Sinister: "da sound of da baby jesus!"
by Hannah Louise Brown 22 Dec '01

22 Dec '01

greetings people I have just spent the past hour on another site that is very funky and most definitly not twee. They say things like "banging", "respect", and (dare i say it), "big ups". So i apologise now if i sound a bit "bo selecta" at any point in dis post. somebody (and forgive me for forgetting who) mentioned not knowing what to do with their arms when they walk. i always get like that when i am nervous around someone. I think that is why some people smoke. I don't smoke but what i used to do was tear up beer mats or make them into funny shapes but my friend told me that's a sign of sexual frustration, so i tried to keep my hand between my legs after that.I am not so bad now but when i was a teen i used to shake lots and found the act of drinking very difficult. i remember talking to a lovely bloke, it was all going well and then i decided to drink from my pint and i over estimated the distance and angle needed and spilt it all over my face and glasses.I never know what to do with my feet either. Nobody knows this (until now) but whenever i see a cute guy i always scrunch my feet up really tight to stop myself going pink. anyway, none of that is interesting whatsoever. Thanks everso to niko and courdory boy for brigtening up my christmas with chocolate and BRILLIANT illustrations. Expect something fun soon (ish). Sam was talking about B&S songs with great lyrical content and off the top of my head i can think of two. Feeling sinister and maybe slow graffiti? The problem with this is it is so personal and is probably impossible to find one song that most people agree on.There are some tracks from tigermilk that i adore because the lyrics relate to my experiences. hopefully i will go bowling although i may not be able to stay long, i can however assure you that i will look a prick and may even fall over on the lanes. Big ups to my crew BO! love hannah +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: i long for all of them to fall in love with you but they never do

oh its one of those joint sinister type mailings! i'm here with louise attempting this for the second time! you'd think that between us we'd be able to come up with a decent mail - but apparantly not. the belfast gig last night was amazing - not a guitar smashed!!! tho' isobel did kinda break her cello, but there was no harm done in the end. [well there was kinda weird noises coming out of it during 'fox in the snow' and she looked all embarrASSed (that's seamus typing NOT me) and smiled and looked round to sarah to make sure everything was ok! the set list seems about the same as glasgow - covers were 'cool for cats' and 'the boys are back on town' and 'this is christmas' and another we can't remember[the diry vicar has the setlist in his little pocketbook (where he writes down his confessions!)]. And then of course the velvet's 'waiting for the man', for which they invited up a audience member to, not only sing, but completely rock out, and play the part of a rock star for one night, "tonight matthew, barry ryan from dublin IS lou reed!" rewind a bit, and the bus people who traveled up from dublin [shoutouts to listees mark, grainne, trish (surrounded all night by her blokes!)] missed meeting the northern type listees in the empire - apparently they did do the whole sitting with ribenas and nme's (contradiction ahoy!) but they managed to collar us during the gap between the frames(who were fecking marvellous!) [basically they spotted seamus in the crowd!] (actually i was standing beside listee rener through out it!) and there was a big sinister listee love-in(including a group photo!) and some actual love-in when everyone had their backs turned! not naming names but one's not that far away at this exact moment in time! back to louise again: daragh - great to see u again,make sure you mail as you promised and have a great holiday! over to seamus again; okay we have to do mentions to everyone we met: dublin listees: but busphobics the dirty vicar(filthy more like) and rener, the other ian(complicated i know) mckinnon and barbara, simon(tall) and james(on the balcony! better view down the front - cause i did both in my search for my extra-camera-film-holding sister,daragh and his girlfriend(happy birthday!), all the bus people(again) our annoying driver(just say NO! to Country&Western christmas songs kids!) ...and lastly tim. bye bye sinister ---- http://www.iol.ie +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

hello and a very merry Christmas to you all Im sitting round at home just chilling out...watching the snow fall outside and listening to indie music from back when it was good. Dinosaur Jr the pixies the pooh sticks flowered up etc. Why is it that only our heroes B&S are getting any recognition for making good old fashioned indie pop these days. Other than that all we can get is the boring drone of coldplay travis etc or the joke rebel rock of the strokes and you will know us... etc. If i had any talent id form a band just so that there was a dsifferent option out there of course i have no talent and so I'll complain to you lot instead. Sorry 'bout that. Lots of you will have been to the gigs over the last two days and im sure we'll get lots of reports but i couldn't go so here is a gig report in the style of a premiership footballer instead. "Well errr obviously I'm delighted with the performance and err obviously I'm happy with the result. Errr it's nice to be given praise obviously but errr it was a fantastic team performance you just have to errr look at the performances by Jackso and Cookie to see that and errr Struan obviously. Errr thanks for speaking to me, errr." Speaking of Christmas and old indie and football (as i have been you see this is sort of a link) Half Man Half Biscuit once sang 'All I want for Christmas is a Dukla Prague away kit' and I'd just like to take this oportunity to point out that the home kit is much nicer cos it's a lovely shade of wine red and that if anyone wants to buy me a present that would do nicely :) I got quite excited when people kept saying it was the time for end of year poles but it turns out this meant best of lists and not the traditional festive season alcohol fueled shag fest that I thought they meant. Still I'm off out to get drunk tonight so plenty of time for my sort of end of year pole hehe. on that smutty note I'll leave you luv'n'hugs owen ***************************************************************** so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens (William Carlos Williams) 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.

Sinister: Someone's forever blowing bubbles... (The Belfast gig story)
by Simon Fallaha 22 Dec '01

22 Dec '01

Well, hello again everyone. I'm listening to the really catchy Sleep The Clock Around at the minute, after just having come back home to Derry from the Belfast gig. Quite a number of Sinisterines were present - myself, my friend Jim, Dirty Vicar, Ian, Rener, Daragh, Seamus, Grainne, Seamus's sister and Ian's girlfriend Barbara. First of all, onto the concert. Some of us met up in the Empire but there was no space to eat there, so we had to go to Bishop's. Ah well. We spent a lot of time in the Empire drinking anyway, and got to know each other (it was well worth it). So down to the QUB it was, and I haven't been there for two years. Once I got inside I wished I could've been there to see The Divine Comedy. It beats the Nerve Centre hands down. That said, I'm glad that I wasn't at the front (I left the Super Furries concert last month almost deafened - I got a far better view standing upstairs). Unfortunately we had to endure The Frames beforehand. No offense Daragh, but they are dull (I think me, Jim and Barbara were struggling to keep awake during their set!!!). The probability is that they got drunk before actually singing on the stage. Luckily we didn't have to wait long for B & S to arrive (and at this point I remembered how long I had to wait for the Super Furries). And they even had someone to introduce them. The verdict? Well...brilliant. One of the best - probably THE best - rock concert I have ever been to. Stuart was really enjoying himself (especially during Me and the Major) and Isobel, while cute and wearing this interesting dress, didn't defy the belief that she is a bit of attention seeker (can you explain the bubble blowing near the end any other way? And, as Jim pointed out, was she getting RSI during the opening number?). People say she's like that at every other concert they play at. Steve, the drummer, the three violinists (Belfast Bob was one of them, right?) and Sarah Martin were all great. I believe me and a few others got a picture taken with the lovely Sarah afterwards. Mind you, Jim went one better - a photo with someone from Starsailor as well (congrats Jim!). I recognised only four songs. Fox In The Snow, The Boy With The Arab Strap and Legal Man were the only other ones that came to mind barring the Major. And I don't even know all the words to them. But I had no idea B & S were this versatile. I loved their versions of O Come, O Come Emmanuel, and also the drummer's (I already forget his name) Madness cover (it sounded like one anyway). What I also didn't know is that they invite someone from the audience to sing at nearly every concert. On this occasion it was someone called Barry who Daragh claims to know, and I spoke to him afterwards (his sister claimed that he had 'balls of steel' for getting up and singing). I know, no matter how often I sing, that I wouldn't have been able to do what he did. Besides, what did he sing again? Was it an Elvis cover? The band did a good cover of The Boys Are Back In Town (not one of my favourite songs, but I still enjoyed it), and finished with a Christmas song (unlike Ash last year, they seemed in a real mood for the festive season, didn't they? I think the difference lies in their versatility). Well, fellow Sinisterines who were present, did you manage to pick up much merchandise? All I got were some badges (and I was wearing two of them during the concert). The thought of buying a T-shirt never existed, considering how much I've worn the one I bought at the Ash concert in Derry a year ago. It was only a pity that we didn't go to the Limelight afterwards, but never mind. And here come my notes to everyone... Daragh, Dirty Vicar - you were great company, you really know a lot about music. Mind you, DV, does anyone on the list agree with you about Boney M? And Daragh, I hope your girlfriend had a good birthday in the end. Remind me what your favourite band is again. Ian (and Barbara) - thanks for your company, and I hope I'll hear from you again soon. Rener - I've just been reading some of your previous posts on the site, they are cool (unfortunately I don't have them in my Inbox anymore). Seamus and sister - did you really have a better view downstairs? Grainne - hope you got back home ok. Didn't see you that much so I'm not sure how much you enjoyed it. Anyway, it was nice meeting you. All of you that I met in Belfast - it was fun meeting and talking to all of you, and I hope to hear from you all again soon.

Sinister: but there still is hope, yes i can be healed.
by lindsey baker 22 Dec '01

22 Dec '01

hello sinister. i thought the other day that it had been a while since i posted. not a particularly long or short while, but a while. and so. i wrote. and then, in the grand tradition of writing on days when the writing starts out shitty and gets to feeling quite sweet at the end, i lost the post to the abyss of lost emails behind the door that is actually a page saying 'not found.' perhaps it was the command that was not found. but maybe it didn't send because the purpose wasn't found. most days i myself am not found, and if i am, if the purpose is, i know all the satisfaction and anticipation of the closed door that is actually a page saying 'message sent.' i have been spending too much time in #sinister of late. i have started to remember again when i first stumbled into sinister, pink and dewy with newness and feeling like that kid with whom nobody ever asks to play four square. the kid who, eventually, after watching the somebodies toss one of those red or yellow textured playground balls around for awhile, watches a bounced ball smack her in the face. i was always that kid. once, i junior high, someone threw a basketball at my head during p.e. i got hit. my glasses flew off, promptly breaking into two multi-colored pieces, and i got to go home because i couldn't see. but i could hear. now, i feel like the kid who got to the coveted red playground ball first, and some days i can't decide toward which of the people outside my square i'd like to chuck the ball. and some days, that feeling makes me feel mean, but then i leave the computer lab and fall down on the way to my car, and watch and listen to a university parking meter man double over in laughter as i slowly pick myself up off the dirt, brush myself off and get in my car. and while i take down my hadicapped parking pass so that i can see through the windsheild properly to drive, i feel sorry for the meter man because his car is idling while he writes tickets, and his radio is blasting creed. for that man, the message and all commands will always be 'not found.' and i wish i would have said something. i wish i would have said 'merry christmas' or 'happy hanukkah' or 'fuck you.' and thinking of that makes me think that maybe, this year, in america, there is no difference between the three of those sayings. i would have meant any one of them as the last, but maybe every american wants them all, in some way, to mean the last. and maybe that's why in a year where it doesn't feel like christmas and where there has been but one dusting of snow, there have been a multitude of home-sponsored light shows, featuring santa and jesus and a big twinkling american flag. that laughing parking attendant and those kids that throw playground balls at each other have rallied patriotism and love and american family values and strung them all up in 500 feet of green wire and light bulbs, hoping to shadow the simple truth that they are only scared and lost and hoping to get back to something they cannot name so that they may first end the in-house war. you can't take the stars from the sky to light your trees, and i have the right to burn the stars on the flag. and the little kids who started out inside the square become the man who will laugh at the crippled people who don't look like cripples, and the little kids who stood outside of the square become the cripples who learn how to walk. and one day they all learn how to say 'fuck you' in a multitude of beautiful and diverse ways. i am still not found. the message is still not found. maybe #sinister is just a place to hide after all, a playground of sorts for the people whose glasses have broken in two pieces. well then. happy christmas. war is well. war is. lindseylou ______________________________________________________________________________ Send a friend your Buddy Card and stay in contact always with Excite Messenger http://messenger.excite.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Like (no longer) an Offbeat virgin, touched for the very first (and not last) time...
by Richard Cottyn 21 Dec '01

21 Dec '01

Yes indeedy. Finally made my 'debut' as it were at Sheffield Offbeat last week. I wasn't quite drunk enough to dance (though maybe next time!) so I sat in one of the corners singing along to anything I knew and loved (ie The Smiths mainly and of course, our beloved b&s). Sinister quote of the week: "There might even be prizes for Twee-est bowling action"-Posted by Ben Apps. I was laughing at this for ages-not quite sure why exactly, but I could just imagine lots of Sinisterines walking up to the lane on their go and attempting a bowling swing of an incredibly twee nature. Is that what I should call everyone-Sinisterines? Or is it Sinisterettes? Or is that one just for ladies? And How about Sinisterars? Sinisterees? Somebody please clarify this because it's beginning to annoy me. I won't be able to sleep tonight through not knowing the right one-so please be quick with your clarifications! And now, a charming little story that you will no doubt leave you going "that was a charming little story". I have a Saturday job in a department store where the average customer age is about 60. I went in last week for 11, and I was a couple of minutes late. A work colleague said to me "you're nice and early Richard" and i thought she was been sarcastic. It turned out though that I wasn't supposed to be in til 12! grrr! So i thought, I'll go to Fopp (good, cheap record store) and buy some CD's. Thats when Tracey (supervisor) stops me and says "Ooo, Richard-could you go and buy a CD for me-its a Christmas present for my daughter". So i said "yea sure". Tracey says "she wants it you see...they are her favourite band at the moment...erm...'so solid crew' i think they are called." I have a quick glance around for Jeremy Beadle. At this point, the advent calender falls off the wall-it was obviously suffering from shock too! I (grudgingly) said "yes, sure, I'll go and get it" and i made sure the man in the record store knew it wasnt for me! I also think I managed to pick it off the shelf without anyone noticing! I should be a secret agent. I managed to find Felt's 'Absolute Classic Masterpieces' too at long last-I don't think Tracey understood when i told her about the little dance of joy i did down the 'rock&pop' aisle. Anyways, thats it from me! (Shouts of Hurrah from the back...) I hope santa brings you all nice things! Richard x P.S. Please appreciate the Christmas kiss I have so generously given you! +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: A Brief Review
by ~ boywiththearabstrap 21 Dec '01

21 Dec '01

Well, There is no other way to describe it.The band were fantastic.A mix of B&S favourites mixed with a fantastic range of covers from George Harrison, Bowie,The Byrds,Free, Thin Lizzy, and many more.The support band were very good also. The Suckles.And even the words of Alasdair Gray were well recieved by most, although some dissent from the floor.This really is a band playing with confidence.Fantastic 10/10 _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: bah sweet minty humbugs
by Daplyn Elizabeth 21 Dec '01

21 Dec '01

Walking down to town avoiding the dyspeptic shivering pigeons pecking at last night's festive vomit only half washed away by the graceful early morning rain that woke me falling against the bathroom skylight. Thinking in a Friday daze that I have to unsubscribe once again due to the unchancy nature of temping. Listening to the tompaulin album which finally arrived yesterday from Rough Trade along with a bundle of other lovely stuff. I must admit I'm quite a convert to vinyl, but just for things like singles that I'll only listen to at home, as a Dansette is kind of bulky even for my capacious tweed coat-pockets. 'On the buses' would have been tritely appropriate, so I was glad to sink into the wonderful double bill of 'kicking and punching' and 'the boy hairdresser' as my Stagecoach stagecoach drew away from stand 11. Waiting through a last day of bad radio - full of all the crap that is thought of as seasonal. I'd quite like to hear David Bowie and Bing Crosby doing 'Little Drummer Boy' for full-on surrealism value (what in hell went through their coke-addled minds?), but I'll settle for Nat King Cole, who is the least offensive option, or so it seems to me. I'd rather listen to 'Why That Doesn't Surprise Me' by The Lucksmiths, though, so maybe I'll sneak it into the CD player later. Sometimes I'll get an album when it comes out and just not feel like listening to it, then after a while I'll have an epiphany. Not anally indie-punctual, but it suits me. Oh, those Luckies. Three lovely lads, two of them bleedin' gorgeous and also moderately talented songwriters, one somewhat less blessed with the pretty stick and a complete bloody genius. 'Are you torn in two When I talk to you? 'Cause I'm torn in three When you talk to me' Candle Records, yum. Get stuff sent from Australia, blimey, and it's still cheaper than buying it in the UK. Eurgh, the novelty earrings and forced corporate good cheer is getting to me. I suppose I should make an effort to rid myself of habitual seething contempt when confronted by such social lubricants, but I'll probably stick with the angst for a while yet. Well, that's me, I suppose. Replies, comments, abuse to: lizdaplyn(a)hotmail.com for the forseeable future.
