Sinister: And all I KEN do is hand it to CHU and his latest trick
by Fernando Brito 20 Mar '02

20 Mar '02

Please don't get mad at me Ken... Hello, sinister! How are you doing?! I'm great, thanks! I've read about the picnic this Sunday. I wish I was there to meet you beautiful people! If things go well I'll be meeting you this summer! Mow asked about B&S setlists. I have read, or heard, or maybe just dreamed, that they use to play some local songs wherever they go, e.g., here in Brazil they played two Mutantes songs and when they went to Japan they played a japanese traditional song. So it's not impossible that they'll play Strokes in NY and Rush in Canada! Speaking of Mutantes, for those who never heard about this band that influenced not only B&S but dozens of others, they're gonna be in a couple of pages of the next Mojo magazine. Ken wrote about BS initials. I've never noticed that until he wrote, but actually my last two initials are BS! Well, as a matter of fact my full name is Luiz Fernando Brito da Silva, the "da" means "of", it's like "von", just like Ludwig von Beethoven, so it's not really part of my name. Anyway, my initials are LFBS!! And in the next months I'll have to open a firm because my bosses don't want to pay the extorsive taxes for a well paid employee, so they will hire my firm as an independent consulting company! Now, I'm thinking about name this firm "BS", so that if someone says "Oh, I got it! BS means Belle and Sebastian!", I can say "No! It's my two last initials!". And if someone says "Does BS mean Brito da Silva?" I can reply: "Nope. It's Belle and Sebastian! I love them!". And by doing it I can stick with my disappointing-people-mania (is there a name for this?!)!!! Speaking of my full name, I bet there's no one else in this list with a name that is longer than mine! And now for those who think my name is too complicated, take a look at this: > Pedro de Alcântara Francisco Antônio João Carlos Xavier de Paula Miguel Rafael Joaquim José Gonzaga Pascoal > Cipriano Serafim de Bragança e Bourbon This is just the full name of Pedro I, the first emperor of Brazil, the guy who declared our independence. You see, at least my name is not the most weird! Having said that, I must ask for all brazilian sinisters to show up. Up to now I've only talked with two of you, I know we are at least twelve. Where are you? Don't be afraid if you're shy, if you'll meet me then you'll know what's REAL shyness! Kisses and hugs!

Sinister: what is the king's favourite cereal?
by Matthew Henderson 20 Mar '02

20 Mar '02

KING VITAMIN! So, how is everyone today? That's good. Or not, depending on how you answered the question. Please, tell me about it while I feign interest. I'm only joking. You know I love you. I'm back in Mobile, Alabama now. Well, I have been for a few days, but anyway. I'd like to give thanks to those sinisters that showed me a smashing time: sarah, sweetie, the former archbishop of Glasgow (and regent of scotland for a time), and danny. Cheers to you all, and thanks for the drinks. So I'm supposed to be in my Ethics of Cyberpunk class right now, but I'm not going. I was supposed to do a proposal for the big paper, but I realized last night, whilst trying to find sources, that it's just stupid. Every essay we've read is just stating the obvious...in big words. I just don't buy that Lawnmower man was meant as a post-modernist parable of any sort. In fact, I don't see the relevance of postmodernism, posthumanism, and postfuturism at all. Who cares? Why is this important? There is just no way to justify a crap movie like Lawnmower Man. Yes, big corporations rule the world. Okay, the net is the avenue of the future. Soon, we'll have technological implants. But all I have to do is read the damn book or watch the damn movie to understand that. Why read hundreds of pages of critics and authors to say this, only in a pretentious manner? So yes, I might drop that class. Maybe I'm just lazy. Instead, I decided to watch my newly purchased Rings around the World DVD. Aaah, the joys of life. Other big Matt news...I have a date! Yes! She is quite possibly the only other person in my area code to own (and wear) a belle and sebastian shirt! How impressive is that? But I've never been on a proper date, so I don't know what to do. What music should I play when I pick her up? Should I act all suave and nonchalant? Or should I try to be romantic and bring her a flower or some old cliche from the vaults? What should I dress like? oooh, I wish things were easier. I wish we all had some sort of birthmarks on us, and when we found the other person with the same birthmark, we would know they are our mate for life. No matter what we do, they'd still love us, and we wouldn't have to worry about appearances or wonder if they like us and all that jazz. Wouldn't it just be easier? I also have a band. We're playing our first gig on April 20th! and we have an EGGSHAKER!!! it's so exciting. We were called Elephant's Gerald, but that's taken, so we went with the name I preferred, Charging Chuck and the Tanuki Suits. And we're playing Judy and the Dream of Horses. That counts as content. Well, less than two months away from the US shows. I'd better get my car fixed. And remember, Don't let your chicken fingers be made by the hands of oppression. -Matt _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try 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: setlist of the gig in Stockholm yesterday
by Bertrand Caron 20 Mar '02

20 Mar '02

Hi, Did anybody got or wrote the setlist of the songs played by B&S yesterday in Stockholm? I can't remember everything they played. Anyway the concert was great even if I was extrimely afraid to be disapointed as I have been waiting for the oportunity to see them for so many years and as I usually hate concert in large venues but it was just perfect. -- "To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love, but then one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer, to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love, to be happy then is to suffer but suffering makes one unhappy, therefore to be unhappy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down."

Aloha Sinister. Here comes some list abuse. I hope the mums will forgive me for this brief naughtiness. It's a long shot, but does anybody have a spare ticket to see The Strokes at Brixton Academy on the 28th March? You, yes you, could make me a very happy boy. If anyone can help, please email me offlist. See some or fewer of you on Sunday at the picnic, or maybe at Tigermilking... love Asm.x ================================ "He's strictly a pain in the ass, but he certainly has a good vocabulary" - Holden Caulfield "He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy" - Mary Cohen _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try 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: Reporting back from ChupenhaKen
by Ben Apps 20 Mar '02

20 Mar '02

Hello there! Even though this is Ben's e-mail address, this is Rachel Fruitloop writing presently. Ben and I are at his mum's house in Derbyshire, typing this on brother Willz computer (thanks!) because we couldn't wait to report back on the B&S gig in Copenhagen. Our adventure began on Friday, which was actually barely 24 hours since I had arrived in London. That night we met up with lots of lovely Sinister people at Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese in celebration of Mark Casarotto's birthday. That night it was apparent that Mark truly is the Lord of Smut! He is extremely charming so he can get away with it. We also met up with other Sinister folk like Jeremy, Mariana, Paul Field, Liz Daplyn, Ken Chu and many more. Then, we all made our way over to the Betsey Trotwood for some dancing at Track & Field, where we met up with Cola Cube Cay. It was a super cool time. Liz Daplyn was lovely enough to lend me her trainers on the walk home as I was learning the hard way how very little I walk in Los Angeles and it was quickly taking its toll on my feet! No sleep that night! We arrived back at Ben's just in time to pack our bags and catch our bus to Stansted, where we caught our flight to Copenhagen. In Copenhagen, riding on city buses for a hobby wasn't really an option, as every time we tried to get help finding our way and inadvertantly caught the same bus driver who didn't know what we were talking about at all! Most everyone there spoke english very well, which was impressive. It is a lovely city, very cold, but clean and the people there are friendly and ride bikes everywhere. (A real novelty to me!) The afternoon of the gig, we went to THE Scottish Pub (that's what it's really called!) with Ulla the Ullastrator, Katie Cheeriodle and her boyfriend Jeremy, and Becky Wright. I'll never forget how GRATE it was sitting there in this pub while the sounds of If You're Feeling Sinister played just for us! The entire album, no less! We all ventured out of the pub to catch a bus to the venue, but it was a bit trickier than we liked and at this point what I thought was the answer to my fashion blues (a pair of smart boots that are suitable for driving but NOT walking) had now rendered me crippled and I was barely able to limp let alone walk much at all. We saw some confused looking yet smartly dressed kids and Ben asked them if they were going to see B&S, and they excitedly said yes. The five of them were from Sweden and were having the same trouble finding the appropriate bus. So the whole lot of us cut to the chase and hired 3 taxis to the venue. The venue was fairly small and we positioned ourselves closer than I had dreamed we'd be! Jim Purple Trousers distributed his spunk to all who were willing to receive it (Spunk being a lovely candy he discovered while there in Denmark!) The opening act was Eugene Kelly formerly of Eugenius and the Vaselines, who claimed to know everything. So Jim asked if he knew what the score was of the Scottish League Cup Final, but he didn't know the answer. However, someone shared that the Rangers beat Ayr United 4-0! Sorry Stuart! When B&S took the stage, Stuart claimed to be feeling ill, we wondered if this outcome anything to do with it! The show was brilliant, and throughout the set, Ben wrote down the song names on a slip of paper on my shoulder! But after the show, Jim produced from nowhere, the official setlist and we cheered! the setlist was: Sleep The Clock Around Dirty Dream #2 The Magic Of A Kind Word My Wandering Days Are Over Judy And The Dream of Horses Jonathan David Wandering Alone The Model Don't Leave The Light On Baby Simple Things The Boy With The Arab Strap We Rule The School Family Tree Waking Up To Us There's Too Much Love The Wrong Girl Dog On Wheels Legal Man During The Wrong Girl, Stuart called these two boys onto the stage to dance. These two had been trying to start a "mosh pit" near the front and were visibly pissed out of their minds! These boys were terribly excited and one of them fell off the stage a couple of times and couldn't really stand up. Then he rushed back towards Chris and Isobel and was swiftly escorted off the stage, leaving his buddy to dance solo. This fellow danced his heart out, and at the very end he pulled his t-shirt off to reveal a B&S apersand shirt underneath and it was quite a spectacular finale! I'd have to say that the experience was quite impressive as a whole, and very romantic, too! I am one lucky girl! This is Ben. Hi. Yeah, what she said. Bye then!
