Sinister: Neil, Clear Channel, Chicago/Detroit Meet-Ups.
by Christiaan!! !! 21 Feb '02

21 Feb '02

Hi! Gosh, I haven't posted for a while. First up, let me say, for those of you going to the Detroit or Chicago shows: A few of us would like to set up a two day extravaganza in both cities. The initial meet-up would be on friday before the Detroit show. Where, exactly, is still up in the air. Personally I saw Ann Arbor, because I am lazy. After that we will all go to the show. Then we will do other things. The next day we will go to Chicago and do things there. After that, we will go to the show in Chicago. Then we will do more things. Etc. So, if you have any ideas, or would like to come, email me or amyjacks or something. It should be fun! I think we should have a big DDR party. Ahem. When things are better planned, there will be a better post regarding that stuff. anyway. I don't think a response like Neil's is ever really called for. Then again, I don't know exactly what the response was to, so whatever. It sucks that I had to spend almost $70 for two tickets (stupid ticketmaster fees), but I can understand the need, considering they are traveling so far, have so many people, etc. What bothers me, though is that a few of the midwestern shows are affiliated with Clear Channel, which has TOTALLY fucked up all things musical in the area. Besides dominating most of the radio stations (which do things such as, say, castrate and torture a pig in a parking lot, and broadcast it live), their booking company, SFX, has taken over most of the venues where I live (around Detroit, MI) and either closed them or made them suck. Some of their policies are just really disturbing. Like, not booking local music. Ever. Even in little tiny clubs. They do lots of evil stuff. Um, anyway, Clear Channel kind of annoys me. Salon has done a bunch of pretty good articles on them. Collected at http://www.salon.com/ent/clear_channel/ Wow, I don't even have like a word search planned. It was warm yesterday. Last Friday I won $1,000 on an instant win lotto ticket. It was totally rad. Oh, I'm supposed to be working, though. Love you all, do come play in Michigan (and Chicago!), Christiaan!! _________________________________________________________________ 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.

The price of the tickets in Canada I must say is fair. The "convenience charge" of $6.50 per ticket cannot be attributed to the band, nor our grievous taxes or even our floundering dollar. I apologize for this Canadian but I am so thrilled B&S are finally coming to Toronto again and to a gorgeous venue, extra bang for your Canuck buck. This "fan" should start saving for merchandise now :p I know many people who were aghast at the price but everyone understood it was mainly due to our dollar...I'm assuming this Canadian is out of touch with Paul Martin and our recession. Toronto is increasingly being overlooked as a place to stop on tours b/c our ticket prices need to be ridiculous...which often turns off younger fans. It has meant that twice in the last year I've had to go to NYC to see shows. Anyhow I absolutely believe B&S will sell-out their T.O. show.

Sinister: ahh yes, the famed cappucino monks. just delightful with an almond biscotti.
by Kirsten Kenyon 21 Feb '02

21 Feb '02

a cold, damp day, february masquerading as early november, a heavy odor hung in the air. it's a fragrance i had previously thought to be indigenous to elementary school buses. gasoline, new textbooks, bubblegum and gym socks. strangely enough, i caught a whiff of it outside the drugstore, and for a moment it made me feel as though i were far too young to be digging up five dollars for cigarettes, as i was. a cherry soda and a bag of chocolate peanuts, maybe. i bought gumdrops. a woman defines "iambic" for her ten-year-old daughter over a plate of scrambled eggs. a girl says "perambulate" in math class. she means "parabola." no, this girl is not me. matthew comments that the squirrel outside the window looks "exceptionally squirrelly." marcus tells me my shoes are "poppin." i take this as a compliment. the man in the apron asks me if "dog" and "god" would be an anagram. i nod, and am about to say something about palindromes when i find my hand jamming a cigarette between my lips instead. good move, i think. the cigarettes. after buying gumdrops at walgreens, i had a cup of coffee. i realized that the gumdrops just weren't cutting it. being too lazy to trudge three blocks back to walgreen's in the rain, i forked over $6.50 for gauloises at some snooty smokeshop with shiny floors and leather sofas. taking into account my current financial state, i should not be spending $6.50 on cigarettes. also, i am reading far too quickly. i suppose i could go to the library instead of buying books all the time, but i just adore the feeling i get when i add a new volume to my bookshelf. when i was little, my mom used to check out paintings from the fond du lac library. take one home and hang it over the fireplace for three weeks, then exchange it for a new one. that's sort of fun to do with paintings. i remember that my favorite was of wine and pomegranates, and that i would always whine when my mom picked out something like limes or wheelbarrows or ducks. my dad matted a painting i did in high school and hung it in the living room, along with some cezanne reproduction and this awful oil thing i did in about twenty five minutes as an exercise for a class last year. the assignment as to set up a still life of white objects and to paint them, using no white at all, but still "capturing the various hues reflected in the light and lurking in the shadows," as dennis had put it, smiling with perfect white teeth and fluttering his hands so that his ruby ring sparkled in the lazy sunlight diffused through the greasy windows of the studio. my mom found the painting in a heineken crate in the garage. "i love the wine bottle on its side in the background." "that's a bar of soap, actually." "well, nobody would ever know." the one my dad hung is truly awful, a grotesque, swirling mess i created on a dented slab of masonite i found leaning against a wall in the parking lot of my high school. i would never, ever paint on masonite now. paint is too expensive, painting too exhausting. but...it's on masonite. (you can't see me, but i'm hanging my head in shame.) this monstrosity was done almost entirely with my fingers, and the paint is thick, piled up like some horrendous topographical map. those were the days during which i could waste paint without a tinge of guilt, as it was supplied by the high school and i figured that, given the staggering cost of tuition, i could (and should) use as much paint as i damn well pleased. my dad hung the painting upside-down. i didn't say anything. pierre instructed the class to write sentences consisting of no fewer than one hundred words each. and no, he's not kidding. i couldn't imagine why anyone would think that he was, but apparently the facial expressions exhibited by several of my peers prompted this statement. "james joyce wrote a forty three page sentence," he added. nobody seemed to care. my sentence was about a person who must take on the awful business of clearing out the estate of a departed relative. there's a pretty swell part about the slow, pained opening of a heavy door, emitting a stifling blast of stale air and reminding someone, rather morbidly, of the creaky old lips of a venerable woman on her deathbed. all in all, it's a horrible sentence. but the image of creaky old lips rather amuses me. so. i've had just about enough of this post, as i'm sure you have. oh crap. i'm going to be late for school. love kirsten Care2 make the world greener! http://www.care2.com - Get your Free e-mail account that helps save Wildlife! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

I like Neil Robertson. He doesn't take shit from anyone who is being an arse. Just like when B&S didn't tour the East Coast last year. He doesn't care. He doesn't care because he's got his priorities right and people that moan are stupid. if it's B&S aren't playing X it's moan moan moan, if they are playing X it's moan moan moan about something else, and after they have played it'll probably be moan moan moan again. He is doing his job and when some gobshite wants to question him about his proficiency he gets annoyed and tells it how it is. I'd do that in his situation. As any fule kno- transporting 13 people to America plus transport, accommodation, insurance, spurious legal fees, advertising for the concerts etc ain't going to be cheap. People should be grateful they have deigned to play at all. Neil et al at Banchory/Matador are clearly not "money grabbing" nor hoards. though maybe if they all got together and ran towards Anonymous' house to give him/her/it a kicking then they could be a horde? Answers on a gold-edged capitalist postcard. and fuck it anyway, I WANT B&S, Matador, Banchory to make a shedload of money. Why shouldn't they? Answers to that on the back of a load of share certificates in the above. Can I be on the guest list in Canada to see someone have their lights punched out? So in conclusion: Neil wins and retires with the millions of Euros/dollars/marks/pesos that they personally makes from every single concert. Especially those in Canada where the B&S/Matador/banchory mantra for the tour is If We Don't Get The Dough The Band Don't Show _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: loops and dots
by R.Playforth＠sussex.ac.uk 21 Feb '02

the bbc are at it again. as well as the anomalous daytime backing music mentioned by lovely liz (rilke = GOOD), a massively long loop from the boy with the arab strap accompanied the nomination clips in the lawrence olivier awards last week. since it was all theatreland and musicals and such, i would have expected something from les miserables or south pacific. but no. it meant i had the tune in my head all night, anyway. dodedodo dodedo dodedododo. that bit. currently in fierce debate with myself about b&s in brixton. one minute i really can't justify spending a total of �24 on them, bu then i remember how great the RAH gig was, and... the gig is also my last day of holiday from work, and it would be a perfect finale, especially as there will be a certain greek muse of epic poetry in london who i HAVE to see :) but there seem to be only circle tickets left. maybe <LIST ABUSE ALERT> if someone had an *unwanted standing ticket* they could sell me? i'd love you even more than i do already, i promise! i wish i had the gift of pastiche so wonderfully demonstrated by ken, bapps, mark, and most recently rob. it makes my day when i get those posts, it really does. has someone thought of compiling them on a site? or perhaps getting the band to record them for a special christmas 'fan club record'? (what did become of that noble tradition?) i have nothing else to say except, monsters inc: go see, and have the fairly scary experience of falling in love with a computer-animated baby. luv archel xxx ps. rachel and max - i did read and love max's post. but if i mentioned every post i loved, i'd never get space for my own demented ramblings, and what a loss that would be to the world. plus, we all know how scary declaring love is... pps. i think i'm addicted to ellipsis. maybe i should have given it up for lent... oops. ****************** Visit www.buzzwords.ndo.co.uk for the best new writing on the web.

Sinister: Neil takes on the world! Round One!
by CrnflkgrlO＠aol.com 21 Feb '02

21 Feb '02

Apparently Neil posted this on the Matador Records bulletin board after hoards of people came whining and arguing over the high price of tickets on the tour. I'm so impressed by Neil sometimes, he's such a badass! And have you seen him, ladies? Not so hard on the eyes, as well..... B&S' Management Ticket Prices - Dry Your Eyes Mon Feb 18 12:07:15 2002 62.252.128.5 I have every sympathy with folk who genuinely can't afford tickets for the shows. Life's like that. But Anonymous (Brave name by the way), when we're in Canada I'll put you on the guest list and you can come down and call us "money-hungry hoards" to our faces(and explain what a hoard it is). And then I'll punch your fucking lights out. We've walked away with money from a gig TWICE in the last four years. And we're not making a cent fromthese upcoming dates. Quite the opposite actually, as usual we'll subsidise it to the tune of several thousand dollars. If you'd gone in to Matador in September last year, one look at their faces would have told you how much the last tour cost. Incidentally, it's nice to see you all know that we're planning on the next tour. There's not 8 people playing, there's 13. Quite a difference. I see that we are one of the more expensive tickets. Understand though, this is what it costs. There's no fucking mystery. Either we tour at this price, or we don't tour at all. It's not fucking compulsory. We've given you the choice. The obvious thing to do would be say to yourself "No, I'm not paying that", rather than come on here and spout shite about a bunch of people you've never met and, for your sake, you better never meet. Either it's worth it or it's not, and personally I don't give a fuck whether you think it is or not. Especially given that following your thread you eventually decide you don't like the band, and they're a parody. Why do you care about the ticket price if the band are so shit? Confused? I am. Pretty girl on the cover? Err, it's one of the band. Sorry about that, I'll slap her about a bit next time I see her. Really, fannies like you coming on talking like you have a fucking clue. Piss off. Life's too short to worry about the likes of you. Go and like somebody unpopular. You seem more suited to that, and at least you'll be in the company of like-minded people.
