Sinister: Reporting Back
by Lucy Alder 20 May '03

20 May '03

Dear Sinister I was so cream-crackered on Sunday night that I went to sleep at 8.30pm. Why? Need you ask? My weekend began when I dashed out of the office at one oclock and bussed into town to try to find something to wear. After three hours, Id only purchased the Hidden Cameras album, which has its uses, but doesnt cover much, especially on me. So I wore the same clothes Ive worn to the Winchester half a dozen times before white v-neck, cap-sleeved top with navy and red stripes, denim skirt and red mary janes. I did my make-up when I got there because I was in such a rush, then set about icing the 94 fairy cakes I had made for the occasion (94!) Gav had also made a stupendous sponge cake and brought balloons, so at 9pm sharp, we opened the doors and started celebrating. And lots of people came! This is a list of Sinisterines I saw over the weekend, because I cant remember which bits they came to and which bits they didnt: HONEY AND LINDA, Ally Cook, Gav and Sarah, Carey Lander, Mark Casarotto, Ailsa Watson (nee Ross), Nick Dastoor, Robin Stout, Elaine, Sally and David Moore, Nal, James Thorniley, Stefano and Sunnyset, Lindsay, the Ginger Fox, the Pinefox, Stevie T, Jim Purple Trousers, Mr & Mrs Carsmile Steve, Ken Chu, Jo and Ian, Michael Grant, Kristin and Mark, LisawhoboughtStruanscar and friend x, Mistopher Chris and Missipher Julia, Keith, Big Stu, Stacey and Richard, Joss and Dudley of course um, I think Ive run out of steam there. The bands were great. Language of Flowers prompted energetic dancing from two young gentlemen and there was a kind of stage diving from the Dudley Corporation (I like to see imaginative use of space). But these bands arent *really* what you want to hear about, are they? OK, lets move on to the picnic and THEN you can have your content. The picnic didnt happen. I got to Kelvinbridge station at exactly the time God decided to spend a penny all over Glasgow. So we went to the pub, which was quite handy, because the FA Cup Final was on. Meg supported Arsenal, the rest of us didnt. She won, but we got to laugh at Thierry Henrys diving skeez. We ate, we drank, we were amazed by a person who looked like a Columbian drug runner and an old man who appeared to be using a giant syringe to inject himself with coca cola, then I had to go home and get the tickets, which Id forgotten to bring out with me, but it did give me a chance to shower, change and redo my face and hair, avoiding the need to wriggle about in a pokey toilet cubicle. Then I went to the gig. The Delgados were great, Mull Historical Society were ignored in favour of the bar, Karen Dunbar was truly hideous. Then, on comes Stevie, sharp suited and bespectacled, wielding a harmonica. And this is a list of what they played: Fuck This Shit (Struan waits backstage and Makes An Entrance at the end, to cheers, presumably because the SILVER TROUSERS ARE BACK!) Dirty Dream #2 (During which I realise that the boom is going to be swinging over our heads for the entirety of the gig and that this could get a bit annoying) If You Find Yourself Caught In Love Roy Walker (fingerclicks supplied by audience) Seeing Other People Like Dylan In The Movies (featured a more acousticky introduction, which I quite liked) Travellin' Light Step Into My Office, Baby (doesnt half sound like Good Vibrations) Don't Leave The Light On Baby (Stefano and I clapped in the wrong place oops) Dog On Wheels The Boy With The Arab Strap I'm A Cuckoo Sleep The Clock Around Encore: Judy And The Dream Of Horses (before which the band spends approximately ten minutes no exaggeration trying to remember how to play the darn song in the first place. Tsk.) During two songs, the onstage cameraman managed to walk backwards into a keyboard and accidentally play it with his arse (insert comment about it being a shame we never got to see Isobel play the piano with her arse which, surely, would have been magnificent). Um, what else? Richard still has a beard. I cant remember anything else. After the gig, I told everyone to go to the Art School, then ended up back at Allys flat, for which I apologise. The next day, I saw Mark, Sally and Paul onto their train and then did culcher with Mr & Mrs Moore. We were suitably twee (argh! That word!) and looked at an exhibition of illustrations from Ladybird books. Then we ate Cornish pasties, then I said goodbye, then I went home and fell into bed at 8.30pm. Which brings me full circle. Which means its time to stop writing.

Sinister: obey my dog
by David Hewitt 19 May '03

19 May '03

G'day Sinister. It's been a while. Sorry about that. In less than a fortnight now, I'm going to marry a girl I met thanks to these wonderful pink pages. She used to live on almost exactly the opposite side of the world, but now, several round-the-world tickets, wracked nerves, terrifying phone bills and so on later, we now both live together in a third place. What's perhaps most strange about this turn of events is exactly how strange it isn't, round these parts. Frankly, I find it harder to understand how our parents' generation ever found people to be compatible with in their own little cities and towns, and immediate circles of friends. It's not that I'm difficult to please (though I probably am), but some of us have to travel far and wide in search of someone that can tolerate us for any amount of time. And having (mostly) compatible record collections counts for a bit more than having similar post codes, I reckon. Actually, I won't try to rationalise it any further. Frankly, I blame Honey. I only wanted to find out about this Scottish band I was warming to, honest. I didn't expect to find this remarkable little village that's somehow been smeared and spread out rather inconveniently across most of the planet. Among the many and varied things that go along with having a wedding comes an issue with which you can perhaps render some assistance. The music. Pretty much anything by Belle and Sebastian is out of the question for a wedding, in spite of its obvious significance. (Don't believe me? How about: The Wrong Girl? Seeing Other People? Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying? The Boy Done Wrong Again? I'm Waking Up To Us? Fuck This Shit? I Don't Love Anyone?) But going through my records, most of them consist of some bloke whining about some girl that's broken his heart, or some other girl that he can't have, or something similar. Dump me, and I'm knee deep in wonderful wallowing music. Marry me, though, and I'm completely flummoxed. Musically, at least. I don't know what it says about me as a person that I've given some thought to what I want played at my funeral (Ray Parker Jr's 'Ghostbusters', obviously), but none at all about what I'd like to play at my wedding. So please, suggest away. In other news, I managed to actually meet some Australian listees, in Australia, no less. I'd met some of the Australian ex-pats before, but it was great to actually meet people on home turf for once. It turns out that my good mate's new flatmate is ex-Sinister, and he's even on the people page. He's also a New Yorker (as is the missus), and the subject of a story not entirely lacking in similarities to our own. We've also had the pleasure of meeting up on a couple of occasions with the remarkable Miss Trixie Firecracker, initially completely by chance. Which was wonderful, obviously. Sometimes being on Sinister feels like being in the Mafia. If only we were a bit tougher, we could really start getting things done. Oh, and we also had the chance to raise a wrist with Jim, who's apparently the list's longest lurker. Which is a strange sort of celebrity, if you think about it. Being famous for being absent from something the longest. Still, if we mention him now and again, perhaps his legend will grow. G'day Jim! Sorry, that got rather long. Give me a break, I haven't posted for ages. Next time I'll be briefer, more interesting and less self-centred, okay? That'll do for now, though.

Sinister: bitchfork versus B&S
by Kevin Hyde 19 May '03

19 May '03

Hi Sinister, Well, in reference to the subject line, I thought that the news story Pitchfork (www.pitchforkmedia.com) posted the other week was just a tiny bit antagonistic. Basically saying that Belle and Sebastian were starting to lose it, which vaguely reminded me of Sick Boy's tirade against Lou Reed et al. when he and Renton are in the park shooting the BB gun. I'm sure the new album will be at least the equal of 'boy with the marital aid', if not better. Also, super-content-wise, I suddenly, on I-95 South (which road reminds me constantly why I forewent obtaining my license until 21), while listening to 'Like Dylan in the Movies' remembered something B&S related that one of my best friends had told me years ago. His girlfriend had broken up with him, for reasons she summarized as 'you make me feel intellectually inferior', and it was kind of an acrid break-up, etc. My friend, during the penultimate encounter he and his ex had before she went off to England (!), answered the question "How do you feel about all this?", with those lines from the song- "well you're worth the trouble and you're worth the pain,...." which strikes me as being horribly romantic and great. And then I thought about how my own parting shots w/ex-girlfriends usually take the form of something like: "No, *YOU'RE* a self-absorbed bastard." And it seems like my friend's method is just a tad better. There's been some recent and almost covert mention of cankles on the list. I like the way random topics seem to spiral down through the Sinister ranks, much like, um, a double helix of chocolate peanuts through a half-gallon of Rocky Road ice cream. There you go, exactly like that. Add another incomprehensible simile to my list. Has anyone else heard of this David Amsden kid (he's 23) who is supposed to be the voice of our generation? (those of us who are around, say, 19 - 25 or so) He's written a book called "Important things that Don't Matter", which looks, on quick inspection, to be one of those semi-autobiographical memoir-y things. What generation are we exactly- is it still referred to as Generation Y? I think that's pretty much the most disgusting thing ever, for no reason especially. It would be nice if there were a more unique name though- why not call our generation 'Todd', or something sexy like 'Beautone'? As it is, we're just derivative of Gen X'ers, which makes me feel slightly dirty and odd. And plus, if anyone ever wants to know anything about libraries and what will be their downfall or salvation, Mr. Kieran Devaney (to whom I owe a good email) can very entertainingly enlighten you. I promise. All right. Time to get back to work, which means: pants off. Hope you're all well, Kevin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: goldfinger
by Christine Irene 19 May '03

19 May '03

hi everyone. i apologise, in advance, of the millions of type-o's that will grace this email. i did something to the mac....i got the "flashing question mark." you mac users know the one i mean. i don't have any of my start up disks here so i have to type on the pc laptop at work. grr. so how is everyone? i'm.....okay? thursday night was tough. i cried for about 4 hours and woke up on friday morning with my eyes swollen shut. i arrived at work where my boss kept asking why my eyes were all puffy. thank god i have allergies, i just blamed those. saturday morning i did a 3 mile charity walk for celiacs. it was a glorious morning and i was finished in just under an hour. then, at the post walk raffle, i had 2 winning tickets. since i don't have much specific use for hundreds of dollars worth of gluten- free food, i gave it to the family that i work for. the rest of saturday i did fuck all. i watched....i don't remember really. yesterday (sunday) i spent a couple of hours at the cemetery. the first hour and a half i was wandering around trying to find my dad's grave....my grandfather and brother are buried there as well...i haven't been there since...christmas time. when i finally found the site, i found that i was ill prepared. i s'pose it would make sense that the grass hasn't grown in or anything, i just wasn't prepared to see it. there it was, a patchy bit of ground with freshly laid sod atop a mound of dirt. it really upset me. i thought i would get upset there, but also, for some reason, never considered that the ground wouldn't be settled yet. after that i just hung round my house. i watched a dvd documentary on Muhammed, then I watched the Big Chill before getting addicted to the finale of The Bachelor, with my sister and brother in law. i don't why i was so hooked on it last night...i think that the bachelor himself is a total dork, and not in a good way. the one girl from chicago seemed nice and reasonably intelligent (though i would have to wonder what a seemingly nice and reasonably intelligent girl is doing on that show) and the other girl was so,like, stupid, or whatever. each time she spoke i could hear a thousand english professors rolling round in their graves. my uncle jim left me a message last night. i called him a few days ago to discuss the state that i am in. he is a lawyer and, i'm sure, will be of great help in sussing out what i should do regarding my financial situation. oh well. what else? ah, the gig was this weekend, yeah? do tell of the meet ups and all. i am fairly certain that my jinnifer was going...and i would imagine that brian mcneill would be in attendance? hopefully you all had a lovely time. i hope you didn't miss me too much. a propos of nothing (or apprepeaux, hee hee jinnifer), white house press secretary ari fleicher announced his resignation today. he is the only bush-esque guy i liked. i wouldn't say i fancied him per se, i just love to listen to him. he is just so articulate. i wish i were that articulate. i apologise in advance for mark casaroto getting his knickers twisted....i'm sure the above makes me sound all right-wing. so i shall bid you all farewell... love and guacamole to you all...well, most of you :o) ~stine ps.......ash are here tomorrow....i think i may go. tim wheeler...yummy :oP __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: Anyone?
by Paulo Stinsoni 19 May '03

19 May '03

Woo Haaa! I was there! The gig was lovely. I could stop laughing at "Dirty Dream" and shouting out the words. Oh I was so happy. Ah well AND I kept looking around at people's badges, but only saw one that was upside down. It was a "The Beat" badge, but it was a mistake. The girl was pleased to be thought of as part of a secret society, but she just wasn't Sinister. I had my "Fat Tulips" badge on full display to all, and kept peering at people's chests to see if their badges (not their breasts) were upturned or not. I missed you all. Anyway, all was not lost. The techno afterwards was super too. I haven't danced so much since I was a wee bairn (I've been talking Scottish since I returned from Glasgow) and I went safely to bed for 4:30. Oh it was wonderful, wasn't it kids? David Hewitt - if you want a wedding B&S song for a wedding, go for Mayfly. I've been through this exercise, and Mayfly was suggested to me cos I know what those B&S chaps are like with their dickslaps and their dreams of horses. Check it: http://www.missprint.org/cgi-bin/anylistsearch.cgi?query=wedding&list=sinis… Right see you all next time Hope so anyway P. _________________________________________________________________ On the move?

Sinister: ---do you see me?
by Allison . 19 May '03

19 May '03

LIE TO ME Hi, here is the part of my email where, "It's been a bit since I posted last." For whatever reason. I think it's partly because I was horribly disappointed to find that I didn't receive my half for the Valentine's Day Gift-Giving Extravaganza. But it's alright...that's the way my life works. In general. [[aww, group sigh? anyone? no? ...Yeah, I wouldn't either.]] AND ANYONE WHO TRIED TO DENY YOU, MUST BE OUT OF THEIR MIND This boy, who I would have to say is my bestest male companion at university is trying to get back together with his ex-girlfriend. I wish happiness for all my friends, but it seems this isn't meant to be. I tried to suggest listening to some B&S for inspiration, but he wasn't grabbing ahold to the idea all so well. OYSTER GIRL I walked into a seafood restaurant my friend lives above the other day and they were playing B&S [[If You're Feeling Sinister Album if you were wondering]]. Look how much content I have! Look! LOOK! I realize I never have anything to say, but do any of us? Oh wait, that's probably too pretentious of me. --moi p.s. University is slowly hurting me to the point where I doubt I am cut out for this place. Working harder doesn't pay off, and neither does changing my life plans. Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying....has never applied so much. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

dear sinister, how are you? me, i'm all right. it's been a while since i last posted. i can't even remember when i posted last. . .oh right, it was my feeble attempt at organizing a texas meetup. *blushes* sorry, y'all. since i last posted, i've had my heart broken thrice, lost 40 pounds, gotten a tattoo (hello kitty on my chest!), figured out what sort of career i want, taken a road trip to vegas, and discovered the joy of chocolate martinis. not necessarily in that order. i've been reading everything you all have been writing, and it's good to see that while my life is changing so much, the list still goes on. i like that about you, sinister. i recently added my journal to retro^sec's blog list! i'm so excited. my journal isn't anything special, i'm no blog superstar or anything. just between us, i'm still hopefully waiting for some shy sinister-type boy to come across my journal, write me a little note, he'll ask to meet me at spider house, we'll meet and instantly fall in love and together we will rule the school. . . *sigh* oh, wait. where was i? yes, the pocketbook angels blog list. it's a wonderful thing. i'm so jealous of all you that get to see the band soon. i hope you have fun! love, alyson +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: death ghost ooh the disco
by chris_t_opher 16 May '03

16 May '03

people: how come stuart actually sounds scottish when hes singing 'pocketbook angel' (listen to "books" and "looks") and yet he doesnt at all now? it must have been a conscious decision. or are there lots of recent b&s songs where you can tell hes scottish? almost similarly (but not quite), the felt album 'me and a monkey on the moon' has a track called 'free'. the first few notes are pure unadulterated b&s. download it and see. i love how some (particularly american) politicians can look smug as they talk about war and death. boring old blair always puts on his sombre voice and straight face whenever he does it his seriousness is losing him popularity, i reckon. id love to live in a country where some jolly chocolate-eating fat man is the leader and he always smiles and chuckles as he informs his people of natural disasters etc. like something from a bank holiday film but with a surreal twist. manchester continues to burrow deep back into the heart of me. last friday was a night of irish (non)dancing, the worst £5 buffet ever, simian (the band) in a dark pub and then a stop-off at 'love on the march', manchester's irregular b&s night. sorry to any mancunian lurkers who were there, i think i took up more of the dance floor than is allowed - i wore strange shoes. and no, ken, they werent extra-long clown shoes. i shall be one of the few (it seems) not participating in the weekend's leisure activities in glasgow. instead, i shall be juggling revision (thats "study for exams" for our american friends) for my forthcoming four weeks of hell. random sentence im reading right now: "a negative feedback loop makes for much more stable systems". well, duh! good luck to everyone else surrounded by pro-plus, biscuits, vitamin pills and piles of notes. cos you are either a student or living your life very strangely indeed. finally, if youre one of those people who goes to a quiet gig then stands around near-shouting at your friends, please stop it. its not a very nice thing to do. it happens a lot in manchester but i havent been elsewhere enough to decide whether its worse here or not. speaking of which, the hidden cameras *and* mogwai are both bypassing this place (must be the water...) on their respective tours. if they werent so goddam good, id consider boycotting both from now on. any distraction will do, c. ps. for anyone not familiar with it, the aptly-named dosomethingpretty.com is a great website. several sinisters and sinister-relatives write for it so go have a look. __________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sinister: It doesn't matter, what I'm thinkin, what I tell myself to do, I end up Colin
by Today I am content to sit here with you in silence 15 May '03

15 May '03

Oh it's you or rather oh it's me. It's been a while sinister. How've you been? Me, I've been getting on. Another year of school over and done. Only this time I won't go home. My mother calls every once in a while to pick me apart, so I lied to her and said I'd found someone to help me move into summer housing and she didn't have to come up. I moved all by myself up some massive stairs with great heavy boxes that left cuts in my arms. It took six hours. When I woke up dreadfully sore the next day and the day after that I thought "This pain in my muscles is the price of my pride." I felt rather good about it. I don't have a kitchen here so I'm sitting here writing to you while eating what has become my typical breakfast, a sampling of my massive collection of pocky. Technically I can say I've had strawberries, milk, and coffee, but they're only flavors of pocky. Between working and taking a summer class, I eat about a meal a day. At least maybe that means the calls from my mother won't include a section about how I look chubby, as if she could tell from two hours away. So I was trying to download Eggstone songs, when I happened upon Hideki Kaji, cause he's got a song called Eggstone. Now I think he's lovely, full of happy poppy songs, which is good for summer. Does anyone know the name of the band who sing American Friend? I'm trying to get the song but it keeps giving me the grateful dead like I'm some kind of hippy or something. I am in love with a certain boy, he's a simple person, not as young as he looks. Really. He's also painfully shy. I basically gave myself a mental smack upside the head and got over being so scared of boys, to a degree anyway. Enough to not just sit back. For the first time in my life I'm pursuing someone. I've been wondering if it's just us kids, our generation, or if people have always been terrified of loving each other. At least I'll always love you sinister, no matter what you do I'd spoon with you Kara www2.bc.edu/~brielman _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
