Sinister: Boxes and Bags
by MyMomSays＠aol.com 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

Sinister, Just got done watching the Academy Awards--my favorite bit of the ceremony is the people they decide to film in the audience. I like trying to predict who will be shown. "Show Denzel!" "Now show Uma Thurman's overflowing heaving bosom!" "Judi Dench! Show her grimace!" "Now back to Uma -- ooh, quickly pan over to Ethan Hawke and show the BRUISE on his cheek which indicates he was beat up in the parking lot!" Well, most of the time I am pretty right-on. **THE SCIENCE FAIR** Ahhh, it is that time of year children - the time when we all get together a cardboard thingie and paste up shameful photocopies and lug it to our nearest University where we will sit, patiently, for many hours, and explain our Hypotheses to high-heeled judges. Actually, since I am assuming most of us on the list are over the age of twelve, not many of us will be participating in Science Fair season. BUT I STILL WANT TO DO IT! I miss the science fair each and every year, and so I try to muster up the energy to do an experiment. EXPERIMENTS OF YEAR'S PAST **THE FOOD MACHINE** 1999/2000 Science Fair Hypothesis: Foods that are thin and brothy are very difficult to consume in a moving vehicle. Tested: A series of experiments over the duration of six months--switching between brothy consistencies and thicker consistencies. It was found with the test subjects that "runny" food was far more difficult to eat in a moving car than more solid foods. Also--there were a series of "distractions" put to use; one-handedness (other hand was put into a plaster cast to mimmick absence of limb), crying babies, or ringing cellphones. We found the crying babies to be the most bothersome each time. The test subjects failed miserably with vegetable broth in a bread bowl. Subjects' laps were burned by hot broth. Conclusion: Food is very hard to eat in a moving car, especially those of a brothy consistency. Science Fair Rating: Very high--honorable mention, plus gift certiticate to Red Lobster. **THE BABY STOPPERS** 2000/2001 SCIENCE FAIR Hypothesis: The Wright family genes should be put to a stop. Tested: My sister and I planned a roadtrip in a 1982 Station Wagon, packing up candied oranges and sweat suits. We took it upon ourselves to visit the residencies of every Wright member in the neighboring states. We examined our cousins and aunts and half-uncles: the lot of them have greyish-brown hair, plum-shaped noses, and large, engulfing pores that one could lose their handbag in. Upon testing IQ: Found subjects to be somewhat intelligent, but with muffly, slurred speech that made my sister and I to believe that the subjects being tested were of very low intelligence, possibly even borderline retarded. Conclusion: Pointed out each pregnancy, and warned: "I think you should stop that, right now." Science fair rating: Disqualified for use of color printer. **THE IDIOT BOX** 2002 SCIENCE FAIR IN LAMAR COUNTY, COLORADO - THIS COMING SUNDAY! Hypothesis: Does it really take one to know one? Testing: Tested a group of 412 individuals. The tester (that's me!) took each subject, blindfolded them in a paisley-printed silk neckerchief, then placed them in front of a mirror. I then politely asked each of them to touch the glass of the mirror and describe what they saw. Most often, they described a simpler world: "I see a horse, galloping through a field--munching upon grass."; "I see hours"; "I do not see anything--you have me blindfolded." "I know no colors upon these very passing moments." Conclusion: No. It does not take one to know one. Of the 412 tested, not a single one knew their own image. Science Fair Rating: Well, we'll see y'all! Be patient! OH LANDS - is it true ILE got squashed in their football match against Sinister? Outbid, Mandee May "inconsolably okay" xxx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: B&S in remix shocka!
by chris perriman 24 Mar '02

24 Mar '02

hi everybody, just a quickie for a bit of info... apparently snow patrol released a single back in '99 called starfighter pilot which had an accompanying cd of remixes (JPRCDS013R) including The Bad Belle Mix. as far as i can tell this is B&S remix. can anybody confirm this for me as all info on the net about it is a bit sketchy. a swedish college radio station had it on their playlist but thats it. who else have belle 'n seb remixed without my knowlege?, or were you lot all in on it and were just keeping me in the dark? me = paranoid also... are belle and sebastian playing glastonbury this year coz i'm going and i really want to see them. they havent got any dates planned around the end of june according to the website so its still a possibility [/me keeps fingers crossed in hopeless wishful thinking] wow! all content, that should keep the anti-diary contingent happy Pez* PS. are B&S up for an oscar for best soundtrack, and if not why not. PPS. i saw 'B&S' magazine in a newsagent but it didn't stand for what you think it stands for. it stands for Blues and Soul. PPPS. searching for what 'B&S Magazine' was about, google also gave me these B&Ss: Bathiya and Santhush (musicians) Berezhnaya and Sikharulidze (ice skaters) PPPPS. aaaargh! content overload¡¡¡¡¡æææææ¢¢¢¢¢µµµµµ±±±±± Important.

Sinister: OI! we're that more fire crew! (birmingham picnics and the lack thereof)
by ian 24 Mar '02

24 Mar '02

right, as the buddha once said, 'i'm gonna talk fast and not fuck around' that is, i'm not going to waffle in this one that is, i'm going to be brisk and business-like, and not get caught up in any ian-post-meanderings as so often happens. i'm just going to say what i've got to say, and go no farty hypothesising about life no quoting saint etienne rain falls like elvis tears existence is a funny thing, innit? oh, bugger! so... birmingham - to picnic or not to picnic? i get the impression that a lot of people won't be able to make this weekend. partly because i've left it so late and its very short notice, and partly because i've left it so late and its very short notice. i'm sorry. i think a re-schedule might be in order. if you're prepared to trust me again. hopefully next time (may??) i won't have a combination of bleurrghghgh-lurgy and a temparamental isp to contend with, and will get my arse in gear in enough time. forgive me, oh west midlands types. i shall now attempt to draw a veil over my ineptitude and move on to other things: sam walton said: >I was watching Top Of The Pops on >Friday. Mo Fire Crew performed some UK Garage tosh, but it was > >really quite enchanting, they were wearing Sylvester & Tweetie-Pie sweaters and >hats, and spent the entire song clutching their nuts. This amused me greatly. Indeed, >as another member of this parish remarked to me yesterday, viva the Twee Garage >revolution i saw this lot's video the other day, and regret to report that schmindie hip-hop (schmip-mop?) may still be some way off. they look VERY angry and shouty on film. perhaps they were simply scared of the totp audience. i can only surmise that the front row was full of vicious hamsters that looked like the only thing on their minds was nibbling the nuts of a uk garage star. perhaps, on the other hand, they simply can't perform live. having said that, shouting 'OH NO, ITS THAT MORE FIRE CREW' is an EXCELLENT way of confusing people. so they deserve some credit for that. toy stephen talked of mis-hearings. in a similar vein, it was only yesterday that the true awfulness of the P!O!P! I!D!O!L! song revealed itself to me. (for those outside the uk, pop idol was a programme where lots of people competed to be famous and rich, and some of them managed it - mostly the judges, the hosts of the show and the record company managers.) you see, i've been labouring under the misapprehension that the opening line of 'evergreen' was: 'i like the sunrise' fair enough. i like the sunrise too. a bit trite, perhaps. i quite like ice-cream but wouldn't consider that a suitable lyric for opening a song with. yesterday, it became clear that mr young is infact singing 'eyes like a sunrise' now, much as i like sunrises - i could look at them all day - i think this wins an ian award for the STUPIDEST lyric of the year so far. eyes like a sunrise? well, correct me if i'm wrong, but sunrises are red, yellow, orange, a whole combination of beautiful warm colours but NOT the sort of colours you'd want your eyes to be. plus, they wouldn't even be one colour, they'd be a whole assortment of colours, and towards the bottom they'd flood out into a long red line. eyes like a sunrise? what a load of knobend. eyes like a fucking sanitary towel would be a better lyric than THAT. a good job the next line, 'arse like a double-decker bus' was re-written. london... may 3rd... are we meeting before the gig? are we drinking somewhere? i won't offer to organise anything, you'd only laugh. i should go. i said i'd be brief, and i've already been long, john. on a final note: matthew henderson said: >And remember, Don't let your chicken fingers be made by the hands of >oppression. which is, frankly, the most sensible thing i've heard all year. raise yer skinny chicken fingers to heaven, brothers and sisters, let's be free!! tara people ian +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Fingers crossed....
by Jamie Harrison 24 Mar '02

24 Mar '02

....as this is my first post. I have sat in 'awe' reading the interesting and original posts over the past two months, wondering how to follow suit. It can't be done, so I'll just throw myself in at the deep end and hope for the best. Firstly, or is that secondly? I know... get on with it! A warm hello to everyone, just a bit of an introduction here. I'm Jamie, from Hucknall near Nottingham and of a nervous disposition, but friendly enough all the same! It didn't take long for B&S to become an important part of my musical life, after finally buying the 'Lazy Line Painter Jane' compilation last year. This got me hooked and within a week I'd become fully conversant with all albums and singles. I haven't seen them live yet, but intend to correct this before too much longer. Well, that's enough for now I think, hopefully that went ok. Line up for any complaints!!! Thanks for your time, I'll try to work towards something more interesting next post. Cheers, Jamie. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Sexpectations
by toy stephen 24 Mar '02

24 Mar '02

One of my top mishearings was from Expectations, 'And the headset that you always wear, a queer one from the start' I imagined an awkwardly thin girl with those earphones on like Eskimo ear-muffs, dancing around to the Mamas and Papas, her head almost over-heavy from the headset, threatening to drag her head first into the pavement. anyway, this song's dedicated to Bron. The good doctor told her she needs Struan singing for her live and vegan pancakes from the Pick Me Up cafe on North Clark. ------- Sunday morning, it is beautiful, it's grey and there is rain Looking out into the fog, the melting faces on the train, Your clothes look ragged, your gaze happy, and I suspect You haven't slept, messy lipstick on your face Perhaps you're Astrid and you've been dancing with the Belles Your star so lovely, that your age they cannot tell Your obsessions get you known throughout Sinister for being strange Crushing Bobby, and whispering him 'Jag älskar dig.' In the queue of posts, some sour kids have got no appetite Forgetting what it's like to be young and to be tight So they leave the list, they scoff and snarl and go berserk Don't they know that Sinister is just a lovely place to flirt? Hey there's Ken Chu He writes posts, they're the Most Fulluv charm, my nose is brown Soon I'll have something to say When this refrain finally goes away Sunday morning, it is beautiful, it's grey and there is rain e.e. compiles brill haikus culled from our collective brain Spring has come, the tour has started, what can you expect Pre-show meetups, double whiskies and (I hope) hickies on our necks Tell us the setlist, Struan's dancing and Bel's Dylan dress We've got everything to gain 'cause we're easily impressed All the naughty boys and naughty girls that you have snogged We're secretly into S&M and we love getting flogged After the show we lock ourselves away inside a motel room Sing the songs we heard and drink ourselves silly until noon Stumble in our cardies back into the light They think we're twee, we've got to make the bastards think they're right Hey, the sky is blue Like the porn on the tube Are you calm? settle down Chicago's not all gangsters insane For one day Sinister will reign Is this cool? I don't know It's not Gwar or I Love My Car Listen to me here's the end >From a boy neath the smoker's railway arch You're on top of the world a-ghhhhhhhhen. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: horoscopes, easter eggs, jobs, treasure hunts, and auntybots
by idleberry 24 Mar '02

24 Mar '02

hello sinisterettes and sinisterians! A few weeks ago, Kate Keenan off the list pointed me in the direction of a cool site for horoscopes. It was odd, becuase so far, the predictions have been pretty spot on. But the cool thing is, that they have a banner for an ad for another site, and the banner ad is using b+s cover as part of its ad, for "flap your wings child, and cook like its pleasant". Yes, that little heard of other album, the rare one, that I've just made up, as a play on words of their 2000 album with the long winded title. the site with the accurate horoscope, is at http://www.freewillastrology.com/ if you're interested. I dunno if shes back and kicking with a new hip or something, but I noticed auntsadie has gone missing from #sinister. Has she run off with a handsome young man, or is she just down the bingo with the other auntybots? other news: I got a job! I'm starting work at the Scottish Executive (Executive for what? some of you may ask, or indeed, might not care, but its the scottish parliment stuff, if you're curious)as an administrator. it was quite od the interview. It was informal, and there were three people there, and there were three admin posts going, and I don't know quite which one they want me for. I'm pleased though, and start in a few weeks time, becuase its a proper job, with a proper salary, and all the benefit shennanigans that normal people with proper jobs are entitled to (sick pay! holiday pay! woo! don't knock it 'til you haven't had it!) Easter is upon us soon, but I'm not sure when it is, cos I'm never actually sure of things like that. But anyway, I think Belle And Sebastian Easter Eggs are only a merchandising plot away. Peel off the foil, and find Stuarts face engraved in chocolate. Of course, it couldn't be a hollow egg, that would suggest he has nowt up there. maybe it would be filled with magnetic poetry or something. Or money. That would be good. real money, not monopoly money. Chocolate coins would also be an acceptable currency, to turn us all into fat cats. So, what was the prize of the treasure hunt anyway? and what were the answers? Anyhows, I'm off to browse the web, and things. Hopethis e mail has been slightly informative, or at least mildly entertaining. Love, idles ===== http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/corduroysmoke and the world did get covered in a thick haze of corduroy smoke.

Sinister: Partying with B&S...
by Astrid Wiezell 22 Mar '02

22 Mar '02

Tuesday, the Stockholm gig, was the greatest night of my life! They played my request (Time of the Season by the Zombies), Stuart started talking to me during the concert, he took my hand and said I was going to get to dance on stage, but it all fucked itself up with the evil, evil, guards. Later on, we waited by the tourbus. First Chris walked past. He said "HI!" and we all just said hi and turned around and started talking again. We didn´t recognize him! I was so ashamed later on! Then Sarah came out, she was incredibly shy but still very sweet. Then we talked to a merchandise guy, who said they were at the party in the restaurant, so we went inside. Ok, ok, we got in through the leaving door, but still, we got in! Me and Amanda are 15 (turning 16) and 13 (turning 14) so we wouldn´t get in elsehow. I´m not desperate, I promise. We get in there, and the first impression I get is "OH MAN! I´m so FUCKING scared!". Just a lot of cool grownup people. Uuuh. I saw Richard, and we started talking. He´s *so* nice! But his accent.. I could hardly understand it... hee hee. But he signed my setlist! Then we saw Mick and Bobby, so we started talking to them as well. I told Bobby, while he were signing my stuff, that I thought he looked gorgeous up there. At first, he said "Thank you". Then he realized what I said and blushed and said "OH THANK YOU!". Then I saw Stuart. I thought I was going to die. I went up to him and because of the loud music, you had to like shout in eachother´s ears. I think I mumbled something about him being my God or something. AH, embarrassing! But he just said after some talking "Look, I *have* to dance some more, but I´ll be back really soon, ok?". And then he came back, and we started talking. The weird thing is, I´ve been warshiping this man, for every single day, for two years now, I´ve been imagining his way of acting, his voice, just.. him you know. And it was all *EXACTLY* as I thought it would be! It was so strange! First he said that he recognized my face and asked me if I´d been to any other show, or just in Glasgow. And I said no, because I haven´t. Then I mumbled something (i have a tendency to do that when I´m nervous) about school, and he started laughing and said "How old are you?". I said that well, I´m 15 turning 16. He started laughing and said "I thought you were so much older!" and then he starts shouting "BEANS! BEANS!". No reaction. "HEY CHRIS!". Chris turns around. "How old do you think Astrid is?" and Chris got all shy, talking about women and their age. Stuart was a bit impatient and said "Well, like 21-22, right?" and Chris agreed and then he started laughing again saying I was 15. Hee hee hee. phototime came as well, oh yes. First with Chris, then with Bobby, who, er, started to.. er.. well.. do dirty moves on me. No, that sounded wrong, but he like rubbed himself towards me or something.. I was a bit.. hmmm.. shocked... by that not saying I didn´t appreciate it! He´s gorgeous, and believe me, it´s not everyday I got a beautiful man wanting to do that. Oh, no, it sounded wrong again, but you know what I mean. Amanda thought he was sleazy and couldn´t stop laughing. She still has problems with it. I love Bob. Who doesn´t? A photo with Mick as well, he is really nice, but he was a lot taller than I expected. Just as Stuart and I were about to let Amanda take that picture, he says "Oh right, we have to look serious now" and I make the largest GRIN possible, Amanda takes the picture and I die of shame. Then I took a picture of just him as well, with his little drink. Oh, how sweet! Just as we were about to leave, I saw Stevie! I took a picture with him and we talked a bit about guitars and stuff. He missed the tourbus later, so he had to take a cab. Hee hee hee. Sorry, but it looked really funny, he looked around, looking scared, and then waving after a cab and quickly getting in. Before that I got my setlist signed by him as well, and he started talking about HIS favourite band, the Rolling Stones. Man, it was the greatest night of my entire life. The greatest. Oh yes. I can´t say it enough. Since I got the setlist, I´ll send it out to you all, since someone wonderes, in my head I remember the three first songs: Le Pastie De La Bourgeoisie Dirty Dream #2 The Magic Of A Kind Word The two first songs are my favourites with B&S, so, imagine my delight! Have to go now, sorry for being the egocentric bastard I am. Have patience with me people! Love, Astrid XXX P.S How old is Mr Kildea? I want to marry him. P.P.S Please don´t take me to seriously. P.P.P.S Wait. Maybe you should! P.P.P.P.S Fuck this, I´m pressing the send button now! _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!
