Sinister: I love you my farfisa
by Tom Pettinger 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Hello all. Here is the pastiche. Unfortunately it is rather epic and pretty much about offbeat me and the list and isn't has good as it could have been, but...eh, what'ya gonna do. I think it should scan quite well if sung along to "Expectations". By the way, the subject refers to the b-side of a rather good single by electrelane, if any of you like retro organ noise they are worth ear room. "Monday morning, wake up: cup of tea Some marmite on some toast Can't face school just yet I'll tell you what, I'll go and read some posts, But before you know it hours fly by I really should be there, but I'm still at my 'pooter eating toast and in my underwear... Wednesday morning, looks like I've still got A lot of work to do But it won't get done because right now I'm reading posts by *you*, I love you all unless you're careless and you churn out list abuse even then it's quite amusing and to someone it's some use... Hey, you're abused I don't mind, I think it's fine Send a mixtape to a friend soon he will know I'm insane... and I'm posting toss aga-ain... Friday morning, wake up knowing that it's Offbeat night tonight, tell your friends what to expect I think they're going to see the light Do you want to come and dance to indie and be one of them treading on the cat as you crash home at just past 2 a.m... Friday evening sees us walking through the student union halls, get to Offbeat, there's already sweat condensing on the walls get a drink and then I wander round start looking for a stool- I start to dance-even though it makes me look a fool... Next day morning, wake up its a challenge getting out of bed Only marmite toast and tea can help me clear this fuzzy head Write to sinister and bore them with a self absorbed pastiche The only words I know to rhyme with that are Micro-fiche and quiche... Hey, you're abused I don't mind, I think it's fine Send a mixtape to a friend soon he will know I'm insane... and I'm posting toss aga-ain... And you know who i am so why start to read this spam? If you hate it, don't complain, Soon you will learn not to read a post of mine aga-ain... *raspberry noise* Tom +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: portable kisses
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

"Why does it seem to me that the poets and teenagers are the protectors and sustainers of the possibilities of kisses?" - tess gallagher i'm all over the place this morning. this may be because i've been writing, something to which i've become unaccustomed. it's hard, i now remember, to bring my mind down (or up? or out?) from trying to get a grip on tiny, exact things like words and return to making normal, inexact conversation and doing filing. i've also been reading the new Careless Talk (ha, i just typed 'carless' by mistake - the journal for pedestrians?) which is growing on me. there is certainly a healthy dose of passion in there. although matt brought it home from work saying 'here you go, fresh from the sweaty paw of everett true himself' which did put me off slightly. one belle & sebastian related comment to report so far, from an interview with aerogramme (i paraphrase slightly): 'arab strap and us mix harshness with our emotion. you can't be too sensitive in glasgow or you get twatted. that's why you never see belle and sebastian drinking in the city centre.' something like that anyway. the star-crossed ex-lovers are still making me sad. perhaps also reminding me unpleasantly of my own messy break-up with the boy in question four years ago. it's funny, however much you forget and move on, there are still little grains of every painful experience left behind deep in your subconscious. i can't wait to see b&s in brixton and reach that sublime medium between primal rock n roll euphoria and tearful appreciation of beauty. that should sort me out. oh, can i just have a wee little boast (i really feel like a conceited twat saying this but it has improved my self-esteem so much that i have to share): i've been shortlisted for an eric gregory award, which is pretty much THE last word in prizes if your a poet under 30. so far the shortlist is 17 (out of 107 entries) so even if i get no further i might at least stop thinking that i ought to give up and become a bricklayer.

Sinister: a short piece of theatre for stereolab fans
by Kieran Devaney 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

A SHORT PIECE OF THEATRE FOR TWO PLAYERS (It is a Thursday, after school in Birmingham City Centre. General bustle. Enter stage left a boy dressed in winter apparel, he looks scruffy and unhurried, gazing absently left and right as he slowly crosses the stage) (Enter Stage left a young man, also dressed for winter, looking a little unsure of himself - his movements are jerky and lack confidence, he too continually gazes all about him, but unlike the boy it is with a slightly paranoid air, he keeps looking behind him, as if he were being followed. He approaches the boy). MAN: 'Scuse me mate, you couldn't help me could you? (The boy stares at him, stopping in his tracks) BOY: Sorry? MAN: I need some help... (the boy keeps staring) BOY: (slowly) Yeah? MAN: Well you see my car broke down here, and I haven't got any money to buy a train ticket to Leicester, and I have to get back there before tonight. BOY: Oh (he starts to look annoyed) I haven't got any money I could give you mate, sorry... (he starts to walk off) MAN: Well how much have you got? (the boy stares at him and thinks for a moment) BOY: Nothing MAN: Have you got a phone? I have to make a call... BOY: No. Didn't you come out with any money? MAN: No... I haven't got any mate, so if you could... BOY: So you drove all the way from Leicester without any money? Why? MAN: Er, yeah... (he looks listless and uninterested and starts to walk away himself) BOY: You know... (the man turns back) If you go up to the police station, I'm sure they'll be able to help you - it's only down the road. (he grins) (the man exits stage left) (the boy exits stage right) STEREOLAB FANS Not long before Christmas, I went to see Stereolab play live at the Birmingham Academy. I left the house early, because I had to get to the cashpoint nearby for some tshirt money, the halifax one, the one thats closed at the moment. I left excited, making sure I had my ticket, some change for the phone in case I needed to use it (I don't believe in mobiles) and my coat and everything. It wasn't till I got on the bus (the #97 from Bordesley Green East, the stop just outside the Richmond Pub), that I realised I'd forgotten my bus pas. It was too late to go back, if I did that I might miss something, and the buses are usually slow into town during winter evenings, so I paid with some of the change I was carrying and resigned myself to the fact that I wouldn't be able to buy either a tshirt or the stereolab exclusive tour single (which isn't that good, but everyone a sucker for exclusive 7" singles aren't they?), because I keep my halifax cashcard inside my bus pass. Damn. But still, I wasn't going to let something like that ruin a good gig, so I sat and waited for the bus to get into town. The bus was indeed slow and laborious, there was some sort of delay right on the outskirts of Town, so that by the time we actually got to the last bus stop, it was gone 7:00, and they would be letting people in already. I had done a quick scan of the people on the bus, and despite the presence of several shady looking characters, I deduced that none of my fellow passengers were destined for the gig that night - far more sinister pursuits undoubtedly awaited them in town. We all got off, and I started walking leisurely towards the Academy, it's probably worth pointing out that I was going to the gig completely on my own - while some of my friends have quite good musical taste, when it comes to Stereolab they all fall into one of two categories, either 'heard of but not heard' or 'not heard of', the philistines. But I actually quite like going to gigs on my own - and for Stereolab, anything. As I approached the venue, past the halifax I was supposed to get tshirt money from, past the McDonalds which was still open, patronised by slack-jawed sportswear sporting types, further down, across the road etc, I noticed a few people were still queing up outside, I knew it was past door opening time, so I assumed they were waiting for other people or something. I wandered past them and up to the fetching brown metal doors of the academy, which were, oddly, only very slightly open. I glanced back at the people in the queue, they were looking at me, but nobody said anything. I poked my head around the door to see two of the orange and black clad security staff chatting outside the ticket booth, "Yes?" said the larger of the two, a slightly imposing skinhead type, they both looked at me. "Er, Stereolab are on tonight aren't they?" I said, getting my grammar wrong in the fluster. "Yeah mate, they're still practising so you'll have to wait," said the security guard, "shouldn't be long now though." he looked at his watch. "Ok, thanks" I said bemusedly, and turned back outside. As I walked to the back of the tiny queue I glanced at the people in it - why hadn't they told me what was going on? I put my hands in my pockets and waited, it was quite cold, but not too bad, and I thought that since there were only a few people already here, I could easily get a good place near the front. That would make up for not getting a tshirt I thought. As I was thinking this a girl wandered across the road - from just outside Toys 'R' Us (Can you do backwards r's on computers? It isn't on my character map), she was attired in a manner befitting to a Stereolab fan, and indeed seemed to be making for the gig. My suspicions were confirmed when she walked past me, down the queue and towards the doors. I wondered if I should say anything, since she was bound to get the same response as I did, but I held back, partly because of my own inherent shyness and also because I thought it was a good chance for the people ahead of me to do the right thing and tell her. But the didn't. So she went up to the door, poked her head round and undoubtedly had the same conversation with the skinhead security guard. She glared at us a minute or so later as she walked back to take her place behind me in the queue and I looked away. About five minutes later the small queue of us were let in, and I couldn't help wondering if what had happened was an exclusive trait of people in shy bands like Stereolab, or if the incident said something about us on a wider scale. I don't know. The gig was fantastic by the way, about as good as you imagine Stereolab live being, there was dancing and merrymaking for all. I used the last of my change to phone home (from the phonebox outside adam's), and ask for a lift back since I didn't have enough for the bus. I got home to find that I had missed all but the last Hefner John Peel Session song, which was mildly annoying. Though I do think, having since heard the whole session, thanks to the wonder of techonology that is audiogalaxy.com that the song I did get to hear 'Anne and Bill' is the best of the bunch. I have an insatiable desire to leave this feeling unfinished and go an pop some bubble wrap. I just know I left it lying around here somewhere...

Sinister: Don't leave the BRIGHT-ON baby.....
by snowy . 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Hello again. Sorry to just leap into the puns, but I couldn't resist that one. I went to Brighton yesterday, to buy new shoes. I popped on the Brighton express and arrived at 1:30. And I was on the train home at 3:30. Much as I like Brighton, (being skint) I couldn't think of much to do there. Secondhand clothes are actually more expensive than in London down there. I had a lovely lunch in Infinity though. Anyway, the point I was going to make was this. On the train down, I was looking out of the window and daydreaming. And I got to thinking about bands/artists who manage to cultivate a sense of their surroundings in their work. I think travelling through Battersea made me think of Morrissey, and how he used to move from Manchester to London to Manchester.....etc. Then I thought about B&S, and the sense that they are very much a 'Glasgow' band. And I started feeling like I have lost my identity to some extent. As I spent the first 18 years of my life living in Devon (in the same house) and most of my adult life in London. I have moved back to Devon a couple of times. And each time I have found it difficult because I have changed. But I find it difficult in London too, because I'll always be Devonian really. There is no answer to this. But I wonder what (if any) impact this has had on my writing. Hmmmmmmm. I'll have to go through my stuff and see how much writing I've done about train journeys. ~ ~ @ @ | \_/ Take care. snowy xxx _________________________________________________________________ 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: There's a lot CHU be done while your KEN is still young
by Rachel fruitloop 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

HELLOOOOOO SINISTER!!! Due (CHU) to the recent outbreak of KEN CHU sitings in subject lines, I thought I owed it to you (CHU) all to warn you (CHU): YOU ARE PLAYING WITH FIRE!!! OK(EN). So maybe you won't get burned. But it's all-consuming! (all-KENCHUming). You, too, (CHU) may become addicted to putting a PY in your RE-PLY. Here's my personal "Posts Cited" list with all of the subject lines I've used with Ken's name: 3rd Post; September 24th, 2001: "Well I like KEN CHU, I know he likes you" 10th Post; October 12th, 2001: "CHUfactor" 11th Post; October 14th, 2001: "It's not as if they're paying CHU, it's not as if it's KEN" 17th Post; November 2nd, 2001: "CHU wears the clothes of an Emperor" 20th Post; November 8th, 2001: "The CHUnited states of KEnlamity, hey!" 23rd Post; November 19th, 2001: "It's no wonder KEN CHU is dribbling spit tonight"... 24th Post; November 29th, 2001: "KEN in the snow, way CHU go" 25th Post; December 5th, 2001: "Take CHUey with his bow and arrow, KEN's a mastermind" 26th Post; DeKENber 20th, 2001: "I'd rather be fat than be KENCHUsed" 27th Post; DeCHUber 25th, 2001: "To tell someone all the truth before it KENs CHU" 29th Post; January 13th, 2002: "KEN that mean that I'm getting boring? CHU tell me..." 31st Post; January 30th, 2002: "we KEN meet up in L.A. if CHU want" 33rd Post; February 8th, 2002: "I will KENfess to CHU"... 34th Post; February 14th, 2002: "KEN put me on the ground with CHU-do" 35th Post; February 21st, 2002: "Have CHU and her been taKEN pictures of your obsessions?" So, you see, they are coming in rapid succession now, with no end in sight. I may have to go to CHUaholics KENonymous! I have a whole bunch of future subject lines stored up in this sick mind of mine! I'll be in London in 2 weeks! I wonder if meeting KEN CHU will cure my CHUdropping(s) problem or just make it worse! now a bit of *****REPORTING BACK***** We had a little Sinister meetup here in Los Angeles on Saturday, February 23rd. You may remember them from such meet-ups as Los Angeles, June 2001 and November 2001: in attendance were Michael Vance and his friend Martin, Jose, Ernie Cloves, Jennifer Juniper and Me and my best friend Vicky. We met at the movie theater where we saw 'Storytelling', which I thought was grate. But like I always say, I'm no critic. I like movies for a lot of different factors and I'm pretty easy to please. I liked the second part better than the first part, but I liked the first part, too. I liked hearing Belle & Sebastian's music in the soundtrack. After the movie, we proceeded to a swanky joint nearby called Swingers where we had good food and good conversation, and Jennifer and I took our table's collective quarters and loaded up the jukebox. I think a pleasant evening was had by all. We parted ways outside of the restaurant because everybody seemed to be fairly tired and so our low-key evening of Sinister fun ended at that. Shout outs to the kitties who couldn't make it, especially Cameron, Chris, Juju, Katie Cheeriodle, Rachel Cornflake, Sara Bus Stoppers, and Brier Random! Well, that's all for me for tonight! Love to you all (especially Ben!) love, Rachel fruitloop P.S. Laura Llew, I like the term "tawdry trollop" or "sinful harlot" or the good ol' fashioned "two-bit whore"! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Sinister: I wish my life could be as strange as a conspiracy
by mmm skyscraper 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Hi Thanks for the warm replies to my last post. You know who you are. Also the sinister valentine thing worked out nicely, it should become a regular thing. I haven't listened to B&S in a couple of days, I'm kinda on a break. At some point I'll probably listen to everything in order and think, how this really is great. Right now I'm obsessed with very small record labels that seem to only issue vinyl. Fat Cat and Emma's House are two such labels that capture my interest at the moment. The desire to own records is a very powerful force that cannot be easily reckoned with. I believe that Atlanta got the best deal in B&S tickets. The tickets were the cheapest and the convenience fee was pretty much the lowest. Also floor seats are still available. Are any of the Sinister massive planning on attending? I remember someone saying they were coming from LA, but exactly who escapes me at the moment. mmm skyscraper p.s. 15 days to Aarhus for those luckily enough to go. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Sinister: Ken Chu remember the first time?
by terry mr boyle 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Hello all, I have been out of the nursery for about a week and haven't yet posted, which I guess is virgin on the ridiculous, but am set to remedy that now. My name is Terry and I'm from Perth, Western Australia. I got into Belle and Sebastian after hearing Fold Your Arms... and Legal Man, and was instantly hooked. I have since bought and loved almost everything they have released (that is, bought almost everything and loved it all). I am hugely jealous of all you people getting to see B & S in the flesh. Maybe they'll make it down to Oz one day? I hope I can live up to the rather high standard of the list. Reading the digest is always funny, uplifting, and sometimes a little sad too. A nice mix if ever there was one. Summer finished yesterday. But it's still damn hot. Bye now, Terry "Flattery will get you nowhere." 2,000,000,000 Web Pages--you only need 1.

Sinister: photos
by Carmel 01 Mar '02

01 Mar '02

Those were lovely photos Robert! Everyone looks quite lovely. and....Who's puppy dog is that?? he is super cute!! and I don't even like dogs very often--unless they're on wheels. I must tell of my woes today...I failed two midterms and can't move a speech I have to give next week. I think my head is going to explode from stress--too bad, I liked this head. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to deal with doing poorly in my classes this term and just graduate. No B&S news except I wish I could go to the show in Atlanta. I'm leaving for Europe on the 14th and I was thinking about buying a ticket that left on the 13th and had a layover in Atlanta, but then I thought that would cost more and be very difficult...although fun. I guess I will just have to be patient and wait for them to come to me again. Good night everyone! Have a pleasant evening!

Sinister: there's chu much love to go around these days
by Robyn Fadden 28 Feb '02

28 Feb '02

oh, sinister! joy! not only did i just book my ticket to london for may 8, *but* on the way there i'm stopping in toronto for the belle and sebastian show!!! whoo! i was just thinking, well, if i'm going to england in may, which i am definitely going to do, yes, then maybe i should try to see b&s. and the more i thought about it, the more i really really needed to see b&s. because once is not enough (i need not explain why to you understanding lot.) so, yes, good, rah! so perhaps there will have to be a May picnic in london or oxford? okay, i'm just excited. and am therefore not doing work at work, especially because, ooh, there are *so many* new photos up on http://www.missprint.org/sinister/people/ now. crazy! i don't quite know what to make of elise's tunnel picture, but i do like it and want one of myself and everyone i know (elise, please explain please.) and i love jordi's blue cat t-shirt! and melissa's picture includes struan! and (the) pickle prince is a character in 'waking life'! though i could go on, i won't. except to say that andre is dashing. or at least his photo is (he is probably getting much digital dating booty and perhaps a list crush or two?). etcetera etcetera. did i just use the word 'booty'? i guess that means the 'pride and prejudice' influence is over. good! i did enjoy reading it, yes, in a way, but felt it made me too polite. or maybe demure. whatever, it's over now. and really it's quite the fantasy novel isn't it? love *and* money?! oh my :) anyway, it's a bit confusing though b/c i'm reading a book about cyborgs now. cyborgs, yaay! london, yaay! belle and sebastian, yaay! yours, robyn p.s. new boards of canada, yaay! canada winning gold in men's & women's hockey, yaay!
