>every advantage has it's disadvantage. whoever guesses this quote and is not from >holland gets a mix-cd with dutch and belgium bands. While it's actually an old English proverb, it was uttered by Dutch ex-football star Johan Cruijff, and I assume that's to whom you are referring. (and I'm american :) Today, my socio prof taught me the secret to appearing very edified in any situation: rub your chin thoughtfully and say, with conviction, "Well, *actually*, it's a little more complicated than that." I tried it twice today, and lo and behold -- I like that phrase, 'lo and behold', it's great for hyperbolic narratives -- it worked quite well. I will be in trouble, however, if someone ever asks me to explain *why* exactly it's more complicated. And Kenneth is now my best friend because he loves me. I will assume he loves me because I need someone on the list to love me, and Kenneths as good as any. `er`n PS -- why is Sinister neglecting to post my mails? Most unusual. (and if this has gone through a bunch of times, I appologize. I only sent it twice, I promise). PPS -- how is a duvet really any different from a blanket? On my bed, I have a big comforter, flannel sheets, and light blanket (all of which I use to build a little nest everynight. And yes, I turn around three times before I curl up). Is there something special about a duvet that would offer me a fundamentally better sleep experience? And, if so, could I measure this quantitatively? _____________________________________________________________ Are you lazy?

Sinister: 1 shameless plug + 1 rambling post =
by breams plural 12 Dec '01

12 Dec '01

Hello there I am going to try and make this first bit of the post rather short, as I'm about to move into the realm of shameless plugging. Those of you that frequent #sinister more often than never, will most probably have heard me rambling about some stupid demo or its associated website. Well, the time has now come for me to beg you all to give it a look, and more importantly a listen. In fact, the website is pointless and you will find absolutely nothing there except for my songs, which you must all now listen to under threat of scowling. Right, so to sum up the point of this post, go and look at my website. Ok? Good. Oh yeah, the address...almost forgot. http://www.breams.co.uk Handy huh? If you can't be bothered going through the two pages preceding, then just head to http://www.breams.co.uk/music.htm Even handier huh? Well, that's enough shamelessness I promise I won't do that again (this year). SOOOOO, back to real posting... I'm back in London now, after a brief spell in Glasgow. Or maybe I'm having a brief spell in London before going back to North Carolina. Then again, I could've just been passing through Perth for 20 years before getting back home to Glasgow. It's all very confusing. I've just spent the last few days sitting in front of my computer (what's new I see you say) trying to waste time whilst waiting for my afore mentioned website to materialise in front of my eyes. Eventually I realised I might have to extend myself a bit more to get one done. So, yeah, now that's all done and I'm kind of stuck for things to do. I've got a very small collection of mp3s here that are keeping keenly interested. I seem to have re-fallen for Astral Weeks. I somehow managed to leave my copy in Perth before leaving and have spent very little of the last 3 months longing for it, but now that I've heard it again, I've developed that homesickness type pang for it. Speaking of falling for things and/or people. I think I'm in love with Stina Nordenstam. I have a strange feeling that I can hear some people sniggering upon hearing that, but I'm not quite sure I care. I love her last 3 albums and I have been playing them all continuously. Though if it makes any of you feel any better, I've also been playing Things We Lost In The Fire continuously too, so all is not lost. I went to see those Obscura guys on Saturday. Not bad really ;) The dancing at Strange Fruit was equally fab. I'm not sure I can say a great time was had by all, I would expect so, but I was too busy dancing like a fiend to notice. Hmm, and I talked to lots of London peoples, and danced with some, and got headbutted by others. In the wee hours I had a chat with Struan about seeing other people, he told me all about it. I managed to avoid sleeping altogether that night as I returned home sometime after 4am and had things to make and do. So the next day/night/whatever was spent comatose on the lounge watching 4 star wars films and eating cold pizza. Sometime that evening I decided to sleep. So, the days have passed and I've still got 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover playing (ok then, not JUST Van, Stina and Low) and wondering why he didn't include a list of the 50 ways. If I were Paul Simon, I'd most certainly have given written instructions on the finer points. Perhaps not 50 ways, maybe just the top 10 or 20, but certainly in more detail. Well, I guess I've now waffled enough to justify this as a real post either way, plus I almost has content, well about as close as I get anyhow. Even though I promised not to, I'm going to give you all that website address again (www.breams.co.uk) just so that after reading all of this you can go off and listen to my songs again and understand the confusion slightly better. I really should shut up now. *waves* Jeremy _________________________________________________________________ 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.

Sinister: sinister: belfast pubs.
by daragh lynch 12 Dec '01

12 Dec '01

hello sinister, it's been quite a little while since i posted (two years maybe) but with all this talk of a pregig meetup in belfast i thought i'd chip in. i feel pretty well qualifed to field this one, having practiced my drinking 'hobby' round these parts for some time with tim and ian. i agree with tim about the bot or botanic inn. it's pretty horrible, especially at weekends. the eg is pretty bad too. all the nice bars in belfast are slowly disappearing, turning into upmarket winebars, or being jazzed up but losing all their character in the process. the menagerie is pretty nice, and about the most sinister bar in belfast (and not in a bad way.) but i'm not too sure, there could be a drum n bass night there that night. (there is every second friday) the empire is really good though, and bar twelve which is just across the road. both are just five minutes walk from the union. but i'd definitely recommend the bunatee in the union for the pre-gig meetup. its in the the same building as the venue (its on the same floor too!) and it's recently been renovated and is actually better for it. oh yeah, since it reopened they've had a funk/soul night on fridays, which is pretty good fun and free to boot. i'm not too sure if it'll be on though as it is outside term time. i'll look into it and well, report back. everyone coming should make sure to bring i.d. with them, as the bouncers (or 'disco council', d.c.'s as they're known. no. honestly.)at the union are really strict and you won't get in without it. everyone is checked, so make sure. seamus, i'll see you at the gig, we'll catch up. dublin meetup reunion and all that. is little louise from limerick still on the list? ok, better sign off. its late and better go to bed. have to get up early tomorrow. for the past two days i've been working for a market research company carrying out a survey on cider drinking. i cold call people and ask them if they like cider. most people think i'm taking the piss. love, daragh ps. tim, sorry i've been so lazy. i'll write soon. promise. _________________________________________________________________ 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: the dream approaches
by Seamus Harte 12 Dec '01

12 Dec '01

Its one of those days that your vanity has taken over, and everytime you turn, and stare into the mirror, you think you look bloody gorgeous. Even though you called in sick to work this morning after awaking and puking everywhere. So you spent most of the day sleeping in your sister's bed cause you could still smell puke in your room. And when you wake up again, you contemplate the phenomenon of 'girls rooms' - how one reminds you of others. And you get up, and decide not to eat anything just in case, and you still haven't ate anything. And my mom's gave out to me about it, inbetween giving out about me walking on my flared cords, and decided because I'm sick, I'm more of a five year old than I normally am, and offered me chocolate and fishfingers and tea! Leaving all that for a moment, Mark Sweeney has been an absolute star organising the dublin to belfast minibus. I shall be buying him a pint of whatever he chooses in wherever the belfast pre-gig meet up venue is - 'the menagerie' seems most likely I think. 'I'm Waking Up To Us' - sounds like stuarts been shagging my ex-girlfriend again. But with recent posts I've realised that one of my recent crushes (ever since I saw her crawling out of her duvet at the start of the 'eighties fan' video) is in fact stuart's current beau. Oh and rachel fruitloop - I'm not the same seamus that you sold your new york b&s tickets to back in '98. I probably should go and get snuggled up in bed now.

Sinister: Nooooooo!
by Astrid Wiezell 12 Dec '01

12 Dec '01

[above part to be shouted in slow-motion-style] I haven´t heard anything. Nope. Struan is as single as.. as.. er.. what stays single? ah, me. Yes. Even though I am embarrassed for my post last nite (oops, too much strokes-listenings there, i wrote "nite" without thinking about it) - I must say I am in strong denial. Wait, I do not want to marry him anyway. (I want to, but I´ll pretend from now on that I don´t want to). Astrid - young and, er, vital. Struan - old and.. boring? He´s not even old. Ah, this is going to be hard. But Hell, I can make it. Oh SOD IT ANYWAY. I was just about to write him an e-mail, I´ve been thinking about it for ages but I don´t want to anymore. [space for you lot to imagine me making childish pout with my lips] I got the It´s a cool, cool christmas Cd with the mail yesterday, burnt from a girl on the internet. i can´t get it hear, you see. Anyway, I love the B&S-song on it, O come, o come Emanuel. But I bet no-one else likes it, because it has never been mentioned before. What do you think about it? I think it´s lovely. But then I always like stuff that everyone else think is crap. Today I fell asleep on my bed, and I when I woke up, and hour and a half after I fell asleep by mistake, I realised that absolutely NOTHING had happened and as soon as I woke up, two things happened which I had been waiting for all afternoon happened. Very strange. We practised for the Lucia-thing today. It went quite alright. At first, all the boys just shouted and made strange dark sounds, so anyone who actually *sang* couldn´t be heard. But then something happened. I do not know what it was, but all of the sudden, we all started singing and it sounded very pretty, none of the boys tried to be funny by singing all wrong or something... it was the first time that i´ve felt that christmas is coming. it was so nice. tomorrow i have to get out and buy one of those white lucia-white-robe-things. right now though, i feel like just hanging a sheet over myself, cut a hole for my head and roughly saw it together. no-one would notice my budgetversion. but i´m not even paying for it myself, so why do i even bother? i have been feeling melancholy today. i think it´s the weather. it was dark when i left for school. adter school me and some friends were going to the youth club. we took the bus. it was closed due to no heat there. it had broken down or something. we went home. it was dark. it felt horribly depressing. but the luciathing will be so pretty. i hope i can get someone to take some pictures. it will be pretty. with all the lights and all that. i am now half-asleep and still wrote a bloody dull post. ah. fuck it. Astrid x p.s. Did you know that in swedish Kiss means Urin. To go and 'kissa' is to go and pee. I think of that and get quite disgusted. but i still laugh. (he he he). but isn´t it weird that something that nice can mean something that un-nice in another language? speaking of that, there´s always a lot joked about Brad Pitt, cause in swedish, Pitt is like dick. There´s lots more. And the number Six is called Sex. the funniest ever misunderstanding was when my mum was counting how many of the people at our house who wanted coffee (we had guests) and my sister Mikaela´s english friend Daniel was there, and my mum pointed at him and said "SEX!" and he got terrified and said "Er.. what?". but she was just counting. [space for stupid Astridlaughter]. another uninteresting story from Astrid (c) p.p.s when i was a kid, everyone would say "I buy pink sheets", because it translates, roughly in swedish like "ouch poo pee shit". [space for even more stupid Astridlaughter when remembering how everyone would say it and feel very dangerous and wild, afraid that a gownup might hear it. haha. stupidious.] _________________________________________s_p_r_a_y_ Här börjar Internet!

Sinister: tis the season to be b&s'y...
by Richard Cottyn 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

Tis indeed. But then again, I'm b&s'y all the time! It's over a year since the day I walked into my local record shop and thought "I haven't bought an album for a while", and I just got that urge (like you do) to just pick something off the shelf and buy it. IYFS attracted by eyes, and i thought "Belle and Sebastian? Oh yea I've heard of them". So I assigned it to the benevolent homo sapien behind the trestle, who duly deposited it into a receptacle. In other words, I got it. And the rest is history. I must have good instincts! And now, for a slight titbit of b&s content that will no doubt have your mouth watering and...erm...other things. But, haha! (heres the clever bit) I'm not gonna tell you it yet! I promise you that it will come up later in the post-it will be like a Paul Daniels trick, (no, it won't be crap) it will be a surprise! huyyjujihuuuujiuuuighjuhyyuuuuuhuyuhhujuuuhjikuh (sorry, damn hair in keyboard!) erm...yea, well I 've realised how much I love writing to sisnister, because I can ramble and stuff and (hopefully) no-one will reply saying "stop talking rubbish!" which would happen if I sent something like this to people in my address book. and now...(Richard shouts 'Abracadabra' to reveal...) the b&s content. It really isn't that interesting at all, but it made my week. I've been in a play all week, and on Saturday night we had the 'end-of-show-party'. It wasn't much, especially seen as the average age of people in this theatre comapny is about 45! (At 17, I'm the youngest one!) Well as time went on, people began to go home, and as the early morning crept in there were only a few of us left. The Abba CD had just stopped playing so I had a brainwave. Richard, I thought. You have TBWTAS in dad's car. So I rushed out to get it and was soon singing along to ICHBABC, so that everyone would know it was my cd. no-one complained about it, no-one requested abba again, so I was pleasantly surprised. And now, the important bit. Track 9 began to start, The funky intro to TBWTAS drifted across the room, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw an elderly couple (mid fifties) get up and start dancing! OK, it was only for about 10 seconds. OK, they may have been a bit drunk. But I thought, way-hey, old people dancing to may fave band! Was it worth the wait? OK, maybe not (I told you it was like a Paul Daniels magic trick!) Anyway, I'm off-Cheese and crackers are calling me... Yours in all things B&S, Richard P.Shhhfff. Oops, I've developed a lisp!

Sinister: Cardigans, "I Love Buses", and the new single

Bush have, apparently, dropped off the face of the earth and are currently masquerading as a simian American President (they take turns, you know), while our dear B&S have an ode to their car. On the single... For whatever its worth, I love the first and third tracks, and I like the instrumental bits of ILMC (don't like the verses that much) but... I don't know, maybe something's wrong with me, but it didn't make me *feel* what something like Mary Jo made me feel. Am I incapable of being touched by a song anymore, or do these songs just not affect me as much? I was worried. I put on Mary Jo, and I was worried. Then the chorus hit, and I got that....that Feeling inside, and I knew it was okay. Also, someone criticized Boy Done Wrong Again, and I couldn't disagree more. It's so beautiful, so emotional that once I fell in love with it (granted, it took a few listens), it was pretty much the only thing I listened to for a week or so. It's easily one of my favourite B&S songs. To put it in the same sentence as Beyond the Sunrise is just...*shudders*. Well, anyways, I'm off.

Sinister: If you could free my inner child then I could free your inhibitions, baby
by Genevieve Wesley 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

Dougal Shaw's post was nice and amusing to read this morning. I like the idea of the tiger suit in Glasgow. Apparently some men like when ladies wear their low-riders and expose the strings on the side (or worse), although personally, I think it's a bit trashy. I had a whole idea in my mind about I'm Waking Up To Us before I heard the song. I was thinking more in the positive - waking up figuratively and literally, Oh my love, how lovely you look sleeping. Do not stir! I will go and make us some crepes with my strong, freckled, Scottish arms. This is appealing as any girl with over-protective parents will know, the sleepover is quite the mastermind operation that requires extreme precision, synchronizing of fellow girlfriend's cell phone, etc. I like that oldies song that goes "I like it, I like it" - 'And I like the way you let me come in when yer Mummer ain't there!' But anyways, the song wasn't like that at all. It was about the realization of a terrible relationship, so that's a bit sad. Difficult not to read the song as autobiographical? I suspect the lyrics may appeal more to girls who feel a bit under appreciated - 'But Struan, *I* would never ask you to buy my expensive clothes. By god man, if all you ever wanted is to show the beauty of the world that surrounds me, that's all I'll ever need!' He sounds so sad, on the verge of crying. I forget about wanting to slap the stupid girl in the song and want to console him. I love the instrumental bit (especially at the end) of ILMC. It sounds like it's from the olden days. A smoky bar with Struan in a fancy hat or something, being mildly menacing (but in that appealing way: arm stretched out, hand resting on the wall, girl leaning her back on the wall) to a girl in a swirly skirt. I was excited at the prospect of Keith's Grammar School that one listee is attending. A lovely vision of headmistresses impatiently rapping the blackboard: "Repeat after me: Alright lads, Haha! Top." Another lovely vision, someone told me that in England when they make cattle grids there HAS to be a little ramp exiting the hole so as to make sure little critters who fall through the grid can get back out. I hope this is true and not someone playing with my mind! I am one of those annoying Christmas person (I do love it!), so I will be careful not to cause smoke to fly from little sinisterine ears. Papa is a church organist so now is the time of year when the house is flooded with hymns. They (B&S) already did one of my favourites last time, and despite the wide array of choice, I would most like them to do O Holy Night. But please! Struan to sing that one. If you think I'm being mean to Isobel, I could see her (and Sarah) singing Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses. Plus, Mick gets a nice trumpet bit. Then to finish with Il Est Ne, Le Divin Enfant. Hope you all have fantastic shows in Belfast and Glasgow. :) Although never actually hearing the word in a conversation, I suddenly see 'pastiche' everywhere! Is it like the dreaded pasties? Oh that feeling in the early morning hours after a night of alcohol, thinking my kingdom for a glass of water only for it to taste so horrible.

Sinister: donovanydonovanydonovanydonovany...
by Corduroy Boy 11 Dec '01

11 Dec '01

Darn and blast you all, everytime i think of something I want to say on sinister, everyone goes and says it. And this time, it was archel. A record of three things that I have thought about today, and she steals them from my head like the anti-santa. This frightens me a little, maybe I know her in a cunning guise...I hope so!;-) Anyway, this post is just reiterating (is that right?) what some have said, but padded with fuzz, so I'll keep it...no, better not promise to keep it short, it never seems to work. 1: Struan's voice IS a bit donovany (thats a fun word to repeat...say the subject line...), most obvious in the line, "she was the one love of my life...". And I do sometimes worry that much B&S is plagarised, but is it true plagarism if they do it <-------> this much better and <---------------------> this much more emotive? I think not. 2. The new single, alright, not exactly the canine's cobblers but I agree with archel in that Marx and Engels is hoobilicious. But I have respect for idles, because she scares me slightly. In a seductive way. 3. The Big Lebowski, possibly the most beautifully quotable film in history, I will therefore recite some of my favourites with relish: "Eight years old, dude." "The dude abides." "But dude, d'ya have to use so many cuss words?" "Well, for f**ks sake, Walter, y'know, f**k you. Yeah, see you at practice." OK, that'll do for now, but you're getting off light... Right, enough of the formal points. Kieran, your school is stoopid. Sorry about the list abuse, everyone. Well, I don't know what I've actually done but I'm convinced by reading some posts that I commit list abuse everytime I breathe! Ha ha, the wit. Oh, oh, this is funny, if you haven't heard it before. I'll give you the situation: At a friends. He has his Aussie cousin over, so I naturally started to rib him for being an Aussie, giving it the old, "Who was it that was asked on his passage to Australia if he had a criminal record and he replied, "I didn't know it was still necessary!?" (It was Oscar Wilde by he way...) so he told me this... "Someone asked Stevie Wonder if he minded being blind, and he replied, "it could be worse, I could be black!" Ah ha ha! Eeee, hee hee hee! Quite. Well, against all chances, this has wound up short. Sod's law really, as soon as I said I wouldn't promise... the boy with the scarab hat Corduroy Boy P.S. Archel: (and anyone else who wishes to know my self made picture of archel) I'm sure I've mentioned this before but "archel" makes you sound like some huge, cool, destroying warrior angel! But a hot one, like on the back of "Ash: free all angels" t-shirts... Anyway, is this woollen goods for favours thing still on? I have a brown balaclava with monkey ears on... actually, I'd like to keep that. P.P.P.P.S:(excuse my stutter) the last sign off I did was taken from the amazing advert (now, sadly not with us...) for Kia Ora. Possible 2nd place advert phrase? The Quavers one.

Hey James and other Belfast concert attending sinisterians, I think the Dirty Vicar was talking about Botanic Park... not the Botanic night club. Because the Botanic night club sucks warm sick through a short straw. Playing S club 7, chart dance music, poedophile boy band music and whatever novelty 'cartoonies type' singles that happen to be in the charts that week. The Eglantine is just as bad if not worse. The Fly has a very strict dress code and sucks shit also. Dukes and Renshaws are OK but they're just hotel bars and may be lacking in atmosphere. I've been away from Belfast for about a year so I'm probably not the best person to suggest a place to go. However, the Limelight, Auntie Annies and the Menagerie used to be very good. Are Belfast boys, Daragh and Ian 'the gibber' Mc Kinney still on the list? Some enlightenment, please. Not long now (woohoo!), Tim PS. I hadn't intended to post this message to sinister but the thought of any sinisterians inadvertendtly ending up in the Bot, the Eg or the Fly was just too horrific *************************************************************************************** 'Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.' from Catch 22 by Joseph Heller (1923-1999) _________________________________________________________________ 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.
