Sinister: Hand in hand with the electronic renaissance is the way to go, yeah.
by Paulo Stinsoni 15 May '03

15 May '03

Hello my pretties, Well this weekend sees my first ever B&S gig. It takes me back y'know (the old man relaxes in his rocking chair and bites comfortingly on his pipe) I remember my first gig. It was Depeche Mode at Whitley Bay ice rink. It's true, no blasphemous rumours from me. Anyway, I also remember a post about after gig activities on Saturday (http://www.missprint.org/sinister/latest-date.html) and although Matthew didn't like my suggestion, I thought I'd share it with the group. This Saturday Chris, Aaron, and Julian Liberator are all playing at something called "Mad Dog" in Glsagow. Now I know it's dirty acid techno they'll be playing, but in the past dance and indie have gone hand in hand (like Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, Soup Dragons etc.) I realise all this new Garridge stuff is completely useless and the fans of it are gun crazed loon-monkeys, but in the old rave days (daze), when the music was pounding ands not twiddly crap, the people were lovely, you'd find a new friend every time, and if you smiled at any stranger they'd smile back and be nice. Hopefully this "Mad Dog" thing will be just like that, because me and Theresa Lovely will be there after the gig. So, is anyone else going? It would broaden your horizons if you haven't been before, and if you've danced all night to chest pounding silliness before, then lets try it again, only together Here's a link http://www.club-mad-dog.demon.co.uk/event.htm Also, what's the club like? Love to you all Paul PS http://www.bubbyworld.com/waaah/bull2-0.htm (I'm the one in the Dougal T shirt) _________________________________________________________________ Worried what your kids see online?

Sinister: bumbastic
by stacey dahling 14 May '03

14 May '03

I must say, all this talk about Glasgow picnic fashion has begun to get me quite excited about the weekend. Not only will it be a belle and sebastian extravaganza, but it's my dear Richard's 21st birthday and what better gift than b&s? And a framed photo of me of course. So many people are flocking here from every which way and... and... that's exciting. Yes. (Please excuse my inability to form sentences. I've been studying law non stop. Eeps.) As for fashion... for those of you who will be here both Friday and Saturday, use Friday as your dress-to-the-nines night. Winchester club. Go schwanky. Go chic. Wear your best, most uncomfortable dancing shoes. Picnic begs for comfort wear. Not only must you have room in your trousers for food expansion, but even more importantly, DRINK expansion. Since that's clearly what sinister picnics do best - promote drink. How else will shy boys and girls come out of their shells? Plus, what if you must unexpectantly deal with a river? Or other mud? Or impromptu football games? And just cos you're a girl does not mean you're automatically exempt from any of these activities. Erm. I've waffled on about this for way too long. For those of you who aren't fortunate enough to be near enough to attend any of the activities, may I suggest you get together with a friend and have your own b&s extravaganza? It's the only thing that got me by when I was stuck in far flung unfriendly places. Now I'm a spoiled b&s brat. But I still sympathize. I'd be flinging venomous spittle in the direction of anyone lucky enough to be attending big gigs and picnics and... grrrr. I called te Guardian yesterday. It was scary. I was shaking. Are you proud? I'm hungry. I'll let you be. Bye -stacey _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

Sinister: 3 am in the burbs
by marisa stroud 14 May '03

14 May '03

Hello my pretties. It's been ages. Come to think of it, I haven't posted since I got this new email account so this is in a way a second debut. Please excuse my voice, it's scratchy from the long winter. Yesterday all the trees started blooming and today I sang Joni Mitchell as loud as I could in the car. "A Case Of You", no less. How two years ago. I have this terrible habit of trying to relate songs to my life. Who was it that said that all the world's a stage and I'm the bloody star on it? Probably me. Anyway, this habit is all sweet and harmless until I start thinking about how cool it would be to break up and have all these great songs at my disposal to commiserate with. See, the boy and I, we're planning gardens for ten years from now, and Jay Fergueson's heartbreaking "Are You Giving Me Back My Love" on Sloan's latest album really doesn't belong. Christ, that man can sing a love-gone-wrong song to make you weep. But then I remember that time when we almost did break up, and it was all my fault. The icy-hand-around-the-heart thing doesn't fade much with time, does it? Luckily I've got "You Are My Joy" to pull me back from the brink. Even though I think the video with the kissing dolls is a touch on the creepy side, don't you? Listening to Arab Strap is also dangerous. All the smarmy bitterness of "My Favourite Muse" is darkly attractive, probably because of its blatant personal impossibility. I've got an ex, but we're unlikely to meet again due to geographical inconvenience and even more unlikely to shag due to it being kind of an icky idea to me at this point. All the same, I still (stupidly) kind of lust after the illicit thrill of having someone familiar but forbidden you could share a disappointing sexual experience with. But who needs an ex when you've got someone to sing "Here Comes The Sun" to you as you step off the plane? Not me. It's been a long cold lonely winter indeed here in Canadiashire. Still, the Beatles face stiff competition with the Lucksmiths. Hello, Australian Massive. I know I've never met any of you, but your countrymen have convinced me that you are all enormously clever and I can guarantee that the minute you open your mouths I'll have ridiculous adolescent-sized crushes on all of you. Girls too, prolly. As I said, ridiculous. But when I skip to "A Century of Elvis" I am reminded of my own lad's cute brogue. Later I'll get him to say "very", "fine, whatever", "maybe" and "berries" over the phone line for my amusement. I don't ask for much, just to have my bidding done, that's all. And also to have random words recited so I may giggle at the accentric pronunciations. So what is the point of all this? Self-indulgence? Mais bien sur. Isn't that what this list is all about? Okay, I've got content, too. And I'm not talking about the throwaway B&S reference above. Awhile ago (actually, kind of a long time ago, by now), Stacey (dahling) asked us what we thought about Sinister, about the friendships and relationships on and around the list. I didn't say anything because I didn't feel I had much to say. I've been here...oh, I don't know, about seven months, and I still feel like Mummy gave me my voice last week. The whole thing feels a bit...big, I guess. Bigger than my world, bigger than I have time to manage. And now that I have the absolute slowest dial-up imaginable for the next two months (while I'm here at home before I get out to Glasgow for a YEAR!) I have even less of an opportunity to figure it all out. My two attempts at #sinister were rather pathetic, especially as they represented my first and second times ever in a chat room. Sorry, guys. But I'm not trying to accuse anyone of coterieism or anything. I'm actually trying to pay the list a compliment. See, all the stuff I said up above, I don't really have anyone to say that to. Even the boy kind of gets it, but just kind of. I have not met any of you (although I hope to remedy that starting the second week of July or so) but I think that someone out there, in the 1500 or whatever number we're at now, will understand what I mean. Yes, it's silly, but it's *me*. We're all very different people from very different cultural and musical backgrounds, but I still feel like when I spam the list with this nonsense, someone will get it. I know I talked about the list, but really I was talking about you, Gentle Reader. Hope everyone has fun at the Winchester Birthday / Glasgow picnic / B&S gig and I'm insanely jealous I'll be missing it by barely two months. Meh. Honestly, didn't they get the memo about how the world revolves around me?? By the way, I recommend two braids for all the frizzy-haired concert-going sisters out there. Cute, and keeps the curls under control. Anyway. Night, kids. (thank fuck for that) marisa p.s. What happened to the Poetry Parrot, by the way? Hope he didn't get caught in the Bermuda Triangle. Terrible things happen, I suppose. Poor wee guy. ms ______________________________________________________________________ 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: "Sting" is another one of my heroes. His music, I don't really li sten to it, but the fact that he makes it, I respect that"
by therapy.services＠uclh.org 13 May '03

13 May '03

Oh my god, I'm back again. Bum, bum de dum. So I went and recorded the entire back catalogue and made a super-fine 'B+S for beginners' package (complete with pictures! and biography! and quotes! and scurrilous tales of debauchery!) for a friend of mine. And whilst I was proud of my gift and stationary skills, I did kind of overdo it on the listening stakes. So I played my recently received Quasi and Architecture in Helsinki records (I pretend to be the Midnight Miss Suki to her...) which were lovely, lovely, lovely and then, as ever, I went all poptastic. And then I was sad. Not because of the alarming family double accident, but because there aren't any good old fashioned boy bands anymore. Oh, how I've tired of "Sure we're all boys but are into r 'n' b and have flava with a pop groove and I play the keyboards and WE'RE NOT A BOY BAND!" palava I keep reading about in Smash Hits. I'm talking about a podgy lead singer, a cheeky chap, a cutie-pie and two buff hangers-on who DO AS THEY'RE TOLD and record a bunch of tunes written by Max Martin. I mean c'mon! I need some adorable unattainable boy to swoon over again and write fake articles about for fun! Careers Guidance Counsellor: Why journalism? Marianna: So I can interview cute pop stars and make out with them. Instead, sadly, there is the emergence of D-Side who are the new freaking Westlife (who, hell-lo, 'ugly! ugly! balladeers!' were never a proper boy band) and I worry about what those poor 12 year-olds are having to listen to. Boy bands are supposed to have up-tempo P!O!P! tunes and show off their rock-hard washboard abs whilst dancing on their knees and DON'T HAVE GIRLFRIENDS (let alone impregnate them) for five years so as not to alienate their fanbase. Sigh. I dream of creating my own group of wunderhunks. Still, D8's "Knockout" has, if nothing else, a totally kicking video clip and in the meantime I'm making do (sadly, not 'out') with Busted, who are to boy bands what Avril is to Dannii, but they do have fantastically perky pop-rocking singles, choreographed JUMPING UP AND DOWN WITH GUITARS routines, spiky bleached hair and one of the guys looks like Teenwolf. This is pleasing. What's also pleasing is the number of advertisements that are plastered on the streeetlamps in muh working hood. They read: "Hott young thangs wanted to become the saviours of pop," or something, and mention auditions scheduled for May 17. And suddenly THIS fragment of an idea is what I'm putting my pop musical faith in and somehow I know that by the end of the year, I'll be sitting in my room again, leaving the Interpol and the Vermont and The Miss Kitten records scattered deliberately around my stereo in a critically observed "she has great taste" way, but it will be their pop music that I'll be listening to on repeat for two months before discarding it for the next quick fix of musical hits from the Top of the Pops syringe. And so, with that in mind (and since I can't make it to Glasgow for the B+S shindig) I'm staying in London this weekend for the less credible, but oh - the anecdotes, of the aforementioned auditions, before grabbing my fedora and watching the spectacular Mr. JT. Oh-yeaahh. Realisation, I might want to think about re-applying for my indie cred. Might I just also add: JAPANESE! SWORD! FIGHTING! Is the coolest thing in the world. (Followed closely by my cracking new riding crop, which I have partly for memories sake and partly because carrying it and walking through town with a 'fuck off' expression makes me look saucy and really, if you happened to see on in a store, could YOU walk out without purchasing it? But, back to the ancient art of chopping people's heads off). It's so good it makes me want to crap my pants. And now I'm a swashbuckling pirate and a ninja and Westley from The Princess Bride all rolled into one. And now, now when ordinary folk might hear Struan sing "she put me on the ground with judo", I hear "she got revenge with batto-do." CONTENT! And, DON'T DOUBT IT! xx Miss Marianna ********************************************************************** This email is confidential and intended solely for the person or entity to whom it is addressed.

Sinister: Glasgow clubs
by Matthew Clift 13 May '03

13 May '03

Afternoon everyone, Is anyone going on to a club of any sort after the Glasgow show this weekend? If so, where do you advise? I fancy something vaguely indie/alternative and fairly central if there's anywhere anyone can recommend...? Somebody mentioned the Cathouse to me - supposed to be nu-metal, rock, punk etc... which'll do if there's nowhere else. Have any of you Glaswegians out there got any advice for me on this please? I was going to add to the potato jokes, but I spudn't think of one. Guess eye'll just have to jacket in before I make a fool of myself (oops, too late). Thanks in advance for any advice regarding the more sensible bit of this email. Cheers, Matthew. P.S. For those of you who may be interested (not many of you then), the mighty Donny Rovers are back in the Football League! Thanks to all of you who sent positive thoughts. The rest of you... well, it looks like we didn't need you anyway! __________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Sinister: The future's looking colourful, it's the color of blood, chaos and corruption
by Michael Vance 13 May '03

13 May '03

Someone wrote on Amazon: 'After reading about it for what seems half a decade, "The Loneliness of the Middle Distance Runner" is a bit disappointing - i find the melody weak and meandering -- but perhaps no actual song could trump the "lost masterpiece" I had in my head.' And I have to say that this person is dead wrong, and it's absolutely one of my favorite B&S songs ever. I'm listening to it right now and it's so brilliant I want to scream. I also have a couple live versions of it because a very nice Sinister fellow by the name of Ernie sent me some CDs (and I was never kind enough to return the favor--apologies!). Ernie sent them to be because I had never heard a live version of Seymour Stein and was desperate to. Ben Apps is my new hero for making a pun about that song recently. And he got married to another local LA Sinister lady in Santa Barbara, which is coincidentally where my bride-to-be and I got engaged at the beginning of the year. Yes, the future *is* looking colorful--I'm getting married in late September. If we were playing six degrees of Sinister I imagine I could link up to anyone in Scotland through Mrs. Fruitloop to BApps to whomever (maybe even KChu in London or wherever--thank fuck for that). And speaking of blogs I was reading one (from NYC) the other day when I realized the author's good friend worked at the same company as a good friend of mine. Unknown connections coming out of the woodwork. There's a poll on Morrissey-Solo for the saddest Smiths/Morrissey song, but they don't even have Jeane there. No other song is quite as soul-crushing to me, but of course beautiful at the same time. "Jeane There's ice on the sink where we bathe So how can you call this a home When you know it's a grave ?" When Sandie Shaw sings the song I think it's even more sad somehow. Maybe because she's a Buddhist. Or maybe not. m. -- "Behold, Sheriff Pony! The flashpoint of all creation!!" "Woo-hoo!!

Sinister: Green Wellies
by robin stout 13 May '03

13 May '03

Dear All, On Sunday, I finally got around to planting my potatoes. My back garden is very small, so I could only plant two rows. Looking out of my kitchen window through the steam of a well-earned cup of tea an idea sprouted in front of me. There in front of me, all lined up like horses at the starting gate, were ten brand-new gambling opportunities. Knowing how you members of the "Belle and Sebastian and Potatoes Mailing List" love a good bet, here it is: (the seed potatoes are ordered as they are seen from Robin's kitchen window) \o/ 1: Le Potato De La Bourgeoisie \o/ 2: The Tater I Am In \o/ 3: You're Just a Tattie \o/ 4: Spud-o-tronic Renaissance \o/ 5: There's Too Much Spud \o/ 6: The Spud of Mash and Peel \o/ 7: The Potato in the Snow \o/ 8: I Know Where the Potatoes Go \o/ 9: Lazy Mashed Potater Jane \o/ 10: I'm Waking Up to Spuds Each potato is more or less the same size and, after plenty of digging, the going is good. Winners will be judged in a few months time on the number of potatoes produced per seed potato, their size, healthiness and flavour. Whoever picks the winner, I will send a prize.* He he! I just sent someone a tea bag in the Internal Mail here at work and he doesn't know who it came from. HA HA!! A TEA BAG!!!! Robin x * The prize may be a potato.

Sinister: Blog Envy...
by Ellie 13 May '03

13 May '03

The recent chatter about blogs (I prefer "online journal" -- in the words of Dave Elfving, a blog "sounds like some sort of unfortunate medical condition") on this list has led me to re-evaluate my own little log. ...And yes, I suffer from blog envy. A recent jaunt over to the Pocketbook Angel webring lead me to interesting journals that chronicle the ever-exciting lives of imminent hipsters and neglected colanders. My own journal, on the other hand, has recently hosted entries about the giant swordfish I saw at the market, another about how many people I harrassed at Sunday night's free Paul McCartney concert, and another about the unfortunate state of my hair. (Certainly things worthy of remembering and sharing with passers-by). In other words, I'm too embarrassed to share webring space with journals that are actually worth reading; how about an alternative Sinister Blog List for the rest of us? Surely there must be at least one or two other Sinisterians who, like my self, have an unquashable enthusiasm for sharing the mundane. Also, I have been watching the list for any sorts of meetup announcements (I'll be somewhere in the UK for most of July) but thus far no luck. That, coupled with the fact that none of my favorite British bands will be touring then has lead me to feel quite rejected. Now, I'm not saying that anyone should plan a July picnic simply because I'll be in town, I'm just saying that *were* someone to arrange one, I would certainly show up. That's all. --E, proudly blogging the boring since Jan. 2001 +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: nice day for a soup
by kenneth.chu＠uclh.org 13 May '03

13 May '03

Hello sinister, OBH has sent me all the way back to sinister in order to post again. On a kind of Campbell theme today too. Matt Campbell discovered something that costed him £13.50, and he was quite annoyed, well, a week last Saturday I discovered something else, and now I'm $200 poorer than before. Online poker, I curse you. And also Matt I'm not one of those lucky beggars who got your loose change, argh, some dude now has all of mine. He was BLUFFING too, and I called his bluff but he won it on the river killer. Sigh. And then Dean Dillon talked about Alphabet soup, which made me feel as if I've Got My Finger On The Pulse there. Because I've noticed the disappearance of my beloved alphabet soup since January 2002... http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200201/msg00186.html And apparently, they're still being sold in America as "Campbell's Vegetarian Vegetable Soup" (as opposed to the vegetable soups that use substitute vegetables which look like vegetables but are actually meat, to cater for meatatarians - my favourite is the cucumber that is in fact a big piece of pork). In the UK, however, I have searched long and hard (well, looked in various supermarkets) there is still no Alphabet Soup (vegetarian or not) to be seen. If anyone does find one then I'd be grateful to be informed of it! The lack of said soup is effecting my spelling bye the minit. innit. Finally of course.. mmmmmm Isobel Campbell. Okay I better check the rear tyres for my car before driving up to Glasgow on Friday, see you later.
