Sinister: greetings and salutations
by Kjetil Sandlund 07 Jun '02

07 Jun '02

Hurrah (he said in Hugh Lauriean fashion), I'm out of the nursery. Feeling so adulty all of a sudden, I would consider breaking it of with Aloysius (my darling teddy), if I could stand to see him with another. Anyway... Hello everyone. Thought I'd write a few words about my self, one of my favourite subjects I'm sorry to say, as a form of introduction. I'll try not to make it to AAish. Hi, my name is Kjetil, and I'm a Belle and Sebastoholic... A reviewer in one of our tabloids wrote in his review of FYHCYWLAP that B&S was the favourite band of all "tea sipping literature students." He is of course completely wrong; I myself study art history (although I attended an English literature course at the time) and am outraged to be stereotyped. I live in Norway, more precisely the semi-delightful town of Bergen, were I do my best to waste my time and the tax payers money on a degree only fit for marriage to doctors. I've been a B&S fan since the winter of 98, when I picked up a copy of "If Your Feeling Sinister" of the embarrassing reason that the girl on the cover looked remarkably like one of my infatuations. Strangely enough I loved the music. It was the start of something new, what I like to call "A young lads odyssey of the magical land of indie-a." But now my wandering days are over (geeky, I know), or at least I have a map of sorts, so I don't get lost all the time and can return to loves old. With new determination to be a good B&S fan, I suppressed my fear of computers and joined the weird and the wonderful. So here I am, promising to post more interesting thoughts in the future. Love Kjetil P.S If we've started to discuss who could replace Isobel, I would suggest B&S got Aidan Moffat in, as a guest appearance, to do her bit on the next album. His voice has many of the same qualities. P.S.S I will now express my views on the match so Laurel, don't read on... Hurray (he said, now in a hooligan fashion, followed by a couple of "England, England") +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i'm a blunt being smoked and i can't wake up
by jason.cochrane＠HydroOne.com 07 Jun '02

07 Jun '02

Hello, My name is Jason. i have been reading all of your post for quite some time but have had little to say. So, here I enter sinisterdom..... The topic of love. I think that love does exist, for the most part. But I've yet to experience it in my adult life. I find it hard to commit to love. Love is so fickle. You can't count on it nor should you base your life around it. I think of love as a drug. People that are addicted to heroin are happy if all they have is heroin. Lovee type people are the same. I think the idea of love as a religion is brilliant. Our generation is the first to grow up without religion (particularly those of you in north america like me). We all need something to give our lives some meaning. it's a natural progression that has been in the works for centuries. God is love, love is god. Who needs god when i have love? I find myself wandering the streets looking at girls. I have noticed in my travels that 65% of all girls out in my city are cold assed bitches looking to get filled. i think allot of them have replaced the need for love with the need for approval (or is it just that I walk too much in downtown regions of metropolitan cities?). another 30% of women are hopelessly naive. I've had a hard life this i know, and i have been exposed to things that the vast majority of people never experience, but these girls are ridiculous. These are the girls that get taken advantage of, these are the girls that always end up going home from the party with the friend that just got out of jail (just so you know, massive generalizations are my forte). There is the 5% though that are truly worth your time. However, they are difficult to spot as they can appear to be both naive and cold.... but they are nothing but sweetness. My problem being that they don't like guy's like me. neither do the cold bitches... because as far as filling goes I'm not your first choice, nor the naive for they always find me too harsh, too cynical, too well... mean and manipulative. But they ask for it, she asked for it they all do. I'm starting to sound like Lydia Lunch. So i'll come off it. to tell you all the truth i don't know what love is. The sustainable kind anyway. I'm all about crushes, and I gots a trunk full of dem. -Jason P.S. Belle and Sebastian content: Storytelling = too much money for what it is. Which is a glorified EP. i won't buy it until it's on sale or something. If I'm going to pay for an albums worth of music. I want an album's worth of music. Do your self a favor and go buy 16 records from the dollar bin. Chances are you will be more entertained. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i think i'm without responsibilities
by Paul Arathoon 07 Jun '02

My copy of storytelling cost.... £0.00 ($0.00, 0.00)! beat that...I got my copy free, gratis, no service charge, not a penny. I didn't even have to leave my house, it turned up on my doorstep via Royal Mail (or rather Consignia) a while ago and has since been transferred to minidisc. It now illustrates my journey on the northern line everyday. When the tubes work well, Big John Shaft ends just as I am getting out in central London. When they don't I can just start to listen to it again which is obviously a shame. For anyone who is interested there is a newish Audiogalaxy group called belleandsebastian. It's good because from there I have so far got: B&S live in Stockholm, the Paris Rex, and Amsterdam plus random covers such as The Boy With The Thorn in His side and Everyday people. Audiogalaxy is probably going soon due to the RIAA lawsuit against them. Doesn't bother me much, it's always been legally dubious. I'd better go and get rained on. The british summer is here again. p. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Mr Whiplash
by Mark Casarotto 07 Jun '02

07 Jun '02

Morning. At 7.46am, even Nigeria Vs Sweden is having difficulty keeping awake, so a quick post might be just the ticket. While Matthew Henderson is indeed a cosmopolitan, kooky-girl-attracting hunk, I was slightly disturbed by his repeated assertion that everyone (other than the hard kids, like Laurel, or Amy, say) on the sinister list is shy and/or twee, and the acceptance, even vindication therein. Shyness isn't per se a *bad* thing, but it can make life very difficult for those afflicted, as well as for those around them. So I feel a little uncomortable when people seem to be suggesting celebrating our shyness, or defining ourselves through it. There are SO MANY marvellous qualities demonstrated by even the self-confessededly timid people on sinister and in #sinister that it seems a shame to focus on an aspect that's so limiting. Of course, as some of you may know, shyness is something I don't demonstrate a lot of in Sinisterland. Real life, however, is pretty different, so I'm not being quite as hypocritical as it may at first seem :-) Tweeness is a different matter. I see it as a state of contrivance, and there is seldom anything good about affecting a pose. Just my tuppence'th. Anyway, lecture over, and for those of you who think I'm a self-important prick, you'll be cheered by the fact that I had a scooter accident yesterday, and blimey, do I feel sore today! Hurray for helmets, though, and for jeans and winter coats - if yesterday had been much warmer, I'd have been in a lot more discomfort :-) Oil patch, rain, swerving to avoid speeding vehicle, skid, crash, ouch. In a brief couple of seconds I've made my bike almost unsellable :/ A bit of a negative post, this one, so sorry about that. Hopefully there'll be another post along soon from, say, the delicious amykins, to prick up your passions... Ho hum, Mark xxx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: we climb and climb
by Stefano [Steady-State] 07 Jun '02

07 Jun '02

Dear Sinisters >>>leaving the country<<<<< As long as Jeremy, I’m also going to leave the country...mhmhmhm.... in.....2 hours or so...So, this is going to me my last post from the kingdom at least for while, which can either be, only a week, 10 moths to be spent in the mountain infantry, or even a longer period to be spent wherever doing whatever, and might be finally learning to play football, so that I could help the sinister team to beat the vegan at in a future Sunday picnic And, even if I’m not the one who’s good in those things it is time to thank all who had meet, or I have not. Please know that I will miss you. I will deeply miss you. Take care Stefano PS[& B&S content.. for a while]: Isobel. We’ve been listening to the disappointment about Bell’s attitude on US stages, I think a kind of discomfort was even tangible in the european shows, personally I have been only at the Brixton’s one, and some friend reported about the italian gigs. We were all amazed being the first time we have ever seen B&S and obviously being something we have waited for a long long time.... and I think this is one of the problems. We as fan would love the band to be on stage, might be any single day, but what for the people on the stage? Don’t you think that all it was too much for a kind of a shy and blushing temper as Isobel? Personally I love the gentle waves record, and look forward to her future releases but most of all wish here all the best and happiness. As well as to you sinisters... I know I’ve said it already.... Luv, stef PSII: I’m going to miss the match as well as my plane is landing at 13....s**te//// Here's a prediction: when you have stories to tell, you'll tell them.

Hi there, y'all. This is my first post, just saying "Hello, I'm out there" or "out here" or whatever. I'd say something intensely interesting about myself, but there aren't any, really. I'd say something intensely interesting about love, but staring down the eve of my 24th birthday, I don't think I can say anything at all about it, never having been there. Hmm... Maybe I did manage something about myself. I'm glad I'm not the only one disappointed by Bel's departure. I quite liked "Beyond the Sunrise" -- too many hours studying English Lit? -- and I didn't even managed to feel gypped by her absence in American show. They *were* still very good, after all. Perhaps I should work to be surlier. ;) So is there anyone out there from the South? I'd ask about North Carolina, where I live now, but I don't want to push my luck too far. I sincerely apologise for the lack of clever screen name. Jay -- "Knowing? That's easy. Everyone does that ad nasueum. I just sort of hope."

Sinister: scared to read sinister
by laurel lemming 07 Jun '02

hello, sinister. just a little tiny post. (I don't know what the policy might be here on spoilers but I thought perhaps it might be nice if anyone talking about the World Cup matches would warn in their post BEFORE they gave away the outcome of the game, for those of us who have to watch them delayed in the states. not that anyone's done this but I am so looking forward to England *crushing* Argentina after '98 and I'd prefer not to know the score...or maybe I should just not read sinister for a few weeks?) love, lem __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Hi All, Its OK, its brief. Dean wrote: "5. Have you noticed the back of storytelling, the woman who is getting acupuncture (i think) has got her tit out unless I'm highly mistaken.

Sinister: I might have picked up the record for the lowest price! -and other news
by Ramesh Srivastava 06 Jun '02

06 Jun '02

$8.99! (about 6 pounds 50p)! Wait, is there any sort of contest going on here, or am I full of shit? If the answer is b, then ignore the former, and move to the news. I have a job in construction. IT's a bit monotonous and hot, but the money's swell. I happen to like the new B&S album very much, especially "Consuelo Leaving." I am sad about Isobel, especially for my friend Jennifer, who is really sad about Isobel. I really like my new Stone Roses record. I could really use a flatmate at Glasgow Uni for the fall. There are hypothetical plans with another girl we all know, but I can't say I know if that's working out, as she's been out of contact. I am working to make a record that I don't know if I will ever make, though my birthday is coming up, so maybe a bit of help from my parents. They've always been great before. I have recently figured out how to get sound into my headphones from my computer, so that's lovely. I am trying to finish two books simultaneaously, which is hard, especially since I work nine to five, and then usually have beer in the university area to unwind. Isn't that called alchoholism? Hmmmmmmm..... not really. Anyway, I really like the New Order song "Temptation," and if anybody has any other New Order favorites, they should let me know.

Hello! Sorry about this. Sometime ago, a nice man, who might have been called Matt (?), possibly from Norwich, sent me a nice tape ' a shrinking world' it came free, but he asked for some cash toward postage. I really meant to get round to sending some, but I lost the address, this has been playing on my conscience for a while now, so erm.. perhaps if anyone knows where I can send some money, please let me know!
