(Reporting back...)
On sinister's 5th Birthday Auntie Sadie brought the adorable
5 year old a great big present inside a great big box! Inside
it was something pretty sepecial - it was a camcorder that's
shaped like a pen! What's more, instead of battery powered,
it eats up ink like there's no tomorrow.
And that was just after I bought 16 batteries for a quid on
Tottenham Court Road - it was okay though, because a boy had
nipped down to WHSmith's and got some ink in time to make a
film.
I plugged the tape into the player and turned on the telly
and gasp! It was porno!
Then I realised that I put in "Star Trek - the next penetration"
tape in by accident.
So instead I put in the Sinister tape into the recorder, and
GASP! It was porno! Just after I pressed play, I was greeted
by a naked young man putting on a pair of Spiderman pants! Not
only were they red, if you pause the tape and look closely you
can see something that you really don't want to see, and also,
that the label of his pants said 7-8 years old, and that's pretty small!
Soon after that all I could see was Highgate tube station
bopping up and down - it looked like the boy hadn't found the
stabiliser button yet as he walked to the station - he then
took a look around to see if anyone were to follow him there, there
wasn't - but then! When he looked forward again Sam Walton
appeared on the screen, who said "alright!"
Abruptly (the crossfade button didn't seem to have worked),
the scene changed to two gorgeous girls and a gorgeous boy
sitting at a table outside a pub - one of the girls, who was
wearing a very nice Red T-shirt, had multiple pints of beer
lined up in front of her.
The boy seemingly had forgotten to press pause when he placed
the camera on the table, and thus recorded all of the random
yet witty conversations that occured. For some reason though
the camera was pointing directly at a girl's boobs all that time.
"Oh shit!" we heard from the boy before the scene once again suddenly
changed, this time to a beatuiful view of London - gorgeous
girls all on the top of a hill - shame about the buildings
in the background which looked ugly in comparison.
Many people there looked very shy and quiet, until a little
girl climbed onto her daddy's head and said "Hello Everybody!"
to everybody, and they all smiled and waved back at her.
The camera then just spent the whole time either wandering about
the hill, or getting put onto the floor and filming a wine
bottle being picked up - how artistic! Until we then all
followed the camera running down a hill and eventually coming
to a halt, with a boy in purple trousers shouting "WHERE SHALL
WE PUT THE GOAL?" before explaining how he didn't want to get
his new glasses smashed.
Wow, the next half an hour was pure excitement - 30 minutes
of pure soccer action - until we see the same guy in the
purple trousers kicking a football really hard, and in a
typical You've Been Framed stylee, the ball hurtled right
against the lenses of the Camera!
Either because of that football incident, or because the
boy has once again showed his cinematic flair by putting
on a special lens that are known as "Beer Googles", everything
looked slightly tilted from then on and the auto-focus
function went haywire. We then heard a wise man's voice
saying "Let's go to the Betsey Trotwood!"
After a beautiful shot of a tube train arriving we filmed
a train bobbling up and down through a tunnel - apparently
someone else had made a even better film involving a man
from Birmingham performing Pole dancing, against a pole on
the tube train, but that's a totally different movie.
Soon after the film started to turn surreal - it was as if
someone was dancing to some great music whilst holding a
camera, whilst shouting "COME AND DANCE!" really loud
repeatedly and annoyingly.
Then, finally, probably, the best moment in the film, an
ambient chorus of "Happy Birthday to you" was the only
thing that could accompany the exceedingly delightful
chocolate cake, on it were five candles and letters that
wrote "Sinister Happy 5th Birthday".
A boy took a deep breath and managed to blow the candles
out, then everyone cheered whilst he was catching his
breath. The cake was then stabbed in an evil manner by a
knife on a bikechain, before being cut into bits and
eaten - how sinister!
And then there was a scene of people bopping up and down
to some top tunes, and we can hear the boy go "ohhh on
more pleeeeease" as the camera turned to the barman who
said "Can you make it the last song please?". And "Happy
New Year" by Camera Obscura faded into The Boy with the
Arab Strap.
The last scene of the film was yet another of a tube train
this time heading towards Highgate - and seemingly the boy
had finally found where the fade out button was....

If anyone in Australia wasn't listening to the J-File's last night, Richard announced that a Belle and Sebastian is on the agenda! It will be either late this year or earlyish next year I think. I can finally stop writing in the J-File Guestbook once a week. Are any of the other people who kept on requesting a B & S J-file on Sinister?

Hello Sinister.
I finally got back to my house on Monday afternoon, after all the fifth
birthday celebrations. I turned on the radio and was greeted by “Raindrops
Keep Falling On My Head”. It’s such a bloody wonderful tune, and lyrically
is just what I like; IÂ’m a sucker for a lovely melody and a
things-are-shit-but-hey-you-gotta-move-on message. “…I’m never gonna stop
the rain by complainin’…” has been sung in the shower every day this week
(the smart arses among you will no doubt want to tell me that the way to
stop the rain in a shower is to turn off the tap, but anyway), and the song
is generally imbedded in my psyche now.
So hearing “Raindrops…” moved me to dig out my copy of the Butch Cassidy &
The Sundance Kid soundtrack, by Burt Bacharach (from which the song is
taken, natch), and suddenly, whilst listening to it on the bus today, I
realised that IÂ’m a bit bored of songs with words in. What seems to float my
boat these days is musical themes, recurring motifs, dynamics, orchestras,
and not tales of boy-meets-girl in rhyming couplets. Of course, I still
adore songs with words in, but I havenÂ’t heard anything new which makes me
go “wow” for a very long time. It’s probably a phase, and one that will be
shattered by the next B&S release, but for the moment, Storytelling is, by
far and away, my favourite B&S album. I even listened to the other four just
to check, but IÂ’m right, yÂ’know. To me, it just sounds so much more
accomplished, and like a whole album rather than just a collection of songs.
It’s just, well, complete. To those who dismissed it – go on, give it
another try. GÂ’wan. GÂ’wan gÂ’wan. YÂ’willÂ… etc.
My sister gave birth to her second child yesterday, which was rather
amazing. Now IÂ’m an uncle, twice over, and itÂ’s all very exciting. ItÂ’s a
good piece of news, which is rather refreshing given the general theme of
this summer. But IÂ’m never going to stop the rain by complaining, so I
wonÂ’t.
Love
Asm.x
P.S. I was going to write a Birthday Post, with lots of Sinister-related top
fives, but I never got around to it. But for posterityÂ’s sake, here was my
nigh-on-impossible-to-compile TOP 5 SINISTER POSTERS OF ALL TIME (in
alphabetical order):
1. Ian Dimensionflip
2. The Pinefox
3. Archel Playforth
4. Stevie Trousers
5. Peter Miller

HELLOOOOOOOO SINISTER!
I'm writing this just as a reminder to anyone in the Los Angeles
area, so if that's not you, don't bother reading any further and I'll
try not to include any of my hilarious* puns or phrases that you
might feel you missed out on later!
Alrighty then, You might remember that Ben Apps and I are trying to
organize a Red Knicker Day Picnic, and afterwards, attending the L.A.
Galaxy Soccer Match--this Saturday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Even
if you never ever post, we'd love to see you there. I'm quite
serious. Even if you can only come for the picnic part, or only for
the soccer part, we'd be so excited if you'd join us! Bring friends!
The plan is this: We shall meet at GATE A of the Rose Bowl at 3pm. I
am recognizable by my short shaggy turquoise blue hair and my clean
close shave. Ben is not recognizable by either of these things, but
he'll be there, too. We hope to find a nice shady patch visible to
Gate A to spread out a blanket and enjoy a nice picnic. This means
that if you're planning to attend, you should probably bring
something to eat and/or drink (hence the name "picnic"). Red knickers
are optional, but a lot of fun to wear, so I would recommend it.
Around 6 pm, we will be thinking about organizing some ticket
purchases for the L.A. Galaxy match for that evening. If you just
want to join us for the soccer, then if you arrive by 6, we should be
in good shape. The game should be over by 8:45, and you should be out
of there by 9:15 (I'd say at the latest), depending on traffic.
Tickets may be purchased for $13 - $20 but we will work that out when
we're all present as I know that there will be 2 season ticket
holders in attendance (woo! Joe! Adrian!) Ben's plan is to start some
good ol' fashioned British-stylee football chants to the tune of B&S
songs... we'll see how this goes down. At the very least it will be
entertaining to watch Ben do it. Plus, some of the other fans in the
stands will be almost as engrossing as the game, so even if you don't
follow soccer, you'd probably have fun anyway. It's an experience.
Oh, and this is also your last chance to meet Ben this summer before
he returns to London. Sure, he'll be back sometime towards the end of
the year to stay and marry me, but "vacation Ben" is so alluring, you
shouldn't pass up the opportunity to be in his presence!
Let me or Ben (benapps(a)hotmail.com) know if you are planning to
attend either portion of our meetup so we can look out for you, or
even if you're just entertaining the idea. We can try to answer any
questions that you might have.
Savin' all my love for you (and CHU!),
Rachel fruitloop

Happy 5 years to us! i really shouldn't be writing
anything outside homework right now but how can i not
commemorate this special occasion. even not thinking
of the entertainment we have, to do/be with something
for 5 years is quite an achievement in itself!
not having sharp enough memory/language skill to
effectively decribe my impression of the good time
here, the only thing i can do is send Thai news
again. this time is about a bus (probably the most
b&s related thing i've ever write!) the tv news
today have a report on this bus that could be called
a mobile Stars in Your Eyes. the bus driver and
the bus conductor like singing very much. they
decided to equip their bus with full karaoke devices
- tv, vcd player, sound system, microphone (wireless,
if i see correctly), bus (pun by foreigner!) loads of
karaoke songs in many kinds of music. the bus conductor
will announce from times to times if any passenger
would like to sing and which song, then arrange
singing queqe so that everyone will get to sing
before the bus reaches their destination. then
the news show clips of passengers singing. then
the bus conductor singing. too bad the driver
don't get to sing too. he must sacrifice for
the safety of the world.
i'm celebrating the 5 years too. because there's no
one else here, i have to celebrate on my own. first
by quiting my painful job, at last! after being
here for five years too. coincidence? probably,
but it's good point all the same. there've been
various outings to celebrate my independence. this
is by all means the most grown up decision i've ever
made in my life. i now finally feel as grown up
as people my age feel, i think. then, Pet Shop Boys
came to town early on. they played loads of new and
old favourites and i was so happy to get to hear
them live. weird that people from different area
of the arena had totally different opinions of
the show. ranging from walking out after 5 songs
to overly overjoy (me!). the length of stay in
the beer garden outside might contribute to that
but not really much.
i'm so looking forward to next week because i won't
have to go to work any more. thus, all the time in
the world to do my beloved homework.
this feels like the beginning of a new era. not just
because of being jobless but also because the tiny
thing that have been annoying my vision for years
have finally been removed today. rather painful but
very good mentally. next goal is to make myself
wear glasses and see the world clearly as it actually
is. actually, i don't really want to see the world
clearer i only want to see the stair clearer and
hopefully less intimidating.
must go back to homework before i start another
diary.
good times to you all,
oon xx

"i miss sweater weather. i miss wearing long woolly scarves with occasional
yellow leaf stacked on it. i miss feeling rain on my face and hands. i miss
the
sounds that wind makes when it's angry. i miss cats meowing to me on dark
alleys. i miss meowing them back. i miss chestnuts dropping. i miss piles of
colourful leaves and me in them. i even miss struggles with umbrellas
outside
in the cold rain. "
Yes, yes, yes! I cannot wait for the autumn. The sun just melts me.
Nothing touches that feeling of the first overcast day of September.
Walking on Hampstead Heath, wrapped in a warm coat and scarf. Stopping at
the top of Parliament Hill to look over the city. Everything looks sharper
and more vivid to me in the Autumn. I feel more awake. Going to Highgate
woods, coffee and carrot cake in the cafe, and then a walk through the
trees. Last year Hazel and I gathered chestnuts from Hampstead Heath and
roasted them at home. I LOOOOOOOOVE the autumn. I've really cheered up
now. Thanks Ulla.

hello,
yesterday was my last day at work. i got sort of used
to going there every morning, so now it feels a bit
strange. i also started talking to people more during
the last weeks. it kind of started getting better. now
i�m at uni library writing this and i think i�d rather
be at work, cos uni doesn�t feel good. and it�s a bit
of a shame, cos i used to love this library, but it
just reminds me of studying, and i�m not certain
whether i want to anymore, to study.
tomorrow is my birthday. it�s also my mum�s birthday.
i don�t really expect to get anything, but i�d like to
get a present though. my parents always ask me what i
want, so it�s a bit boring, cos it�s not a surprise.
i�m a bit scared though, i mean to see whether my x
remembers it, or whether he�ll wish me happy birthday,
but i know that he won�t. and i�m scared how it�ll
make me feel. i wished him happy birthday a month ago.
i�m supposed to go home tomorrow, but i don�t think i
want to.
i bought myself a present though, a cd �white blood
cells� by the white stripes. i took a bath and dragged
my stereos to the bathroom, and listened to it while
bathing and dyeing my hair(red).
last friday i went to see air guitar world
championships and this one architect from london, who
won the competition �played� to that white stripes
song �fell in love with a girl�, and i thought it
sounded so good, so i had to get the cd. i had a
really good time there. and i thought i looked nice, i
was wearing a sfa t-shirt and sandals and a skirt and
a cardigan, and i think one boy looked at me. but i�m
not so sure, cos i was a bit tipsy. but i really liked
being there.
i think i�ll buy myself this one swedish book, it�s a
bit dirty, but i think i should learn the vocabulary,
cos i might (hopefully) some day need to translate
some dirty stuff into swedish, so i should learn.
i think i�ll stop now. happy belated birthday to
sinister too :),
love,
puluxxxxxxx

Hewwo,
Wow. 5 years old. I member when I first joined sinister and I was 14 and it was the second birthday and I didn't get what all the fuss was about. I didn't even own red underwear then. I do now.
So I'm in Philidelphia which is in America somewhere. It's a long story, but I've been here for nearly three weeks now. My friend met a boy on the internet, and flew out to live with him here after she'd only met him twice. And then asked me if I wanted to come visit since I don't really have anywhere I can live because of someone who mostly wants me dead. And so I used up all of my wages from my job which I hated to buy a ticket, then I left there. So a lot of the days I'm sitting in the public library or the municipal services building trying not to watch them making out which gets a bit lonely but hey. Except today I stayed home to play the guitar.
Although soon I will have a place to live. It will be Dundee, because on the 13th I found out that my highers went not too bad so I can go and be a dentist and ask Johnjohn if he wants to be in a band with me.
I thought I'd never ever go to university. I always figured I'd be in a timewarp of high school, getting picked on by the hard kids. But my friend that I'm here with says that at university people don't set you on fire and stuff, or try and kill you so much, and if they do she'll throw them off a bridge or something.
But I have to go back to glasgow soon. It won't be long though so long as I can avoid the person who wants me dead who will be angry at me going to uni because he tried to make me fail my exams. It will be difficult but I think I can do it. I have a birthday soon which means that I can be a hellraiser and go on a bout of underage drinking, and buy oranges and throw them on the road and other rock and roll shennanigans. I don't think I'll have a cake though, since they don't really make vegan birthday cakes.
I'm getting withdrawal for the moldy peaches. They're really really good. They make me smile.
There's a lot of scary weirdos here. Like last week this nutcase came up to me and said he wanted to make a sculpture of me and would I come round to his house. And also some guy started chasing me shouting 'youre beautiful' and trying to touch my hair and i got very nervous. I also acquired a stalker.
I still haven't bought Storytelling because I lack funds. I thought I'd have lots of money from working in New Look for ages but then I went to America instead.
Ok well I'm being quite boring but before I go let me tell you about the kittens that live here. One is called Scorpion and he's cream and he's mental and anti social (so i like him best) and the other one is called Sub Zero and he is all cute and cuddly and he is on my lap right now. I wish I had a baby cat to look after. Although I've got something even better. I've got a tarantula.
Hugs,
Jen
