Sinister: The Rooler's Back
by Peter Miller 21 Dec '01

21 Dec '01

Excuse me please, can I have your attention? There's just a few things I'd like to mention... Unfortunately, I'm going to have to unsubscribe before the inevitable avalanche of Reporting Back from Glasgow and Belfast. I hope they don't do 'Suspect Device', it would be in qu-qu-qu-questionable taste. I would prefer something medieval. However, the smart money's on 'Slim Slow Slider', if that's the correect title. Because the Pastels did it, and Stuart's always been right up Stephen's arse. I might be a bit late to make this prediction. Am I too late? Before I go, I'd just like to mention Pink Floyd's collection 'Echoes'. I realise many of you will be receiving this from Santa, so I won't spoil it, other than to say it is an excellent advertisement for the talents of Mr Syd Barrat. I do like that song 'Wish You Were Here' though, thanks mainly to Wyclef Jean's version. Top one. Congratulations to Lawrence Mikkelson. On the length of his sidies. You and Vanessa look as if you'll be very happy together. Merry Christmas to you all, especially the lurkers. Weren't The Lurkers from Belfast?

Sinister: spin cycle reveries

MyMomSays wrote: I never know what to do with my hands and arms when I am walking. One could move them back and forth merrily, but I always feel sort of dorky doing that. I like to press my fingertips together in front of me or tuck my hands into my sleeves so that they are stiff. But one would look even more dorky doing that. Peter Miller wrote: So far, I've managed to download songs by Kylie Minogue and So Solid Crew, and a *picture* of Lenny Kravitz. I heard that So Solid Crew commissioned the Pinefox to write a song for them. But this "commission" may go the way of the grant for your book on fairy tales. Do you think it's better to use 'fantastic' for an element of fantasy and 'terrific' for an element of terror? I'm not usually this precise. I was about to say that 'Marx and Engels' is a fantastic song, but that's not right: it's good for the exact opposite reason. Has someone already pointed out that the B & S site now has a writing archive? But they forgot to include Stuart's previous entries under the Who section: the one about his school band and the one about going to the laundromat. Somewhere in the SW part of London near the French institute next to a confectionery where they give you your change back on a tray, there's a laundromat that I went to once in 1993 in the pouring rain. I passed by in 1999 to see if it was still there. It was. It's funny how places seems compressed and faraway, from the wrong end of a telescope, when you return to them. On Saturday I watched A Hard Day's Night on video. George Harrison was a very good dancer. All the girls were crazy about him. In the scene where he's teaching that man to shave, he reveals lovely arms to rival Stuart's. There's a girl in the audience that they return to several times during the televised performance. Her adoration is too intense for happiness. The Sunday before that I watched Cathy Come Home. The girl resembles Cathy. Especially when the girl says his name and when Cathy's husband comes back to her in the hostel. It's weird to think that this film was made two years after A Hard Day's Night.

Sinister: belfast v. glasgow
by Dirty Vicar 20 Dec '01

20 Dec '01

so which gig is gonna be better? The warmup night in Glasgow or the real deal in Belfast? That's what I'm wondering. Anyone going to both? Other than the band and their minions, obviously. I've decided we should all shout for 'Suspect Device' by Stiff Little Fingers when B&S call for requests from the crowd. Or maybe for The Special AKA's 'Free Nelson Mandela', seeing as how we'll be in the Nelson Mandela Hall. But 'Suspect Device', that's the one I want. I've decided to start my own religion: The Reformed Church of Tobit. It will be based on the simple precept that The Book of Tobit is the only canonical book of the Bible, and the rest are all apocrypha. Know ye the Book of Tobit? It's about Tobit (obviously) who has a pet dog and meets this woman who is cursed by a demon who keeps killing her husbands on their wedding night. Tobit is able to save the day, fortunately. Well, I mean, of course he is, he is Tobit after all. Praise Tobit. Anyway, see you all at the Empire. I hope there isn't some kind of NME famine in place Up North which will lead to confusion and awkwardness. bless you all.

Hey, guys... I looked on the chat systems link on the sinister webpage, but the option "undernet" has gone from the "network" drop down menu. I'd be really grateful if anyone who chats *without* downloading a client (eg. purely on the webpage) would give me a fairly foolproof overview of how they get on, preferabley asap!

Sinister: etta and andy leave the big city...
by Andy Capps 20 Dec '01

20 Dec '01

hello again to all of you. i tried posting the other week but i don't think it worked. so i'm going to try this again. it seems technology and murphy's law have not been my best friends lately. about a month ago my little kitty and i moved outta the big city. well it's the biggest city in this country at any rate. my poor little bedroom is filled with boxes and boxes and catfood. etta and and i now live in this big house with lots of furniture that we can't sit on. i was also fortunate enuf to not be able to put insurance on the car, so i'm not very mobile in a town built for drivers. but etta and i have been curling up watching eastenders every day at noon and terrorising the corgi that also lives here. i hope all you lovelies have a wonderful christmas or that you had a beautiful hannukah. i'm having star wars'mas this year. i keep getting these little star wars ornaments, so etta and i decided to only decorate a little rosemary tree with them. it was quite satisfying to put a bough of rosemary right up queen amidala's you-know-whatsit...well she was the only thing that i could put ontop of the tree. i think it would be rather dark to have darth vader on top...or maybe is that a better idea...hmmm. i'm sorry i've been absent from the list but i promise i'll be better now. i've been reading all my digests and everything. i'm even starting to go to shows again which is nice. i bought the new single, and stars comback ep, and downloaded too many others. i'm also living in the town now that spawned both the groups sum 41 and do make say think. i'm not sure what to make of that, but i think it should get this little town on the map soon. i should go now, the angel blackwell wants to go shopping and doesn't have the train fare to go by himself. i'll chat with some of you guys later in #sinister...see you there. andy capps P.S. big hugs to amy and her almost winnie the pooh overalls. _____________________________________________________________ the early bird get's the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese... _________________________________________________________________ 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.

by Sam Walton 20 Dec '01

20 Dec '01

Hello all. My, it *is* quiet round here at the moment, isnt it? Ill brighten things up. Maybe. Well, prolly not, but Ill amuse myself for 20 minutes or whatever by writing this. Firstly, a request Im currently in the midst of making a mix-tape for a friend of mine. The theme for the tape is lyrical genius, ie songs which have just absolutely amazing lyrics. Its not about the tunes, its just about the words. Obviously the songs have to be good songs, which therefore needs them to have good tunes, but the songs **must** have lyrics that blow you away/lyrics that move you/lyrics that are socially spot-on etc. And heres where you lot come in. I cant think which B&S songs to include, and so I need suggestions, and reasons for the suggestions answer on an email to the usual address ;-) Theres been a lot of talk on the list at the moment about end of year polls. People seem not to like them much, so just to spite the lot of you, and following on from Asms List Of Top 10 Albums That Say © 2001 On The Back, I proudly present ***ASMS LIST OF TOP 10 SINGLES THAT SAY © 2001 ON THE BACK*** 1. Missy Misdemeanour Elliott Get Ur Freak On 2. Pulp Sunrise 3. Belle & Sebastian Im Waking Up To Us 4. Radiohead Pyramid Song 5. Eels Souljacker Part 1 6. Belle & Sebastian Jonathan David 7. The Strokes The Modern Age 8. Beta Band Broke/Won 9. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Whatever Happened To My RocknRoll (Punk Song) 10. Coldcut Re:Volution Why? Well, a few of them touched me and made me smile (Pulp, B&S), some are just incredibly musical creations (Pulp, Radiohead) but most of them just screamed at me DANCE! DANCE, YA FUCKIN MOOK! GET UP AND DANCE!, in particular Missy Elliott, Eels, BRMC and Coldcut, and I just couldnt resist them. So there. That s *why* I like them too. Finally, as an afterthought, heres ***ASMS TOP 3 SILLY QUESTIONS ASKED IN DANCE RECORDS THIS YEAR*** 1. Why do we build castles in the sky? Ian Van Dahl 2. Wheres your head at? Basement Jaxx 3. Do you really like it? Is it is it wicked DJ Pied Piper & Master Of Ceremonies And on that bombshell, Ill shut up. I love you all, I love you all.

Sinister: Nonsense, darling, I wouldn't lick a German if he was glazed in honey...
by Corduroy Boy 20 Dec '01

20 Dec '01

I found myself pulled into an awkwardly shining post, not recognising the e-mail address of the sender. I should have recognised Gordon a lot sooner. Feeling quite tranquil, to say that B&S are playing tonight and tonight and tonight I shall be at home, enjoying the company that my melancholy reasoning has to offer. I don't think I can bear to listen to them this evening, at least I hope I'm not the kind of person who sits in a glorious technicolour quilt listening to a band whilst turning the lights on and off, pretending I'm there until the bulb goes. I'll probably listen to "The Kings of Convenience", a mellow situation where Nick Drake and Simon and Garfunkel meet in a spherical room with lemongrass scented candles but only have one guitar between three of them, and are encouraged to make percussive sounds from the pile of husky palm leaves in the corner. In fact, the object making the most noise in the room is the pistachio ice cream fountain, which casts slightly textured opal-green light on the sides of the porcelain sphere. I can't believe our favourite Histrianic thinks us to have forgotten, why, in my day we would receive a sturdy post every four days from the very same, and think ourselves the luckier. If only I could remember how long ago my day was. There is a girl, in a cafe, who used to go to the educational establishment I still occupy. She is probably the most beautiful girl that exists in the places near me, so I go there to drink hot chocolate. Luckily, if she *happened* to be on the list, she still wouldn't know as I haven't worn corduroy in there, I don't think. *Damn*, let it out. Oh, well, looks like I'll have to order something different next time. *Damn*. There's always the possiblity of wearing a hat, glasses and fake comedy nose. *Damn*... There is no greater sin than self-indulgence, but I feel strangely relaxed as I know you won't be reading this now, you'll be reading this when you get back from the B&S gig, you lucky, lucky swine. (Plural). I feel an eerie sense of long term deja vu (or however it's spelled/spelt...)... No, wait, I've been here before! What happens is.. we get a trickling of posts as people wish us bon soir before going to the gig. Some non-gig hopefuls suddenly perk up, thinking that sinister might not be as dull as the gig-happenings would suggest, but are only to be disappointed, as they repeatedly hit the send and receive button just waiting for something to receive, but in vain. They like to think they can leave it, but something tells them to keep checking. Finally, at two in the morning, they have to connect again and it takes five incredibly frustrating minutes as the modem buzzes and clicks into life, but they do find a single post coming through. if it was paper, they'd rip it with fumbling hands, but instead the silent cursor wavers over the inbox icon. A short intake of breath, and their sagging eyes read the from line: "Postmaster: re: failed mail." To those other lonely hearts, I'm going to try and have a go on #sinister tonight. (For some reason I couldn't get on last time.) I've never been on before, wish me luck and be gentle. Toxic Girl Corduroy Boy XOXOXOXXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO X PS: Laura: Blackadder again.

Sinister: And little Cindy-lou Who said "That Belle & Sebastian mob are ok, ain't they, Mr Grinch?"
by Jason Andreas 20 Dec '01

20 Dec '01

So, the QMU approacheth soon. Should be interesting. I wonder how many of the kids will last out until the 2am chucking-out time. If anyone wishes to say hello to me, watch out for the tall skinny kid, dyed red hair, wearing a red spiky collar. I may or may not be glittery. Time shall tell. Events will no doubt be of a festive bent. Mayhap there shall quaffing of festive ales and stuffing of chicks. Umm, sorry, I mean turkey. *grin* My head is pounding. Nurofen is not strong enough. Damn the makers of such feeble painkillers. I wonder if I should throw an item of underwear at Belle. It may be amusing, in a surreal way, to see her instant expression of disgust and/or lust at the skid-marked boxers flying towards her. Only kidding. My undies are as pristine as always. Mainly because I'm not wearing any. *grin* Volunteers to start a mosh pit? - Jase +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: "hey, remember when we dated and you were 19 and you thought I was 16? well, i'm really five years younger than you!" "i see." "do you?" "i do."

'ello sinister. I haven't posted in a while, so for those of you who've made it a point not to recognize my ramblings: hello. I think I'll start off with a new name and call myself sethe, because that's usually what my pen name is. So hello, I'm Sethe, and yes, I took that from a Toni Morrison book. This week I let an old boyfriend know I was five years younger than him. A feat accomplished! Someone posted earlier about the perks of being a wallflower, which would be a great book except it was published by mtv. I read some poetry last night which was insanely pretty. It drove me nuts for hours, and left me lonely to no end. When I listen to Tigermilk, the first four minutes and 56 seconds leave me lonely to no end. (IS 'state' four minutes and fifty six seconds? seemed the right number..) The Belle gig is tonight, isn't it? For all of you lucky enough to be attending, have a positively GRAND time. Are any sinister types going to be in New York on january 2? I have nothing planned for that day and it would be nice to meet.. whoever's on the list now and is living in new york. I think I'm meeting up with my friend Max that day, who's also on the list, so you can meet both of us (us being very interesting and.. erm..). Well, I'm vegan. If anyone wants to yell at me for being unreasonably uncompromising, they can email me. If they want to do it in person in NY, even better. :-) I feel an impending sense of responsibility over my head that says "talk about something that's been on the list lately, talk about something that is belle and sebastian related, talk about something that these people can relate to.." Lemony Snicket is brilliant. Along with Nick Bantok. And Sempe. I like books with pictures. Pretty pictures... pretty books. B&S content: an aim conversation had with a friend friend: what do you liiiiike friend: er who me: who do i like? me: i like myself me: and i like men to kiss my arse, expensive clothes.. still me: :-) i talk too much: i crack myself up disgusted and not a belle fan friend: oh you sped sped being special ed. kids, always cracking themselves up, of course... I'm off to read chabon and to think about the reasons why I don't want to see myself on speed. lots of love to you all! cheers h (..i mean) cheers sethe xoxo +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
