Hello everyone Just a quick link really. And it's an inexplicable story of chair stroke shoe related misfortune. It made me strangely sad and I thought of sinister. Now what does that tell you? http://www.mantlepies.com/disaster.html Such a sad chair. I hope everyone's got enough vitamin b12 in their diet. I'll be checking!!!

Sinister: gap
by Kieran Devaney 06 Dec '02

06 Dec '02

Dear Sinister, Its a cliché to be miserable at Christmas. The Offbeat Belle and Sebastian special. Reporting back. It was fun. I flew the flag for Sinister and danced to every single b&s song played, and some others too. It was strange. With people behaving in unexpected ways. I behaved oddly myself and told someone that I dont know at all that his enjoyment of caving was probably something oedipal, something about retreating back into the womb. I asked him if hed ever felt violent urges towards his father. He didnt understand. Birmingham is bleaker than I remember. Grimmer. Last week off the train the first person who talks to me is homeless Dave, pestering me for cash. Have I told you about him? He was on TV recently. I probably have. I didnt give him anything. On the street someone stopped me and asked if I knew where he could buy weed. I told him no. Because I dont. He singled me out, though, from amongst a whole load of people. Perhaps I need to change my image. Are you angry or are you boring? I have my gifts ready for the Sinister present exchange, nothing too flashy. I wont say quite what so I dont spoil the surprise. Im going to send them off tomorrow. Two cows standing in a field. One turns to the other and says: What do you think of all this BSE talk then? The other cow looks up and replies: Doesnt affect me, Im a fucking duck. At the moment Im tired of my English Lit course. I quite fancy quitting and doing a foundation art course. Itd be a massive step backwards because it would mean living at home again for a year and eschewing all the freedom I have in Sheffield, but I want more creative control whats the point in my being here if I cant write how I want? What do you reckon? Im going home for the holidays about this time next week. I cant decide if Im quite looking forward to it or not, last weekend I spent in Birmingham I stayed over at my friends house both nights, only seeing my family fleetingly. I feel a bit guilty about that. One of the ideas I had was that everything you ever said be taken down by some device which would then print out your words in light grey ink on an old dot matrix printer, on the long joined up reams of paper with the faint green print on the back, and everything you had said over the course of a month would be mailed out to you in print form, but minus the original context, so it would just be your own isolated words staring back at you. Reporting Back. I met another list member from Sheffield. Neil. That was nice. Hi Neil. You know that thing people sometimes do, where they exchange phone numbers, knowing full well that neither will call, just so it appears as though they have lots of mates when scrolling through their numbers? I dont do that. Whats the name of that colour that exists where green, grey and brown overlap? My old German teacher used to have a dress in that colour. We could never decide which it was. Debating that was more fun than Grammatik anyhow. This is another toothpaste question. It's another Venn-Diagram thing (some info on John Venn here: http://sue.csc.uvic.ca/~cos/venn/VennJohnEJC.html) It's another duck/rabbit old woman/young woman candlestick/two faces thing. My brother and I used to have big mock-shouty arguments about those where I would insistantly yell "It's a candlestick!" and he "It's two faces!" thus debunking the notion that the whole point is that it can be both. We were philosophers before our time. Did I tell you that the lead singer from the 80s Matchbox B-line Whatever spoke to me the other day? He had just done this terrible gig which I had unfortunately witnessed, hes such a poser I dislike descriptions like this, but theyre a band for people who pretend not to like metal. I like metal. He was lost and couldnt find where his bus was parked. I told him the way. He singled me out, though, from amongst a whole load of people. Perhaps I need to change my image. I suppose I should comment on S*g*r R*s. Actually, no. I wont. Relationships with the people here remain strained the talk has turned to who and where everyone will live next year, unfortunately excluding myself. Not that I mind. I might not even be here next year and I have people to live with if I am anyway. But nonetheless, Very tactless of them. Word Count. Please excuse my brevity. Have a happy Christmas if I dont write before then. - Kieran p.s. I remember ages ago when we were on holiday somewhere, on the beach. When it was time to go home I took a stick and dragged it through the sand as we walked back up towards our caravan. When we reached the edge of the beach and I was forced to abandon the stick I looked back and the little trail I'd left seemed to stretch on for miles. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Sinister: What? I thought she was dead, or summit.
by Sam Walton 06 Dec '02

06 Dec '02

So, Sinister, hi. Before I begin, Ian said: >>it isn't acceptable to tell us you're going to be on the TELEVISION and >>then not tell us when we can tune in and watch it... details please! Well, I don't know when I'm gonna be on, either. I don't even know when I'm gonna record the show yet - apparently I get three weeks notice. And then I probably have to wait until Channel 4 decided to show the show. But don't you worry, Sinister, when I know when I'm gonna be on the telly, you'll know too. ///WE ARE THE SELF-REFERENTIAL SOCIETY\\\ There was a York Sinister Massive pubnic on Wednesday afternoon. Six of the YSM made an appearance: myself, Featherboa, Start Hallifax, Jen Knutsson, Gina Titchener and James Thorniley. It was a pleasant affair - beverages drunk included BEER, COKE, ORGANIC HOT CHOCOLATE and HERBAL TEA, and institutions patronised included BARS and PUBS - and we ended up in some strange hippie colony of a bar where you could play the piano, trumpets and the guitars that were lying around. Much fun. In said hippie colony we paid a pound to Amnesty so that we could carve a not-remotely-cliquey message about Sinister into the table. I won't tell you what it said though; you'll have to visit us to find out. ///THE LONELINESS OF AN OUT-OF-WORK THESP\\\ There was a trailor on BBC1 last night for a new drama-type thing with what?-I-thought-she-was-dead-or-summit poncey actress Enema Thompson. The reason I mention this is because the soundtrack to the trailor was "Fiction" from the Storytelling album. Observant sinisterines may note that this isn't the first time that Auntie has used B&S. Go on, let Carsmile refresh your memory: http://www.missprint.org/sinister/mhonarc/200110/msg00064.html. Lovely. ///END BIT\\\ 'tis all. I "love" *you*.

Sinister: you have nothing to live up to, you have nothing to live down
by ian 06 Dec '02

06 Dec '02

firstly, sam walton... it isn't acceptable to tell us you're going to be on the TELEVISION and then not tell us when we can tune in and watch it... details please! hannah, and anyone else who cares, there was a sinister bowlie list run last year. run by mr daf. moore. perhaps he will advertise it this year? i'll leave that up to him. right, on with the usual waffle. some of it is actually about b&s, yknow.. ---------- the sinister void is legendary. a great, gaping black hole somewhere to the south of aberdeen, it swallows up all the replies you HOPED you'd get to your post.* it has been a hungry beastie of late, i'm sure. depressed at the number of people hitting 'delete' one line into most of my posts, i decided to seek advice. thankfully, it was freely available. but i didn't ask the man who stands on the bull ring bridge and shouts about jesus. his advice is usually 'cleanse yourself of your sins' and it would take a fucking HUGE bar of soap to do that. instead, i found a nice man in birmingham rag market. he sold me a magic mirror. for just 2 squids, AND he threw in a free plastic bag. apparently, all one needs to do is ask the mirror a question. in rhyme, if possible. i tried: mirror, mirror, on the sofa how do i get a reply to a post on sinista? nothing, for ages. vowing to take it back to the thieving bastard who charged me 2 POUNDS for it, i went to make myself a cup of tea. and dropped it, when i came back to hear: 'ian, if you're not going to challenge me, i'm not going to put myself out to reply in rhyme. especially given the paucity of your effort. wordsworth you aint. in fact, your lyrical construction would make even sylvia plath shudder. anyway, as you so tiresomely asked about an internet list, i'll answer you. no. 1 write a sensible post. don't pretend to be a god, a nun, or an hip-swingy, arm-wavey maracca shakey type of pop star. don't talk about the religious implications of squiggles you found on your keyboard. don't pretend you've been receiving death-threats from archel playforth, when it was she who had to take out a restraining order on YOU........ don't... oh well, you get my drift. no. 2. its a music list. say something about music. no. 3 try not to drift off at a tangent and start spouting pornography' frigging hell. magic mirror, indeed... that piece of junk is going back in the morning. write something about music? what sort of crazy idea is that? but, looking at the recent sigur ros thread on sinister (bloody hell... 'thread', 'sinister'...) it would seem to be correct. and, weirdly, those posts were interesing to read too. who would have thought it?? write something about music.. god, that's a challenge... music, music, music... well, music,...errr....its nice, isn't it? madonna thinks it makes the people come together. which is always a good trick. at least one of you doesn't vanish off to the bathroom to grab some tissue while the other one lies there feeling abandoned and pissed off... (number 3.. try not to drift off at a tangent and start spouting pornograpy. bugger) can madonna's opinion be trusted? this is the woman who once sang a song about saying farewell to a PIE. also, she's shagging guy ritchie which isn't a good sign. let's pretend, for the purposes of this post, that she doesn't exist. -------------------- 'music'...too broad a subject, maybe...let's be more specific. 'belle and sebastian have become utter pish'. i suspect the person who typed this is still reading the archives, looking for some controversy he might have stirred up, so i won't mention his name. utter pish? i looked up 'pish' in the dictionary. it said 'like piss, but scottish'. oh. well, some people think piss is great. the woman in the hippy shop in moseley told me i should drink my own, three times a day. but then she does tend to talk crap. belle and sebastian = piss... hmm.. clearly that isn't true. piss is yellow. belle and sebastian are not. case closed. then again.... maybe its time to say it..... i thought 'storytelling' sounded half-developed, like a band chucking out something for their fans, and saying 'will this do?'. i've been disappointed by their recent live performances. i think its sad that isobel left, (although at the time i thought it was good, because when you're on stage you really shouldn't have someone at the front, yawning throughout for all the audience to see, because if you can't even be excited about your own music, how can you expect other people to be?) err...where was i...oh yes... but now... i think its sad ....about isobel's departure... if struan was the brain of b&s, isobel seemed like the heart, at least to begin with, in those glory days and crazy crazy nights.. ZESE ARE CRAAZZY CRAZZY CRAAAZZY CRRAZZZZY NIGHTS ZESE ARE CRAZZZZY CRAAAZZY CRAZZZZY CRAAAZZZY NIGHTS oops... i'm sorry. i don't know what came over me. (number three... don't go off at a tangent, and start spouting pornography) err... where was i? oh yes, isobel...the heart. but i think, if you'll let me stretch my metaphor, the heart was broken. are they now a band without a heart? or has the jackson transplant been successful? either way, there's no denying they've changed. no matter how much struan protests he hasn't ('how could i?' more easily than you think, dear.) would i join a b&s mailing list now? yeah, why the hell not? they're not my favourite band any more, but they're still...yknow...okay and if that isn't damning them with faint praise, i don't know what is. would i vote for them, as suggested by michael ashbridge, in peelie's festive fifty? abserlutely no way.. in a year when beth gibbons has released 'mysteries', a song so beautiful, it should be put on display and people should be FORCED to go up to it, and lick it..., when jad fair and teenage fanclub released the ridiculously infectious 'near to you' and where the cheeky girls have released the deceptively understated 'we are the cheeky girls' (watch this pair- gay icons in the making..) it really wouldn't be right to vote for 'i'm waking up to us'. (plus, i think the last b&s single came out in 2001. which is a good reason not to vote for it.) but i'm looking forward to the peel acres show. especially them (err... this is going to sound exceptionally twee, but RAH for tweeness) singing carols. their version of 'oh come, oh come emmanuel' was my favourite track on that xfm christmas album that came out a couple of years back.. err... except isobel sang on it. and she can't do that any more. bugger. the petition to bring her back starts here. i'm going to throw away all those copies of the last petition, the one to get rid of her. i really miss her yawney doe-eyed heavy-breathey ways. (not enough to buy a gentle waves album, don't be silly). if they got pigeonholed as 'twee'.. well, i never thought that was a particularly bad thing. i always liked their refusal to be hard in the face of the world. that was one of the things that set them apart from their contemporaries. that was one of the things i held up to be admired when people started their 'the smiths were much better' rants. i've always been a romantic fool. and i like my musicians the same way. i saw a boy who was walking through selly oak carrying a big teddy bear, and wearing a parka yesterday. he looked so pleasingly twee that i wanted to run up and hug him. there was i time, way back in 1999.. when the first bowlie occurred, and people came from ALL OVER THE GLOBE to the special belle and sebastian festival, that it seemed like that sort of softness could RULE THE WORLD. or at least find its way into popular culture for a bit, and produce a generation of softies. i wish it had done so. a look at the line up for this years bowlie shows what really happened. apparently, according to the web site some of the chalets have started to sell out. i can only assume that this is a LIE. but perhaps i should accept that its true, and that the likes of wevie stunder are the way forward.. no more tweeness, any more. but i still want to go, because of what it once was, not what it is now. hang out with a bunch of softies (because most of you are, whether you admit it or not) and sit on the beach. sod the bands, dream of a gentler world. one where laughing groups of over-aged 'boys' and 'girls' skip up the beach together, holding hands, and swinging their 'hello kitty' pencil cases. it still could happen. ----------------------------------------- number four, said the mirror, name your post after an obscure indie song. maybe even make a reference to it in your post.... err... emma's house is empty, so why do i call it emma's house done xx ian * of course, it isn't a black hole. a void cannot, by definition, be a colour. so let's just say that its very, very dark.** ** err...actually, IS black a colour? somebody once told me that it wasn't. but i think they were INSANE. i have a black jumper, and it certainly SEEMS to be a colour, but perhaps i'm deceiving myself. ------------------------------------- at least morrissey observes a considered silence and spares us all from him being a bloody pansy. anon ------------------------------------- +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Greetz from Argentina
by Francisco López 06 Dec '02

06 Dec '02

So, after these two weeks reading all of these lovely messages by all of these lovely people, i've finally got a voice. And, after i start to shout a lot of non-sense that doesn't get anybody interested, i thought i'll introduce my self. I'm a little Argentinean boy (maybe you have heard about us, we are a small third worlded country in south america), who have recently turned to 17, recently turned to vegetarianism, recently turned to a belle and sebastian lover and recently turned to a big depressive pink cat... I tend to read (a lot), listen to silly and sensitive music, try to draw silly and sensitive comics, try to play silly and sensitive music with my bass and i also tend (a lot) to use the word "silly". I'm not very drafted in the whole "being a social person" thingy -at least no face to face-, so i write a lot in my computer, and hope someone will be interested (usually this hope crashes with the reality, but what the fuck...) Well, in order to not get anyone bored with my non-sense babble at my first post, i'll say good bye... Remember to be sweet with your mummies... Little kisses all around your bodies, Silly Fran PS: Sorry for my shitty english, it's not my natural language +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: the endless possibilities of apple butter
by Kevin Hyde 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

Hey everybody, All this Christmas swapping of presents has managed to re-energize me, and alert me to the fact that I have far less money than I wish I did, which is pretty much always a problem. However, I'm on the cusp of presenting the local well-to-dos with a business plan that I think could very well, and without exaggeration, take care of me and my lisper's-kiss kith, and hanger's on, etc for the forseeable future. It involves combining the inexplicable pull of apple butter with the hopefully-quickly-dying garage rock revival, in the following way: the base flavor (apples) will be combined with other, slightly quirkier flavors, in a similar manner to various other products on the market (viz. Tropicana's twister, Goober's ontological nightmare of jelly + peanut butter in the same unholy jar, etc.) My three prototype flavors are these: Grap-Apple Stranglehold (has a picture of the four remaining Strokes on the front)- Grape Apple Asp-Apple Crotchkick (features a non sequitur lithographical rendering of actor Michael Ironside)- Asparagus Apple Rasp-On-Apple Claviclebreak (an impressionist style portrait of the lead singer of the Donnas)- Raspberry Onion Apple All I need is about 5000 USD for the start-up capital, and I'll be set. This email roughly approximates the letter I sent to the President of the United States, in which I also remarked that I enjoyed his socks and inquired as to where I could pick up a pair as snazzy as those sported by the leader of the only country listed in the "Hot" column of Vogue's "Hot or Not" article. The other 'scheme' I had involved manufacturing t-shirts that had a picture of a velociraptor on the front, eyes hidden behind a pair of jauntily-worn ambervision sunglasses, holding a bag of candy in its left claw, with the caption "sexual predator" beneath it. The focus group I consulted, which consisted solely of people at a nighborhood bar, felt it was perhaps too ahead of its time, and that I should wait to spring it upon the consuming public. In other news that no one could possibly find interesting, one of my best friends is in Kenya, and is studying the runners there- more specifically, their religion, which is an intriguing mix of Christianity and animism- and has found time to be a Teacher's Assistant in a philosophy of science class at the university. The students in the class have nicknamed him "Professor Mzungu", which he claims would be the equivalent of calling an African American teacher here "Professor McBlackmeister". Dan, my friend, said he has had little luck in trying to get them to switch his nickname to something slightly less racially-based, like 'Megatron'. There was a point to this email, and I think it should be patently obvious. Anyway. Looking forward to sending off my presents, and in return, lord willing, receiving brown paper packages of foreign pornography. sleep tight everyone, Kevin +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: na brilhants suu cap
by Dirty Vicar 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

There's been a lot of talk about Sigur Ros lately. My official line on the Ros is that they are great live but a bit disappointing on record. Certainly, I bought their first album on the strength of a live show they did supporting Godspeed You Black Emperor! here once. The concert was amazing, coupling their otherworldly music to footage of Iceland's lunar landscape. Deadly buzz. But the record, nyeh, not so good. It all sounded a bit weedy and wibbly, and it has received little airplay on Vicarage FM. meanwhile, Shannyjean shaid: > word of warning: do not do not do not buy the album called something blah > blah "angels," a joint effort with a holger hoemloersternstein or something. > it's truely awful. i'm sorry. i don't mean to be a putz, i just don't want > you making the same mistake i did. it is bad. bad bad bad. blagh. I beg to differ. I think I bought that disc at one of their concerts (it has no printed information on it and a plain white sleeve), and I rate it much more highly than their first proper album. Is that guest singer the volkish Icelandic singer who guested with them the second time I saw them live? he is great, a man possessed of a doomridden voice suited well to incomprehensible Icelandic folk tunes that sound like they are about freezing to death or having to eat decomposing sharkmeat. Great stuff, I think I'll put it on now when Viva Hate finishes. What I like about that record is the way it meshes modernist avant garde music with traditional tunes. It reminds me a bit of "La Novia" by Acid Mothers Temple. As you know, Acid Mothers Temple are the Japanese space rock sensations who all live in a commune together. "La Novia" is a record they did of Occitanian folk tunes. It's all about the suppression and extermination of the Cathars by the Catholic French in the mediaeval period, and it gamely mixes traditional southern French music with space rock *and* throat singing. I heartily recommend it. I was in Manchester a few weeks ago, meeting the other B&S fans. They seemed very nice, and I even exchanged some pleasant words with The Adversary. Menswear were not mentioned, but we did all have a larf when the club we were in played Lazy Line Painter Jane for the second time, cause a stampede of twee fuckers to the dance floor and the rank terrorisation of the less fey locals. T-b-t bless them. and may T-b-t bless you too. DV P.S.

Sinister: painting & kissing
by dafyd strange 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

hi, i have to say im not a big fan of the winter,it leaves me rather cold *natch*. The air may be crisp and feel fresh on your lungs but it still feels cold and unforgiving on one's face. I have painted a rather bleak unforgiving view to winter thus far but believe its about to get a whole lot better (or worse depending on the way you look at the next thing i say), imagine if you would a way to warm your heart and soul by being a little creative in these unforgiving early December days. Well your answer could well be found here http://www.friendsoftheheroes.co.uk/competition/ . Hopefully this will ease a few of you great kids through these daunting early nights in December where the wind chill steadily knocks tempretureture down, its gets dark at about 4 , & rain instead of snow. I hope this phasn'tasnt depressed any of you,im just not a big fan of the winter months but i really hope everyone has a darling Christmas and a good new year as i probably wont post before either of these events! cheers, D x x x __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Sinister: Scotland, for the countdown
by Rob Coppedge 04 Dec '02

So, I've been lurking in the shadows for almost a year... nearly writing to thank so many of you for such interesting posts and stories, but never "getting around to it". Sadly, it is opportunism that finally makes me raise my head... please don't think less of me for following my introduction with a shameless cry for help.... HELP! A friend and I will be in Edinburgh for New Years, and are looking for recommendations on where we can find good music, nice people and a few beers... especially interested in any information on any good concerts around town on the 30th of Dec - 2nd of Jan.... So, that's me being shameless... any help will be appreciated... and you will have complete reciprocity when you visit Washington, DC. Or Nashville, TN. Or, really anywhere that you probably aren't dying to visit... Nice to meet you all.

who has my copy of "the perks of being a wallflower"? if you do, don't worry, i don't want it back now, but i was just wondering where in the world it is. . .i forgot who i lent it to, and who they were going to send it on to after that. that was about a year ago, wasn't it? thanks, and sorry for the meaningless-to-most-of-you post. =) --alyson snowball _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
