone worried that Horn might have supplanted Belle & Sebastian's strings and reverb-drenched guitars with sequencers can relax. His sonic approach on Dear Catastrophe Waitress is very much simpatico, and this, combined with a leap forward in the band's own writing and arranging skills, has resulted in what is arguably their best album to date. Asked what events influenced his writing, Murdoch simply says: "A break-up is always fertile ground for a songwriter." When I ask him to unpack the lyric of "Wrapped Up in Books", he laughs and says it's about "committing adultery of the mind". Surely that's harmless? "You would think so, but it can also be the beginning of the end." It's difficult to know what to read into that remark, but a song that definitely references Murdoch's split is "I'm a Cuckoo". An ace pop number he wrote on piano, "Cuckoo" was translated into a brass and twin-lead-guitars arrangement. Any machismo has been cleverly sieved from the Thin Lizzy-esque tropes within "Cuckoo", but it's still a shock to find Belle & Sebastian tipping the hat to Phil Lynott's hedonistic rockers. What gives? "It can't be ignored that if you're in this business you're basically trying to sustain your childhood for as long as possible," says Murdoch. "A big part of my childhood involved listening to Thin Lizzy. Phil Lynott was certainly one of my heroes. I liked those cheeky wee winks he used to do." The Prospect Park gig is a triumph. Belle & Sebastian are infinitely better than the shambling outfit I saw back in 1999. At the end of "The Boy with the Arab Strap" there's a telling moment. Murdoch says that, as there are children in the audience, he doesn't want to sing the graphic last verse. As the crowd cheer, he lowers his eyes. It seems that part of him still wants to be The Catcher in the Rye. 'Dear Catastrophe Waitress' is out on Rough Trade on Monday ~stine __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

Sinister: "Piazza" literary references
by gassan＠history.umass.edu 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

Quoting The Hodottir <hodottir(a)hotmail.com>: > Last time I tried to post this, I also added a bit about 'Piazza, New York > Catcher' possibly containing references to John Fowles' 'The Collector' (I > will be your Ferdinand and you may wayward girl etc), but I'm not quite as > sure about that as before. Anyone have any better ideas? Hi - I think you're right about this. Take a look at, for example, http://www.greenmanreview.com/book/book_fowles_collector.html: "The title character is Frederick, a butterfly collector (who prefers to be called Ferdinand), who decides to "collect" the long-admired-from-a-distance object of his fantasy, an art student named Miranda. Frederick keeps Miranda prisoner in a room in his secluded basement. All he wants is for Miranda to love him and, other than keeping her prisoner, he treats her like a queen, fulfilling her every need or want. This is where The Collector succeeds best, in making Frederick not a monster, but a pitiful, lonely man in need of love and willing to give Miranda everything except her freedom." So when you see Stuart's lyrics for "Piazza," "How many nights of talking in hotel rooms..." you can see a parallel, the singer asking for his own captive. I think it's a parallel that holds up pretty well. By the way, I'm crap at finding these references; I'm suitably impressed that Ms. Hodottir did. (However, in looking at the last line, I can tell you that "Lewis and the litany of grace" is yet another! Christian reference, this to C.S. Lewis' book _Mere Christianity_, which is perhaps the best of his inspirational literature; as for myself, though, I'm a godless humanist who doesn't believe a word of it.) cheers, Richard. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: I'm A. Tautou
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.org 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

FUCK TWAT NOB PRICK CUNT BASTARD TOSSER DICK WANK There you go ian. Hi Sinisters, I am a bit offended that Ian never read my posts properly, I swore in capital letters, with three consecutive swear words in one of my last emails, and talked about naked ladies, but he never read them. So I put something on the very first line of this email maybe he'll read it this time. And 3 of those swearwords means willy and three other words are users or applications of a willy, whereas the remaining three words are possible recipients or possible result of one of the aforementioned applications of a willy. So Ian I hope you are happy. Being such an stupendous wordsmith, I've also managed to fit to the end of that top line the words "DICK WANK", which as you know is the acronym of the new B+S album "Dear Incredible Catastrophe Killing Waitress And Nob Kickage", as I was going to tell you my excitement of buying this album today, a week or so late, and also my excitement of purchasing the B+S DVD - "Fans Only" (FO for short pronounced "FUCK OFF") at the same time. Finally, I will have a use for the Playstation 2 that I have purchased, for it can be used to play DVDs, and I'm buying a DVD later. I am expecting the DVD to be fully interactive, and for it to include a PS2 compatible game that is in a similar style of "Grand Theft Auto" (GTA pronounced "Grab That Arse") involving Stuart Murdoch stealing Ford Granada Mark Is from the streets of Glasgow, and using it to pick up indie girls to a park for a quick romp in exchange for an original Tigermilk LP, then killing them afterwards so that he can get his LP back, which he will use to lure another girl into intercourse (otherwise he'd only ever get a maximum 500 shags). Anyway, a person who digresses I be. I am very looking forward to this DVD, with or without a PS2 game, and even if it is to be without a KARAOKE MODE. Mmm although B+S Karaoke that would kick ass.

Sinister: Band informatioooon, wrapped up in texts.
by The Hodottir 20 Oct '03

20 Oct '03

'Morning Sinisters I thought I'd sent this email on Friday, but it hasn't shown so I guess something went wrong... I hope this email doesn't read like it's the second time I've written it. I think I started out by saying that I seem to living in a Belle and Sebastian world at the moment - everywhere I turn there is another reference. And no, I don't care a jot! They *do* deserve it. I'll go so far as to say I think DCW is the strongest album yet, and I don't know how I lived without Stuart's marvellous vocal twists and key changes in stonkers like 'If she wants me', If you find yourself...' and 'Stay loose' - it's like he's reborn! On that note, I'd like to transcribe a text message exchange I had recently with my friend Dave, who lives in Glasgow. It all began with the usual 'how r u?' and 'can't w8 2 see you @ xmas' stuff, then this: Dave: guess who was in my kitchen drinking tea? Stuart Murdoch from Belle and Sebastian Me: What?! Really? how? HOW?! Dave: and he invited me out to a posh italian restaurant. had to decline of course, football was on the telly but told him another time Me: You did WHAT? Are you MAD? Dave: Nah, [name withheld to protect the innocant] my flatmate from brittany is translating a song into french for him and I reckon he's trying to get into her pants Me: [faint] So there you have it. A new, french B&S song? Our Stuart in alleged tea-drinking/chat-up scenario? Dave (the Rave - as he's known) in I'd-rather-watch-the-footie shock?! I call him a fool for declining the kind offer of dinner, but I'm not surprised: he really does love the 'Gers. Last time I tried to post this, I also added a bit about 'Piazza, New York Catcher' possibly containing references to John Fowles' 'The Collector' (I will be your Ferdinand and you may wayward girl etc), but I'm not quite as sure about that as before. Anyone have any better ideas? 'Fans only' comes out today and I *still* don't have a DVD player - argh!

Sinister: she's a simple person not as young as she looks , but whoever is in this day and age

Salve my dear anti-dextra hope all is well in the lives etc etc of you all. First a favour then back to meanderings of the little mind of me. myself and another sinister are heading to London on December 3rd for the gig of the b+s ( a bit of a mad trip involving flights of only 1 great european cent, from Cork , getting to london about 11 and leaving the next morning on the 0730) My favour is quite a simple one really. Where the hell is the astoria? is it the centre of the universe? does the whole tube system revolve around it? well any information would be greatly appretiated as i don't want to spend my one day (23 hours really) wandering around trying to find it. our theory is after gig if there isn't any club nights or whatever is to go around and do all the major sights AT NIGHT seeing as i have never seen them in the day i think it would be a nice introduction. Another administrative issue. It has been drawn to my attention that someone is heading over to our emerald shores for a little "vacation" so i propose a meetup of the irish sinister massive. i think there is about 8 of us now but i reckon with a bit of forward planning it could be accomplished for it to take place in neutral country (galway perhaps) ( neither dublin nor the peoples republic) failing that we could just drink ourselves silly in Keoghs'. suggestions anyone? so i finally got the new album and i must say it is growing on me. it isn't one of these albums that grabs you and you can't not listen to it. rather i am seeing beauty in many of the songs ( except that bloody roy walker). I think aside from the obvious track that doesn't need to be named wrapped up in books is a great song and the title track is rather good as well. Uni so far is great , i just hate the whole student society malarky. i am just there to learn not to drink myself stupid with people i don't know ( i managed to do that quite well on friday afternoon with people that i did know then went on to spend money i didn't have at a record fair held upstairs. a bit of a mistake i think to put drink and records in the same building , my two great loves together at last. right i am off to practice my affectations ta ta jnthn +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
