Sinister: I told the stars above about the one I love.
by Sam Walton 19 Dec '02

19 Dec '02

Hello Sinister. I was only 14 when the last ever Mark & Lard Graveyard Shift was broadcast, but I'd been into it for a couple of years, and was sad to see it go. They finished the show with Tindersticks' "Tiny Tears" (a great record - if you haven't already got it, go get it), shivers ran down my spine, and then they were gone. Tonight, the legendary Evening Session went the same way. Although I hadn't really listened to it for a couple of years, I thought I'd better listen to the last ever one - a bit like going to the funeral of a distant relative with whom you've lost touch - because once upon a time I adored that show. Like a doddery old relative, the ES had, for my money at least, gone a bit senile in the last couple of years, obsessed with any band that began with "The", but when I came to pay my respects tonight, it was fucking wonderful. Everything that the ES has ever got me into was there, from Britpop to hip hop; Lamacq ended the show with Supergrass' Alright (another great record), shivers ran down my spine, and then he was gone. So yeah. All hail the ES - I'm sure I'm not the only person on this list who's sad to see it go. Having (albeit indirectly) had a go at bands that begin with "The", I must say that I am quite taken by the Libertines' single. I haven't a clue what it's called, but I've heard it five or six times now and it's great. It just needs a big brass section, and then it'd really be one of the great Britpop singles. Anyway... I forgot all about B&S on Peel last night, which was really quite annoying. I only managed to tune into the last bit of Get Me Away From Here, and then I caught the new Christmas tune and the frankly brilliant Twelve Days of Christmas. Does anybody have a copy they could share? Aside from the final ES, I've been listening to The Divine Comedy all day, in particular "A Short Album About Love". I'm currently in that all-too-common predicament of unrequited love - in fact it's a crush I've had for best part of a year - and "Everybody Knows (Except You)" has been remarkably theraputic. It's the nearest thing to how I actually feel. love, Asm.x P.S. Whatever Happened to EE Fumblings?

Sinister: Silent Night
by P F 19 Dec '02

19 Dec '02

- It's quiet out there. - Yes... too quiet. It's not quiet when Bob Zimmerman launches into 'Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You' on the new ROLLING THUNDER 1975 LP which has cleverly been released, not even rereleased. I think that the ROLLING THUNDER 1975 bit shows good taste on the part of the editors. Dylan rejigs all his tracks, making some of them into jigs. Certain others are reels, or rather, two reelers. They're also seven-handers, and three-card brags. When the game finally ended up, they had to get Christopher Ricks to analyze the grammar. You could say it was 70s DYLAN and you wouldn't be far wrong. He also plays 'It Ain't Me Babe' as reggae, 'Hard Rain' as 'Highway 61', and 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue' forgetfully. 'Hurricane' sounds exactly like the LP version, which is disconcerting in the context of dis concert. I receieved my 70s DYLAN package in a shady environment strewn with beer cans and drunken sinister kids who would later *outrageously* get *kicked out* of the joint, from a benefactor who will remain analogous. He also tells me that when BLOOD ON THE TRACKS came out, the girls of Durham cried in public at the lyrics. That's something to visualize. On an earlier occasion, he gave me THE RISE AND FALL OF EDNA WELTHORPE AND THE ZIGGURATS FROM M.A.R.R.S. It starts with the line 'Pushing thru [sic] the market square'. For a while I thought it might be a Stevenage concept album. But I got even more excited when I heard the first chord of Neko Case's BLACKLISTED. This LP has no right to be good - it ought to be acoustic rants harshly sung. But actually it's astonishingly high quality, a bolt from the blue. The first chord (G) sounds like the Pines, cos G is easy. Then it turns into a Gm, which is harder to do things with, and sounds like, say, a back-up guitarist from a recent Dylan tour laying down lead for 'John Brown'. The quality of the acoustics, close-up and raw, sound like very recent Lloyd Cole. This is the first 5-10 seconds! You can see why it excited me. Then she sings some words in a rather keening way, and gets away with things that ought to be clich�s. She even makes the phrase 'American dreams' sound meaningful and moving. I'm not kidding. In foreign news, my editor has gone to audition Ralph Bellamy in Tucson. It's for a non-speaking part. They are feasting with panthers, and possibly milking orang-utans. If they don't post some more exciting updates somewhere, I'll have to make some up and post them myself. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.

Sinister: Not quite begging, not quite demanding

Brass tacks, folks, brass tacks: The Centre of Our Collective Attention was on John Peel yesterday. Who out there recorded it? And more importantly, what do I have to do to get a copy*?

Sinister: ...and a partridge in a pear tree, A-HA
by Hewitt, Stephen 19 Dec '02

19 Dec '02

Ello babies I am finishing work in 45 mins for two and a bit weeks and as I have finished everything vital I thought I'd write you a wobs message rather than just sitting and picking my nose (although I might do a bit of that too). CAROLLING (ie content, lumme) Good to see the high level of shambolic-ness (shambolicity?) perfected by b&s over the years shows no sign of abating. Mind you 12 days of xmas is *always* shambolic unless performed by ninja-skill level choirs, due to: A: forgetting what number you're at B: everyone learning different orders for 9, 10, 11 and 12 depending on which carol book your school had C: everyone getting faster and fasterandfaster as the song progresses TOSS So I was watching sky sports t'other week and they had coverage of the BOWLING WORLD CUP from riga in that latvia and it was held at the TOSS bowling centre, which made me think of ken (I wonder if rowans is a rude word in latvian...) DANCING We're going out dancing tonite innit, and as I'm going to the pub to meet several dark and shady characters from pre-history first (ie as soon as I leave work (we're going to ye olde chesire cheese (fleet street) if anyone wants to pop along)) I should be well up for dancing as soon as I reach howdoesitfeeltobeloved. NB please do not let me throw up over stuart (or anyone else for that matter...) FLAT Not saying anything specific like, but has IC been as missed as much as during the first verse of OCOCE last nite??? MISSED? Don't forget that if you didn't catch the peel show last nite (or even if you did), you can listen to it for the next week via the wonders of bbc online. It's probably here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio1_aod.shtml?peel_wed you'll need realplayer and to not work where I do as for some reason I can get a squillion radio stations but the beeb don't work, ho hum. LEMONY There was a documentary thing about LEMONY SNICKET on BBC4 the other nite which was quite fun and I thought of lllllllew. Also I have bought my sister (age 26) the first book for wobs so I might read it also to see what the fuss is abt (NB my sister does teach small children so she has to keep up with the scene, that's her excuse anyway ;)) WOBS Ah, the joys of predictive txt...

Sinister: nonsense
by Retro^Sec 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

I'm so sleepy.. Its been a while I think, since a post to sinister came from me. This evening I met with a friend in The Wash. Hes had his hair cut, and its looking pretty good for hat hair. He gave me a christmas present, and I know it will be good - his taste and ability to judge my taste is impecable. Should think so too, after 7 years. The weekend, seems to have disappeared and left behind the glorious remenants of memories, floating round my mind like little floating candles. There is a memory, which was sparked off yesterday, when I heard Velvet Underground playing on the jukebox in the 13th Note. It reminded me of university. Of my first year in halls of residence, and how all the corridors, linking the ziggurat floors together and coasting down like the steps inside a ship, smelt of chicken soup, as all the smells of food combined. It reminded me of the hungover morning after my 19th birthday, when I had drunk champagne for the first time, from a pint glass on an empty stomach, and yes, downed it in one. The memory of crawling around on my hands and knees, opening the door so that visitors wouldn't stand banging on the glass to be let in. And when I looked up, there he was. A man with a black mullet, and eyeliner, in an orange shirt who looked like a beer bellied Richey Manic, and I fancied him. So I offered him some champagne. He smiled at me. Later, my flat mate said he told her he'd never been offered champagne from the bottle by a drunken pretty girl on her hands and knees before. The hangover morning, was sort of beautiful, and quite surreal. Looking out my steamed up window, onto the misty lake, and shivering under my duvet, and lying in bed for hours, gazing at the black and white Brett Anderson poster hung above my bed. The boys used to like that poster. They liked the idea of Brett Anderson watching us while we got it on. They said it was as if he approved. The Winchester Club was marvellous. I haven't listened to my free cee dee yet. I shall though. Soon. I am sleepy. My friend couldn't believe how quiet I was. idles x ===== <a href="http://retrosec.blogspot.com/">http://retrosec.blogspot.com/</a> thoughts __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: heading for a disaster (& A POSSIBLE PERTH PARTY ON NYE)
by terry underwear 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

Topical Welcome Bit seasons greetings, Useless Trivia You Won't Find in Christmas Crackers Did you know that Nick Drake still holds the 100m sprint record at the school he went to (some fancy Marlborough boarding school)? Christmas Presents i saw the Salteens last week and they were fantastic. They are all so cute and damn they are good to dance to. I also sent my Present Exchange gifts out. i hope people enjoy them. Are you allowed to open the presents before Christmas (assuming you get them before Christmas)? Is there some kind of Sinister Christmas exchamge etiquette? Jokes as Bad as the Ones You Get in Christmas Crackers There is lots of talk on the B&S Q&A about the illegal copying and downloading of music isn't there? Personally i don't think there is anything wrong with it, I mean it has been going on for years. All those folks in Southern USA were burning copies of Beatles records for each other way back in the 60's, and the Nazi's were burning books way back before WW2. They were very technologically advancd weren't they? New Year's Eve Party I am thinking of having a New Year's Eve party at my house. It will probably be on December 31. All you lovely Perth listee's are invited, and anyone who is going to be in Perth is more than welcome to attend also. If you think you may be interested in coming please reply so I can decide whether to have it or not. There will be lots of boozing, dancing and nibbling. Possibly in that order... Candy Canes I bought the Merry Christmas from the White Stripes 7 inch yesterday. It is rather funny. The B-side consists of Jack reading a passage about the Three Wise Men from the bible, and then Meg singing Silent Night but forgettting the words. Realisation That I Have Nothing Else to Say and Have Written Some of the Worst Jokes Ever.. i have to buy Christmas presents for my family now. I really should make some things for them too, seeing as how I will probably put more thought into what I gave to people I've never met. Is that bad? Do I need to ask if that is bad? Is this post bad? Do I need to ask if it is bad?

Sinister: i can't think of anything
by pulu xxx 16 Dec '02

16 Dec '02

hello, i felt so stupid after writing that mail on thrusday, cos it was just a photo, he wasn't even with any girl in it. i've just been obsessing about him lately and about boys in general. i thought i was over it, but every night i try to to think about something nice so i've been thinking about being with someone and whether i could be with anyone, whether i'd still have feelings for him. and if someone would say that he loves me or something and whether i could say the same thing to him, and i realised that i can't. so i thought i really have to stop obsessing about finding someone and obsessing about him, cos that takes just so much energy. and my grades are hurting, cos it's difficult to concentrate on school work. but i'm just tired of it though, and i regret that i missed that one exam because of him. i'm generally able to control my emotions, but it's just when i'm alone i tend to freak out about things and make then bigger than what they probably are, in reality. something else now: does anyone here attend strathclyde university? i might be coming there in january, i've been offered a place to study there for the 2nd semester, but i'm not sure whether i should go, and i don't know whether i get a place at the halls of residence. but yesterday i read from nme that the delgados are playing there on january the 28th and i could see them, and i'd like to see them. but the thing that worries me are the courses, especially those tutorials that you have. i was planning to take some courses in history and literature and maybe in politics. so i'd be studying at faculty of arts and science, what are the teachers like there? i'd like to go to necropolis and visit nick drake's grave and sylvia plath's too, and maybe go to isle of skye. i better go now, thanks for listening and caring. me x __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: I think it may all be getting sorted
by Sean Howell 15 Dec '02

15 Dec '02

Hello there dear Sinister, *Introduction* How have you all been? I hope everyone has been exceptionally well. *the first snowfall of the year* A few nights ago brought the first snowfall of the year, around midnight it started, and lasted until around 4p, the following day. The first snowfall of the year always seems somewhat magical, I suppose the fact that we don't get appreciable snowfall terribly often here in Maryland likely has something to do with that. But either way, the other night ended up being far more that just a cold winter night at my house. I had a long conversation with someone who I've only recently resumed being friends with, and well, that made me very happy about the fact that I had been forgiven. We shared what has been on our mind as of late, and well, it's been essentially the same sort of things...I offered the best advice I could give, which I still fear could have stood to be better. That affair ended at approximately 2:30am, and I promptly decided it was time for me to go out for a walk and a smoke. I had my first smoke on the porch, as I usually do...but well the neighborhood just looked so beautiful, covered with a fresh blanket of crystalline powder, and I decided that it was time for that walk. I walked down the dark streets, the only light being that reflected from the seemingly distant street light's of my neighbors. I've walked that same path hundreds, likely thousands, of times, and never once has it looked quite as it did last night. Never before has it seemed so beautiful. I felt a bit guilty leaving my footprints in the snow, and I secretly hoped that by morning they would be covered up by the still falling snow. So I continued to walk, and I had a couple of smokes, and I realized that things all seemed to feel surprisingly right. I haven't felt more like myself in months. And well, after I realized that, I decided it was time to turn back, and head home to bed. So I made my way back through the snow, and once I got back into the house I nearly fell flat on my face, as well, creepers with snow on the bottom of them on hardwood floors are rather slick, and make for a bloody dangerous combination. As I crawled into bed a couple of minutes later, all the things that had been bothering me had been neatly folded like my shirt, sweater, and trousers on the table beside my bed. The chaos of this past month finally seems behind me. The chaos of crashing my car 3 weeks ago. The chaos of watching 13 years of a friend of mine's life nearly burn to the ground. The chaos of having two boys with bad moustaches try to fight me for no reason whatsoever that same night. The chaos of feeling like a bad person. It had been made sense of for a while. Granted a bit of the magic has worn off by this point, but well, it was still a nice experience. I'm once again in contact with a couple of people, whom I haven't spoken to in a while, and that is helping...thank you both. Friendships are being renewed, we are catching up, and well, that's splendid. *meeting and greeting* Um, I will be in Boston at some point this winter break, staying with some family, and would very much like to meet up with some sinister people while visiting. So any listees who are interested please write me, I'd be quite happy to hear from you! It will obviously be a bit too cold for a picnic or anything like that, but maybe we could go to museums and out to dinner, or something like that? Also, and listees from the MD/DC/PA area, I'd love to hear from you as well, since I'm here year round, and would of course be into doing some hanging out. *a break of the winter variety* I have a scant two days until my semester is officially done for! No more exams, no more exceptionally lengthy papers, no more nights spent in the library, no more walking around the University of Maryland campus and exhausting myself....well, at least until the end of January. The classes I'm registered for next semester seem like they should be fairly interesting though. I'm starting to learn German, Taking a course on the history of modern biology, a British history course, and a computer cartography for archaeology course...fun fun fun eh?? This friday is the annual office holiday party, which should be interesting. Last year my housemate ended up getting kissed by a very drunk co-worker. I'm not sure how good of an idea the combination of my co-workers and an open bar is...most likely, if history is any indication, not a very good one. *I think it's better to give and receive* Hey, why not have your cake and eat it too? I should be getting some extra fun gifts this year, my mum ordered me a lovely set of Belle and Sebastian playing cards, and the ever popular ampersand t-shirt. I'm also exceptionally excited to see what I get as part of the sinister gift exchange. All of my gifts for the exchange have been safely packed up, and shipped off. I'm dearly hoping that all packages will arrive on time. I'm sure they will, but well, I get worried sometimes, and I don't want any list grudges to devlop as a result of the U.S. Postal service. *the end...for now* Well, I think that's enough out of me for now. In the infinite free time brought by winter break expect to hear lots more from this boy in days and weeks to come. Take wonderful care, all of you.

Sinister: summer vacation lasts forever
by . alex . 14 Dec '02

14 Dec '02

Hello Sinister, I am listening to the All Girl Summer Fun Band as I type this - sunny girlie american pop songs, apt for the summery weather that I'm in the midst of here. No cute girls in winter clothes here, I'm afraid. Last night I went to a friend's 18th birthday, a fancy dress party. Failing to find anything "fancy" or "dress" in my wardrobe, I decided to go as a schoolgirl (with regulation knee-length skirt, of course!). Two other girls stole my idea: I wasn't impressed. One boy came as The Phantom, another as a race car driver, some girls as 60s mod girls. There was one boy there who came as a punk circa 1985. It was the most impressive dress-up effort I'd seen, right down to the fingerless studded leather gloves and godawful wig. So I decided to talk to him only to discover his penchant for bad American emo bands like Saves The Day and Alkaline Trio. But even so, that was comparatively better than the musical tastes of the majority of other people at the party. So here I was, drunken and rambling, writing him a list of all these bands he should listen to. Then I asked him the magical question: "Do you like Belle & Sebastian?", to which he answered, "yes, I have 'If You're Feeling Sinister'" :) It made my night.
