Sinister: Songs for idiots (round 1)

24 Sep '02

<Narrator> Any of the nine people in the studio here today could win up to ten-thousand pounds. They don't know each other, however, if they want the prize money, they'll have to work as a team, but! eight of them will leave with nothing, as round-by-round, we lose the player voted... <Narrator> THE WEAKEST LINK! <Anne Robinson> Welcome, to THEWEAKESTLINK! <Orchestra> DUM DUM DUM DUM... <Anne Robinson> Let's meet the team. <Orchestra> DUM! <Stuart M> Hi my name is Stuart and I sing in a world-touring pop band. <Stevie> Hi my name is Stevie and I play guitar and sometimes sing in a world-touring pop band <Mick> Hi my name is Mick and I play trumpet and bass in a world-touring pop band. <Sarah> Hi my name is Sarah and I play violin and sometimes sing in a world-touring pop band. <Richard> Hi my name is Richard and I play drums in a world-touring pop band. <Chris> Hi my name is Chris and I play keyboard in a world-touring pop band. <Bob> Hi my name is Bob and I play guitar and bass in a world-touring pop band. <Isobel> Hi.. my <Isobel> ..name is Isobel and I used to .. * isobel catches breath <Isobel> play cello and some... times sing in a world-touring pop band. *Isobel catches breath <Stuart D> Hi my name is Peacock Johnson and you are all bawbags. <Anne Robinson> In each round, the aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach your thousand-pound-target within the time-limit. <Anne Robinson> The fastest way is to create a chain of nine correct answers, get your question wrong and you break the chain and lose all the money in that chain, but if you say "Bank!" before your question is asked, the money is safe, however, you start a new question from scratch. Remember - at the end of the round, only money that has been banked can be taken forward. <Anne Robinson> We'll start with the person whose name is first alphabetically, and that's Bob, let's play.... The Weakest Link! <Orchestra> DUM DUM DUM DUM... DUM DUM! <Anne> Bob, what is the capital of Northen Ireland? <Bob> Belfast! <Anne> Correct!

Peacock, if someone describes you as being on the Sinister side, which side would you be on? <Peacock> Freaky. <Anne> No, the answer's the left side. Stuart, what are the answers to the clues to the treasure hunt? <Stuart> not telling ya. <Anne> No, that isn't the correct answer. Stevie, in the book of bible 1 Samuel, how did Jonathan, the son of King Saul and friend of King David, die? <Stevie> He fell off his wooden horse for two. <Anne> No, he died in battle, Mick, what is the name of the chemical that has the formula C9H13N and is sometimes used as a central nervous system stimulant? <Mick> Amphetaminies! <Anne> No, the correct answer is Amphetamine. Sarah, named the season that should come next in the following logical sequence: spring, winter, and what? <Sarah> Morning. <Anne> It's AUTUMN! Richard, during one of the songs by Squeeze, everybody told the singer that it's cool to be a what kind of domestic pet? <Richard> Cat! <Anne> Correct! Chris, what word can come after both the following words: Jumping, and Baked? <Chris> Beans! <Anne> Correct! <Bob> Bank! <Anne> Bob.. wha.. <Orchestra> DUM.. DUM... DUM DUM! <Anne> The time is up, and you have managed to bank a PATHETIC £50 pounds, who puts the Trash in Trashcan Sinatras, the Bellend in Belle and Sebastian? It's time to VOTE OFF, the WEAKEST LINK! <Jon Briggs> Statistically, Bob is the strongest link, having banked money and answer all his questions correctly, Isobel is the weakest link, having answered all her questions incorrectly and lost the team the most money, but will the voting follow the facts? <Anne> Time's up... it's time to reveal who you think is the WEAKEST LINK! <Orchestra> DUM DUM DUM DUM...

Sinister: Party party party... party all the time
by Fernando Brito 22 Sep '02

22 Sep '02

Sinister! So.... Last thursday I went to this party. They only played old songs, lots of b-sides of famous brazilian artists from the 70s, some of them kinda kitsch, although it was quite good music. But it was mainly brazilian music, no reason for comments about it in this list. But what was more noticeable about that party was the level of liberalization of the use of drugs. You know, if you want to do drugs in a party it must be something that noone can see you doing... some "toilet-drug". In the end you never know how many people are really stoned in a party, or just drunk. But now people are smoking joints among waiters and doormen, and they don't mind at all! Not that I'm complaining, but... I mean... this is strange, isn't it?! And I went to another party last night... weird party! It was like a selection of the worst songs in the last 20 years! And people loved it. And I loved it too! It was weird but it was fun! Speaking of bad songs... I don't know if this is happening only here in Brazil, but now we have a wave of revivals, everywhere you go they play all those kitsch hits from the past, songs that once made me want to puke (and everyone else with the slightest good taste), are now "good" music and people dance it like they had always liked it! And in fact I too dance and act this way! What the hell is going on?! The world is turning upside down or what?! You see, even this pulling thing is inverting. It seems like girls are now more "active" than blokes! Last night it wasn't me who pulled a girl, but a girl who pulled me! And she wasn't even drunk... I guess! And she wasn't ugly either! I know... I never pull girls because I'm too shy... but now it seems that it won't be a problem anymore! How weird is that?! Well, actually... How great is that?! For a shy guy like me, it's WONDERFUL!! But I'm still worried about where this subversion wave is going to take us... the way things are going I think I'll have to move to Afghanistan! I went to another party last saturday, not yesterday, the other saturday (yeah, it's way behind now, it's not news anymore, I know...). It was Ana's birthday. I have already told you about Ana, she's from Sinister, that's how I met her. She never posts! Good party, more weird people and stuff. I managed to break a table in her aunt's house, where the party took place, and also almost killed two guys... but it was cool anyway! I don't know if I should write this here... erm... I hope Carl Brown won't to get mad at me! It's just that Flora told me that she went to the B&S's Rome gig and met Carl Brown there. She said he's a very nice, inteligent guy, etc... but when she told me his name it reminded me a chocolat drink we used to have here called Brown Cow! You know, Carl Brown - Brown Cow... Oh, boy... how silly is that?! Sorry, Carl! Possibly you think my name is a hundred times funnier than yours! Ok. I have to say something about Belle and Sebastian, right? Well... then... let's see... oh yeah! Good idea the Q&A section! I have a long list of things I wanted to know, maybe now... Although our shallow needs for gossipy stuff will certainly not be fulfilled this way... I guess we'll still have to keep checking the Sun's headlines to find something new about them everyday! Ok. That's all for now... Just wanted to say one thing to Caitlin: Caitlin, you're not alone. Surely not. And Arik, I know how you're feeling. Actually I felt sort of the same way last night. It would be easy for me now to tell you what to do, to tell you to say "fuck her", etc, but I won't, simply because I myself never do that. I always do the same thing you do, and always feel the same way. And I'm tired of listening to people come and tell me things like "you have to play the game", "do the same things she does" and so on... I don't do that. I can't. I just get home after hanging out with her and go to bed feeling like a piece of shit or something and even wish I had a gun to blow my head. Fortunatelly I don't have a gun, and I wouldn't have the guts anyway... It's just drunkenness, and in the next morning it's gone. Kisses and hugs, Fernando +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: "I'm going overboard, with a capital, Oh"
by patrick doyle 22 Sep '02

22 Sep '02

Hey ho sinister So my friends have left for uni and Im stuck at K.G.S for another year. A year without the people who share my crappy sense of humour, and childish sarcasm, a year sharing a common room with stinky boy racers and self obsessed girls, who seem to be constantly straightening their hair. It didnt look so bad when Jenna was still at school, my best friend for goodness knows how long, who took about as much shit from the others in my year as I do. Fair enough, I chose to have friends in the year above me, and pretty much distanced myself from the people of my year completely forgetting that they would, inevitably, have to leave for uni at some point. I always assumed, however, that Jenna would be there till the end so you can imagine my dismay when she announced, somewhat out of the blue, that she was going off to study at uni in Aberdeen, thus leaving me with my, you-wont-get-into-uni-with-those, grades from last year. So there we have it, having isolated myself from my year group entirely, I had gone from having the best friends into the world, to having little, or no friends at all. This has meant a lot more use of my minidisc player, and hence, and increase in battery usage (note to self: buy rechargeable batteries). Because I used to use Jennas cable for recording my minidiscs, I now have no means of recording new ones until I can be bothered to get a myself cable, although I cleverly used my last few days with the use of her cable to make some compilations, which should keep me going for a wee while ;) Having no friends to talk to also means I have had more time to read, although this is something we are not allowed to do in the common room, as the common room is used to listen to dance music and talk about cars (sigh) and the library wont let me listen to my minidisc player...whats a boy to do? I have started trumpet lessons, and have had four so far, I have mastered the funeral march (always useful), and can do the trumpet part from the Wrong Girl quite well one day Ill be as good as Mick.... they refused to give me lessons at school, so I had to bribe someone to teach me in their free time and it worked. Hmm, so tomorrow is the start of a new school week Mondays minidiscs shall be the Ramones Pleasant Dreams -Belle and Sebastian Tigermilk -the Smiths Meat is Murder and a Hoagy Carmichael compilation (great) cheerio Patrick x _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Yeah, Norwich?
by Matt 22 Sep '02

22 Sep '02

Just returned to Norwich after a year in leeds doing an MSc. But i am returning to Leeds for one week to move worldly goods back to Norwich. But glad to show anyone round this 'Fine City' when I return next Monday. In the meantime places to checkout, St. benedicts street, you've got Sounclash records for new stuff and Circular Sounds by the pelican crossing for second hand records (buy and sell), there's also The Arts Centre (NAC), I'd pick up a programme as there's a bit going on there too. Indie gigs are generally put on by a group of people calling themselves Wombat Wombat. They have a web site - probably www.wombatwombat.co.uk or something? They put gigs on at The Ferryboat on Kings Street which is near The Waterfront on Kings Street which also put on gigs, but not by Wombat wombat. Wombat wombat also put gigs on at the Arts Centre. Another place, although I've never been to it myself is the Underground club which is held on the last Thursday of each month in Mojo's down Prince of Wales street/road on the way down to the station. The lead singer from Kaito spins the records evidently. Playing music like BS2000, Pavement, Belle and Sebastian, The Pastels, The Pixies and similar. there is a poster on the window. I presume that there will be on of the evenings this coming thursday given it's the end of the month. As for bands to check out: Magoo, PostaLowa, Kaito, Bearsuit, Fiel Garvie and others...

Sinister: Saludos desde España!
by Javier Garcia 22 Sep '02

22 Sep '02

Hi Sinisters! My name is Javier, and this is my first post. I just wanted to introduce myself, and give a short-but-interesting review of B&S's concert at Benicássim. Well, as you guess from reading the subject I am spanish. I joined the list about three weeks ago, and since I haven´t read any post from Spain. Is there any spanish sinister on the list? (other than me, obviously ;-) I remember there was a girl studying swedish. Well, I've been learning swedish too. I really like, and there's a lot of interesting music sang in swedish. If you want to know some bands just ask me. I know the state of the swedish scene ;-) At last, my short review. The concert was held in Benicássim (Spain), the 2nd of August. There were 15 musicians on stage (the band and a string arrangement), and the sound was pretty good! They invited some girls to the scene, and even Monica was there to sing "Lazy Line Painter Jane"!!! Simply great!! The whole concert was brodcasted by Radio 3 (the "pop station" of the spanish national radio), and I got a copy of it. So if you are interested in trading, just write back (it's the only thing I have to share, at the moment) and we'll try to do something. Well, I think that's all. Best regads to all of you! //Javier ----------------------------------------------- "Make a new cult everyday to suit your affairs" _________________________________________________________________ Charle con sus amigos online usando MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Norwich, anyone?
by eric the half a bee 22 Sep '02

22 Sep '02

Heya, I haven't written to you all in quite a while, mostly because I was quite busy finishing school. Nothing interesting has happened anyway, apart from B&S releasing Storytelling. That was quite good. Anyway, are there any sinisterites in Norwich that might like to show me around or get a coffee? All I've seen of Norwich so far, really, is the union bar, and that's not good enough for me. Cheers, Eric __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

22 Sep '02

hey kiddies, sorry about the list abusey nature of this email - i've lurked on the list of a couple of years but am making my debut for un-b&s reasons (selfish ones at that). i moved to glasgow from australia about a month ago with my best bud and her boyfriend, and i'm starting to get depressed that my daily fun starts and ends with a viewing of 'flog it' while they're working. so basically this is a desperate plea for some glaswegians to take me/us under their knowledgable wings and show us the yays and nays of the city. any offers would be muchly appreciated! contact me off the list at ruby_flux(a)hotmail.com or on my mobile: 07811696811 cheers! luv kate _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Gemma
by Simon Fallaha 22 Sep '02

22 Sep '02

Wow. Well everyone, I saw Gemma Hayes last night and it was more than just a pleasant surprise. Her only stop in Northern Ireland on her current tour is the Nerve Centre, in Derry! Amazing. Especially considering that I now live in Belfast on weekdays (I'm now working up there on placement, until next September). There was a good crowd at the Nerve Centre last night (eventually - most were not there to see the supporting acts). I was there for the whole running length, and here's my view... The music was of a generally high standard throughout. We'd two supporting acts. Firstly a pair of unknown middle-aged guys who sounded like Simon & Garfunkel wannabes. Not that that is necessarily a bad thing - their songs had good harmonies and were fun to listen to on the whole. Secondly, an Irish singer/guitarist called Ann Scott took the stage. Previously unknown to me before this, she's actually released an album down south. Her style is pretty much like Gemma's, although maybe a little more downbeat. Her first EP is actually out now - it's called the Pauper Tiger EP, and it's released on her own label, Raghouse Records. She's also recording an album at the minute. I'll tell you what, she has the potential to go far. But what about Gemma herself? Well, she arrived on stage looking quite stunning and to a really loud cheer from the crowd. Right from the opening number you felt this was going to be a good night. More than any other artist I've seen, she attempted to make herself feel at home with us, the audience. Her first question: "Does anyone know how the United game went?" (I did stick my hand up, but she never noticed). Later she commented "We lost". Does this mean she's a Spurs fan, by any chance? Also, she gave out some of her plectrums to some of the crowd. In fact, I picked up one from her, but gave it away to the guy who'd asked for it in the first place (sigh...). Nor did she mind posing for photos demanded by many over-enthusiastic fans. (One of her poses echoed one of Audrey Tautou's funny faces from Amelie). Calls of "Marry me!" rang from quite a few of the lads in the crowd throughout the concert. She took them all with a nod and a wink, and praised us for being such a great audience. It seemed that she was enjoying the concert as much as we were, if not more. The songs she sang were some of the best ones from her album, Night On My Side, and a few from her first two EP's (including 4:35 a.m., the first one I ever listened to). The album's had plenty of praise and success, but many have been surprised by its Mercury nomination. None more so than Sunday Times critic Mick Heaney - he claimed that not only do many Brits not know much about her (no one at work in Belfast had remotely heard of Gemma, and it was only on the bus back home that I found someone remotely interested) but her album was not "new" enough, too obviously influenced by alternative rock. I don't see that as a handicap though. This "influence" may be noticeable sometimes, but her songs do have a certain freshness to them, especially in the lyrics department. Besides, it's a style that's likely to win over many new fans. Yet to be honest, I was actually quite divided on Night On My Side before last night. My opinion was that the first six songs are brilliant but then it kind of meanders after that. Four of those first six songs were in the line up: Hanging Around (probably her most famous song, and a very good one at that), Back Of My Hand (a very catchy and upbeat love song which everyone should almost certainly love), Let A Good Thing Go (here, she ventures into heavy metal territory, and with considerable success. The crowd seemed to love this one more than the others; she even let us sing one line. Admittedly it was deafening, but then that's the idea) and Ran For Miles (slow, but pleasant). Sometimes she wandered into the land of strangeness. Before the song Lucky One, she said "It works best if you close your eyes and pretend you're a bird". Huh?! Nevertheless, I tried it - it was effective, sort of. Ironically, the song is subtitled Bird Of Casadaga, so I shouldn't have been too surprised about that comment. There was also a song called I Can't Find Love ("Awww!" cried many of the fans, until she told them it was about a friend of hers). She did three encores; 4.35 a.m., Tear In My Side and Evening Sun. The first two were pleasant to listen to, and the final song was especially moving. The only complaint that I have is that the concert was too short. At the end, there was a real feeling of anticlimax, and there was no merchandise to collect. Still, you can't have everything, and the concert as a whole is probably the second best one I've seen (behind Belle & Sebastian). I doubt that I was the only one who felt it was all over too soon.

so i'm so mad right now, and i don't know how to even write this email but i don't have anyone else to talk to right now cause it's 3 in the fucking morning so you all are all i've got where to even start. about 3 weeks ago i met a girl, i knew i was only going to be home for a few weeks and that it couldn't really be anything real but she was cool and i liked her and i haven't liked anyone in a pretty long time she likes me too. we've been "hanging out" since then, not a couple, certainly not, but fairly couple like. she's told me that if i was staying she would want to date me, and i think i believe her, i think i do, maybe anyway, i know that she makes out with other people, i sort of knew that anyway, vaguely, and it didn't really bother me cause afterall we aren't dating anyway and i'm leaving for scotland in like 8 days anyway but, fucking but, fucking fucking fucking but she invited me to a concert tonight, sort of, and her friend invited me to a party after it, aparently she didn't want me to be invited but she sure as fuck didn't do anything to stop me from going, in fact it seemed to me in some ways like she was happy i was going so i went to the concert and had a good time, tracy + the plastics, great band/chick, afterwards we went to the party and for awhile had a good time there then i saw her making out with some random guy while i was five feet away, then pull him into the makeout room, then come out and start making out with someone else that i later found out is her ex-boyfriend, then i went outside and stood near them and she took him off across the street to keep making out i don't know what to feel... i know i don't have any um hold over her, that's not really the right term cause you don't own people, i just mean that we are not comitted in anyway, far from it, but we've spent the last 3 weeks seeing each other every few days and there has been a far bit of kissing and the like and i guess i just thought she liked me more than that it's just so fucking inconsiderate, so finally we talked and i said that and she said that she liked me alot and that if i was staying she would want to be with me but because i wasn't she couldn't get attached to me, which i fucking understand, it makes sense, and i told her that i was cool with what she was doing, which i sort of am, maybe, but that i just didn't want to have to see it and she apologized and told me that she hadn't meant for me to see it, and i told her that for the 8 days we had left i would just like it if she would try harder, at which point we left the party she left the party with him, holding hands, i started to walk back with them cause she was going to the same place as my car but when i realized she was taking him back with her i wasn't going to, i said i would call her the next day and she asked me why i wasn't walking with them so i fucking did, and she held his fucking hand the whole fucking way back, didn't say a fucking word to me and when we fucking got back to my fucking car she was like, are you leaving, and i was like what else am i gonna do and she was like well i'll see you later to which i just left maybe i'm just drunk, which i am, but it just seems so fucking inconsiderate, are they back together, i know she wants that, are we done? we were supposed to go to a show together tomorrow, are we not now? i think i will be ok with what happened tomorrow but i'm not sure there is a tomorrow, at least not for me and her i fucking hate this, i fucking hate this stupid fucking bullshit, what am i supposed to feel, what am i supposed to think? what happens now? i'm not going to sleep that's for sure .. arik p.s. sorry, sorry for making you all have to deal with this. tomorrow i will write a much happier message where i beg you all to let me live in your houses in scotland for a brief time, really i'm usually much nicer and ok then this, i promise +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
