Sinister: Amy
by Danny Farrell 13 Nov '05

13 Nov '05

Dear Sinister, What seems like a very long time ago i used to be d@nnypie on this list. I have spent about half an hour trying to find a way to word this well or good or whatever but i really can't find one so i guess this is it: Some of you may remember amyk*ns/amy l*ngcore. She was also on this list a time ago. She passed away on november 2nd. She died of coronary arterial atherosclerosis which as far as i know and have been told is where the arteries clog and harden, usually in a situation like this theillness leads on to a heart attack or some form of heart failure but with amy it was apparently just the atherosclerosis itself that killed her. Just four or five days before she passed she had really bad chest pains and went to the emergency room, they gave her an ekg, it showed that her heart was fine and they told her it must be acid reflux and sent her home. It obviously wasn't. I have been informed if they had done something called an echo-cardiogram they could have spotted the blockage in her arteries and perhaps could have performed surgery to fix it. That never happened but i have no idea how routine a test it is. Basically i don't know if the hospital was negligent and if this could or should have been prevented and i don't know if my hatred and anger towards them is justified or just because i need to be angry at something. Amy was my partner/fiancee and november the 2nd was exactly one year after i returned from spending the best 3 months of my life with her. A lot of her family and close friends from home believe in god, i am not one of them but if he does exist i really hate his sense of humour. We were getting married early spring of next year and she was moving from the united states so we could live together. I know no-one else knew amy in the same way i did, as far as i know very few people met her in person but i think the people who read her posts and chatted with her on #sinister liked her a great deal. I really don't know what to say about her except she was the most beautiful person i have ever met in every way possible. I wanted to write more about her and how wonderful a person she is but i just can't find words right now. I'm sure anyone who remembers her won't need me to tell them anyway. I am trying to put together a website archive of photo's of her. It might take quite a while because sometimes going through all the photo's is too painful to bear. It will happen at some point soon though. If anyone would like to see these just send me an e-mail and i will send you the website address as soon as it is completed. Please take care everyone, D@nnypie xoxo +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Re: Amy
by JAMES GILMER 13 Nov '05

13 Nov '05

Hi, I feel a bit odd writing this, as it's been several years since I was one the sinister list. I peek in a bit every once and a while, and I read Danny's post on the web archives and it was like getting punched in the gut. I'm afraid I didn't know Amy that well, but she was one of the Michigan Sinister people and one day back at the beginning of November I met Amy and her brother at a Quasi/Stereolab show in Detroit and had a fantastic time chatting with the two of them. They followed me to a diner on the way back to my home between Detroit and Grand Rapids and we stayed out a bit and had some food and laughed and had a generally great time. She later posted about it and said nice things about me. She was a charming young lady and her, her brother, and I had a great time laughing at each other and chatting for a time. We kept in touch with a few emails here and there and she always wanted to make it to one of the Great Lakes picnics we had. Then life got in the way and I left the list and lost track of her and here it is years later and Elise asks me if I've read the list lately and did I know an Amy. I can't even begin to imagine what Danny and her family are feeling now and I wouldn't begin to think that any words I had might make things easier on anyone, but Danny mentioned that he hadn't thought many people had met her and I just wanted to say that I had the pleasure and it was a lovely time and she was a lovely young lady with intelligence and energy and it's a poorer world without her. I'm glancing at other windows as I write this. One has Danny's post and the other has a post from Amy from the 4th of November, 2001 and she mentioned the concert and the diner and myself in passing and it makes me smile to think of it and to see her writing where she calls me Mr. Punk Rawk. I've been thinking of that concert and all the laughs I had with her brother and her all day, and I just wanted to say something, to tip my hat to the memory of a wonderful person. I wish I had more to say. I wish I had known her better so I could have something to say. I just wanted to say that once upon a time I had the pleasure of meeting two great people at a concert thanks to the sinister list and years later it breaks my heart to think that one of those lovely people have passed on. Like Danny I don't believe in any type of god, so I don't have any prayers for her, but I have memories and my thoughts are with Danny and Amy's family. Take care, Danny. To all the old sinster kids, cheers, and bless the lot of you. Jim. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Other famous people who wore cloaks apart from Charlotte's friend G: - DOCTOR WHO (third incarnation innit) - Dracula (I once read a rubbish COMIC poss in BUNTY about a mysterious Dr. Ula who appeared in a small country village and then oh noes!! all this patients started dying. Blah blah some stuff, and then he dies for some reason, and the one girl who felt sorry the lonely doctor visits his gravestone to find out it reads DR. A.C ULA! Spooky eh) - Dumbledore from Harry Potter (possibly all the other wizardly little tykes too, I dunno) NOT Batfink, because he had WINGS of steel, not CLOAKS of steel. Come now. I support this Belle & Sebastian cloak wearing initiative. However, did not the OBSERVER FASHION RAG (end times alert #32498573297) state that it is actually "cloak/coat hybrids" that are de rigeur this season? I dunno, I only have two coats. One is grey and enormous, and the other is ummm, "camel" colour. It either makes me look cool and sophisticated or a bit like Arthur Daley. I have been practising saying 'goh-uh new moh-ur' in my best glottal stopped cockney accent just in case.

Sinister: Review of 'B&S: Just a Modern Rock Story'
by Ana Cristina Morais 04 Nov '05

04 Nov '05

hey everyone, found this today on http://www.bookslut.com/blog/ <<Anne Marson looks at Paul Whitelaw's Belle and Sebastian: Just a Modern Rock Story, and finds it interesting but way fanboyish. âIndie godâ: Itâs a term that Glaswegian arts writer Paul Whitelaw uses unashamedly in his new book, Belle and Sebastian: Just a Modern Rock Story. The biographer is clearly smitten with his subject â which is both blessing and curse. As its press demurely attests, Whitelawâs book is âTHE FIRST BIOGRAPHY OF BELLE AND SEBASTIAN â WRITTEN WITH THE BANDâS COOPERATION!â And that cooperation surely came courtesy of a couple of well-placed smooches.>> and here's the link to the full article: http://www.altweeklies.com/gyrobase/AltWeeklies/Story?oid=oid%3A152433 tchau, ana +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Cloaking device
by Charlotte Pache 03 Nov '05

*Extreme shallowness alert!* A rapid scan of recent emails I missed reveals a proved-to-be-controversial mail from Stuart asking for Sinister extras. My eye was caught by this line: "How about the odd cloak?" Well, exactly: how about the Odd Cloak? Clearly someone must have it somewhere in the back of their wardrobe. Stuart may, or may not (and I suspect the latter) be aware that cloaks are *everywhere* in the shops this season (yes, even in Hong Kong where it could hardly be described as cloak weather even now). Cloak is one of those words which, repeated to the point of nausea, becomes meaningless. My friend G, always a sartorial pioneer, used to sweep down the streets of Edinburgh in her cloak long before Alexander McQueen made them de rigeur again (and if you don't believe me, check out the fetching green one in his A/W 2005 collection here: http://www.alexandermcqueen.com - perhaps not quite the look that Stuart had in mind?) - oblivious to the dogs barking, old ladies choking and children crying in her wake.

Sinister: New album news
by Angela M. Smith 02 Nov '05

02 Nov '05

Here's the original article here: http://www.nme.com/news/belle-and-sebastian/21375 --------------------------------------------------------- Belle & Sebastian have named their new album 'The Life Pursuit'. The follow-up to 2003's Mercury-nominated 'Dear Catastrophe Waitress' is out on February 6. The spent the summer in Los Angeles' Sunset Sound studios with Beck producer Tony Hoffer working on the record. Singer Stuart Murdoch told NME the seven-piece group threw out their regular instruments as part of the writing process for the new album. He revealed: "The process of making the record has been amazing. The last record had quite a few older songs on it because we were working with Trevor (Horn) and we wanted to give them a proper go with big arrangements. This record is all new songs - 18 of them - so it's all very current. It's us pretty much writing in a circle and writing within the group." Working titles include 'Song For Sunshine', 'Funny Little Frog', 'Sukie In The Graveyard', 'Another Sunny Day', 'Act Of The Apostle Part I' and 'A White Collared Boy'.

Sinister: five years...
by feather boa 30 Oct '05

30 Oct '05

dear sinister, 51 weeks without posting, is this some kind of record etc etc. (i doubt it) it's my five year school reunion next friday. i'm still debating whether to go, the question being, really, how much i have changed vs how much other people have changed. sinister, you're virtually the only thing that is the same about my life now and my life five (and a half) years ago, when i left school. (that is if you discount the fact that i'm still living with my parents and my cat due to underemployment issues). it's hard to know how much i've changed. i'm going grey, it's not really a character trait though, is it? the trouble being that even if i've changed dramatically over the intervening period, will i just transform back into my eighteen (or worse sixteen)-year old self the moment i step through the school entrance? since walking to my a-levels with fishyclap on my walkman, i've seen the band play five times (is that all?), they've released one proper album, a soundtrack and a best-of and a crackingly good dvd. mmm, times have changed. have the other girls at school? ultimately i think this is going to be a last minute decision based solely on how much i like the clothes i'm wearing and whether my hair is doing what i want it to do on friday afternoon. in other news, i set up a sinister group on last.fm [http://www.last.fm/group/Sinister] come and join it if you want. last.fm (if you don't know already) is ace - it collates all the music you're listening to on your computer and makes up your own personal charts, then if you join groups you get group charts, and also group radio that you can listen to (for instance) at work, where you don't have your records. and it's free. which is my favourite price. pip pip, fb X -- ************************************************************** featherboa.blogspot.com - staring blankly at my navel +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.

Sinister: Confession of a not-computer-nerd
by Matilda Liljedahl 27 Oct '05

27 Oct '05

Holy Golightly, I love it when two of my favorite things in life meet and form a new thing constituted of pure joy. I'm quite sure this will be the case with the Belle and Sebastian-comics-album. I've finally discovered cyperspace. I know it's been there for a while, But I always seem to forget it. That it's possible to listen to music online, for example, striked me some weeks ago. Unfortunately, now I've moved from my hometown, and also from my parents and freinds who've got speakers to their computers. I read in one of the tweeblogs (which I haven't thought of looking after either, and therefore haven't found until about a month ago) a text about how the writor missed the charm of hearing of a band, feeling they must be "The Band For Me" but not being able to listen to them instantly. Well, that's definitely a feeling that I haven't lost, and I guees there's some charm in such a feeling, but I actually find it mostly frustrating. But soon I'm going to Göteborg, home sweet home, with oh so many computers with speakers and second hand record shops. I have the feeling I will return here with a lot less money, but smiling. Smile on. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister(a)missprint.org.
