Sinister: I'm just a huge manatee.
by ArtsyDeco＠aol.com 28 Dec '01

28 Dec '01

Hello Sinister, (Why hello Kara!) ahem, yes well I've been meaning to post for absolutely ages about a number of things. Today is my birthday so I thought it might be a particularly good day to post. I just got a particularly nasty happy birthday from my mom because I told her I didn't want to work the same office job that made me want to kill myself with my letter opener again this summer. Sigh. Oh, the bit at the end is of some import so if any of this gets boring just skip ahead. I was going to defend Christmas. I'm sorry but saying that Christmas is too commercial is dying your hair blue and thinking that you're "totally fucking their yuppie system." Shopping malls, not Christmas. Ads trying to get you to go shopping, not Christmas. The malls and the ads are always there, and they're always like that. We just have to go to the stores to get presents and there is a definite value to presents. When you know someone well enough to get something that you are so positively sure is perfect for them that it makes you feel wonderful then I think something pretty great has happened. You're happy because you've been given a chance to prove that you can make other people happy. And therein lies my point. I'm not at all religious but I still feel something at Christmas. There's a sort of energy humming through the stillness that's there even when everyone is rushing around. It makes you want to do something great, something worthy of all the faith and emotion that's poured into religion, and making a friend or family member happy is definitely a step in the right direction. Of course this doesn't have to be done with a present. I also meant to post after I went to see the moldy peaches and the strokes. My friend who I went with was going mainly to see the strokes. She now admits that she had alot more fun during the peaches set. There was dancing, acting, acrobatics, freaky costumes and general wonderfulness throughout the peaches show. I heard a person behind me remark "I can't even describe what I just saw" once their set had finished. I don't think there can be a better compliment. Then the peaches came out and my friend and I got lots of hugs and they said they'd try to do and interview for mine and Peter's fastcow webzine. They were some of the most genuinely nice people I've ever met. Then the strokes came out and all the little girls in their sparkly tops and their sparkly make up shoved forward and I ended up crushed into a metal fence all because half the people there thought they desperately needed to sleep with the band. Yay. And the act...how many times have we seen this drunken, angsty act before. Ooh, you broke your beer bottle, I marvel at your badness. You're smoking pot on stage. No way! Take that system! And then they knocked their instruments over. Christ, could they be any less original? By the end of it I was left with a strong desire to give them all a swift kick to the groin and tell them to get humble real quick. The Important Part Ok, now that I'm done ranting and whatnot, some of you may remember that I made plans to make a sinister mixtape. It is still in the works but requires one final ingredient, a little bit of you. I had originally planned on quoting sinister mails but I'll be honest, I am not going to read everything in the archives and if I don't then I'll think I've missed something good. Or I'll think I have the perfect quote and the person who wrote it won't want me to use it or something like that. So, if any of you could be so kind, I'm looking for tapes you saying something sinister. Anything really, you could talk about sinister, b&s, your life anything. Kind of like sinister itself. This tape is supposed to be basically about you guys so I think that this is the most crucial element. You can tell me about your gerbil. Your gerbil can tell me about you. I'm game for pretty much anything. I have but one warning. Any tapes telling me why you love Isobel so much will be shot out of cannons into a rock quarry. I will then hire fifty people to point at the battered remains of the tape and laugh. I'm sorry to those who this may hurt but it's my tape so the fun part is I get to make the rules. The same thing goes for tapes about how cute stuart is. Though I may not shoot them into rock quarries. You've got to stay original in the mixtape business. That will be all from me now. I hope you all had lovely holidays. Oh, I'm going to England tomorrow. I know all you British people are now working hard to control your excitement at the prospect. And failing miserably. I kid. Anyway, everyone, have a beautiful day.

Sinister: Only Losers Take The Bus
by Dirty Vicar 28 Dec '01

28 Dec '01

Hello readers, I notice there are already lots more posts about the Belfast gig than the Scottish one. That's because the kind of people who go to gigs in Belfast are C*O*O*L and the kind of people who go to ones in Glasgow are U*N*C*O*O*L. I found the gig a lot of fun... the sound was maybe a bit ropey and not loud enough but the raucously positive atmosphere more than made up for it. Also, perhaps not enough Stevie action... everyone knows he's the real sexgod star of B&S. I also enjoyed all the Sinister meetup antics that went on. I'll give big shouts to all the people I was talking to later. But first I will bore you with what I think is the list of songs performed by everyone's favourite band: Here Comes The Sun There's Too Much Love [that track from the Peel session that starts off with just Isobel singing and then launches into some kind of total poptasm, maybe it's called the happiness of a kind word or maybe it's not] You Know My Wandering Days Are Over (sadly I couldn't remember any of the actions from the dance someone (Andre Alessi?) posted in a while back) Me & the Major [A track my notes aren't too clear on... possibly a newie or a cover called 'Wandering Home'] Slow Graffiti (very nice) The Model Don't Leave The Light On Baby Cool For Cats (with Richard Colburn on lead vocals for this Squeeze number; What's funny about when he does lead vocals is he loses his drummer face) Waiting For The Man (audience member Barry joined the band to sing lead vocals on this Velvet Underground cover; he proved a bit too good at singing and being onstage and stuff to be just some random chancer from the audience, and further enquiries revealed him to be lead singer with Dublin band Da Capo) Simple Things Boy With The Arab Strap Fox In The Snow O Come O Come Emmanuel (again, very nice) Dog On Wheels The Wrong Girl (this time in the style of Barry White) Dirty Dream Number 2 Legal Man [intermission] The Boys Are Back In Town (performance of this Thin Lizzy classic was preceded by Stuart asking us whether we had any Irish in us, leading to amusement on the part of my longtime Lizzyfan special friend; the song featured endlessly hilarious backing vocal action on the part of Chris and Mick) Happy Christmas - War Is Over (surprisingly affecting version of this Lennon track; despite hating John Lennon as an irritating hypocrite I have to admit to thinking this is a nice song, a cut above the usual sentimental "lovely song" arse he is more associated with) It's funny, I never read tracklistings of gigs I wasn't at so I've probably lost most of you by now. Isobel was wearing her Bob Dylan dress with some fetching stilleto boots and looks as mad as ever. Mind you, she didn't seem to be in her usual trance state while performing minor percussion chores, god bless her. Support band The Frames were interesting... I'm still not sure whether they are competent musicians with a good stage presence but nothing special, or whether they actually have a spark of greatness about them. I may have to go see them again or something. Now it's the shouts bit - hail to Psi & James from Derry, Ian & Barbara from Belfast, Daragh and Tim Bambino from wherever they were from, Scottish Rachel & Greek Dimitra whom I only talked to briefly (top marks to Dimitra for guessing that I was on Sinister though... is it that obvious?), list lurker Eamonn & Ruth, and then to the Bus People - Seamus, Louise, Grainne, Seamus' sister, Mark, and er anyone else I was talking to. Like Rener, for instance. Maximum Respect To The Entire Sinister Posse. Remove Your Ampersand T-Shirt And Await Further Instructions. I'm thinking of going to allegedly good Dublin indie club Helter Shelter in the Shelter later in December, anyone else on for it? Likewise, B&S guest star Barry said that his band Da Capo are also playing the Shelter later in the month too... if I'm feeling really mad for it I might catch them too. Oh, and list abuse: fuck you Sinister, you think you're cool, but you're nothing. Nothing I tell you! praise Tobit, DV +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Pull it! Twist it! Flick it! Gahhh!!
by Robert Brennan 28 Dec '01

28 Dec '01

Hello Sinister. It's been a while but SO much has happened lately that... oh hang on. No it hasn't. Anywayyyy... Xmas came and went and left me with some books and bouze and CDs inluding the Lambchop B-sides and rarities compliation Tools In The Dryer which provided a lovely evening's listening. There's a remarkable stripped-down version of The Militant on there as well as the Zero7 version of Up With People. Yum! Oh and I'm addicted to the game of Bop-it Xtreme as well. I couldn't get to any of the gigs this time but from the looks of things everybody had a good time. Thanks to all the Back Reporters for Reporting Back. As for Struan swearing, I still love the moment on my Bowlie Weekender bootleg where the keyboard outro on LLPJ is greeted with a cry of "FUCKIN' HIT IT BEANS!!!" Talking of bootlegs, I like very much the idea of having all the videos on one tape so if Neil and the band have reservations and are currently in a huddle with the Legal Men then maybe an reasonably-priced video or new-fangled DVD would be a really really good idea. I'd buy one. Much better than trying to squint at the ICrunch stream. Doubt if I can make the bowling at the weekend so have fun all you pin-jockeys who are going. Gutter balls tend to be a fact of life when I play anyway. Dave Moore mentioned Mark & Lard's Record of the Week of the Year. I had a look. Someone should have serious words with the Starsailor list.

Sinister: Kenny pished - a dick slap
by Kenneth P Y Chu 28 Dec '01

28 Dec '01

Hello everyone, Oooooooh look I have been a good boy and haven't posted for like 7 days, so you can all love me, once again rather than knowing me as the boy who's always posting. Yup, as you can imagine I am a bit pished and can't really type very well, despite my desperate attempt at trying to type well. Although I think I'm actually doing okay at typing, just bad at constructing the actual sentences, so I'll carry on and see how it goes. I have had a rather wonderful 7 days, headlined by seeing belle & sebastian on the 20th of December, I was thinking about reporting back but then I remembered something.. what I remembered was that I couldn't really remember it all that well. I am glad that the others seem to have reported back sufficiently well tho. Anyway, I really just wanted to write to remind you all that 29th Dec is SINISTER INTERNATIONAL BOWLING DAY! And you should all go bowling. and for London People.. we're meeting at the Canada Water Ticket Hall at 2:45pm, don't be late and my no. is 07967 755446 if you get lost. I will write again, when I'm sober. When I'm much more punderful.

Sinister: a small soul, perhaps, but burning brightly...and guttering on my things like a wave.
by nafees saeed 28 Dec '01

28 Dec '01

i am a boy with shiny nails. on my hands, but only for tonight and for last night also. i didn't really want to have shiny nails, and if i could i would get rid of them...but i can't. so i have shiny nails. of course, having shiny nails has opened me up to much ridicule, especially from my brother but i umm...kinda like them. i don't suppose it's *right* for me to be happy with having my nails shiny, or for me to tilt my fingers upwards and admire them. and occasionally giggle about them, then feel a sense of deep shame which follows quickly. they're not very practical either, whenever they're in the light they glare back at me like mirrors do in the sun. so i have to squint when i type because there is a lamp just above my keyboard and there's no letting up. i suppose i should mention why my nails are shiny. it's a result of "too much christmas" as my friend put it. i'm not sure what that means exactly, but i think it's something to do with just generally being silly and having fun. i was at her house, giving her the present i got her and her little sister showed me her presents. one of them was a beauty kit, which i think is slightly inappropriate for an 8 year old girl. then she said that she couldn't test on animals so i'd do instead (ha!). so she then proceeded to do stuff with stuff then apply some liquid or whatever, then she was finished. i suppose i was trying to almost humor her by letting her do this, then i was going to wash it off afterwards. but, when it came to washing it off it didn't come off. so i have been left with shiny nails. but, apparently it shouldn't last for more than 48 hours, which have nearly passed. so my period of having shiny, attractive nails is nearly over. and i can go back to being hard again. with dull nails. which don't shine. i don't know why i felt the need to mention all that. but i think that will be my only real significant memory of this christmas. and no doubt, when my friend's sister is older we can talk about it. and laugh. christmas was different this year, not in a bad way. it was just different. there was no real reason for it to be so, nothing major has changed over the last year. i think the whole period has just seemed to have passed too quickly, and i don't understand why. it all began in october when i saw the first christmas lights, and then by mid november santa's grotto was open. some people were talking about christmas being a horrible time for them and about how they felt stressed and lonely. i can understand that but i don't think i've ever felt it. i remember talking to somebody who said that there are two forms of loneliness. one, when you have no-one around and one when you have people around you but feel alone. the second one is something that scares me, and something i hope i never have to experience. then i was told that if that's the case you're probably just looking for someone. i started thinking about this because jimmy gilmer wrote "I was a lucky boy, Santy brought me a certain pretty girl this year". heh...i know i'm being a bit silly here. i thought that was the best present you could ever get, apart from maybe a nerf gun. so i was thinking, santa could do something really great here. if he brought us all someone special instead of socks we'd all be a lot happier. i think christmas is necessary though. the year would be so dull without it. there'd be nothing to look forward, and winters would just be even worse. i first started to appreciate it more when my brother left for uni. because it was great when he came back for christmas, then everyone would perk up and there'd be more people in the house apart from just me and my parents. then he started bringing his girlfriend home for christmas and then there'd be even more people in the house and it just got better. i don't know why christmas was different, my dad said he noticed it too. my christmas day started late, me being awoken by my brother coming into my room singing wham's 'last christmas' in his boxer shorts. it was quite funny really, he even got the george michael facial expressions right too. then we loitered round whilst my mum made dinner. which was nice, as it always is. after dinner there was the usual aftermath which involves lazing on the sofa watching crappy tv, which included the queen's speech. we had an invite to my aunt's that evening, and all my family were going to be there...uncles, cousins and such. i don't particularly dislike my family. they're nice enough people but when they're all together they just morph into...bleurgh. i'm not very good at making conversation so i absorbed theirs, which was harmless. it's too easy to tell when people are trying not to offend eachother. i then managed to slip away to my friend's house. i reckon friends are good at christmas, because they're people you actually choose to be with. we had a theme for our present exchanges this year, they had to be under £10 and ultra tacky. that was quite funny, i am now the pround owner of one of those fish tanks that have fake fish in them that are coloured in the most extreme pigments. there's two inside it, named 'arafat' and 'sharron'. my attempt at world peace. they only seem to move when you shake it. we went walking too, looking at everyone's lights and wondering how people can actually think they look good. eventually we passed the church near my old primary school where some local comedian had put a "closed for christmas" sign outside. --- Why is boxing day called boxing day? I could never figure it out. my dad made up some lame story about boxing matches and sailors then quit halfway through. that dvd sounds like a rather ace idea, i hope it materialises. i can remember watching some b&s videos on the rolling stone website if you're looking for some mr video blokey man. someone asked about the video for 'the wrong girl'. it's the one where stevie's in school and gets beaten up at the start...i think. hmm, i'm assuming the manchester bowling thing isn't going to happen now. ahh well, some other time maybe. perhaps i should sneak in some practice so i don't look like a complete fool if it ever does happen. there's rubbish where you look cute trying, and there's just rubbish. take care, nafees. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: The songs which they constantly play, they say nothing to me about life...
by Corduroy Boy 27 Dec '01

27 Dec '01

Having carried a bug-type snuffly thing throughout Christmas, today was the first time I felt able to use my fuzzy head (apart from #sinister, but that doesn't require active thought) and therefore with the aid of lemsip and a fleecy sleeping-bag liner I shall endeavour to write something readable. But fail, nonetheless. I hope you all had a suitably merry/miserly time, as to your liking? I, for one, survived without disaster... there was not even the usual influx of chocolate oranges, which was refreshing. Talking of chocolate: you better share that, Hannah! This video malarky: I hope *something* happens. I would pay, boy would I pay for a video, I have only seen them on "later with rich boy" or whatever, and although always an honour I did not feel they did themselves true justice. Any road up... Saw a genuine (pronounced "jen-u-INE") fox in the snow the other day. I asked him through the glass, "where do you go to find something you could eat?" He scampered off, but I'm sure he was mouthing, "The rabbit hutch in your back garden, you silly bugger." But that could have been the vitamin tablet induced hallucinations. Talking of hallucinations, I had four glasses of wine with Christmas dinner, and *then* a liqueur chocolate. Living on the edge, I tell you. A little nostalgia now: has Jen totally abandoned us? That's not rhetorical, I really would like closure on that one. No, actually, that makes her sound evil. What I mean is, "Jen has not posted for donkey's years. Eh?" Mummy-I've-Grazed-My-Knee: Yes, all that specialised terminology is still in use and *yes*, ribena is still cool. What sort of philistines do you take us for? I like these arrangements of sinister people visiting other sinister people. When B&S next do gigs in far off places...maybe, just maybe... I might even take up your offer, Elise! As long as you allow ribena in your house, dispite the obvious Kool-ade comission... Someone said that Struan was effing and blinding at the gigs. Hardly seems right, does it, at a charity gig? Especially as I vaguely remember it being a childrens charity being donated to. (that could be totally wrong...) Reminds me of the big lebowski, again. "Struan, you sing great songs an' all, but d'ya have to use s'many cuss words?" Ach well, each to his own I suppose. I for one disapprove of swearing, but would *love* to hear Isobel really let rip with vile language, a bit like Brittany Spears was caught doing, but more extreme! Sorry, not very nice, that, is it....(hehe) Right, I better go now. However rambling and meaningless my posts usaully are, they always seem to maintain a degree of fluency and seem to string along, so that even if totally uninteresting it is not very hard work to get to the end. This one is does not own that value, for which I apologise, and if you have come this far I can only try to promise the next will be better. And you need to get out more. Love and chestnut stuffing with mulled wine round a fire, Tom XXXXXXX P.S. Kirsten, if you happen to be keeping a track of Sinister during your visit, have a great time, and wrap up warm. :) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: B&S VCD
by Stuart Flanagan 27 Dec '01

27 Dec '01

Wow!! Thanks to everyone for the terrific response to my original mail re a B&S VCD. At the moment I am compiling the list of all the suggestions. I'm hoping to get started capping what I have in January(when I should have the hardware!). I'm really disappointed that icrunch have removed all the band's vids from their site, although if I recall, they were virtually impossible to download anyway. John made this point... >I'm not sure how the band would react to the fans getting together and >compiling a video tape of the videos. Not well, I imagine. I'd hope they'd be flattered that anybody would want to go to so much trouble. At the minute this project is still in it's embryonic stages - I'd really like a comprehensive list of the band's promos and TV appearance before I begin, so any input from Neil or B&S would be very much appreciated! Obviously though, if they object, I will of course understand. In the meantime, please mail me with any more ideas and I'l hopeful get a full list together and respond to everybody's mails over the next few days! Happy 2002!!
